Thunder fire Rudiger & those that bought him to this team

Mount should come in for Kovacic. We need a player more decisive in the final third & can pick up passes between opponent def lines. We playing westham ffs.

Baffles me how Kovacic doesn't play everytime, the way he drives the ball? Bliss!
His forward passes are quite bad for a player his quality.

Pulisic is struggling, no one to play the ball with. We need Mount in that attacking midfield.

Oh you’ve to. I don’t know they grade MSc like that in Nigeria. It depends on saqa then.

Good morning, please anybody here who has completed SAQA with statement of result?

I have certificate for my masters degree but I do not have for my undergraduate degree.

Thank you.
Yes you can use statement of result with your transcript. All certified.

You only need to evaluate one degree with saqa. Hence, your latest MSc is enough. Which should give you a NQF level 9 for direct Phd admission.

If we sign Havertz Lampard will use 4231 formation more. We are playing 2 AMs because our attacking players are not productive enough in terms of assist and goals. With Zyech, Havertz and Warner we will have more return in attack while Kova and Kante do their job. Mostly against big teams these two need to start.
Again we don’t need Kante-Kovacic in that 2 in 4231. Only Kante will do. For example, city attack is productive enough in g+a & use 4231, but 1 of the 2 is attack minded while the other is defending. Kovacic can’t offer us great attack. Even Utd lineup today have Matic (defend) & Pogba (attack) in the ‘2’ midfield. Unless you say Kante will play b2b, but we can’t trust Kovacic in that position to shield the CBs. When Kante was in midfield 2 with Drinkwater & Matic at Lei & Che, he was more of a b2b.

Compare the pictures below, If we use Kante-Kovacic in the 2’ can it boost more progressive football play? Cos I want to see us dominate next season & not keep recycling back-side passes like the times we were using Kovacic-Jorginho-Kante against relegation teams. Though I do agree with you against big teams.

Kovacic will play CM while Kante CDM in 4231 formation. Havertz will play as AMF or SS to Warner. Kovacic will support Kante in tackling while also driving the ball half way for Havertz, Pulisic or Zyech to take it upfront. Lampard want to have more creativity and goals upfront so do every CFC fan out there. Our goal return this season have been poor so far.
IMO, Only few games we use a 4231, it’s a waste using Kovacic & Kante at that 2 when Kante wouldn’t not a b2b. Kante is enough in DM, We should look forward to killing our opponents off with wider goal margin. So to put attack minded players on deck, We will mostly use a 4-3-3 with 2 AM’s.

You made good points except Havertz is not a winger, he is AMF/false 9 at best. He will easily bench loftus cheek and Barkley who are CAM/AMF like him. Mount has work rate, he is a utility player too. But in all, Havertz will bring a lot to the team, his splitting passes and eye for goal as AMF is what we need so that Kante and Kova can play their CDM and CM effectively without thinking of moving the ball that much to connect with the attackers, Havertz will be responsible for that. Zyech is a dribbler so playing him as AMF/CAM will be too risky, he should play RWF.

Lastly, if CFC sign Havertz they will definitely sell one or two midfielders to create space. We need quality not quantity if we want to really compete for Epl title next season.
I think Lamps likes 2 AM (two 8’s) now. Kante at DM flanked by two 8’s that can keep us in attack & also sit deep to defend. See for example against city, Mount & Barkley didn’t expose Kante & were good offensively too. If we get Havertz, he will play as one of the 8s. Two attacking 8s may be the future like PEP or 05 Mou. If so where does Kovacic play?

We’ve used 2 AM’s (Mount & Barkley) to win twice; against relegation threatened Villa, & pack the bus with a city side. I think it will work.

Thank you very much,so which uni do you suggest I can't increase my budget for now due to some personal reasons.

I chose uct cause a relative told me the place is nice. But if you have one to recommend I'll do the research myself.
True, UCT is the best uni in Africa, even within top 200 in the world. Perfect if you’ve the funds, bursary from research etc. Schools such as CPUT, UKZN, DUT, UJ are not as expensive & are good schools to study engineering related course. Each school website will give you a perfect view on tuition. Application Fee is either free or less than R300 in most SA schools for a postgrad study.

Thank you very much for your reply. I want to apply for coursework. So basically how much should I budget.

I was opting out of Stellenbosch and uct
As international student Around R80k for tuition only (double check) Uct & UofStellenbosch are located at highbrow areas with expensive accommodation & cost of living. A friend of mine pays R60k per annum in one Uct residence.

Why specifically those schools if I may ask? An interest in Cape Town? Well, it’s better you apply to Atleast 5 SA schools as courses like these mostly have a quota system intake divided among citizens, PR holders, SADCs, other foreigners. Wits, Ukzn, UP, UJ are equally top-tier unis outside Cape Town.

Good evening house, please what are the processes for securing masters degree of engineering in university of Capetown, I have a budget of 2mil.

What are the stepshuh
Is your masters based on coursework or research only?

Coursework are very expensive & your 2m May not be enough in a school like Uct when we factor in tuition & accommodation.

Good day nairalanders, I applied to Wits university and they require me to send certificate of good conduct and Official academic records, that statement of credit,examination result and credit certificate are not sufficient( which I believe is my transcript). Please help me because I don't understand at all.
Saw your PM but I’ve issues with the mail I registered here on NL.

If you can get a letter of good conduct from your formal school registra. Do you have SAQA? Most SA school require it. Btw, are you applying for undergraduate or postgrad?

I will take RLC over Barkley any day.

Though dude have been unlucky with injuries.

Barkley is just a money miss road. Senseless midfielder
Ability to stay injury-free is a quality you look for in buying a player. Besides Barkley cost us only like 15m.

Barkley is not from our academy, so it’s easier to make scape goat always. But injury prone RLC at 24 is still a potential Chelsea fans are waiting for. At 21 Barkley was already bossing in Everton, getting nominated for young PFA etc
