Uncle how can u put "Ivanovic" and "match winning goals" in d same sentence

Did you start watching football this season? Or is it only Man Utd matches you watch?

Over the years Ivanovic have been a goal scoring defender we have.

Where do I start? Is it his brace against Liverpool in UCL, a match we won 3-1? Or his winner against Napoli in 2012? Who scored our winner against Benfica in Europa League final? Last season Capital One Cup semi-finals against Liverpool, with the tie level on 1-1, who scored the winner in the second leg? Two seasons ago, Chelsea won Man City 1-0 in Etihad Stadium, guess who the goal scorer is. Even this season that Iva is poo, who scored the winner against Southampton in our 2-1 win away?

Should I continue?

Take time o

Pataki:
Financial stability/security matters a lot these days. But then again, there are those who are into the game for the passion and joy that it gives them.

Hard to categorically state what motivates a player either for the money or the passion. But then again, Kante does not strike me as the kind of player that will want to deny himself of the opportunity of a Champion's League feature this coming season just to play for a dying Chelsea.

What makes you think Chelsea is 'dying'? Because of one year European absence?

Pataki:
There are players who are into in the game for the passion of playing, there are players who are into the game for the money, glamour and fame it would possibly bring to them.

I personally do not think Kante will leave Leicester to go and play for Chelsea when he knows there is a bigger picture and bigger opportunity for him if he plays for Leicester next season in the Champions League than for a Chelsea who currently are still trying to gather themselves together under a new coach.

Reality stinks at times.

Passion.

Money.

Tell yourself the truth, in today's world of football, which comes first in most cases when it comes to player transfer? Passion or Money?

Or do you think Teixeira doesn't have passion for the game? Doesn't he cherish UCL football? Why did he reject Chelsea and Liverpool? Why exactly did he head East?

Pataki:
Who knows how many seasons Chelsea will go before they ever smell continental football again? There are various factors big name players consider before they sign for clubs. One of such factors is, are they going to play in European Championships? You think a Cesc Fabregas will leave Barcelona to go and sign for Norwich or Watford, in this day and age where you can make so much money from global marketing brands if you are featured in continental matches?

Or you think a certain Kante who fought tooth and nail to make sure his club features in European Championship season will suddenly, let it all go and decide to play for a Chelsea? What is the incentive? Every player looks at the opportunity they have at the moment and grab it. Football is a game that one season you are fantastic, the next season you are probably on crutches. So forget all these bigger pictures you are painting here. Na Emenalo dey see bigger picture.

Yea I get you, those are the factors Alex Teixeira (26 years) and Jackson Martinez (29 years) considered before leaving sure UCL football every season and signing for Jiangsu Suning and Guangzhou Evergrande respectively.

I will pretend like I didn't see that Fabregas Norwich/Watford example you gave up there.

I'm still looking for the 'amazing' in these photos (I can't bring myself to call it designs).

Is typing a text on an already made photo 'amazing'?

I mistakenly migrated into another plan and now I can't load with *555* any solution?

No solution.

'Welcome to Airtel' is a one time follow come package. Once you opt out, you're gone.

kelvin7891:
You are 60% right and 40% wrong, load Ur new Airtel line ( smart connect) with N1000 then you will be given 1g and N2600 for Airtel to Airtel calls and Ur N1000 still intact valid for 2 weeks then after using Ur free data and airtime load N500 and you will be given 500 mb and N1300 for Airtel to Airtel call Ur N500 still intact plus Ur previous N1000 making it N1500 then you can now subscribe to Airtel 3g for N1500. Total 4.5g and N3900 for Airtel to Airtel calls. Note the free 500mb and N1300 is valid for 7 days making Ur date to last up to 1month 3 weeks

Gbam!

You get total of 4.5gb with 1500naira.

One more thing, use up your bonus before subscribing for the 3gb. If you subscribe when your bonus is still on, they will start charging you from your main data. Airtel is not like Etisalat that exhausts bonus first before main data.

I'm still skeptical to use my Glo sim again. This new plans are so tempting. Ever since I have been enjoying my Airtel *555* bonus, I find it hard to migrate to another network.

Pataki:
From Chambers to Coquelin to Kante? For a club that that will not even feature in CL, heck! Even EUROPA league, no show.

How wonderful it must be, to be a fantastic dreamer.

You guys keep hammering it like a club CANNOT attract big name without Champions League football.

Last transfer Chinese cash splash in Europe should have been enough for a rethink.

Afterall it's just one season we will miss european football. Yes, just one season. Players looking at the bigger picture will know that Chelsea is a big club. European football is guaranteed, forget about this crazy season we had. Is the player signing for just one season?

Na wao...

Nihilist:
That's a tasty looking squad right there.

IMO Ivanovic has to go, as well as JT. I'm not feeling Matic either sef. I would love a Kante- Coquelin Pivot though. Absolutely Looove it.

Roman please make it happen!

IMO Ivanovic stay. He might be poo this season but his versatility is still important in that backline. And he is a defender you can be sure of popping up to score match winning goals regularly. Terry can go. I like that Bonucci guy but I'm not sure about his age.

I won't be happy one bit if we fail to sign Nianggolan this season. I'd love to see Fabregas Nianggolan Matic in a 433 formation. Ibime isn't this the type of midfield you're yearning for?

BTW that your first line up Griffon is super.

raumdeuter:
When was the last time an EPL dominated team won any major trophy?

2006 world cup won by Serie A dominated players

world cup 2010 won by La Liga dominated players

World cup 2014 won by Bundesliga dominated players

Now when would EPL dominate a team that wins

1966

raumdeuter:
Its not about quantity its about quality

The last world cup EPL had the most players but by the time we got to the finals how many EPL players were left vs How many Bundesliga and La Liga were left

Haba take am easy nah.....allow me mention u finish before you reply nah lol...

This is 2016 not 2014.

When Belgium or France lift Euro, count how many EPL players that will be on parade.

The Premier League will provide nearly 20% of the players at Euro 2016 - more than any other league.

A total of 103 players out of the 552 will come from the English top flight, ahead of the German Bundesliga, which will be represented by 57 players.

Spain's La Liga, whose clubs Sevilla and Real Madrid won the 2016 Europa League and Champions League titles, will only have 34 players in France.

A study byPolish site Ekstrastatsalso calculates that the English Championship will provide 31 players, more than France's Ligue 1.

Liverpool and Juventus are the best represented clubs with 12 players, with 11 from Tottenham and 10 from Manchester United.

Eighteen of the 24 countries will contain players from the Premier League.

The Wales squad contains 13 players from the English top flight, while the Republic of Ireland and Belgium both have 12.

All stats are based on clubs at the end of 2015-16.

The best league in the world

Raumdeuter come and see how many players Bundesliga is donating for Euro 2016.

SmooshCHN:
I guess everyone's busy one way or the other.. That's why we adopted the 1 challenge/week.

Yea

Why is the thread deserted?

I'm still the last poster since 9am! It's almost 5pm now...

Been away for a while.

Another piece...

Let me just drop this for now...

I hope her hands draw enough attention

Leggo!

SmooshCHN:
Ok man, I'll stop derailing.. So the next challenge would be announced tomorrow. Hope to see your posts, dadebayo1, demiladegold, timbros, kinesis, ihanreh, chukxie and others. Have a nice weekend everyone.

Nice weekend to you too bro.

SmooshCHN:
My go to app though is Snapseed. I only use Pixlr to add my Logo

Yea I noticed from previous pages. I have downloaded Snapseed too. I'm just trying to get a hang of both apps.

My go to app is Picsart.

SmooshCHN:
It's available on Android.. Yes you can. Select the picture you want to put your signature or logo on, then in the tools panel select double exposure it'll allow you select a new image of which should be your Logo then you can resize it to your taste and confirm it.

Thanks man. I just downloaded it. Let me play with it a little.

SmooshCHN:
If I'm uploading from PC, I use Adobe Lightroom, if I'm uploading from my phone I use Pixlr Express

I hope I'll get Pixlr Express in play store. I know it's iPhone you use.

So you mean I can use Pixlr to add a designed signature on my photos?

SmooshCHN:
Lol.. There are pros here but I'm definitely not qualified to be one.. The announcement is made at weekends so you have the whole week to post your pictures.. Until the next challenge is announced.

Cool.

Do you use PC or phone to add those imprints on your photos? Which app do you use?

SmooshCHN:
New challenges are announced every Saturday Evening or Sunday Morning. Hope you're following the thread already. We hope to see your work

Yea, following.

Wanna learn more from pros like you.

Sunday morning won't work for me o. Saturday evening is okay.

It's like the FP rush is over. Though if not for FP, I wouldn't have stumbled on this wonderful thread.

I'm definitely hanging around for more challenges.

Please do well to mention me when the next challenge is unleashed (tomorrow I guess). cc: Victoriousvic SmooshCHN

Oahray:
Jeez! Really so easy to deceive the eyes. Creativity...

Yea. You can be easily deceived at first glance.

Malayy:
this op is a goat.. he doesn't know what derby is.. liverpool vs man utd, barcelona vs real madrid.. are not derbies.

Are you okay? Did you even read the first post before embarrassing yourself in the public? How can you be this insulting for no just cause? How old are you please?

Airport Road, Abuja

I love this.

Be right back with mine.

Ibime I think the reason why you see Nihilist mentioning Forde, Marina etc and even Roman in his debates is because he wants to prove that Emenalo doesn't have the absolute decision making in all those flop signings.

Remember the original debate started with almost everyone blaming Emenalo for everything happening in Chelsea now, starting from 2012 abi '11. Nihilist is trying to prove that there are names higher than Emenalo at some point in decision making during this period hence the names.

@Griffon what do you think, who has more power in decision making as per player signing, Emenalo or Marina? Who of the two has more power to accept or reject a player to be signed?
