Really happy to see Chelsea are trying to sign a new goal keeper, Jordan Pickford from Everton is the one candidate [1]. Pickford is quite good since Everton usually not suffer losses with many goals and mostly Everton match was draw. I always say the main problem of Chelsea is their goal keeper, Kepa is good but he's currently injured so they don't have any choice and let Mendy to play again.

Chelsea problem isn't defense instead it's the midfield and wingbacks, any team that dominate those positions easily score us lots of goals. We have great defenders but when you put defenders under too much pressure than they can absorbed then they'll break and the keeper will be left exposed. We should be more focused on signing quality defensive and creative midfielders. The current ones are very average. Players like jorginho can't be relyed on as he's very poor defensively and players like Kovačić isn't that creative and neither is any of the midfielder we currently have excluding mason mount.

The right wingback which is the position of Reece James is lacking a like to like replacement incase Reece James is injured . Positions as this are what the club should be focus on and not signing players we have in good quality. Mendy and Kepa are good goal keepers and don't forget we also signed another goalie in last summer window so why do we need another goalie when we have three quality ones already.

The first games in the Champions League don't really matter. For example, last year Sheriff in the first two rounds beat Shakhtar and then Real at the Santiago Bernabeu and led the group, but then everything fell into place. Everyone understood that Chelsea would advance to the next stage, the only surprise for me was that they scored 6 points in the games with Milan, I expected 4.
At the moment, Chelsea are extremely far from being favorites to win the Champions League. Bookmakers estimate their chances as 1 to 13.

Why should that surprise you, are you forgetting that Chelsea was the last two seasons tournament winners that surprised the whole world when they fought their way through to the finals and defeated an informed Manchester city side to lift the trophy. Chelsea has excellent players but just lack a manager to motivate them correctly. We could all see how good the side is when the players gets the right motivation from the manager (Thomas Tuchel using this underrated squad to lift the trophy and Potter going from last in the group to winning the group).

Last two seasons, we weren't favorite as well but yet we lifted the trophy while defeating all the so called favorites. This season I'm not over expecting much from the players since we're yet to have a full squad, the like of Kante and Reece James are injured and that's giving some unbalanced to the team. When we do get our full squad back, I can bodly say we'll defeat any team that dares to stand in our way of lifting the trophy. Potter is an excellent manager, this is just a phase that'll pass and I'm expecting that after the world cup break, Chelsea should easily return to their previous form of winning games convincingly.
2123  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: November 22, 2022, 06:52:20 AM
The only reason Chelsea fired Tuchel was because Chelsea performance has been inconsistent since the start of the season. Chelsea appoint Potter as Tuchel successor because the coach managed to make Brighton one of the teams that could compete in the big six.

That wasn't the reason why Thomas Tuchel was sacked, Chelsea has barely played a high number of games to determine the sack of Thomas Tuchel. Todd Boehly sacked Thomas Tuchel because he was the last piece of the Roman Abramovich era left at the club. If you noticed, every other top executive has been fired or they resign volunteering as the new owners wanted to build their structure from the scratch and also there has been rumors of both parties (Boehly and Tuchel) having misunderstanding in what's needed for the club.

For example, Boehly needed a star figure at the club which lead to the club wanting to bring in Ronaldo in the summer but Thomas Tuchel didn't buy into that ideas and that's when their misunderstanding started. When Thomas Tuchel was sacked there were news from trusted sources that the sack had nothing to do with the form that Chelsea has been on but because of differences of what's best for the club from both parties and the this tension between the manager and owner has been ongoing for sometime.

For the first time in history, President Muhammadu Buhari is expected to officially kick off the drilling of crude oil in the north on Tuesday, about two years after the mineral resource was discovered in the region.

FIFA sef e don dey adopt bitcoin, yesterday someone sent me pm to join this Sportsbet.io's World Cup Prediction Sign-up. 0.002 to join 0.2+ in prizes and in the process of reading the various comments, I saw hilariousandco made a tok say FIFA Pipo sef e dey di platform. So I come dey think say, BTC go go up and e no go take time again
 Even as bi like dis, I believe say bitcoin is still All Time High (ATH).

That thread no dey in anyway associated with FIFA so FIFA never adopt Bitcoin if not e for dey all over the news. That thread na just sponsored prediction thread wey dat casino dey organize for the world cup and dem dey steadily run am for any tournament wey show up. I think the only thing FIFA been do wey concerned cryptocurrency na when dey partner with Algorand for their NFT collection.

BTC go definitely go up, like dat one na one sure thing wey dey this world wey we dey so. The way Bitcoin was built, if demand for am continue dey increase soon we no go fit afford one Bitcoin again and already self that one na strong problem for many of us as e dun dey even too cost to afford at the moment. Ehhh ehh as this world cup dey start so, which country you dey support as our own country no dey play the tournament?.
2128  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: first time using P2P on exchanges you may learn from this on: November 20, 2022, 04:56:48 PM
4. don't keep your coin on the exchange when you not ready for transactions: don't procrastinate or be ignorant of sending your coin not in use to your personal wallet. you not the owner of the exchange so funds in it aren't completely yours.

The minute you don't have full control over your funds, it basically means that coin isn't yours. P2P is meant to be a transaction between one individual to another, provided you have to trust some centralized platform to store your coin for you while you search for a buyer than you aren't actually trading P2P. It quite unfortunate that the centralized exchange has made it seem like trading with them through their so called P2P service is actually the right way to trade P2P. Many newbies coming into the industry has been misinform by this but thankfully we still have a forum like this that'll correct those wrong information.

Here are some simple things to note yourself; the moment a platform required you to deposit on their exchange then you aren't actually trading P2P, usually this platforms will require you to complete some verification process which includes giving them some private information through KYC procedures which contradict the whole point of trading decentralized. You see platforms like Binance, Okex, Kucoin etc they aren't ideal platform for carrying out P2P transaction, use the platforms suggested by the user @o_e_l_e_o.

while I went in on a single portfolio of Bitcoin and when the unexpected of FTX hack happen the whole market in shamble and his altcoin portfolio have dropped above %800+ but my bitcoin holding still maintains some level of stability.

Just to point the obvious out, FTX collapses wasn't caused by the hack that later happened to the exchange and I won't be surprised if that hack was organized to hide the true scam that Sam Bankman-Fried was into which was making used of customers funds for personal gains. I see news media blaming the collapse on the hack but that's not true and the community shoudn't be misinformed. With or without the hack, FTX would had still gone down because their unethical practice was exposed and trust was been lost by their customers which triggered the massive withdrawal of funds from the exchange.

That been said, as a newbie, the best decision you can make for yourself is investing in Bitcoin and hoarding enough before the price get out of reach of affording a whole Bitcoin. Altcoins are never the best way to get introduced into the market. When you have the right information and experience then you can play with that side of the market but your main focus should always be accumulating as much Bitcoin as possible and you'll be safe.
2130  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: What happens if binance and tether goes down on: November 20, 2022, 04:04:41 PM
Is it really over for crypto if Binance exchange or Tether go bankrupt like FTX? Can crypto survive without the centralise organizations and projects?

Just as others have commented, no it isn't over for the cryptocurency industry if those scenario you mentioned above does occur instead it'll push for more decentralization of the industry and increase awareness for the use of more of dApp instead of centralized ones. Just to take you back memory lane, back when Mt. Gox exchange was still in function and arguably more powerful than Binance, it got hacked and that didn't end the cryptocurrency movement. For more clarity read;.
Quote
The first major crypto hack occurred in 2011 when the crypto exchange Mt. Gox lost 25,000 bitcoins worth approximately $400,000.  At that time, the crypto exchange was handling nearly 70% of all bitcoin transactions. The attack didn't stop and Mt. Gox was attacked again in 2014. It lost almost 650,000 of its customers' bitcoins, and around 100,000 of its own. At the time that was 7% of all bitcoins, and worth around $473 million. Initial reasons for the coins' disappearance were unclear, but later evidence showed that the coins were stolen from the company's hot wallet.

As you can read, back then Mt. Gox was incharge of 70% of all Bitcoin transaction yet that hack didn't end the Bitcoin movement. Today although binance is the most dominant exchange but we have other options out there that even as dominate as Binance is, institutional investors still has other exchange they used for their purchases.

Because commonly, investment is only for rich people who buy the stocks or property. But crypto isdifferent, thsi si for everyone as long as they have litle money and lwant to inevst in crypto. But this is also risky and tricky, that is why elanring and preparing oursleves to invest in cypto is a must with good knowledge.
Investment has never been for the rich, the thing is just that the rich have so much money to invest a larger sum than what a poor person could afford, and a rich person would definitely have more that enough to take care of their bills and still invest, but those with little money would prolly have none left for investment after they have had their bills settled.

Actually the rich and elite of the society made it so difficult for the poor masses to get their hands on opportunities that could changed their financial story through investment and that's why majority of them are against cryptocurrency (Bitcoin) as it presented a way out for the poor masses. Even today we can see the elites (which we call the whales) still having a major say in the ways the market move but what makes cryptocurency different from other investment vehicle is that the opportunity is on equilibrium for all parties.

For example, the average users can't get into early opportunity in Real estate or stock market investment like they can do with cryptocurency which will increase their chances of profiting from their investment. With stock and real estate, only the elites gets this chances and they hoard this information for themselves or close pals but with ICO, IDO open presale in cryptocurency everyone no matter the financial class can get their hands on this early opportunity.
2132  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: I hope it's finally over for CEXs on: November 20, 2022, 03:24:50 PM
Remain blessed for that observation. Those who think Dexs are possible replacement for Cexs aren't being logical about it at all. I once asked someone who suggested Bisq as a great Dex to be used instead of any Cex (including Binance) and I drew the person's attention to the low volume there and few coins Bisq has too.

I haven't used Bisq so can't say much about the exchange but I'm a big believer that Dexs can overtake centralized exchange. Thankfully big platforms like FTX just showed the world that no matter how you think a centralized exchange is big and can't be touched, they aren't invisible. When we talk about volumes, everyone that was active during the days of Defi hype can testify how mighty Uniswap was and were competing with the big centralized exchange with volume. Personal I haven't used any centralized exchange when I want to trade Ethereum tokens or Binance tokens (I used pancakeswap and Uniswap respectively) and they have quite decent volume.

Anyone that grows to understand Dexs will realize that they're more convenient than cex, on my trust wallet app (the dApp function) makes it easier to swapp/trade tokens as easily as possible and also faster than centralize exchange that I have to wait until a certain confirmation before my coins are accessable.

Liverpool urged to sign Mason Mount and N'Golo Kante in 'incredible' Chelsea transfer swoop. Liverpool have been encouraged to sign Mason Mount and N'Golo Kante as part of an 'incredible' Chelsea transfer summer raid. The pair face increasingly uncertain futures at Stamford Bridge amid respective contract disputes.
Source: https://www.football.london/chelsea-fc/transfer-news/liverpool-mount-kante-chelsea-transfer-25556815

I don't think it'll be advisable for any premier league side to sign Ngolo Kante, I understand that he's an incredible player both at full and half capacity but he has gone past his prime amd now a liability for any club that sings him especially any club that intend to be competitive in their local or champions league. Liverpool should be wise enough to not fall for this trap suggestions as, there are better players out there that are worth signing. I don't think Liverpool would want a leftover of Chelsea and Mason mount rumors will just end as rumors as I doubt he'll be leaving Chelsea anytime soon.

All this speculations of him leaving are just strategy to use in negotiating a better deal for himself. Players use this all the time just as when Mbappe used the Real Madrid interest to get himself his current deal at PSG. Although Mason Mount shoudn't demand too much to put pressure on himself as if he gets on a very high salary and doesn't deliver weekly that'll lead to backlash and could affect his game.
2135  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season on: November 19, 2022, 10:28:20 PM
Chelsea performance in this season made people to feel bad about the team because since they sacked Thomas tuchel from Chelsea made some of their potential players to lose focus in their position. The way this new Chelsea manager is benching some of their strikers that know how to achieve early goals that will bring victory at the end of the game, show that this new Chelsea manager cannot help the team to win this trophy.
.
People are acting like Chelsea wasn't horrible at the end of Thomas Tuchel era, I understand that we won the champion league with him but what happened a year later, Chelsea got totally humiliated by Real Madrid at their home and couldn't hold a lead we were having that could have taken us to the next stage of the competition and who knows maybe we would had been able to defend the title which is something no premier league side has been able to do. Chelsea picked up form immediately Potter was signed and we are still in the tournament.

Assuming Thomas Tuchel wasn't sacked we would had gone out of the competition by now. Thomas Tuchel was playing a not so interesting football that revolved around passing the ball at the back without having any upfront force to put the goal at the back of the opponent post. With Potter, we're trying to be a little direct and with time we shall perfect that playing strategy and start winning games.
2136  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: November 19, 2022, 09:30:38 AM
at the moment, as you can see, Chelsea has problems in defense and for the front line, I think they already have enough quality players, it's just that Chemestry between the players is not well organized from midfield to front, making it difficult for the forward players to create opportunities, this it was only a matter of ticks and timing to get the cast together.

Nope we don't have creative midfielders and defensive ones as well and that's we're our problems starts from, our wingers are nothing to write home about as well. We have quite a solid defense but they can't keep the goal keeper safe always when there's no one blocking players from attacking them. In the last game we played, players like Loftus-Cheek who cause us that game as he was horrible and I still wonder why he's still a player of the club. Chelsea needs to sort out our right wing back as with James always injured we don't have a direct replacement and every other player we play there can't deliver.

At attack we have Aubameyang who needs services for him to deliver but he isn't getting that and that's why I said Chelsea lacked a creative midfielders. Mount is the only one capable of doing so but he can't be doing everything. Players like sterling has been poor on the left wing while the right wing has no player functioning properly there. Hakim Ziyech isn't getting enough playing time to excel at the position and that's all on the coach.

I'm team Senegal, by the way, and no, it's not simply because of Mane. Also rooted for them in SKorea/Japan World Cup. Have to say they don't play as attractive football these days (I watched Afcon) compared to then, but World Cup is a different affair yeah?

Lets forget the fact that Sadio mane has won over the heart of all Africans, I mean the guys has basically done so much that our politicians can't never do in their lifetime due to their corruptness. Without the fact that we all love Mane and want to see him succeed, Senegal is Africans best best at Qatar, with Senegal we're guarantee that the Africa flag will be flying high at Qatar so definitely we all are solidly behind them to bring home the trophy.

Playing for Senegal I also have club players like Mendy and Kuolibaly representing Chelsea FC at the national level so even though Mane wasn't from that country they would have had my support but for the fact they play the best football in Africa, even more than my home country and for an addition Sadio Mane is from that country, they have my support. Sadly it seems Sadio mane won't be at his best if he even plays and that's just sad because we all have our hope on him and he knows that so this injuries must be killing him. I just wish him speedy recovery.

That said I one know which coin una Dey hopeful on right now as the market Dey low and with reason make we exchange knowledge.

God this year was my worst year in cryptocurency and yes I was around the last bear market in 2018 bit not as heavily invested as I was this year. You know wetin pain me pass, I know say the bear go come so was prepared but as things look now, belike na fake preparations I do because I dey heavily at lost and no be chaise. All the monitoring I do nothing come out, you see before the Luna crash na when me enta back market heavily and I dey already 80% down. Well that one na small challenges as we go smile again.

As we dey world cup season, my eye been dey look ALGORAND say e go do well as dem sign partnership deals with FIFA but e come dey look like say nothing come out as that coin dun fall massively.

When visiting other people's countries, we will obey the policies and if not you will be sanctioned. Come on, like it or not, we have to respect Qatar's rules because they are a Muslim country, so for that I don't think there's anything wrong with those rules, unless you don't like tolerance.

I still don't understand why people are making a big deal out of the rule of this year's world cup. I understand that football is for all but kindly respect people rules and regulations. Don't come impose your belief on theirs, they have been existing before the world cup came into the picture. If you feel your right will be stepped on then don't travel, just stay back home and enjoy the world cup as must people in the world would. Put yourselves in their shoes and imagine someone coming to your country to impose their own beliefs on you, now imagine how you'll feel.

Let just enjoy football as this is a one in four years event and many of the fans won't be around to witness the next one so lets not spoil this one for them. The sad thing though about this world cup is that neither Ronaldo or Messi will get a chance of winning it again as only one or neither could lift the trophy this year. My country won't be playing at the world cup and that's sad although illybe pushing my support to Senegal and Portugal. Which all nations at Qatar the best.
