After successfully get Koulibaly seems Chelsea hasn't stopped to buy defender players and rumour is they want to buy Josko Gvardiol from RB Leipzig...
Of course they can stop at that, for now they have only two recognized, senior team defenders in persons of T. Silva and Koulibaly, that isn't enough, Chelsea is a team that competes for all titles, so as they progress in domestic cup competitions and the CL, they are going to be playing far more games than the average teams, so they need as many players as possible, there will be fatigue and injury problems, so Tuchel wants to make sure that he uses this summer transfer window to counter those 'future' problems.

Having said that, I have not heard of any rumor about this particular player, that doesn't mean it isn't true, they have been linked with a couple of central defenders in the past two weeks, soon we will know whom they will sign, i think Chelsea still has to sign two central defenders to be complete at the back, remember T. Silva isn't the youngest player in the world right now, so he will have more issues with injuries and fatigue than is normal.

So I missed this comment earlier on. Let me ask you, what happens to those who inherit the properties of death people like their accounts in the bank, their houses and cars? There are people who even refuse to drop the mobile phones and sim cards of their dead ones. They continue to use them. Are you going to also say they are vultures too like the Pharmacist referred to them?
That is a different thing entirely, you are talking about acquired wealth and properties when you refer to cars, houses and money being inherited, of course if i had any/plenty of that (sadly i do not), then i'd want my family to inherit it, hell, it would even be included in my will how it should be shared amongst them; but a bitcointalk account? Hell no, of what benefit would it be to any of my family member to keep this account when i'm no longer around, a bitcointalk account isn't a 'property', it is just an online account on a platform for discussing Bitcoin and other whatnots. Now let me make ask a question with something more similar, using online accounts on different other platforms, would you have your family member inherit your Facebook, TG, IG or Whatsapp account when you're no more? No right? Then why a Bitcointalk account?

Personally I would like to see my next of kin will keep my account alive to keep my memory alive. Maybe it could be for money (if signature campaign still continues) or any family business I will have associated with the account or it could be just to explore the ideas I left behind or anything else. I will have not idea what situation they will be in.
What about trust and reputation. Your account is a trusted one here, of course as a result of what you have done over the years in the forum, do not get me wrong, i'm not saying your next of kin isn't a trustworthy person, but trust isn't inherited, if i trust you and i am unaware that your account has changed hands and is in the custody of another, what if something goes wrong whilst i try to deal with the current user whom i think is you. I might be overthinking things, but i think an account shouldn't exist once the original owner is no more.

Why would Harry Kane leave Tottenham Hotspur F.C? The club has been very successful in the transfer window this year signing more than four players. They would be playing in the UEFA Champions league next season. He is enjoying a demi-godlike respect and prestige in the team. In fact Harry Kane is the most respected and loved player in Tottenham. The team also have one of the best coaches in the world. Except for personal reasons why would Kane leave Tottenham for Bayern Munich. Kane is not for sale because he is priceless. 
To win trophies. Yeah Spurs have made a couple of encouraging singnings ahead of next season, but if we are to be honest with ourselves they stand no chance of winning any major trophy next season, Bayern on the other hand are serious contenders for all trophies they will be comepting for, the German League is theirs to lose already, even before the league begins, thus Kane would be happy to move to a team that he is guaranteed to win trophies in, he hasn't managed to win any in his career thus far.

Having said that, Kane is respected in Spurs, but that matters less for a professional, mind you that Lewandowski has moved on, to Barcelona, so Kane will still get the love and respect he deserves should he move to Bayern, he will be their main marksman and will get so much playing time. Bayern are on a different level to Spurs, it will be a dream for Kane to move to a great club like Bayern.

I knew Ronaldo was not going to stay at Manchester United because of the failure to qualify for the champions league,because there is no way a person like Ronaldo will not play in the champions league while his friends are there.And the worst part of it is that they are not yet sure of next season,whether they will qualify or not.Despite all the players that were at the club last season,they still did not qualify,maybe the problem was the coach,but lest watch out to see what this new coach will bring to the club.If Ronaldo end up staying at the club,it simply means that Ronaldo have a genuine love for Manchester United.
There is no doubt that Ronaldo loves Manchester United and its fans, but as for him staying at United for this new season and beyond, i sincerely doubt that; the thing is, Manchester United is somewhat like a team that is in its rebuilding phase, and that is going to take quite a long time. Manchester United already missed out on CL football for this new season, and you can always be certain that they aren't going to compete for the EPL next season, and they might find themselves in a very competitive top four battle, of which the possibility of them winning that battle is low. Ronaldo is not a young player, and he just has a few years left at the elite stage, he wouldn't want to spend all of those remaining few years struggling, without winning any trophies and not even guaranteed to play in Europe's elite competition (CL), all of these are strong reasons as to why Ronaldo has to use the exit door right now, before he rounds off his career in a pretty unrecognized way.

Chelsea is a very rich club in Premier League. But they are very reluctant to spend money. They are not interested in buying players with high prices. They want to build better teams with less money. But this is not always possible. If the Chelsea management had given Tuchel enough funding, Chelsea would have fought for both the Premier League and Champions League titles.
With Chelsea's current squad they can compete for all four titles, i am surprised you are writing them off, even when the season is yet to start, Chelsea didn't have a bad squad before this summer to begin with, they just lost a couple of their defenders, of which they must have to replace them, they have already signed Koulibaly, and they are chasing one more defender i think, they have also strengthened their attack with the acquisition of Raheem Sterling from City, which is a brlliant signing. Chelsea are doing good business in my opinion, they are only being somewhat prudent in their spending because they already have a good squad, and only minimal spending is required to ensure they are going to compete for all four trophies.
2347  Economy / Reputation / Re: Dead member account suddenly active? on: July 19, 2022, 11:29:52 PM
but I'm not sure how likely it is for a dead member's family to start using their account to earn money.  Sounds like a family of vultures to me, and if they're going to do that....fuck 'em.
Tbh, i do not think a user's family member can even think of doing something as ludicrous as that, and if it ever happens or has happened previously, then your description of them above is not far from the truth. I have already said it in this thread that if a late user's family member likes Bitcointalk and they are nothing like your description above, then they will register and have their own account, to even think of inheriting someone else's Bitcointalk account is a thought that shouldn't even cross a sane person's mind.

Mourinho is really building something great at Roma, he was able to win the conference league last season. The goal next season is to compete for the Seria A trophy and they will need more reinforcement to boost the squad for the next campaign, I read today on the net that Roma and Dybala's team are in advance stages of their negotiations, hopefully they will get the deal done and see Dybala in Roma shirts next season, it is no doubt that Dybala will be a very good addition to the team.
Mourinho is doing pretty well, maybe not great in my opinion because he hasn't really done anything out of the ordinary, yes they won the Conference League, but it is not a special tournament, it is the third tier in European Football, behind the CL, and UEL, so i can't call it a great achievement, remember that Roma also failed to finish in the top four last season; do not get me wrong, i am not trying to undermine Moutinho's influence on the team, but i do not think he has done too much that is worthy of excessive praise. Having said that, he is not signing players that are bad at all, i am pretty sure they will aid them next season, but i do not think they can win the Seria A next season, they will be challenging for a top four finish, but definitely not the trophy.

We get small hope say our vote fit count for general elections.
E go count oh, i happy say many people don they believe say power they in the hands of the people in a democratic country, i know say these politicians don suffer us well well, them don make many of us lose hope on the country, many people don already talk say Naija no fit better again, and na wetin these corrupt politicians them like, so that people no go too come out vote, based on say them believe say their vote go waste at the end of the day, thus the thing go they easy for them to rig and do their different mago mago, as plenty people no chook eye for the matter.

But as 2023 they so, wey e be say people don they get hope for a better Nigeria, the story go they different oh, i commend Inec for the electronic transmission of election result wey them don adopt recently, the thing go help us wella next year, once voting just end like this for a particular polling unit, them go count am send the result immediately to the collation system, "e they play, e they show", for people wey never hear about am, go read am, e they everywhere for news. I believe say the thing go reduce mago mago wey they happen for our election before, so make everybody get their PVC, ready themselves to vote the most credible candidate, as we all know whom the person be.

So sad as Chelsea miss out on another player again in the window. The Blues probably failed to meetup for Mathijs de Ligt and Bayern Munich won the race to bring the tactical defender to Allianz Arena. However Thomas Tuchel can still scout for another player instead of him just been reluctant. The Blues needs defenders, those that will be stoppers and intercepts the ball in actions. That's the main focus of the Blues and Thomas is giving everything he has to bring in a valuable defender that will help give Koulidou Koulibaly some assistance in the defense line.
Congratulations to Bayern Munich, De Light will be a success in their team as he will improve them and help them challenge for titles, as for Chelsea, i do not think they will be too disappointed, they are not doing any badly in this transfer window, as for them needing defenders, they already have Koulibaly in Stamford Bridge, and i think the discussion of the transfer of Kimpembe from PSG is progressing, i am not entirely sure about that, but if Chelsea can get him, that will solve their defensive issues, and they should be more than ready for the new season with their squad.

Ronaldo has proven that he does not play for money by rejecting the huge offer from the Arabian League.
Of course he does Grin but what he wouldn't do is play for a team that will bring his career to new lows, who even watches the Arabian League, there is no way Ronaldo can go there, at least not now that he still feels he can compete at the highest stage/level possible, and not just Ronaldo, quite a lot of top footballers will reject that offer, unless they feel they are ready to retire very soon. Thus Ronaldo wants to earn money, play great football, win titles (individual ones too) and remain in the spotlight, and the only way he can do that is to stay in one of the top leagues in Europe, and play for one of the top clubs that are in the CL, and can compete for all titles they are involved in.

Man utd had news around Dybala a certain time last fews week's.
But if you take a good look at him he is already an injury player at Juventus.
Man utd has some good players upfront even Greenwood is yet to be back.
Haven't heard shit about the English player for sometime.
Is there any return for Greenwood? I think that scandal is more like the end of his career, he has a lot going on off the pitch with his court hearing, and he has also be suspended indefinitely by Manchester United, so Greenwood is not in any of their plans. Manchester United aren't going to sign Dybala, he is going to sign for A.S. Roma, at least legitimate/trusted reports have pointed in that direction.

Memphis Depay's condition in the team is still ambiguous for now. He is talking to Barcelona board and there are some new updates about it. The team are likely to let him go if he wants to leave this summer. They seem even ready to sell him for a low transfer fee. Considering that they have signed him on a free transfer it is normal I believe. Depay seems likely to leave only if he finds a big team for himself. He still wants to be a part of a strong team at the end of the day.
I think i understand Depay's concern, Barcelona have brought in new quality players, and the competition for places in the team is going to be tough, Depay is only trying to be sure that he is still in the managers plans for next season, so he doesn't come into the season and sit on the bench for the most part of it, i'm pretty sure what is most important to him is playing time. Even if they do not sell him this summer, Depay might likely leave in the January (2023) transfer window if he is not happy with his game time from the beginning of the season (August) till then.
2354  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ETH is leading the market to a monthly high... on: July 18, 2022, 05:53:55 PM
Though the increase was not high enough to cover the cost of the loss over the last months, this is one the good indications that the market is not dying rather investors are really there just waiting for the right time to invest when the price is low and they're just making sure to make some profit in their investment, especially in this kind of scenario where bull runs aren't really possible to come.
Bear markets are quite normal, so i do not think anyone is really growling about losses, except those who sold because they panicked or investors that invested in shitcoins that crashed, something like Luna, but if not that, investors that are conversant with the crypto market will understand this plunge and hodl their coins till the bull market comes. The market isn't gonna die, neither will there be any exodus from the crypto network, smart investors will be patient, and will most importantly choose coins that are sustainable for the long period.

According to Bild Bayern Munich are still thinking of going for Harry Kane. I really don't know about this because it seems very difficult for Tottenham to let him go now. They have been doing a great job with Antonio Conte and they have qualified for the Champions League as well. In these circumstances Tottenham wouldn't like to lose a huge strength. I know that they have signed Richarlison but I don't think that they have made this transfer against the possibility of selling Kane.
It is very difficult to buy a player from Spurs, especially one that they do not want to let go of, and still has a contract with them, i have seen it happen, they know how to drag the transfer discussions, and table exorbitant asking fee from the club that wants the player. Spurs did this same thing to City last summer when they were chasing Harry Kane, and thus i believe it is going to be very difficult for Bayern to sign Kane, except the player forces a move, and doesn't care at all about a fall out with the club and its fans.

Lewandowski has moved to Barca, so it is quite normal that Bayern will need a replacement, they have got Mane, but i am pretty sure they will want to play him from either the right or left side of their attack, rather than from the middle, Kane is a perfect replacement for Lewandowski, and it is a team he can win absolutely any trophy; but i am pretty sure Spurs will once again stand in his way of an exit.

This brings an interesting question. Are bitcointalk account heritable?
AFAIK, no they are not, i mean a bitcointalk account shouldn't be so important as to be inherited by any other person than the original user, if a user is dead, or decides to abandon their account, that should be the end of it, if any of their family member likes Bitcointalk, they will have to register their own personal account and start their own Bitcointalk journey.

Bitcointalk has a lot to do with trust and reputation, which makes it absurd to be inheritable, imagine an account with a whole lot of positive trust and a good reputation in the hands of someone else who isn't the original user, that person can use the account to scam people. Post quality is another thing, it will be very annoying for a quality posters account to fall into the hands of someone that is not so good at posting, and the posts go from high quality to garbage.

Paulo Dybala will be joining As Roma soon at Italy today.
Jose Mourinho was key to he's signature as he was called to join As Roma.
Paulo Dybala will be on or is on his way already to Italy to pass medical completely.
Dybala to Roma is good for both parties, to start with i do not think too many clubs were interested in Dybala, and i am sure Mourinho didn't have too much work to do convincing him to join, i know the deal is not official yet, but there are quite a lot of rumors about it, so it might just be a matter of time before it is sealed. Mou and Roma will be looking to build on their impressive performance last season, they were unable to finish in the top four, but they won the first ever UEFA Conference League, which can be said to be a success, now they just have to get their transfer business right and compete again next season, Matic has already joined, and Dybala (who seems to be a direct replacement for mkhitaryan who left for Inter Milan) could also be on his way to Roma.

merits and leaving via good posts is the only way for some poor people.
I am not against this, and i do not think you understood my post. My idea is that the sole aim should not be about merits and signature campaign, at least at the beginning of a user's journey in Bitcointalk, the thing is this, if a user concentrates on merits, they might get too desperate/frustrated if it doesn't come as quickly as they have envisaged, and this could cause them to make some mistakes like plagiarism that might get them banned. But if a user genuinely enjoys posting in Bitcointalk and discussing Bitcoin and other whatnots/issues, they will easily garner knowledge, earn merits, eventually rank up and join a signature campaign in the end, and when on the signature campaign, they will not struggle to make as many constructive posts as the campaign (and its manager) requires.

In case Chelsea succeed in buying this player, I do think that he would be like Rudiger and Chelsea's backline will get  stronger even more than before.
Chelsea didn't start their transfer business too early, and quite a lot of people started to grumble, i'm sure no one is grumbling right now, Chelsea have scored important points in this transfer market with two major signings in the past week or so (Sterling and Koulibali). Chelsea haven't just signed makeshift players, they have acquired players that will be very pivotal in their quest to win as many titles as possible. Kimpembe will solidify their backline should they get him, they would be able to boast of three brilliant center backs ( in persons of T.Silva, Koulibali and Kimpembe), i do not know if PSG are willing to sell, i think their new manager has Kimpembe in his plans, but we will see.

Thus far, between City, Liverpool, Arsenal, Spurs, and Chelsea, who has done the better business for themselves in this summer transfer window? Obviously United are still well behind.

Everyone should vote their choice, not need attacking people online to prove a point.
You are correct on this bro. Every Nigerian is of course entitled to campaign and vote for the candidate of their choice. I am not a supporter of attacking opposition supporters, but many of the people who attack opposition supporters online do it out of frustration and anger, their ire is that, how can a Nigerian after all we have been through support either Tinubu or Atiku, people that have a track record of corruption, a 'structure' of rigging, impoverishing the masses and embezzlement, as well as many other negatives, when there is a candidate vying for the same position who has a track record of success when he previously held a public position and deserves to be given a chance on a larger scale (as president), i can understand their anger, and in as much as i think some of the talks of online attacks are basically blown out of proportion, i am not in support of any of it. Let us all just support our candidates, no need of us arguing over it bro.
