It ain't EPL that is not suitable for Lukaku, he is just difficult to adapt to Tuchel's tactics.
Every coach has their own tactics and pattern of play, and players move to new clubs every now and then and fall under new management with a different coach/tactic, it is the responsibility of a good player to adapt to how his manager wants him to play, you can't make an excuse for Lukaku of not adapting to Tuchel's tactics, that is why he is a professional footballer, he needs to understand the game better, Chelsea didn't pay the huge sum they did for him to complain about struggling to adapt. Erling Haaland is coming to City next season, and he is going to play under one of the most demanding managers in Pep, with a new strategy and responsibilty, but we all expect him to shine, more of the problem is on Lukaku's technical abilities if he is leaving cause he is struggling to adapt.

especially at the cost of incredible luck, as it happened this season, when the teams that were stronger and higher class were passed.
I can't agree less with you on this aspect, Real Madrid were very lucky to win the CL last season (i know, who cares, they won), and i am pretty sure even the players and their manager know they just about kept on defying elimination, against PSG, Chelsea, City and Liverpool, they were not the better team in any of these games, especially against City, were Pep's men dominated the two legs, should have put the game to bed even in the first leg, but blew it all up few seconds to go in the tie. It is what it is, and Madrid went on to win the CL, but to be honest they were not the team most deserving of the title in terms of performances and domination.
2463  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is alternative cryptocurrency meeting up to it expectations on: June 19, 2022, 10:37:00 PM
It was never meet my expectations since I'm not naive to trust all the promises of cryptocurrencies that they were the future. I stay with cryptocurrency because it can bring me profit, and bring it fast if I know what thing to do. That it, no bought in by empty promises and expectations like many in this thread.
I quite understand your position in the network, it is one of an altcoin enthusiast, and to be very fair to you it is the correct one, i for one do not believe that altcoins are long term projects, they are to be held for the short term and sold for quick profits, cause they have no utility and are only backed by fake promises. But Bitcoin is unlike them, Bitcoin has an actual utility and it is nothing like altcoins, thus if you ever should trust any coin for the long term/future, then it should be Bitcoin, cause your money is safe there.
2464  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What's been your greatest challenge on BTT ? on: June 19, 2022, 10:25:06 PM
My greatest challenge on Bitcointalk is that the more I read about Bitcoin-related topics the more I become aware of my lack of knowledge. It seems as if there's always a new secret door once you cracked open the code for the previous one. Honestly, sometimes it is confusing because Bitcoin is so multifaceted and different boards cater for these discussions and knowledge-giving that one doesn't know which to focus on and just how long. 
Bitcointalk is really a life saver of a forum as regards Bitcoin learning, i know there are external resources and sources to get information about Bitcoin, but in my opinion, i will select Bitcointalk ahead of any other Bitcoin learning platform out there, Bitcoin is really complex to understand just as you have said, and for me the little knowledge i have, i got from engaging in discissions here, and reading posts and topics of other users. I know I still lack so much knowledge, but i am not a total novice either, because i have read quite a lot about Bitcoin in this forum. I am actually not trying to learn everything all at once, cause i know i am not a tech guy, so i am taking things one step at a time, and i am enjoying it that way.
2465  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BTC is being too nice. Most people don't deserve the chance to buy it so cheap. on: June 19, 2022, 06:19:30 PM
However we cannot force people to buy, they are the ones which must decide to enter the market and if they choose to miss this chance then that is on them, the only thing we can do is to take advantage of it and then hold our coins for as long as we can, as this is the way in which we will obtain the most benefits out of our coins.
I second that, i have always believed that people are absolutely free to think whatsoever that want to about Bitcoin, that is their own opinion and it should be respected, we are Bitcoin believers cause we have prolly seen quite a lot of things that made us believe, we have also done out own research and made up out mind that Bitcoin is perfect, both as an investment and a currency, and that is why most of us use it, for those who do not have the desire to research and find out for themselves, then it is on them; and if they buy other assets they feel are better, then that is their choice.

One thing i have learnt not to do is to panic, over the years my confidence in Bitcoin has grown very large, and i have had no reason to regret that, or to stop accumulating when i see a great opportunity, and for those people that are like me, let us keep accumulating, that is our choice too.
2466  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: June 17, 2022, 07:53:28 PM
Lukaku really wants to leave Chelsea.  Lukaku has failed to shine since returning to the Blues and he is also involved in personal problems with Tuchel, even Lukaku has criticized Tuchel's scheme which resulted in him being fined by the club.  According to reports, Lukaku is ready to cut his salary to be able to play again with Inter Milan.  However, Inter will face obstacles in being able to return Lukaku to the Giuseppe Meazza.  Because, Chelsea did not want to loan Lukaku to Inter without any reciprocity.  But what is clear is that Lukaku's opportunity to leave is very large.
Right after that interview Lukaku made last season were he was full of praise for Inter and their supporters, and in contrast didn't have any kind words for Chelsea and their fans, the club he represents, that was when i knew it was more or less over between Chelsea and Lukaku, even though his second spell at the club was just at its infancy.

Inter are favorites to get him, and i think they will, Chelsea board and fans will definitely be fuming right now, cause they paid quite a lot of money to bring Lukaku in barely a year ago, and now they are surely going to run at a loss when they sell him this summer, i am pretty sure Chelsea will not accept a loan offer, they will want to do away with everything that has to do with Lukaku once and for all.

I have seen some news sources claiming that Tottenham are also among the teams interested in bringing Gareth Bale to the team. The Sun is among these sources too therefore it can be fake news.  Grin  I haven't heard anything from Tottenham side so far like they are seriously interested in him. In fact, they even seem like they don't want him in the squad once again. I understand them too because he is aging and it is doubtful if he can make a good contribution to the team again.
I think it can be fake news too, i don't see any reason why Spurs will go for Bale again, he already returned to the club on loan when Mou was manager, and even if he didn't do too poorly, he didn't get so much playing time, thus the club decided not to make the deal permanent and he returned to Real Madrid, Spurs have already signed a winger in Perisic, i can't see Bale going to the North London club.

To be fair to Bale, i do not think he would also want to go there, with Wales in the World Cup later this year, Bale who is their captain and a very vital part of their squad has to be fit, and to be fit he has to be playing constantly in the few months that remain before the WC starts, Spurs can't guarantee him that, i am thinking we will see Bale in a smaller club where he can play very often and get himself ready for the WC, cause the National team (Wales) seems like his only motivation right now.

Ten Hag may want to restore the performance of the existing players, because basically they are quality players only in the last few seasons they failed to present their best game. Overall, Manchester United have a pretty good squad, but for some reason they are playing below the quality they have. I think Ten Hag is aware of it all, hopefully under his leadership the players can show real quality.
Like i have always said, unlike some people i do not think United's problem was all about their manager, even when Ole was in charge, i kept saying firing Ole would not bring immediate improvement, Ragnick came in and things weren't any different, the players have a responsibility to their club and fans, and currently they are not living up to that responsibility. There is enough quality in that team, i mean, they have been spending so much money on players in the last couple of seasons, so these players have to charge themselves and represent their club with all of their ability.

Erik is good, and he has a huge job ahead of him, his major task now is to get the best out of his players so they play in the style he wants them to play, any player who doesn't fit in should go, it is as simple as that, no player is bigger than the club.
2469  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Reason why I won't be buying top altcoins in this bear market on: June 16, 2022, 03:19:25 PM
There are quite a lot of reasons why you prolly shouldn't buy altcoins, especially in this period, the thing is that most of these altcoins are pump and dump coins, and they are only pumped through hype, right now in the network there is no such hype and most altcoins are going to dump and never rise again, since they actually do not have any utility. Altcoins are short term projects, and buying coins in this period only means you have the intention of hodling it for a long time, thus you shouldn't really be buying altcoins now cause you shouldn't be hodling altcoins for the long period. If i had any altcoin at this time, i will sell them so i do not lose everything completely, and prolly buy when the market is okay again, and when there is hype. If there is a coin you should buy now that would be Bitcoin.

Let us be sincere with our sef if Peter Obi wan win this election he need to form alliance with Kwankwaso this man go bring Northern votes join the southern votes mostly from the youths, dem plenty for North, we no say them dey born pikins anyhow and underage children dey vote wella, but will Kwankwaso agree to be VP to Peter Obi? I don't think that man will summit himself...
If Kwankwaso agrees to be running mate to Peter Obi, then that is a big step en route to his victory in next year's polls, but the same question you asked is will Kwankwaso agree to this offer, to coalesce with Peter and be his Vice, i know it is a difficult situation for him, especially on the basis of his popularity in the north, but i can only hope this works out between them. About a week ago i think they both had a closed door meeting together, details of that meeting is yet to surface, and we do not know if there was progress in the discussion, or if they have scheduled the meeting for a later time, let's just keep our fingers crossed and await a good news soon.
2471  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2021/2022 on: June 15, 2022, 05:23:39 PM
And so I think next season we will not see the poor performance of the United team. They will be able to be strong and stable next season.
I think so too, of course another season like they had last one will be a disaster and could further damage the club's reputation as a top team in England, so i am pretty sure with Erik in charge now, things will improve, though people should please lower their expectations of the team next season, do not expect them to win the league, a top four finish would be good and might be an improvement, what will matter for United next season is their performances in games, they have to compete/play better than they did last season, it will signal an improvement, and can motivate the team for success in seasons ahead. They could maybe focus on winning either the FA Cup or Carabao cup, if they do that in addition to a top four finish, with fantastic performances in more games than not, then it could be considered a step in the right direction.
2472  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: June 15, 2022, 05:17:11 PM
Chelsea and Tottenham are both good choices and I wonder which one it is going to be.
It would depend a whole lot on the player and what he has in his mind, if he is looking at the biggest club between the two, then it is obviously Chelsea, if he is looking for CL football, then they are of course both in the CL, but tbh honest, Spurs have no chance of winning it, Chelsea do, as for his paycheck, both teams can afford to pay him well, but Chelsea will pay better. The one thing i am not sure Chelsea can offer him more is the amount of playing time that Spurs prolly will, i feel Richalison will start more games in Spurs that at Chelsea; It is up to the player to make up his mind. Personally i do not rate Richarlison so much/high, i think he is overhyped and is more or less an average player, but if all these teams are after him, then maybe they are seeing something that i am not.
2473  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC Sentiment Poll for June on: June 14, 2022, 10:58:51 PM
if we saw that price I am not afraid to say that I will use every single dollar to my name to buy all the bitcoin I could, and in fact I think I could go even farther than that as I could possible sell some assets that I have so I could raise even more money and buy bitcoin for such a low price.
Terrible idea, not that i am not a Bitcoin believer, i am one, through and through; but to invest more than you can afford to lose is a very bad choice to make, i for one will never do it and you shouldn't as well, irrespective of how low the price of Bitcoin falls. Invest with only an amount you can truly afford to use, or you can choose a strategy like DCA to buy at different periods/intervals. Even if Bitcoin goes as low as 3k dollars, do not invest more than you can afford to lose mate.

What can we say, other than good luck and that we wish you success in your merit source application, the final decision is Theymos' to make, and only him can 'validate' our good lucks sent your way. You will have to be patient, Theymos takes quite a lot of time to make up his mind whether to add new merit sources, but then you are now in the pipeline of pending applications, so hopefully someday it could be granted. Good luck mate.
2475  Economy / Reputation / Re: (AndySt) The next abuser of stake campaign? on: June 14, 2022, 06:41:38 PM
I have already mentioned that some of rules stimulate forum spamming
AndySt seems to have gladly accepted that rule
In my opinion, i think we have to leave the campaign out of it all, it is the misdemeanor of the user, the campaign is just running their business in the best way they can by including some bonuses for more posts, they have not implored their parricipants to spam, and i am pretty sure there are participants on the campaign who post as much as they can without doing something that this very user was caught doing. Chipmixer pays for up to 50 posts per week, but it does not bring any spam whatsoever to the forum. People are responsible for their actions and not the campaign they are on.

Having said that, the last case that was similar to this one was handled shrewdly by Carollzinha who is the manager of the campaign, which goes to show that they do not tolerate spam or behaviours such as this.

I do no even think Bernado Silva is going to leave City, if he actually should have left it would have been last summer, he was heavily linked with a move away from City then, but Pep managed to convince him to stay at the Etihad, and it was a good decision he made cause he had a wonderful last season with tons of playing time, and another EPL title to put the icing on the cake.

I am pretty sure Bernado is in Pep's plans for next season, and at the moment i can't see a single reason as to why he will decide to leave City for Barcelona. The thing with City is that the kind of football they play and the trophies they win makes it difficult for them to lose key players, you just have to be happy as a City player, except of course if you are not getting playing time, and Bernado Silva is getting enough of it.

More and more drama about Mane and Liverpool like what happened with Mbappe now lol.
They always reject the proposals given by Bayern now and do not rule out Liverpool are still looking for opportunities to take the slightest opportunity to keep this player like him and they must follow PSG's way if they really want to keep Mane at Anfield and make a bigger contract so Mane is interested
Liverpool can decide to keep Mane in the club by trying to offer him a better contract in terms of salary and all, but one thing i know is that they aren't rejecting Bayern's offers for no reason or because they want to block the transfer, the offer Bayern is bringing to the table is well below the worth of the player in question, not to talk of some of the embarrassing add-ons they have included in it, there is no way Liverpool were going to accept that, and i am pretty sure Bayern very well know that.

If Bayern are serious about signing Mane, they better make a much more sensible offer, i think they are doing this on purpose cause the player has already decided to leave Liverpool, and is willing to join them, so they feel the odds of getting him is in their favor, but really Bayern should add some money to their initial offer and get this transfer over the line before another team steals Mane from under their noses'.

Chelsea losing Rudiger and Christensen is a big void that needs to be filled immediately with just Saar and Thiago Silva as options in central bank and Barcelona acquiring the services of Alonso they need more options defensively. That should be focused on regrouping their backline for the next campaign.
Yes, Chelsea actually have to sign a new center backs for next season, they seem short already in that position with the departure of Rudiger and Christensen, i am yet to see any rumors of any central defender being targeted by Chelsea or linked to the club, maybe Tuchel and his scouting partners are yet to identify a defender of their choice, but it is much better they get on with their summer business early, other title contenders are already stepping things up, and acquiring the players they need in the positions they feel they are lacking. If Chelsea must compete with City and Liverpool next season, then they must make good signings this summer, or else it is going to be a two horse race again.

Don't believe of those so called expert predictions since there's no guarantee their words will come true...
Don't even believe there are "experts", when one believes in the concept of expertise in the network, that is when they can even consider following whatever advice their "experts" gives to them; but if you do not believe in that concept, and you understand that every resource is available for you to do your research into the history of Bitcoin, and see the pattern for yourself, then you will most likely make the correct decision more often than not. I am pretty sure users who believe in Bitcoin are not worried by the dump at all. Just invest what you can afford to lose and remember Bitcoin is a long term investment as you hodl.
