Joao Felix has to leave Athletico Madrid, i think they are hampering his development as a very young and exciting player, the kid can play, but Diego Simeone's tactical approach to games is always to defend and try to score on the counter, that way his attacking players are rarely seen, or they are seen far less than the defenders, thus it is great for Joao Felix to leave the team and go somewhere he can play attacking and exciting football.

Having said that, Arsenal is a good destination for the Portuguese superstar, the gunners are known for a style of football that is easy on the eye, so it should suit Joao perfectly; and Arsenal are on top on the table, so that is more reasons why he might want to join them, i believe if Arsenal pull this deal off, then they might actually see off City and win their first EPL title in a very long time. I second your thoughts on Arsenal needing another defensive midfielder, i think if Partey gets injured for example without any reliable replacement, it could be a pivotal moment in the season that could swing the pendulum in City's favor.

Where are you getting that idea from, that this thread is producing low and off-topic discussions, mind you that it is impossible to eradicate spam completely, even the forum generally hasn't been able to achieve that, thus there would definitely be spam and off-topic discussions from time to time in this our local community, i don't see it as a problem if the quality and constructive discussions outweigh them.

Having said that, this thread has grown tremendously in the past two years, what are your reasons for claiming it hasn't been progressing? Mind you that you can't compel someone to post here, if a user has decided to stop posting here for any reason whatsoever, then it is what it is, but do not undermine those who regularly make posts here by saying: "those who are good in Bitcoin are now quiet", there are quite a lot of active users here who are good in Bitcoin discussions and can help out in that area if the need arises. No user here can ban discussions on any particular subject, i guess the suggestion was only made for the monthly award stuff or so.

You don't just consider yourself to be a MS and then you get it, there's a procedure through applying for the position and being a reputable user, though there are some MS's that were personally approached by theymos himself for the position. Thus even if you merit good posts often, it doesn't mean you automatically get the voluntary work, you still have to apply, and since there are quite a lot of MS applicants waiting to be selected, i think it somewhat discourages users from going through the stress of collecting ten undermerited posts in order to apply to be a MS.

Harry Kane is already nearly 30 years old, he only basically has a few years left at the peak of his career and if he decides to spend it in Spurs, then i'm afraid he might end his career without winning a major trophy, and that would be a disappointment for a player of his quality and talent, he definitely has to move over the a bigger team that win trophies frequently.

Having said that, there have been quite a lot of rumors of Bayern Munich being interested in Kane, and it makes sense, they just recently lost their main striker Lewandowski, thus Kane is a good replacement; but the problem in this deal is going to be Spurs, they have a way of holding onto their players, either scaring suitors away with transfer fee or purposely dragging discussions until the other party gives it up, they did it to City two Summers ago when the Etihad club wanted to sign Kane, so i'd not be surprised if in the end Kane remains in Spurs next summer.

Decoin exchange is an unpopular one, tbh i haven't heard about it before this thread, i guess it is one of the smaller and riskier cryptocurrency exchanges out there, thus i wonder why people even use them and worse why they keep their money in there with the exchange, there are bigger exchanges out there with better liquidity and volume, what exactly is the advantage of using Decoin exchange, for those who had used it before their collapse?

Having said that, this is definitely the end of them, they must have closed up when they were able to amass as much funds as they wanted. Using centralized exchanges is bad enough, but it's worse when you use small and untrusted ones and leave your funds in their platform.

Of course i am definitely aware of that, PSG are a big club that have sufficient funds to allure world class players to their team, but likewise Manchester United, the Old Trafford club also work with a big budget and i am pretty sure if Marcus Rashford is to sign a contract extension with the club, his salary/wages would be increased significantly; mind you that Ronaldo who was their highest paid player has left the team, thus they are no longer paying any player as high as they were paying the Portuguese superstar, what the club might prolly do is offer Rashford a contract as big as that, make him the highest paid player with a definite promise of regular playing time (which he can't get in Paris), all of these should definitely convince him to turn PSG down and remain in Old Trafford.

Marcus Rashford leaving Manchester United for PSG seems very much unlikely, Marcus has had to deal with being a fringe player for quite some seasons now, i for one even thought he was definitely leaving Old Trafford last summer in search of regular playing time, but he stayed, i presume that decision was made after discussions with the new boss Erik Ten Hag, of which i am sure he assured him that he is a very important part of his plan, and thus far he was correct, we have seen a different Rashford this season and it can only get better. I expect him to sign a contract extension with Manchester United, more so now that Ronaldo is out of the club, more responsibilty will fall on his shoulder and he should do well to be their star man. There is no way he can leave all of that for an uncertain future in Paris, PSG have Messi, Neymar and Mbappe, Rashford will only be a makeshift player, and i am pretty sure he doesn't want that anymore.

The idea of merits is technically to reduce garbage posting through encouraging users to put thought, effort and quality into their posts, as those are the main ingredients to earn merits in this forum, a user that majority of his posts imbibe these ingredients will earn many merits, maybe pretty fast, or at a normal pace, but what's most important is that merits will definitely be earned.

Having said that, there is thus nothing wrong with a user who ensures that they create posts that carry all of these ingredients so they can earn merits from the forum, mind you that if they put thought, effort and quality in their posts they wouldn't make redundant, repetitive or spam posts, meaning that they will definitely earn merits notwithstanding their intentions. The forum does not have a problem with what people have in mind before making a post, but rather the content of the post, thus even if you are a "merit hungry" user, as long as you have the necessary qualities you would rank up.

The OP could quite rightly be a millionaire in their local currency that prolly wouldn't mean much, and i might also agree with you that even despite the fact that the story looks flat out fake, there is a slim chance they aren't telling lies.

Having said that, what i definitely disagree on is that they could probably be into bounty hunting as a hobby, who loves dumping tweets on twitter or making multiple posts on FB, TG and other socia media handles, coupled with bounty reports right after it all. The forum is for Bitcoin, crypto and other whatnot discussions, thus bounty campaigns is no way to engage in the forum, interacting and contributing to quality discussions is the way to do it, and you can then earn through signature campaigns whilsts doing thus.

When people talk of POS services running into issues, the question here isn't the denomination they would be able to pay to customers. PoS service is a business were customers make a transfer either through their ATM card (remember that the limit on PoS terminals is now 20k daily) or mobile banking (most Nigerians can never reach the daily limit on this very one ) in return for cash, thus if cash is scarce/unavailable, they (PoS services) wouldn't have sufficient funds to pay to their customers who would make transfers to them, thus reducing their daily income.

Having said that, Mind you that they themselves also have to withdraw the said cash they pay to customers from the bank, and now there is a 100k weekly limit at ATM stands, whilst over the counter banking allows 100k and 500k weekly for individuals and corporate organizations respectively, with 'outrageous' charges if you decide to go above those limits. It definitely is going to affect big PoS services because most of them pay amounts higher than these to their customers daily.

Of course he will be a definite starter, Chelsea do not have any striker that is better than him, notwithstanding his age. Quite a lot of people think Ronaldo is slowing down, but i don't think he is, definitely he can't be as sharp as he was 10 years ago, but he is still a productive footballer that is far better in his position than many players younger than he is. Aubameyang can't compare to him in anyway, and Tuchel who was the main reason Aubameyang came to Chelsea is now gone, so tbh he looks lost already and that could be the reason for his poor start to life at Stamford Bridge, if i am to help Chelsea make decisions on who to sign, i will definitely get Ronaldo for one season at least, with a possibility of an extension, it is a smart deal imo.

If Barcelona were the elite and attractive club of some years ago, then i'd say Martinelli can't refuse them if they come for him, but they are not that anymore, they have fallen from the top, and are still struggling to get back there, so even if it is true that Barcelona want Martinelli, i don't believe that he will leave Arsenal to go there.

Having said that, i don't even believe the news to be true, Barcelona have financial problems and they have to be careful how they make signings from now on, especially with the amount they spent on players during the last summer transfer window. Martinelli is having the time of his life in Arsenal, thus i have to agree with you that he will extend his contract and remain in Arsenal.

It is going to be a really smart move for Chelsea should they sign Ronaldo, the only problem i can forsee now is just the bad image that the media have given Ronaldo, they have made him look like a petulant individual who is concerned only about himself and not his team, that can be the only worry that Chelsea would have in making this deal possible, they would consider that if these reports on Ronaldo are true, then he might bring disunity into their team.

Having said that, Ronaldo is a great goalscorer, and Chelsea need that atm, Aubameyang and Broja are not exceptional footballers, they are very good players, but they cannot produce the goals in numbers that Chelsea require to win trophies, Ronaldo on the ther hand can come into Chelsea and help them win trophies with his goals, i'm pretty sure Todd Boehly would be really considering this move.

The policy hasn't gone down well with quite a lot of people, although there are likewise a lot of people in support of it, just like any policy in the world, there would be supporters and opposers. Personally i wouldn't change my ideologies on this policy, i don't think it is a right step for our country just yet, except if other pressing issues would be tackled alongside it, but just this lone policy would not change anything and would make many individuals and businesses to suffer. Even if we talk of this policy curbing vote buying and terrorism funding, let us not forget that the 'men' involved in these sort of heinous acts are powerful and influential men that would definitely circumvent these new policies, na people wey they carry bullion van enter their house you wan restrict to how much them fit hold in cash use am buy votes and do other heinous things, e no fit work na. Anyway make the CBN governor go explain to them, so we go know if this policy go stand or not.

It is going to be a great match of course, but with quite a lot of pressure, especially for PSG who can't afford to be eliminated in the RO16 for the second season running, they will also have it at the back of their minds that after last season's elimination, their fans really had a go at them, and some players were booed even in their own stadium, the dissatisfaction from the fans was so evident that it threatened to break up the team, with some players looking to leave, but good thing they stuck together and are now a much stronger team than they were last season. Having said that, it is one of those games that is unpredictable, but if i am to just randomly pick a winner, then i'd say PSG would go through, they look to me like a much stronger force than Bayern Munich this season, and the front three of Messi, Neymar and Mbappe might prove too strong for Bayern Munich.

That was why Ronaldo called out Rooney and Gary Neville in his recent interview with Piers Morgan, the criticism of the Portuguese superstar is sometimes over the top and unncessary, players make mistakes and do things wrongly sometimes, it is normal, but the moment Ronaldo puts a foot wrong anywhere, the media all rise up wanting to tarnish his image and demoralize him, i think enough is enough of all that, right now i do not even believe most of the reports that's made about him, because i consider many of them to be false.

Having said that, the latest news about Ronaldo is that he wanted to leave Portugal's camp when he discovered he was starting from the bench against Switzerland, but the Portuguese FA have come for the media outlet that covered that news, stating that every bit of it is false, and i believe them, it isn't possible that Ronaldo would threaten to boycott the WC just because he started one game from the bench, this is the same way they have been spreading transfer rumors about him, he hasn't made any decision yet, and we'd find out Ronaldo's next club after the WC, and not before it ends.

Signature campaigns quite rightly have their merit requirements for prospective participants, but there are other ways to get it like making quality and constructive posts, and contributing to the forum generally; but as far as this thread goes, it is for users who are very close to their next rank, but going by your merit count now, you aren't any close to your next rank, thus this thread isn't for you.
You do not have to send smerits to forum users to be able to earn merits from other users, you should know about that being a user here since 2014. Users would merit you if they see you have good posts, or that you put effort into creating your posts.

You do not have to beg for merits, begging for merits is not allowed on the forum and it is considered irksome by some users who might put you on their ignore list for it. You post mainly in the local section, thus only people from that part of the world would be able to read and understand your posts to know if it is a quality and constructive one deserving of merits. You already got 8 merits from your local section, no need then to be in a hurry as sooner rather than later you'd prolly get what's left of it to take you to the next rank.

I don talk am before, and i go talk am again, i no they in support of the new policy, i they only correct some misconceptions wey some users for here they post about am. You have to understand that it is what it is, and no seminar is required for something like this, many old people sabi when them receive alert, and many of them sabi confirm am by themselves, you no go expect government to roll out new policy such as this one wey they pretty straightforward, come organize seminar for am join, if na matter wey require seminar we go know.

Having said that, businesses wey they very small, like women wey they sell pepper for example, nothing go change for their side at all, because people go still carry cash they buy from them as the goods they sell are not all that expensive. But once you they run business wey customers go gats buy goods worth so much, then you have to improvise and start accepting transfers, as well as make provisions for your own personal PoS payment machine; if you are too old you go carry younger person join body, wey go follow you they for shop, e they hard sev to see old woman wey no fit understand how to confirm transactions say she they for shop alone, she go get person wey go they assist am, na normal thing.

There is only limit on withdrawal, not on mobile banking transfer or direct payment through a PoS machine, so like i said for my earlier post on this matter, wetin go happen now be say, with this development most businesses (both large, medium and small scale) would start accepting payments through online transfers and would also ensure they have their own personal PoS machines for direct payment, thus even if you no get cash you go still buy wetin you wan buy. You go just use the little cash you are afforded to buy things from small traders (for example, things like tomato and pepper), then when you want to make other more expensive purchases, you basically make a transfer to them, or pay them through their personal payment PoS. This policy no go affect in this way as you talk am.

Having said that, e no mean say i am in support of this new policy as i don already talk put for the matter, you fit check am for here, na there i don explain how this policy go affect Nigerians and how e no really get too much advantage if you check am critically.
