If you like bookmark but know this for sure i prefer Conte to Pep.

I wish Conte could join a team that will offer him the luxury enjoyed by Fraudiola.

If Psg snap him up, then I can tell you that within 4 seasons he would win the Ucl that Fraudiola hasn't, in the last 12yrs.

Selling one or all of Werner, Ziyech and Pulisic could see Chelsea consider a move for Raheem Sterling, who has one year remaining on his Manchester City contract and is yet to decide on his future.

Why will sterling leave a team like City to come to your dead and trophyless team without Russian Money .

Kimbeast:
Russia reported a budget deficit in April, VAT collection is down TWO THIRDS, 63% of their budget income was from oil and gas exports vs 28% in 2020 while military expenses have more than doubled.

If anyone thinks that the current exchange rate is real then he definitely is not sane.

Oga let the naive keep deluding themselves.

If CBN can tell us dollar is N400, then anyone can fool themselves.

When all Russian companies are forced to convert their foreign exchange earnings to Rubles, you get 30% tax for converting any currency to Rubles, you can't sell your shares in order not to convert Rubles to foreign exchange. It will be epic when these controls are lifted and Russia returns to normality. We go dey here. A big company that needs dollars to import will go to their CBN for the subsidised rate while the small company will go to black market for the real rate. Roundtripping subsidised by their CBN, bleeding money and creating inefficiencies. I'm not seeing much difference from Nigeria at this point. Dangote gets what he needs to trade internationally while everyone else go to Aboki.

Feel for a mid-size Russian company earning foreign exchange which is 30% less than it was when converted to Ruble. They then need to pay 30% tax to convert to Ruble, then need to pay their workers in Ruble which is 30% more expensive.

Dem go drink oil. As you have rightly pointed out, their revenues is showing signs of converting to a mono-economy. From 28% oil Revenues to 68%.

None of these are new economic tools, they have been tried and tested and failed. We go dey here. After all Soviet Union maintained peg and Abacha maintained peg through his whole tenure. I hope Havertz will be here for the reckoning. An economy the size of Portugal going to trade war with the West. Only a child will think it ends well.

Transfer Summary:

+ An eight-man list of defenders as been made and Chelsea will sign at least 2 defenders

+ Kounde is expected to move to Stamford Bridge.

+ Gvardiol - near the top of their list - would help make up for the loss of Real Madrid-bound Antonio Rudiger.

+ Pau Torres and Jose Gimenez are alternative targets for Gvardiol.

+ Timo Werner and Hakim Ziyech would be open to moves. Christian Pulisic could also consider his future if Chelsea receive a bid for him.

+ Chelsea consider a move for Raheem Sterling if one of those/or all those attackers leave.

+ Chelsea have fallen behind Real Madrid and Liverpool in the race to sign Monaco midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni.

+ Romelu Lukaku and his representatives will speak to Tuchel and Chelsea’s new owners about the Belgian’s future.

+ Marcos Alonso to leave if the club’s valuation of the left-back is matched.

Havertz10:
American inflation skewing the metrics, this is the milkshake theory at play, those metrics change their dynamics, if we replace the dollar with another currency with intrinsic demand values

Then large countries will pay the price, that’s the global inflation that Africa and the global south have been subsidizing for decades, I told you that Russia will change the game, you called it nothing, they are competent people in charge there not buffoons, if Nigeria can pivot to china and Russia, the benefits are endless

Russia will use their commodities based valuation to trigger inflations and unrest in the west, the drama has only just began

How is America inflating the GDP of the world? You have come again. Is America responsible for Egypt or South Africa GDP increasing? GDP increases as production, farming etc becomes efficient and population expands, creating value that didn't exist before. A commodity we dig from the ground like gold can never account for the wealth of the world that has been created in the last 150 years by industrialisation. Save neanderthal ideas for the Roman empire. Gold itself has little utility except the value that we humans give it as a store of value. It is no different from cowries that we held as a store of value before. There are many other metals more useful in production processes, so we humans are the ones that gave it its value, and we can also take its value away like we did to cowries.

On your second point, na democracy make you believe the West is anywhere close to suffering. It is normal in any democracy for any increase in inflation to become the talking point. All opposition need is to grab votes from the 10% poorest of population for whom £100 increase across the month makes a difference. Of course you won't hear of this in Russia whose inflation is more than double the West but don't have an opposition nor any independent media to make it into an issue. It doesn't mean anybody in the West is suffering or in danger. Imagine a nigga with a weekly shopping bill of £100, now paying £110, maybe paying an extra £20 per week for fuel and another £30 for electricity. Same nigga saving maybe £1k to £5k a month, do you think he is in danger?

Like I told you and larride, who is in danger is the third world. Make una go beg Putin. Why should I care that my 30 pence bag of pasta is now 40 pence, or my 40 pence bread is now 45 pence? You done confirm am below who is in danger. BTW 90% of Russia and Ukraines wheat export goes to the Middle-East. Let's say they can't get their supply, they will then go to India or US and outbid Africa for the wheat they need. Las las na the poor go suffer while shouting "Up Russia".

Havertz10:
no export indeed, Nigeria buys wheat from Russia, turkey buys wheat from Russia, thanks to Nigeria position as being ass lickers of the west, you wouldn’t get discounts for wheat, fertilizer and other essential commodities, keep dreaming that the ruble isn’t valuable, that exchange rate means that wheat imports into Nigeria will become very expensive soon and you will pay more for bread

Where’s Andrewbaba

Ibime you disappoint me, everything is built on demand and supply

If you have more demand, than supply then prices become expensive, and if you have more supply and less demand prices will drop

Its very simple

Russia simply said that if you want our products, pay for it in our currency, because they have products that are valuable to the world, there was significant demand on their currency causing an appreciation, how is that fake or propped up, I have explained this thing multiple times, Russian are very isolated, they only like expensive western things, basic commodities are locally made, making them largely self sufficient

The common notion among most based people is that Russians thought about all these things before the invasion and adequately prepared for it, cause usually when countries are attacked like this with sanctions, their currencies tank and their economy collapse, only difference is that compared to most countries, Russian commodities are the life blood of the world and because they own those commodities demand for their currency should equally reflect that


If anything has been propped up, it’s western currencies and economy, for anyone interested in real manipulations, research the plaza accord
22 September 1985

The world should return to a value based system, this debt based system is rubbish and shouldn’t see the light of another day

Oga stop your propaganda. Like I told you Russian companies were already mandated to convert 80% of their earnings to Ruble.

If I was to pay Gazprom £1k before, they would still have to convert £800 to Rubles. Now they have to convert £1k to Rubles.

They will still need to reconvert a small percentage of that £1k back into pounds to oil their operations abroad so it's almost a fait accompli with minimal effect.

The material effect on Ruble growth is simply a 30% tax on currency conversion, Central Bank foreign exchange propping up ruble, banning foreign entities from converting ruble, forcing all Russian companies to convert to Ruble, banning selling of Russian shares (which are sold into dollars), lack of importer demand for dollars due to sanctions on importing, and restriction of Ruble trading virtually everywhere outside the MOEX. It's just a propaganda piece at this point which will unravel itself when capital controls are relaxed.

No, all because they chose to support a foreign invasion that the West can stomach but they can't. Putin is the one blockading Ukraine wheat shipments, while America is the one trying to get it to the market. I told larride Nigeria will be the one to suffer but he insisted we will starve here.

You make me laugh, the same you that said that Russian economy is less than apple, is the same one that is saying that 80% of the earnings by Russia companies is strong enough to pull down the dollar

Yet another reason why gdp is bullshit, if you factor the current rate of exchange to the dollar, it’s would mean that Russian gdp has significantly grown

I can see that even when it’s clear, you choose to distort the truth in the name of rebuttal

The demand for ruble is real and would have significant consequences for everybody that is against Russia

Like this guy said to you weeks ago, commodities matter and holders of it will always have the upper hand no matter how you spin it

SeaTrade:
People can hold rubles cos they have a commodity to back it up with great demand,which is oil and gas and they produce huge quantities so what are you talking about?
So long as Russia can guarantee trade devoid of sentiments and official equivalent pricing,people will hold ruble

KDB that was a beast for Wolfsburg before city signed him and was still beast before pep came. Una too dey lie to cover pep. He is a cheque book manager. 12 years no ucl after spending billions and managing formidable teams. He is overrated and football world know this reasons his success is either tie to messi/barca, weak league(Bayern) or money(city).

How is Werner the beast from leipzig doing so far?

west can’t stomach shit, they are battling inflation, the government used the military to import baby food, it’s getting really bad, stomach it fire, Americans are wailing everyday on twitter about gas and this guy is talking about stomach

Remember when I told you that the inflation that the west has been exporting to poor countries is returning back to their shores because of demand equilibrium, India recently banned export of wheat, most countries will take similar steps to protect their citizens, it’s no longer a matter of what currency you hold but what you can offer

Value based system

Dollar isn't being pulled down. Dollar is gaining in strength and should be the third best performing currency in the world this year. Last year I often exchange £1 for 1.40, now I exchange for $1.23, and I exchange almost every month. Which tells you dollar is still the choice of capital flight. Ruble is the one being artificially propped up, not by free choice of capital flight, but by forced coercion of Russian companies, a form of self cannibalisation. So once again, dollar is only strengthened by conflict and represents the peoples will. Below is dollar to Yen.

Nigeria can achieve a similar effect as Russia by forcing MTN, Etisalat, Dangote, Shell etc to convert everything to Naira. Either Emefiele is stupid or he is wise.

hensben:
Pep is not better than Conte na money and team size help pep CV. It’s just like saying Davido is better than Kizz Daniel in singing because the former has more awards. See how Conte made top 4 easily with cheap signings. Pep is a cheque book manager, whereas Conte, Klopp, Ancelotti and Mou are proper managers.
What make pep a cheque book manager?
-He run from task jobs
- He run when the going get tough and the board not willing to spend further(Bayern Munich)
- He hides his flaws both in signings and vulnerable defensive tactics on spending at will(Man city).
There is a reason his CV is not really respected by football lovers around the world. Haven't won ucl for 12 years now after managing luxury and formidable teams. His Bayern days really exposed him. The team won ucl before and after he left. He is Enrique level with huge budget and great teams.

so Nigerians should starve and experience discomfort because of American ego


Do you know how many revolutions food crises have triggered in the history of the world? It’s wheat that led to the Arab spring although American manipulation was very present but people aren’t very accommodating to authorities when they are starving, you can research on the number of revolutions that food crises have triggered and see the fire that you are playing with

dollar is actually performing better than any currency right now.

I am also with havertz10 on this one and i don't think Russia is going to be significantly affected as expected. Europe is still buying Russia oil and they are making money, except they find a way to cut Russia off totally, then they are just indirectly funding the war which doesn't make sense imo

Don't forget US companies are also buying ruble's future. I think the greediness of western companies is going to make this go on and on

Capaldi:

[Florian Plettenberg] "News #Mané: He can really imagine to join #FCBayern this summer! There is movement in talks with the player and his management. Next 3-4 weeks are decisive. Nagelsmann & Brazzo want him. Transfer fee probably less than €50m. @SkySportDE #TransferUpdate"

The baby food is because their largest manufacturer shut down their production facility after 3 babies dies from bacterial poisoning. But of course anything is convenient for Russian propaganda. Even Covid supply chain effects is ascribed to Russia. Like how someone said Russia is affecting price of chicken wings, not the fact that there has been a shortage of Chicken wings since last year due to the fact it has more processing need and production staff have been taken out the production line due to Omicron. I was watching Katt Williams Netflix special at the weekend and he was joking that how is there a surplus of chicken thighs but a shortage of Chicken wings. Abi don't they come from the same chicken, or do some chickens grow 4 wings and two thighs. Maybe Russia seized the chickens, sent the thighs to America and withheld the wings.

Conte haven’t had the privilege to manage formidable and luxury squad. Mou won with underdog porto and an aged inter Milan. Pep have been managing formidable teams with excess spending for 12 years now and yet to win ucl without messi.

The good thing about speculators is they speed up price discovery. So the same way they flattened Ruble in one day (which was overexagerated) is the same way they will flatten it again in quick time if capital controls are lifted at once. Russia will have to lift them slowly one-by-one over a long period. You will be surprised if Ruble start to behave like something Do Kwon put together if kasala bust.

Conte will do what ? Conte that ran away from Inter millan because of limited funds and lukaku sale ?

Same conte that have failed to pass the ucl group stage severally with a better inter squad but you think he will win the champions league in pep position

Same conte that had the chance to qualify for the round of 16 but still failed to beat a Barca 2nd team while fielding his best 11 ,and you get mouth Dey talk ?

which is exactly my point. someone will always be there to buy the Ruble dip as long as they have buyer for their oil. People are still trading Ruble OTC religious in Europe, but of course it different exchange rate ( i think 110 to usd). But they are trading nevertheless ( i would expect it to be totally banned )

Pep will not even dare to go to a team like inter Milan in the first place because his ass will be exposed like Enrique with Roma. Conte won seria A from Juve with aged inter Milan squad and wanted the board to strengthen the squad but they refused, they even went ahead to sell Lukaku. Pep is not better than Conte, don’t ever say that again or you want to tell me Davido is better than kizz daniel in singing because he has excess money to promote his songs and labels which gave him some prestigious awards. With Pep’s unlimited budget and formidable squad he hasn’t won ucl for 12 years now. Bayern won ucl before and after he left so the squad was not the problem but pep’s limited tactics which is failure on his part.

hensben:

You are really a clown for bringing limited spending here ,look at the squad he could not use to get past the group stage of the champions league ,A 70 million lukaku is there and a Lautaro Martínez ,but he could not win to qualify ahead of Dortmund

The other squad below he could not use it to qualify ahead of Borussia Mönchengladbach and shaktar and here you are capping nonsense ,he even came last in the group
