    Lampard was extensively ascribed to handing Chelsea best young talent an opportunity last season ,with players such as Tammy Abraham and Mason Mount blooming after being given regular minutes at Stamford Bridge , Although it’s still seen if the club’s academy youngsters continue that development amid increase competition for a first team place.

    According to Frank Lampard, he stated he never wanted that “I love the nurturing last year but I never wanted us to become an academy club”and this was said to sky sports. “That story is great for five minutes and those debuts when you had them out are really nice. But then it moves very quickly to those asking if you can win games now .

    “When you see the injection of players and what they can bring – they have all brought personality with them already – that should bring a level of competition that lifts the squad to new levels.

    “Last year we spoke a lot about the transfer ban, and it was very relevant. To come fourth last year was a big achievement and it certainly felt that way with the competition around us. That’s done now, and now we are looking at whether we can get better, whether we can improve as a club?

    “I’m a Chelsea fan and any fan should get excited about the type of players we have brought in. It’s something we had a long look at last year. The ban allowed us to look at areas we wanted to improve, the profile, type and age of player we wanted to improve us in the long term.

    “It feels good because it has been work, it’s what you set out to do. Recruitment is a huge part of trying to be a club that is successful at the top of the Premier League.

  • 8 Female Body Signs that indicate She likes You

    8 Female Body Signs that indicate She likes You

    If a female is attracted to you then she will often be extremely subtle. However, some women can be more flirtatious than others and these types of women may intentionally try to convey more signs that she is interested in compared to others. Listed below are 12 clear signs that a girl is interested in you. Some women might show more signs than others, but the more signs you see the more likely it is that she wants you to ask her out!

    1. Getting close and personal – Women don’t want to get close and personal with people they don’t like. If it seems that she wants to get into your personal space then it’s a clear sign that she likes you. Take note of whether she makes an effort to sit or stand by you and if she finds little excuses to engage you in conversation so she can get close. If you notice that, it’s a very positive sign.

    2. Makes eye contact – If she makes constant eye contact with you then it’s a clear sign she is interested. Also, take note of whether she hides or flaunts the fact that she’s watching you. If she is willing to let you know she’s watching you, then you’ve just hit a home run.

    3. Smiles more – Smiling is one of the top indicators you can use when trying to determine if a particular girl likes you or not. If she smiles then it means that she enjoys your company and doesn’t mind having you around. Be sure and take note of how she reacts to others. If she smiles just as widely and often, then you may want to look for other clues of interest instead. However, if she’s giving you more smiles then everyone else, you have it in the bag.

    4. Focuses on you – It’s only polite that was focus on the other person when having a conversation and although this is mostly true, not many people really do pay attention. You’ve probably dealt with rude conversationalists at least once in your life and they can usually be spotted around the room checking their cell phones, watches and even looking straight down at the floor during a chat. You might even notice this from a female if she has no interest in you. However, if she’s fixated on what you’re saying then you can be sure she’s interested.

    5. Arms by her side – As long as the girl you’re talking to has her arms by her side, you have a way in. This sign indicates openness and willingness to participate at the moment. If she crosses her arms then it’s an indication that she is protecting herself and you likely have no chance.

    6. Flips her hair – When a woman is playing with her hair it’s a sign of flirting that she most likely doesn’t even know she is doing. Look for signs that include running her fingers through her hair, twirling a lock around her finger, flipping her hair back..etc. She’s trying to show off her neck and before you blast it, remember that the neck is a very sensual and sensitive part of a woman’s body.

    7. Dilated pupils – Just like a child’s eyes will widen when faced with a huge jar of candy, a woman’s eyes will do the same when faced with a towering piece of man-candy. Dilated pupils are something she will not be able to control. So, if you notice it then take it as a sign that she is unconsciously exhibiting interest and excitement in you.

    8. Upturned palms – Look for her to have open upturned palms. This is another clear sign of openness and willingness to engage you further whereas clenched fists are an obvious sign to back off.

    Now that you know eight extremely common body language signs that a woman will show when interested in you, you mustn’t take them the wrong way. Always pay attention to the girl you’re into and see how she reacts with others. If she treats you like any other friend then you should be looking for her to send you additional signals for confirmation. The more signs you can see a girl giving you, the more likely it is that she’s open to the idea of getting to know you better!

  • Six Reasons You Should NOT Remain Friends With Your Ex

    Six Reasons You Should NOT Remain Friends With Your Ex

    Everyone will have their own opinion on whether staying friends with an ex is a good idea or not. However, according to several scientific studies you should think twice before making that date with your ex. When you’ve been through a lot with someone and feelings are still there, it can be tempting for you to want to keep them in your life. But, many will find that staying friends with an ex-boyfriend or girlfriend is much easier said than done after a breakup. To help determine exactly why that is, we’ve compiled a list of six different reasons psychologists think you shouldn’t remain friends with someone once the romantic relationship has ended.

    Reasons You Should NOT Remain Friends With Your Ex

    1. You Can’t Suddenly Turn Off Feelings – According to the famous author Nina Atwood, people usually remain friends with their exes because they don’t want to end things harshly and face a life without a person who has meant so much to them. People assume that remaining friends with an ex will make it easier to soften the blow of the breakup, but that isn’t true. It’s only natural to not want to entirely lose such an important person in your life, but spending time with them after the break up will make it virtually impossible to erase the feelings you have for them. The moment you start feeling comfortable in each other’s company again, you will let your guard down and those romantic feelings may come back, bubbling under the surface once again.

    2. It Will Is Harder For You To Move On – Being around your ex all the time will make it harder for you to remove feelings of loss and regret. In other words, you will probably experience mixed feelings that will make the process of moving on much more difficult for you. After the breakup, people need time to heal and just reflect on the relationship, and that will be much more difficult if they’re in the company of their ex all the time. When a couple breaks up, neither person can see things clearly and both will usually need time to recuperate and better understand the things that happened. Having your ex in your life will only make things harder than they already are.

    3. Hanging Out As Friends Will Be Painful – No one wants to be watching from the first row as their ex finds a new partner and starts a new romantic relationship. But if you choose to remain friends with the person you were once romantic with, be prepared to deal with these kinds of situations which will always be awkward and painful to see. As much as we don’t want to admit it, it hurts to watch our previous partner move on and find new love. It really sucks to see them be in love with someone else, and whether you like to play it cool or not, it can hurt to see your ex doing better than you.

    4. There Isn’t An Upside To Being Friends – Unless you have kids or are otherwise bound to spend time together, there isn’t a good enough reason to be friends with your ex. After all, there really isn’t an upside to being close to someone you chose to end a relationship with. Even if you think it’s the mature thing to do after a breakup, the far better solution would be to cut ties with that person and just go your own separate ways. Remaining close to them would eventually bring unresolved issues back and you’d risk getting hurt over and over again.

    5. Your Ex Might Still Be In Love With You – When a couple ends their relationship, it’s not always a mutual decision. Most of the time, someone gets dumped in the relationship, and it’s usually the person that gets dumped who wants to get back together. That’s not always the case, but regardless, one might hope to reignite the fire of romance once again because they still have feelings for the other person. Let’s be honest, the chemistry between the two of you is there, even though it might be burned out at the moment. Going out and having a drink or two together will definitely mix things up, and it may leave the other person with a false sense of hope that you two might end up together again, which will never end well.

    6. It Will Prevent You From Finding New Relationships – After one relationship ends, you should let yourself have the necessary space to mend from the breakup and eventually get back out there in the dating world. Hanging out with your ex won’t do you much good, and it will definitely be weird for other potential partners. Imagine having to explain to your new partner, that you are spending a lot of time with your ex. They will probably think you’re still hung-up on them and that you’re not ready for something new. That’s a definite red flag and deal-breaker for many potential partners.

    As much as we hate to admit it, we would be fooling ourselves if we thought that being friends with an ex-boyfriend or girlfriend could actually work. If you’re currently going through a breakup then there are some great hacks you can try to get over your heartbreak, such as taking some extra time to relax and avoiding toxic people in your life. It can be hard to let go of someone you’ve spent lots of time with and grown close to. But, many psychologists believe cutting ties and moving on is the best thing you can do.

    GUTA replies Nigerian govt on trade harassment- president of GUTA, Dr. Joseph Obeng.

    The Ghana Union of Traders Association (GUTA) has said the Nigerian Union of Association Ghana (NUTAG) has over the months fed their government with lies pertaining engagements in retail businesses in Ghana.

    According to the President of the Association, Dr Joseph Obeng, Ghana has never targeted any ECOWAS citizen who deals in goods and services produced in a member state.

    It only enforces the laws to deal with people who operate illegally in the country, Dr Obeng stated.

    “No particular country is a target in the enforcement of the law. However, it should be noted that Nigerians form about 80% of those who engage in the illegal retail trade.”

    He explained that the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC) law is only to “discourage dumping of goods from countries outside the ECOWAS community, so as to boost local production and better the lot for the local manufacturer as well as grow and develop our local economy.”

    The Nigerian government has over the week said it can no longer tolerate the incessant harassment of its citizens in Ghana.
    This comes after several shops engaged in retail businesses without the necessary documents were closed down by the Trades Ministry’s Inter-Ministerial Task force in Accra, Kumasi and Koforidua.
    In Kumasi, over 90 shops suspected to be for Nigerians were closed down after the inspection by the Trades Task force. The Government of Ghana on the other hand has rejected the accusations made by Nigeria of intimidation and maltreatment of national in Ghana.
