Barcelona considers Coutinho as Neymar replacement Seyi Olaoluwa day ago News , Sport Neymar has had a spectacular Barcelona bust-up - leaving Liverpool fearing they will lose Philippe Coutinho. The Nou Camp superstar had a furious training ground showdown with new team-mate Nelson Semedo  , and then stormed out of training after the two confronted each other. Paris St Germain are closing in on a world record £200 million for Neymar with Barcelona chiefs increasingly convinced that he wants out - and believing now may be right to let him go. Coutinho is top of Barcelona’s wanted list if they lose his Brazil international teammate, and Liverpool have been desperately fighting interest from the Catalan giants, so far resisting all approaches. They have suggested an offer of £100m wouldn’t tempt them to sell a player who has just signed a new contract, but in Brazil it is claimed Coutinho is ready to make the move to Spain.

He said, “You are aware that Scotland is seeking to leave the United Kingdom? Are you remotely implying that every person from Scotland, who lives in England, should now return to Scotland? “Britain just left the EU. Are you now implying that every British citizen in the EU shoul

I wonder if former President GEJ could imagine that only one out of his ex-Ministers could steal such a stupendous amount under his administration without his knowledge. Wonders shall never end! In reference to the CNN report that the former Minister has made a refund of $90B already, how much is Dangote worth? As at today Dangote is worth $14.7B and the 67th in the world while Bill Gates was the 2nd with $ 79.2 on the Forbes list.

Dr Stephen Mak treats terminal ill cancer patients by an "un-orthodox" way and many patients recovered. Before he used solar energy to clear the illnesses of his patients, he believes on natural healing in the body against illnesses. See his article below. It is one of the strategies to heal cancer. As of late, my success rate in curing cancer is about 80%. Cancer patients shouldn't die. The cure for cancer is already found - *its in the way we eat fruits.* It is whether you believe it or not.
