Chelsea players advises Antonio Conte on possible replacement for Thibaut Courtois


Thibaut Courtois, following an uncharacteristically shaky season last term, has re-established his reputation as one of the world’s very best goalkeepers over the past five months.

Belgium’s No. 1 has been outstanding for Chelsea this season, which makes the recent reports regarding his future extremely concerning for everyone associated with the Blues.

It’s been reported that Courtois, whose current contract at Stamford Bridge expires in 2018, is keen to move back to Spain to be with his partner and child who are based in Madrid.

Los Blancos were, of course, involved in a similar situation with Manchester United’s David de Gea two years ago.

Madrid struck a deal with United to sign De Gea, who wanted to return to Spain, but the deal collapsed after a crucial deadline was missed at the eleventh hour.

De Gea ended up signing a new long-term deal with the Red Devils and so Madrid, now under the management of Zinedine Zidane, have turned their attention to Courtois instead.

Losing the Belgian would obviously be a huge blow for Chelsea, but the Premier League club’s senior players have made an interesting suggestion to Antonio Conte just in case the worst happens.

According to The Sun, Conte has been advised to snap up Joe Hart from Manchester City in the event that Courtois departs the Bridge for the Bernabeu.

Hart, who was unceremoniously dumped by Pep Guardiola in favour of the error-prone Claudio Bravo in the summer, has been plying his trade with Torino since August after joining the Serie A outfit on loan.

Despite Bravo’s failure to convince, Guardiola isn’t expected to bring Hart back into the fold next season. The Catalan coach isn’t convinced by the England international’s ability with his feet.

But the 29-year-old, who won the Premier League with City in 2012 and 2014, might be more of Conte’s cup of tea.

Would Hart be keen on a move to Chelsea? That’s currently unclear, although the opportunity to become the first-choice keeper at one of the country’s biggest clubs will surely appeal to him.

Canadian high school basketball star is 29-year-old man, authorities say

Image
Canadian authorities said Wednesday that a budding high school basketball star is actually a 29-year-old refugee from South Sudan. The Canadian Border Services Agency said that Jonathan Nicola was arrested earlier this week for contravening the country's Immigration Refugee Protection Act. The agency said Nicola "misrepresented material facts" on his application for a study permit to Canada, submitting an application with a date of birth of Nov. 25, 1998 — which would make him 17. The agency says when Nicola recently applied for a U.S. visitor visa, a fingerprint match determined he was an individual who had made a previous application to the U.S. using a date of birth of Nov. 1, 1986 — making him 29. The Windsor Star reported that Nicola was remanded into custody after a hearing before the country's Immigration and Refugee Board Tuesday. Another hearing is scheduled for next week. Nicola faces deportation if convicted Nicola was attending Catholic Central High S

Massive Cobra Cake Made By Mom

When Kristi’s son was moving up from Cub Scouts to Boy Scouts, she decided that the special occasion called for a special treat. She wanted to create something memorable, something that her son’s whole troop could enjoy. And did she deliver! The name of her son’s troop was the Cobra Den, so she decided to bake and decorate a cake that looked like a cobra. And she did—but she went way above and beyond. She got up at 5:00 in the morning, baked five separate Bundt cakes, and arranged them to create a six-foot-long slithering snake cake. Cutting the Bundt cakes in half, she put the halves end to end to make them look like a curving snake body. She used multiple batches of Rice Krispie Treat mix (which she also made) to sculpt the hooded head and pointy tail. Here are 12 baking mistakes you didn’t know you were making. With the cake put together, it was time for the frosting, which she also made herself. But she didn’t spread the frosting on the cake—she covered the whole thing with ti
