Diego Costa completes £32m Chelsea move from Atlético Madrid

 
 
Chelsea have reached an agreement to sign Diego Costa from Atlético Madrid. The Spain international had long been linked with a move to Stamford Bridge and now the Blues have confirmed they have met the buy-out clause for the 25-year-old striker, understood to be £32m.
“Chelsea Football Club can confirm an agreement has been reached with Atlético Madrid for the transfer of Diego Costa, with Chelsea meeting the buy-out clause for the Spanish international,” read a statement on the club’s official website.
Brazil-born Costa scored 35 goals for Atlético last season as they won the Spanish title and reached the Champions League final, where they lost in extra time to Real Madrid.
The 25-year-old emerged as the leading summer transfer target for José Mourinho, who was determined to add firepower to a Chelsea squad that came up just short behind Manchester City and Liverpool in the Premier League and were knocked out of Europe in the semi-finals by Atlético.
Ashley Cole has left Chelsea this summer at the end of the defender’s contract, along withthe midfielder Frank Lampard. However, the former Arsenal captain Cesc Fábregas was signed from Barcelona on 12 June.

Drake Impressed and Approaches P-square for Collaboration.

The legendary young money superstar, Aubrey Graham popularly known as "DRAKE" finds the Nigerian born "Mary slessor slaved" twin rock stars "P-square" quite worth a shot for a collabo.

This was as a result of their highly successful 7 city U.S tour. According to Peter, no word can describe the experience he had in the hands of the Americans.This was what Peter Okoye had to say“I am yet to find the right words to describe the success of the tour and the experience I had in
the hands of the American girls who wanted To Molest me. But I am happy that the show was highly successful which prompted American star singer, Drake to approach us for a collabo,” Peter
says.

They are representing us well I'll say.

Elton John Strongly Believing Jesus Would be In Support Of Gay Marriage


Honestly I can't categorically place this "Gay/homosexual/fag" act of getting married to the same sex but,"There is God". The popular music artist, "Elton John" known with the popular R&B song (SACRIFICE)said he believes Jesus would be fine with gay marriage if he were alive today. The veteran singer, who plans to marry his civil partner David Furnish next year in a “very quiet” ceremony, told Sky News that in his view, Jesus would accept it because he was “all about love and compassion”.
He claimed that rules preventing gay priests from marrying and requiring Catholic priests to be celibate were “old and stupid”.
He told sky news in these words;
“If Jesus was alive today, I cannot see him, as the Christian person that he was and the great person that he was, saying this could not happen, ”
“He was all about love and compassion and forgiveness and trying to bring people together and that is what the church should be about.”
He praised Pope Francis for making the Catholic Church more about “inclusiveness”, saying that this “has to be encouraged by the Church of England as well”.
He described the pontiff as a “wonderful” man whose tolerance was an example to the Church.
“The new Pope has been wonderful, he’s excited me so much,” Sir Elton said.
“He’s stripped it [the Church] down to the bare bones and said it’s all basically about love.”
Sir Elton John previously courted controversy on the subject in 2010 when he declared that Jesus was gay, telling a magazine:“I think Jesus was a compassionate, super-intelligent gay man who understood human problems.”
I guess that's his view of the whole thing, but I think the bible spoke a few things on it:
Leviticus 18:22, “Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with
womankind: it is abomination.” An abomination is anything that
is disgusting to God.
Leviticus 20:13, “If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with
a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they
shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.”
