Everton could offer Gbamin an early exit

Everton have become renowned for their reckless spending and poor decision making on signings ever since Farhad Moshiri arrived six years ago, which has now put them in a position of doubt when it comes to Financial Fair Play, however, a new development could save the club millions.

What’s the word?

Everton confirmed on Monday evening that they had agreed a deal to loan Jean-Philippe Gbamin to Russian side CSKA Moscow until the end of the current campaign.

Moshiri could save millions

Despite the transfer only being a loan deal, if Gbamin proves to be effective for the Russian side, Moshiri could save millions ahead of the summer transfer window on the player’s wages over the remaining two and a half years left on his contract.

The 26-year-old who was criticised for “struggling” by Jamie Carragher, is currently on £75k-per-week, so the club could save up to £9.1 million on his wages, depending on the negotiated contract terms for the initial loan deal at CSKA Moscow, and could make further money on a permanent deal in the summer if the player is moved on.

In terms of Gbamin’s career at Everton, the Ivorian national will be well aware that he has fallen even further down the pecking order since Donny Van de Beek joined the side in January on loan and with his position covered by the new signing, it is unlikely he will get any further game time moving forward so the move would be the best decision for both parties.

The £9m-rated defensive midfielder has only made eight appearances since he joined the Toffees in 2019, so it won’t be a loss for the club if he does make the move and could potentially benefit his future career during his time away on loan. He could get more chances to play first-team football to attract potential moves ahead of the summer transfer window.

MatériaMais Notícias

Bangu e Nova Iguaçu se enfrentaram na tarde deste domingo no estádio Moça Bonita, em Bangu. A partida, que foi válida pela quarta rodada da Taça Guanabara (primeiro turno do Carioca), foi agitada, com leve supremacia do Bangu, mas acabou faltando pontaria para as duas equipes, o que ocasionou no empate em 0 a 0. O resultado acaba classificando o Flamengo, líder do Grupo B, para à semifinal do primeiro turno.

Diante de um sol escaldante, como de praxe em Bangu, o primeiro tempo foi bastante movimentado para os dois lados. Apesar do 0 a 0 nos primeiros 45 minutos, as duas equipes tiveram bastante oportunidades de gol.

Contudo, a situação não mudou no segundo tempo, Bangu e Nova Iguaçu tentaram até o fim, mas não conseguiram balançar as redes. O time da casa prevaleceu nos últimos 45 minutos mas o goleiro Jefferson, que inclusive levou amarelo por retardar a partida, fechou a meta e garantiu o empate.

Com o empate as duas equipes permanecem nas posições que iniciaram a rodada, o Bangu na vice-liderança e o Nova Iguaçu na terceira colocação do Grupo B, ambos com cinco pontos. Na próxima rodada o Bangu joga fora de casa contra a Cabofriense, no domingo, dependendo apenas de si para se classificar. No mesmo dia, o Nova Iguaçu pega o já classificado Flamengo no Mané Garrincha, precisando da vitória.

Ireland target rankings jump

William Porterfield, the Ireland captain, has said the extra motivation of moving above Zimbabwe in the ICC rankings will egg his side on to complete a 2-0 sweep

William Porterfield: “It is only a fantastic result if we can make it 2-0″•Grameenphone

William Porterfield, the Ireland captain, has said the extra motivation of moving above Zimbabwe in the ICC rankings will egg his side on to complete a 2-0 sweep of Bangladesh in the one-dayers in Belfast. Ireland comprehensively won the first match on Thursday by seven wickets, with Porterfield’s unbeaten century being the cornerstone of the victory.”It is only a fantastic result if we can make it 2-0 tomorrow [Friday],” Porterfield said after Thursday’s win. “We need to win both games to stay above Zimbabwe in the [ODI rankings] table and that will be the target.” A loss in the second ODI will keep Ireland in 11th spot, while a win will push them to 40 points, six clear of 10th-ranked Zimbabwe.In the first game, Porterfield was named Man of the Match for his fifth ODI century – his first against a Test-playing nation. His brisk 118-run opening stand with Paul Stirling set up a comfortable victory with five overs to spare. “That’s as good an innings as I’ve ever played for Ireland,” he said. “I was feeling good from the word go. Paul Stirling took a lot of the pressure off me with the way he batted. After that Alex Cusack was solid and made sure there would be no collapse.”The one aspect of the team’s performance he was unhappy with was the fielding. “We dropped a couple of catches, so we will be out to eradicate that, but the team have been batting like that for a while now and it was great to carry on the form the lads showed in Holland.”

Everton manager news on Lampard

Journalist Paul Brown has now dropped an enticing Everton manager claim amid uncertainty over the future of Frank Lampard.

The Lowdown: Real concern

It has been reported that there is a ‘real concern’ at board level with regards to the Goodison Park faithful’s recent results and position in the Premier League table.

[web_stories_embed url=”https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/web-stories/everton-news-4/” title=”Everton news!” poster=”” width=”360″ height=”600″ align=”none”]

Lampard had lost eight of his 12 games as manager at the Merseyside club before today’s momentous win over Manchester United, and so it seems his long-term future is certainly still in doubt.

The Latest: Tracking managers

Speaking to GiveMeSport, Brown has claimed that the board are likely now keeping track of other managers, in case they do decide to pull the plug with Lampard:

“It wouldn’t surprise me if they are keeping track of managers across Europe.

“The owner does have plenty of people in his ear all the time advising him on things, so you could see that certain names might have cropped up if things go wrong.”

The Verdict: Enticing

It certainly is enticing to hear that the board are seemingly looking at other managers to potentially replace Lampard, despite him only taking the job a few months ago.

They have been linked with Rennes head coach Bruno Genesio, but could also go down the route of giving it to Duncan Ferguson until the end of the season.

However, they have kept the faith in Lampard despite his poor start, and so may look to stick with the former Derby County and Chelsea boss, unless things really start to get ugly down the bottom of the table.

ميدو: غرامة كهربا قد تتسبب في اعتزاله.. وما حدث مع عبد الله السعيد "درس"

علق أحمد حسام ميدو لاعب ومدرب الزمالك الأسبق ومقدم البرامج الرياضية الحالي، على أزمة إيقاف لاعب الأهلي محمود عبد المنعم كهربا.

وقال ميدو في تصريحات تلفزيونية بفضائية “المحور” عبر برنامجه “الريمونتادا”: “خرج كلام من النادي الأهلي أن مشكلة كهربا سيتم حلها في شهر يناير المقبل”.

وأضاف: “آخر مباراة خاضها كهربا يوم 22 مايو الماضي، اللاعب يحتاج للمشاركة في أسرع وقت ممكن”.

واستكمل: “كهربا لاعب مختلف ومميز ويعطي حلولًا مختلفة في الملعب عن باقي اللاعبين المتواجدين في مركزه بالأهلي، أتمنى أن يعود للمشاركة في المباريات بأسرع وقت، أزمة كهربا يجب أن يتم حلها”.

وواصل: “لاعب مثل كهربا وارد أن تكون الغرامة الموقعة عليه سبب في اعتزاله كرة القدم”.

واستطرد: “كل أخطاء كهربا تتمحور حول عدم قدرته على التعامل مع المواقف بشكل سليم، مهم أن يعود كهربا للمشاركة، حرام أن يظل كل هذه الفترة بعيد عن المباريات”.

وتطرق ميدو للحديث عن تصريحات عبد الله السعيد لاعب بيراميدز بشأن أزمة الأهلي: “ما حدث في موضوع عبد الله السعيد درس له ولكل اللاعبين، طالما أخذت اتجاه معين لا يصح أن تتراجع عنه مهما حدث، القانون لا يذكر ما الذي وعدك به الناس، وفي رأيي المخطئ في قصة عبد الله والسعيد والأهلي هو عبد الله نفسه”.

وتابع: “قرار توقيع السعيد للزمالك، مهما كانت الضغوطات يجب ألا يتراجع عنه، طالما اتخذت قرارًا يجب أن تسير في طريق معين، خاصة وإن كان يتعلق بمنافس قوي ولا تتراجع”.

وأكد: “لا يوجد في كرة القدم شيء اسمه (وعدوني)، الكرة لها عقود وقوانين، قانونًا لا ألوم الأهلي، الأحمر وجد أن نجم كبير من فريقه سيذهب للزمالك المنافس، الأهلي فعل المستحيل حتى يستعيدك ويتحكم فيك”.

وأتم: “إدارة عبد الله السعيد للموقف لم تكن على أفضل نحو وإذا كنت مكانه لحمدت الله أن الأمور صارت بهذا الشكل، هو لم يتعطل كثيرًا في عدم المشاركة، كان من الممكن أن تكون الأمور أسوأ بكثير”.

Newcastle handed boost in Strakosha pursuit

Newcastle United have been handed a boost in their pursuit of Lazio’s Thomas Strakosha.

What’s the word?

Newcastle are in the race to sign Lazio’s Albanian goalkeeper, Thomas Strakosha according to reports.

Citta Celeste, a Lazio-based source, claim that Strakosha likes life in Rome, but would also like to play in the Premier League, with this being a potential boost to the Magpies who are looking to bring him in.

It will not be completely straight forward though, as Strakosha has won his starting spot back from Pepe Reina, having started every league match since early December.

With that, Lazio’s sporting director Igli Tare and their president Claudio Lotito want to keep the £34k-per-week shot-stopper.

However, in what is an internal power struggle within the Serie A side, Lazio boss Maurizio Sarri would prefer to let Strakosha go and bring in Chelsea’s Kepa Arrizabalaga as his replacement.

One condition

Thomas Strakosha, the keeper who “has everything” according to Belgian shot-stopper Silvio Proto does have a condition that would need to be met though.

He would not accept being the twelfth man and would need to be entrusted between the sticks ahead of current Magpies number one, Martin Dubravka.

And, considering his impressive form since reclaiming his spot as Sarri’s number one, there is an argument to be made that the 27-year-old would be an upgrade on the Slovakia international.

Indeed, over his 11 outings in all competitions over the months of February, March and April, the £6.3m-rated shot-stopper has averaged a SofaScore match rating of 7.00 – form which much betters that of Dubravka’s, with the 33-year-old averaging a SofaScore match rating of 6.63 over his 10 outings in the same period.

Furthermore, with Strakosha’s contract at the Stadio Olimpico set to expire at the end of the season, the player who was valued at a whopping £22.5m as recently as August 2020 could prove to be a very tidy pick-up for Newcastle on a free transfer – who would be able to tempt the Albanian over to the Premier League with handsome wages.

However, the Tyneside outfit’s biggest threat to sealing this deal is the interest from Serie A side Torino, as well as Lazio’s potential desire to keep the 6ft1 Albanian – who Proto also dubbed an “explosive” talent.

Either way, Newcastle simply must use Lazio’s indecisiveness to their advantage, as Strakosha very much appears to be a signing that would greatly improve Howe’s first-team squad this summer.

روبن نيفيز: رونالدو سيكون ظاهرة مع البرتغال في مونديال قطر

يحث روبن نيفيز منتخب بلاده البرتغال على اللعب الجماعي الذي سينعكس على قائد فريقه كريستيانو رونالدو بحالة من التألق خلال منافسات كأس العالم قطر 2022.

وافتتح مونديال قطر مساء اليوم الأحد، وشهد هزيمة البلد المضيف أمام الإكوادور بهدفين دون مقابل.

وقال نيفيز الذي يبدأ فريقه مشواره في كأس العالم ضد غانا يوم الخميس: “مما رأيته في التدريبات، رونالدو في حالة جيدة، نحن نعلم جيدًا أن مجموعتنا يجب أن تعمل جيدًا لتسليط الضوء على الأفراد”.

وتابع في تصريحاته التي نشرها “FIFA +”: “لا يختلف الأمر مع كريستيانو، إذا كنا جيدين، فنحن نعلم أن كريستيانو سيكون ظاهرة”. 

أقرب ما وصل إليه رونالدو من المجد مع البرتغال في كأس العالم كان وصوله إلى الدور قبل النهائي في ألمانيا قبل 16 عامًا.

فشلت البرتغال في التأهل من مجموعتها في عام 2014، وانتهت البطولتان التاليتان في دور الستة عشر.

فازت إسبانيا بطلة البطولة على البرتغال 1-0 في عام 2010، بينما خسر فريق سانتوس 2-1 أمام منافسه أوروجواي في روسيا 2018.

بدأ رونالدو تلك المنافسة في 2018 بأداء مذهل، حيث سجل ثلاثية في تعادل 3-3 مع إسبانيا.

في الآونة الأخيرة، حصل على الحذاء الذهبي لتسجيله خمس مرات في كأس الأمم الأوروبية 2020 العام الماضي.

تم تكريس الاهتمام برونالدو في الآونة الأخيرة بشكل حصري بسبب تصريحاته ضد ناديه مانشستر يونايتد، والمحطة التالية المحتملة من مسيرة مزخرفة شهدت وقتًا مع سبورتنج لشبونة، ريال مدريد ويوفنتوس.

أضاف نيفيز البالغ من العمر 25 عامًا: “لقد قيل كل شيء، نحن نركز 100 في المائة على كأس العالم، لدينا أجواء رائعة في الفريق ونركز على ذلك”.

Diego Alves descarta favoritismo na Libertadores e quer foco no Flu

MatériaMais Notícias

O assunto no Ninho do Urubu é a estreia do Flamengo na Copa Libertadores, na quarta-feira, diante do River Plate (ARG). Porém, antes do grande confronto, o Rubro_Negro tem o Fluminense pelo caminho, no sábado, em Cuiabá, pela Taça Rio. E foi nisso que o goleiro Diego Alves pediu o foco, antes mesmo de falar dos argentinos.

Apesar de ser considerada uma dar principais partidas do Flamengo na temporada – que pode dizer muito sobre o futuro do clube na competição continental – Diego Alves quer o Fla pensando jogo a jogo, mesmo com um time misto que vai encarar o Fluminense. Dos titulares, apenas ele e Juan vão para a partida, além de Cuéllar. Entretanto, o colombiano está suspenso nos dois primeiros jogos da Libertadores. O foco agora, para o arqueiro, é o Tricolor.

– Temos que pensar primeiro no Fluminense.Todos os jogos são importantes. Temos o Fluminense antes, que é um jogo que pode ajudar os jogadores a entrarem no ritmo. Logo depois vem a Libertadores. São competições diferentes. Ganhamos a Taça GB e isso dá mais descanso para a Libertadores e todos atingiram o seu bom nível – afirmou o camisa 1, ressaltando a importância de jogar um clássico:

-Todo mundo quer jogar contra o Fluminense. Esperamos que a torcida compareça e faça uma festa bonita. Temos que ter um arranco positivo na Libertadores, precisamos começar bem – disse.

Enquanto o Flamengo está invicto na temporada, o River Plate vive maus momentos no Campeonato Argentino, já praticamente sem chances de conquista, apesar do alto investimento feito para 2018, em nomes como Lucas Pratto e Franco Armani. Mesmo com essa diferença técnica atual, Diego não quer saber de favoritismo para o lado rubro-negro.

-Hoje somos respeitados. O River tem grande investimento também. Serão dois times querendo ganhar, colocando os melhores em campo. Antes temos um jogo importante contra o Fluminense – comentou.

Questionado se já se vê como um dos líderes do grupo, Diego destacou grandes nomes no elenco do Flamengo e falou sobre sua experiência maior do que dos jovens que compõem o plantel.

-No Flamengo temos muitos líderes. Tem o Réver, o Juan…. Lógico que posso ajudar, até mesmo pelos garotos, tudo no que puder ajudar, eu ajudo. Sempre fui comunicativo, gosto de falar com jogadores, no jogo e no treinamentos. É importante na hora do jogo – completou.

Contra o Fluminense, Diego Alves fará sua segunda partida na temporada. O goleiro sofreu uma lesão no ombro, na semifinal da Copa Sul-Americana, em novembro do ano passado, no Maracanã, diante do Junior de Barranquilla (COL). De lá para cá, o arqueiro só treinou e passou por intervenção cirúrgica. Seu retorno aconteceu na última quarta-feira, na goleada por 4 a 0 sobre o Madureira, pela Taça Rio.

Yorkshire sign 10-year Scarborough deal

Cricinfo staff25-Aug-2010Yorkshire will be playing at Scarborough for at least another decade after signing a long-term agreement with the outground.Officials from both clubs as well as the local council secured North Maine Road’s future as Yorkshire took on Hampshire in the County Championship.
