Celtic could now lose youth talent to Premier League outfit in summer deal

by rastrear-estafeta.com Uncategorized

Celtic are on the march to another potential domestic clean sweep, but could now face a battle on their hands to retain a talented young star, per reports.

Celtic take one step closer to a domestic treble

Hampden was literally a sea of green last weekend as Celtic fans packed out the national stadium on Sunday to witness their side batter St Johnstone 5-0 to reach the Scottish Cup final.

Brendan Rodgers now stands effectively one game off becoming the first ever Hoops manager to win three trebles in charge at Parkhead. They only need one point this weekend away to Dundee United to seal a fourth successive Scottish Premiership title.

In essence, Celtic have one match left this campaign that carries direct jeopardy. However, the thought of post-split clashes such as their trip to Tannadice followed by a meeting with Rangers the week after leave enough motivation for the champions to retain a healthy fire in their belly.

Come the summer, Rodgers’ priority will centre around securing Champions League-calibre additions to bolster his side ahead of the final qualifying round.

Crystal Palace youngster Jesse Derry is a target for Celtic following his refusal to sign a new contract at Selhurst Park. On the same token, Stoke City winger Million Manhoef is on the Bhoys’ radar, though may cost £10 million to bring to Glasgow’s east end.

While incomings are always on the agenda, it would be negligent to rule out the fact that several departures could occur at Parkhead this summer to make room for fresh blood.

Further down the food chain, Celtic could now be set to lose a talented young star in a scenario that fans have seen unfold all too often in recent years.

Celtic could lose Dara Jikiemi to Nottingam Forest

According to Football Insider, Celtic could lose young defender Dara Jikiemi to Nottingham Forest after the Premier League outfit set their sights on bringing the 15-year-old to the City Ground.

Following some excellent performances at club level that led him to captaining Scotland’s Under-15 side earlier this year, he could become the latest in a long line of youngsters who have departed Lennoxtown to move on before making a sustained first-team breakthrough.

Ben Doak, Rocco Vata, Daniel Kelly, Liam Morrison and Cameron Harper are just a handful of prodigious stars who have left the Scottish champions in recent years while at a young age, enjoying a mixed degree of success south of the border and further afield.

Brexit has made Scottish soil a hotbed for scouts from English clubs due to tightened rules over signing EU-based players while they are under the age of 18. Celtic aren’t immune to this and will routinely face challenges in keeping hold of young talent for years to come.

One-Test-old Akash Deep determined for more

by n8rngtd.top Uncategorized

Having made his Test debut earlier this year, the Bengal fast bowler is ready to go again after recovering from dengue fever

Shashank Kishore04-Sep-2024On a pleasant Bengaluru afternoon, after working up a sweat during an intense training session, India fast bowler Akash Deep is on his phone to check scores of the first Rawalpindi Test between Pakistan and Bangladesh.He’s aware he could be in contention for India’s home Tests against Bangladesh later in September, and wants to see how their batters are faring. Watching cricket that is relevant to his immediate assignments has been Akash’s night-time routine lately. During the day, he’s been ramping up his bowling workloads and training hard.”I haven’t played any competitive cricket since the Bengal T20 League in June,” Akash tells ESPNcricinfo ahead of the Duleep Trophy from September 5 in Bengaluru and Anantapur. Dengue fever had sidelined him for three weeks until mid-July, but he’s done the work since to get himself ready in time for India’s home season, and hopes to add to his maiden Test cap that he earned against England in Ranchi this year.”I was on complete bed rest for those three weeks. When I came back to bowl, I realised the body takes time to get back into rhythm. You can do as much gym work as you want, but unless you bowl, those bowling muscles don’t open up.”Akash, 27, is just four seasons old in first-class cricket, and he’s made a strong impression as a skiddy bowler who can dart the ball both ways. When he was spotted by former Bengal captain Manoj Tiwary during a club game in Kolkata in 2018, Akash caused both “hair-raising excitement” – in Tiwary’s words – and frustration because of his tendency to bowl “four good balls and two hit-me balls.” A conversation with India fast bowler Mohammed Shami in Kolkata was a turning point.”He spoke to me about his issues with fitness, what he did to improve, how he came back from injuries,” Akash says. “That chat gave me perspective. I used to bowl mid-130s, but after following his advice, I worked on my fitness and I realised slowly I could bowl long spells without being tired.”In red-ball cricket, I’ve been focusing on consistency. How long can you land the ball on the same spot? Sometimes when there’s nothing in the wicket, you can tire out. My focus has been on building my endurance to bowl long spells and remaining consistent because you need to keep up the pressure and not leak runs.”As a fast bowler, I keep discussing with so many coaches. It’s about building up to get wickets in Tests. The formula doesn’t change, A good ball is a good ball at both club level and international level. My job is to keep hitting the five-to-seven metre mark, keep it there. The more you can bowl there, the more successful you will be.”These habits earned him three wickets in his first hour as a Test cricketer: Ben Duckett, Ollie Pope and Zak Crawley in the bag before he was six-overs old in Ranchi. As he reflects on those emotions now, Akash has put the giddy high of his Test debut behind him.”When you work hard and come this far, there’s a feeling from within that that I need to do a lot more to stay here. That’s my thinking. I feel I needed to work harder, so that I can play a lot many more Tests.”The journey to his India cap has been tough. In 2015 his father and brother, both of whom were unwell, died in the span of two months. It was then that he considered leaving home for Kolkata to play cricket seriously.”A lot has changed but I think of my dad,” Akash says. “I wish he’d seen me play Tests. Whenever I’m low or in need of that extra push, I think of him. It gives me the strength to get even better.”Akash Deep with his family on the day of his Test debut•BCCIAkash comes from Sasaram, a town in rural Bihar, where in 2007 his entire neighbourhood pooled in money to rent a generator and a TV to watch India play Pakistan in the T20 World Cup final. Sixteen years later, they were gathered around a giant screen outside his house to watch one of them play for India. Akash’s mother and sister, though, were rushing to Ranchi at a few hours’ notice, to watch him get his Test cap from Rahul Dravid.”Growing up, people in our village used to scold us whenever we talked about cricket,” he says. “All we kept hearing was it won’t feed us. No one had ever done anything that could be considered a big achievement. No history of sports, no proper grounds or infrastructure. But when I went back home after my Test debut, I saw kids playing with such joy and parents actually encouraging them. If because of me, awareness in my town has gotten better, what more can I ask for?”Akash is earnest and articulate. He attributes this to his mentors and expresses gratitude towards those who have helped him.”Arun Lal, he’s done so much for me,” Akash says, when asked about those he looks up to. “It’s amazing how some people come into your life. At a time when I didn’t believe in myself, he’d tell me how I’m the best and how I had everything to succeed. Those words to a nobody were very encouraging.”He believed in me more than I believed in myself. That motivated me to learn. When I made my Test debut, I called him to get his blessings. He said, ‘I knew this would happen, I told you five years ago.’ If you’re at five, he’ll build you up to be 10 on 10.”There’s determination to Akash and a hunger that leaves little room for complacency. He knows he’s just getting started. “I feel every stage I’ve got chance, I’ve tried to perform well. But I don’t feel I’ve achieved a lot. As a person there’s no age to learning. If I get into this mindset that I’ve achieved, then that (hunger) dies. I want to just stay fit, keep playing, focusing on that and not think of what I’ve done.”My mindset is simple. The next match I play is the most important match of my life.”

Kohli's slump: two factors that might have had a role to play

by h716a5.icu Uncategorized

His current rough patch has lasted a lot longer than anyone might have imagined

Aakash Chopra23-Aug-2022″Form is temporary, class is permanent. And Kohli is class.””He isn’t out of form. Just short of runs.””It’s not that he isn’t scoring runs, it’s just that the century hasn’t come. Anyway, it is just round the corner. This series. This tournament. This match.”The chatter started as the wait became longer for the elusive 71st international hundred, but now it has reached a point where the conversation is no longer just about the next century anymore.Related

What is ailing Virat Kohli?

Ian Bishop: 'Concerned that many types of bowlers are getting Virat Kohli out'

There’s no doubt in anyone’s mind about Virat Kohli’s class and his skills, and even if he doesn’t score another run in international cricket from here on, he will still be regarded as one of the greatest to have played the game. A man who did superhuman things and mastered all three formats like almost no others.Still, there’s also no hiding from the fact that the bat that worked like a magic wand isn’t obeying his commands anymore. There are more misses than hits. The aura of invincibility has faded and his presence doesn’t instil the same fear in bowlers’ minds as it used to earlier.But let’s be honest: this has happened to everyone who has played the game before him. That is why you are always remembered for how you lived and not for how you died.Okay, I shall now leave the metaphors behind and focus on the issue at hand.Kohli hasn’t scored enough runs lately. It has been a rough patch that has lasted a lot longer than any of us thought it might – Kohli included, perhaps. There are dozens of theories floating around about what might have gone wrong and how and when this dreadful spell might end. I am guilty of indulging in a couple of them, which I shall elaborate on later in this article.When a player goes through a rough patch, the conversation has only two places to go – is it a technical problem or a mental one? In my limited experience, both are intertwined; often one leads to the other and nobody can determine what came first, chicken or egg.Here’s a cycle of events: a slight technical glitch creeps into your game unknowingly but you ignore its presence because you’re able to handle it for a while with a superior (read, positive) mindset. Until it becomes too much to handle and you lose your rhythm, which results in the mindset not being the same anymore. You then start introspecting and doubt becomes a constant companion. Such a chain might start with a cocky mindset that allows a mistake to creep in in the first place too. Anyway, you get the drift.

Then you start working on both aspects. Technical first, because it’s tangible, and then the mindset: positive thoughts, visualisation, and so on. Eventually you find a way out of the hole… for a while, and then you don’t. This is a basic cycle in a cricketer’s career, repeated many times over, and ending in a final goodbye.I’m in no way suggesting that Kohli’s story is remotely close to its final pages. In fact, considering all that he has achieved, his commitment to his fitness and his fighting spirit, the chances that he will be able to produce an encore are high. But it’s also important that it happens soon enough, for the sake of his and India cricket’s immediate future. After all, there is a World Cup starting in about eight weeks.So is it a technical problem that Kohli is facing? Is it his commitment to the long front-foot stride (the same commitment that got him thousands of international runs) or is it the front foot going too far across now, making him prod at balls outside off? (Remember, Ricky Ponting’s front foot went a lot further across.) Or is it that he doesn’t have a strong back-foot game through the off side and bowlers have finally figured it out?Graeme Smith didn’t cover-drive much. Virender Sehwag didn’t pull or hook. And there are many more such examples. But these limitations did not stop those players from becoming very successful international cricketers. Yes, Kohli is edging more frequently than he used to, but is it the only mode of his dismissals? Once again, I’m not suggesting that there isn’t a technical issue – nobody is perfect – but the length of this dry spell suggests there’s more to it.There are two things that have happened in the last two years that had not happened before with Kohli. There were long disruptions in cricket due to Covid, and also, Kohli expressed a desire to take breaks, which he did not do when he was at the peak of his powers, when he more or less wanted to play every day, if that was possible. Bio-bubble fatigue is real and it drains players in ways they have never experienced before, and long breaks are things most current players don’t know how to handle either.For the longest time, the only way to get back into form for a top player was to play as much cricket as possible, even if it meant playing at a slightly lower level. Everyone went through that drill till about a decade ago. But nowadays, poor form is followed by breaks from the game. I’m not an expert and won’t pretend to be one but we really don’t know whether that’s the best approach towards regaining form and/or confidence. Times have changed and ways of dealing with issues like this might have changed too.

The second thing that changed with Kohli – and it only happened after he had not scored enough for a while – was his approach to starting new innings. The foundation of Kohli’s batting was absolute commitment to his method, in a manner that was almost robotic. But in the last couple of years he seems to have tried various approaches. So much so that you hardly remember what his foolproof old method was. He has gone very hard and he has gone very cautious too. I’m not saying that he has not followed his tried-and-tested method at all but that the deviations from that method have been too frequent.The problem isn’t as grave if you keep getting out for single-digit scores. In those cases you would be able to identify the issue a lot easier. But if you’re getting starts and are committing mistakes much later in the innings (and very often at that), you fail to identify the problem. It’s not the first ball outside off that you’ve nicked but the 70th or the 100th, and that points towards it being more a mental problem. Of course it’s a technical flaw but it’s the mental discipline, or lack of it, that triggers that flawed response.In theory cricket is a team sport, but you are on your own more often than not. While you’re a part of the team’s successes and defeats, you also inhabit an alternative universe of your own performances. And it gets very lonely there.For much of his career Kohli walked a path less travelled – the one that took him to the very top. Now he has to walk a path that almost everyone else has travelled (including himself early in his career). This path might lead him back to the old glory days or he might not achieve the same heights ever again.It’s a disturbing thought but one that must be considered nevertheless, for that’s the only way to live a liberated life. The enjoyment of playing the sport does not lie in coming out all guns blazing or defending endlessly but in playing at your own pace; the pace that you set for yourself without thinking about the outcome, for that’s what you were most comfortable with. That’s when every ball becomes an event – the most important event of your life at that point of time. And that’s when you become one with the sport itself.The current Indian team set-up is ideal for Kohli to be liberated from expectations, including some of his own, because the unwavering focus is on the team outcome. This set-up won’t judge him for the fifties and hundreds he scores or doesn’t but on how he has been able to contribute to upholding the team philosophy, and that’s a lovely place to be in.Kohli has paid a huge price for his own success, which has included not only others judging him by the lofty standards that he set but also Kohli himself trying to replicate the player he was three years ago. You have almost been able to touch and feel his struggle, and there isn’t a cricket lover who hasn’t wished for it to end. Sport should be a source of joy, not agony, for player and viewer alike. We hope that the break he has taken does the trick and the bat becomes his wand again.

Prithvi Shaw or Shubman Gill, and other questions India face ahead of warm-up game

Bumrah’s form, Jadeja-Ashwin conundrum among the key issues India look to sort out during their three-day tour match against a New Zealand XI

‘Opening the innings isn’t new to me’ – Shubman Gill

India have won each of their last seven Tests, each of them by an innings or 200-plus runs. Given this, they should start the red-ball leg of their New Zealand tour at peak confidence, particularly since their opponents are coming off a 3-0 whitewash at Australia’s hands. But injuries and a couple of cases of iffy form have thrown uncertainty into India’s preparations. Here are the key issues they’ll look to sort out over the course of their three-day warm-up game against a New Zealand XI, which begins on Friday in Hamilton.A new opening combinationSince they began opening together, no one has scored more Test runs for India than Mayank Agarwal and Rohit Sharma, and both average in the 90s in this period. New Zealand conditions were always going to be a bigger test for both of them, but now India won’t have Rohit, who’s out with a calf injury.Agarwal, meanwhile, has run into some ordinary form, picking up a pair for India A in an unofficial Test against New Zealand A in Christchurch, and following up with scores of 32, 3 and 1 in the ODI series. More than the scores, he will be concerned by the nature of his dismissals. In the second ODI in Auckland, he was caught on the crease and squared up by a Hamish Bennett delivery that didn’t move all that much, and in the third ODI in Mount Maunganui, he was bowled by one that straightened past his outside edge when he played across the line to Kyle Jamieson.Prithvi Shaw punches the air after a century on debut•Associated PressAgarwal will probably still start the Test series, given the weight of his runs in India’s home season, but who will partner him? Prithvi Shaw has already played two Tests and scored a century on debut, and was set to start for India on their 2018-19 Australia tour, before an injury, and then a suspension, put him out of the game for a significant spell. Shubman Gill is yet to play Test cricket, but he’s made 83, 204* and 136 in his last two red-ball games for India A, in New Zealand, and averages 73.55 in first-class cricket. How well Shaw and Gill do in the warm-up match could determine who partners Agarwal in the first Test in Wellington.Cracks in the pace machineIf all its components were fit and firing, India’s pace attack would be the least of their worries going into the Test series. But Ishant Sharma won’t play the warm-up match, and might miss one or both of the Tests too if his ankle injury doesn’t heal in time.Jasprit Bumrah, meanwhile, will be playing his first red-ball game since the second Test of India’s tour of the West Indies in August-September 2019. He bowled like a demon on that tour, moving the ball whichever way he pleased, at high pace, in the air or off the deck, and taking 13 wickets at the ridiculous average of 9.23, including a hat-trick. Just when he seemed to be at the peak of his powers, though, he sustained a stress fracture of the back, and his displays in white-ball cricket since his return have suggested he isn’t quite back at that level just yet.Ishant Sharma has been laid low by a grade-three tear in his ankle•BCCIIshant and Bumrah are probably India’s most important quicks away from home. Their fortunes over the next three weeks could hinge on how Bumrah copes with a red-ball workload over the next three days in Hamilton, and how Ishant performs in his fitness test in Bengaluru on Saturday. Even as India sweat over those questions, they will keep a close eye on how Umesh Yadav – who performed brilliantly in the 2019-20 home season but hasn’t yet made the same kind of impression overseas – and the pacy but uncapped Navdeep Saini bowl in Hamilton.The Jadeja-Ashwin questionIn India’s last overseas Test series, in the West Indies, they picked Ravindra Jadeja as their lone spinner and left out R Ashwin. As impressive as Ashwin was with the ball in the home Tests against South Africa and Bangladesh, Jadeja probably remains India’s No. 1 choice, with his contributions with the bat particularly hard to ignore.If the first-choice pace trio of Ishant, Bumrah and Mohammed Shami were all at full fitness, India may not have had any need for lengthy deliberations over their combination. But if they have to carry a fast bowler who’s not quite 100% fit, they might need to think of playing five bowlers, which opens a door for Ashwin.Another reason to ponder five bowlers is the nature of New Zealand’s pitches, which, over the recent past, have tended to not deteriorate on days four and five, leading to high-scoring third and fourth innings. There will likely be help for the fast bowlers on days one and two, though, so India have two ways to think about their selection: they might look for first-innings batting solidity and pick six specialist batsmen, or look ahead to an expanded second-innings workload and pick a fifth bowler.

Man City women's player ratings vs Aston Villa: Khadija Shaw brings up a century of goals with brilliant quadrupe and Vivianne Miedema impresses as WSL leaders earn commanding win

by h716a5.icu Uncategorized

Khadija Shaw surpassed a century of goals for Manchester City as she scored four times to inspire her side to their 10th successive Women’s Super League victory in a thumping 6-1 win over Aston Villa. The Jamaica international took her tally to 103 goals in just 120 appearances in all competitions for the Cityzens, who are now six points clear at the top of the league table.

With both teams taking to the field for their final league fixture of 2025, it was Villa who started the better as Rachel Daly threatened to connect with the in-form Kirsty Hanson’s low cross, but the captain narrowly missed the ball as she slid into the six-yard box. 

However, City were soon able to bypass the visitors’ impressive high press, taking the lead when Shaw converted Vivianne Miedema’s first-time cross for her 100th goal. And the 28-year-old scored her 101st just moments later when she raced into the penalty area, before cutting onto her favoured right foot to find the far corner.

Showing no signs of complacency in the second half, City pushed hard for a third and they thought they had it when Miedema bundled home after Shaw hit the woodwork, but the goal was chalked off after Kerstin Casparij was adjudged to have been offside in the build-up. 

However, the Blues eventually made it 3-0 when Netherlands international Miedema’s wonderful through ball found Aoba Fujino, who was emphatic with her finish past Villa goalkeeper Sabrina D’Angelo. So often a threat on the road, having drawn at Arsenal and won at Manchester United, Natalia Arroyo's Villans were rewarded for their consistent pressure when defender Lucy Parker headed home from substitute Missy Bo Kearns’ corner.

But City – who were able to bring on captain Alex Greenwood for her first appearance since October – soon restored their three-goal cushion when Miedema capped off a brilliant performance with a goal – the forward tapping home from Fujino’s neat cross. And for the icing on the cake, Shaw then scored her third and fourth goals of the afternoon as Andree Jeglertz's side secured their 13th straight victory in all competitions. They will now finish the year six points ahead of second-placed Chelsea and eight clear of third-placed Arsenal.

The 'keeper almost gave a goal away with a careless pass into City team-mate Yui Hasegawa, which – fortunately for both players – came to nothing.

Kerstin Casparij (7/10):

On her 100th appearance in all competitions for City, the Netherlands right-back was a threat going forward, forcing a good second-half save from Villa's D'Angelo.

Jade Rose (6/10):

The defender made an important block late on to prevent Villa striker Daly from finding the back of the net.

Rebecca Knaak (5/10):

Fresh from signing a new two-year contract extension in midweek, the centre-back was cautioned for a mistimed tackle on Villa's Daly.

Leila Ouahabi (5/10):

The left-back was up against inspired Villa wing-back Chasity Grant, who won the battle between the two players.

Laura Blindkilde Brown (6/10):

Neat and tidy on the ball, the England international supplied City's forward line well enough, watching on as Miedema and Shaw did the damage.

Yui Hasegawa (7/10):

The midfielder played a key role in City's second, winning possession in the middle of the park before setting Shaw on her way.

Aoba Fujino (8/10):

One of City's best performers this season, the Japan international was electric down the right flank, netting her side's third with a superb finish before assisting Miedema.

Vivianne Miedema (9/10):

Displaying plenty of guile between the lines, the WSL's all-time top goalscorer showcased her all-round game by recording assists for Shaw and Fujino, before netting herself.

Lauren Hemp (7/10):

The scourge of Villa, having previously scored seven WSL goals against them, the winger registered the pre-assist in the build up to Shaw's opener.

Khadija Shaw (10/10):

Reaching and then surpassing a century of goals in City colours, the striker was simply remarkable inside the penalty area. She has now scored 12 WSL goals in just 11 games this term.

وقال فوزي خلال تصريحات عبر قناة “الكلاسيكو” المذاع على قناة “أون”: “حمزة عبد الكريم عقليته عقلية لاعب كبير، ينام بدري ويصحى بدري ويتبع نظام حياة مختلف”.

وأضاف: “أتمنى من النادي الأهلي أن يعطي لحمزة عبد الكريم فرصة، فهو لاعب كويس جدًا وهو من أبنائي”.

وتابع: “وجهة نظري أن حمزة عبد الكريم أفضل من ثنائي الأهلي جراديشار ومحمد شريف”.

وأكمل: “قبل ماتش سويسرا في كأس العالم بقطر للناشئين، كان هناك مندوب من برشلونة ومعه تفويض رسمي وطلب أن يقابل حمزة، وكابتن محمد إبراهيم مدرب المنتخب تواصل معه”.

وأردف: “كان يوجد عرض آخر للاعب الإسماعيلي إبراهيم النجعاوي، من نادي في سويسرا بـ 600 ألف يورو تقريبًا، لكن النادي الإسماعيلي رفض ولم يعجبه الرقم، وتقريبًا الإسماعيلي كان يطلب مليون يورو، وهذه الأرقام ليست موجودة بالخارج لهذه الأعمار الصغيرة”.

واستطرد: “الكابتن إكرامي الشحات لا يُقارن، من رأيي في الملعب والتمرين لا يُقارن بأحد، وهناك حسين السيد من أفضل ثلاثة حراس في تاريخ الزمالك، وعلى قصر قامته كان ارتقاءه أفضل بكثير من الحراس”.

وزاد: “عبد الواحد السيد أفضل من محمد عواد، عبد الواحد السيد موهوب أكثر، وأرى أن محمد عواد لا يجب رحيله عن الزمالك، فنيًا أرى أن الزمالك يحتاجه، والمهدي سليمان ظلم نفسه بوجوده مع نادي الزمالك لأنه كان رقم واحد في الاتحاد السكندري”.

وأتم: “محمد الشناوي أفضل من أبو جبل، وأبو جبل لما وقع لم يتحمل الضغط، ومحمد عبد المنصف ظلم كثيرًا، كان متواجدا في فترة صعبة جدًا في نادي الزمالك”.

الدوري الإنجليزي يوافق على قانونين مهمين.. ومعارضة ضد ثالث

by h79snht.top Uncategorized

وافقت أندية الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز، أليوم الجمعة، على تطبيق حد الرواتب وقانون الاستدامة قصيرة وطويلة الأجل، وذلك بدءًا من موسم 2026-2027، لكنها رفضت حد الإنفاق، حسب بيان رسمي اليوم.

وأوضحت الرابطة أن حد الرواتب يعني أن الفرق لا يمكنها إنفاق أكثر من 85% من إيراداتها على الرواتب ورسوم الوكلاء، بينما يقيس قانون الاستدامة والمرونة قدرة الأندية على الوفاء بالتزاماتها المالية قصيرة وطويلة الأجل.

وأشارت إلى إنه في ضوء ذلك، لم يحظ حد الإنفاق بدعم كاف لإقراره، وكان سيقيد إنفاق الأندية بخمسة أضعاف ما يكسبه الفريق صاحب المركز الأخير من حقوق البث التلفزيوني وجوائز مالية على فرقه.

وأفادت أنه بناءً على موسم 2023-2024 (آخر موسم تتوفر عنه أرقام دقيقة)، كان هذا يعني أن الأندية لا يمكنها إنفاق سوى 550 مليون جنيه إسترليني (630 مليون يورو).

وأكدت الرابطة في بيانها: “يهدف الحد الأقصى الجديد للرواتب إلى تعزيز تكافؤ الفرص للأندية الطموحة، ويقرب النظام المالي للدوري الإنجليزي من الحد الأقصى الحالي للرواتب في الاتحاد الأوروبي لكرة القدم، والذي يعمل بنسبة 70%”.

وحظى قانوني حد الرواتب وقانون الاستدامة قصيرة وطويلة الأجل بدعم إجماعي من الأندية، ولكن لم يحظ حد الإنفاق إلا على 7 أصوات مؤيدة، في حين هناك ضرورة إلى الحصول على 14 صوت من الأندية من أصل 20.

وعلى الرغم من أن تحديث لوائح الإنفاق الحالية ضروري لنمو الدوري، إلا أن العديد من الجهات المرتبطة بالدوري الإنجليزي هددت بالفعل باتخاذ إجراءات قانونية في حال تطبيق هذه الإجراءات.

وأكدت رابطة لاعبي كرة القدم المحترفين قبل أيام أنها ستلجأ إلى القضاء في حال لم يأخذ الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز بعين الاعتبار آراء اللاعبين عند تحديد أرباحهم المحتملة.

West Ham United look to be in absolute free fall at the moment.

Not even the new appointment of Nuno Espirito Santo has been able to stop the Premier League losses from piling up in East London, with the forlorn Hammers at least thankful to Wolverhampton Wanderers for picking up no wins to keep them off the very foot of the division.

Still, West Ham only have the one dire win from nine league matches themselves, as the ex-Nottingham Forest boss grows increasingly concerned that he is steering the ship straight down to the Championship.

Max Kilman has received plenty of pelters in recent weeks for his disastrous performances at the back, with the £40m recruit looking anything but a stable presence defensively in the daunting Premier League.

Kilman's woes at West Ham this season

With Kilman in the heart of defence this season, West Ham have leaked a shambolic 20 goals already in league action, which is the worst defensive record in the entire division.

He isn’t helped by his regular partner being Jean-Clair Todibo, who has just one clean sheet in claret and blue from 30 Premier League appearances, but the ex-Wolverhampton Wanderers man is very much on borrowed time when focussing in on the number 3’s woes, having been descrobed as “shocking” by one West Ham content creator during the 2-0 loss to Brentford last month.

Igor Thiago for the Bees completely bullied the weak 28-year-old all night long, with Kilman’s feebleness in the air, and when going in for duels one major concern. Indeed, he won only two of his eight duels against Keith Andrews’ visitors.

He did improve on this weak area against Leeds United last time out, with 100% of his aerial duels successfully won, but he still isn’t in the West Ham fans’ good books off the back of a debut season in East London that saw him collect just six clean sheets from 38 league outings.

His ex-Old Gold manager in Gary O’Neil has even opened up to state that one of Kilman’s biggest problems is his frustrating nature to “switch off” during games, with Nuno now potentially wanting to get rid having seen how shoddy the 6 foot 4 defender has been already during the early stages of his West Ham managerial career.

Thankfully, in the long term, West Ham could already have an in-house replacement for the £40m flop.

Nuno could look towards the next generation emerging up the ranks at West Ham to try and breathe life back into his side’s disastrous season, with Freddie Potts one face who could be deserving of a senior shot soon.

Alongside Potts, Kaelan Casey also looks ready for some first-team action imminently, having already been labelled as an “outstanding” asset to have at Swansea City by his short-term boss Alan Sheehan, after not looking fazed by the challenge of Manchester City in the EFL Cup.

Looking at his numbers above, Sheehan was right to shower the 21-year-old with praise, with Swansea in danger of being on the receiving end of a drubbing without Casey stepping up to the mark, as seen by the number 26 registering a mammoth 14 clearances all across the 3-1 defeat, on top of winning every single duel and tackle that came his way.

With a full EFL season soon to be under his belt, it’s clear that Casey could soon be fast-tracked to the first team picture back at the London Stadium, having already lined up for three senior games for his boyhood employers.

He also has 106 games next to his name for the Hammers U18s and U21s, with Declan Rice once even labelling Casey as an “unreal” talent off the back of him scoring 11 goals as a dependable defensive figure in youth football.

Kilman will know that he’s on borrowed time in East London, and if Casey returns with even more impressive showings to boast about – like his imperious night against City – he will soon surely be demoted down the pecking order for the 21-year-old to shine.

Ratcliffe now makes Man Utd enquiry to sign "world-class" Champions League winner

by n8rngtd.top Uncategorized

Manchester United have made an enquiry about the signing of a “world-class” player with six league titles and a Champions League win to his name.

Sesko promises more to come at Man Utd

The Red Devils secured a vital 2-0 win at home to Sunderland in the Premier League on Saturday, easing some of the pressure on Ruben Amorim in the process.

It was a good day for Benjamin Sesko, who scored his first Old Trafford goal, and speaking after the game, he said there is hopefully much more to come from him at United.

“It feels amazing. It feels even better because I’ve helped the team to come to the end and to win the game. In the end, it’s important to win the game, trying to help the team as much as possible. The goal, the atmosphere afterwards was unbelievable. It’s something that I’ve been dreaming about, jumping high at the stadium like that, and yeah – [my] dreams came true.

“In the end, this is my job; trying to score as many goals as possible, trying to win the games, trying to help the team in every single situation, and hopefully [there are] more moments like this [to come].”

United’s win was a much-needed boost for anyone linked with the club, but that’s not to say that new signings aren’t needed, with one world-renowned player now mentioned as a potential target.

Man Utd make enquiry for "world-class" ace

According to Sport in Spain, Manchester United and Sir Jim Ratcliffe have enquired about signing Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen, with Premier League rivals Newcastle United and Tottenham also in the mix to sign him.

The 33-year-old German is out of favour under Hansi Flick, meaning a move elsewhere is likely, with a loan option to buy possible in the January transfer window.

Ter Stegen has arguably been one of the leading ‘keepers of his generation, winning six La Liga titles and one Champions League crown during his time with Barca, also being lauded by Germany manager Julian Nagelsmann.

“We have made the decision (Neuer will start in goal). Unfortunately Manu got injured but it’s just a strain and he will only be out for ten days, so I won’t be changing my decision. I also said in a conversation with Marc [Andre Ter Stegen] that I’m happy that we have two world class goalkeepers. I explained to him that it was important that he was there for the two games.”

Admittedly, Senne Lammens produced an encouraging performance for United against Sunderland, not least keeping a clean sheet, but if the chance of signing a player of Ter Stegen’s calibre arrives, the Red Devils should take it.

At 33, he is still far from old for a goalkeeper, and he will be desperate to prove his worth before the 2026 World Cup, having lost his place in Barca’s starting lineup after injury problems.
