Transfer fee could force Kabir to stay

Events off the pitch continue to overshadow those on them at New Road. It has now emerged that Kabir Ali could yet remain a Worcestershire player after the club demanded a significant transfer fee for his services

George Dobell at New Road09-Sep-2009Events off the pitch continue to overshadow those on them at New Road. It has now emerged that Kabir Ali could yet remain a Worcestershire player after the club demanded a significant transfer fee for his services.While they have granted him until the end of the month to talk to other counties, they have also insisted upon a compensation payment of £60,000 should he leave. As a consequence it could be that he decides to remain at the club and see out the final year of his contract, though the prospect of retaining an unhappy player is one that the director of cricket, Steve Rhodes, has previously said he wanted to avoid.There is also the unappealing possibility that the whole episode will be resolved by lawyers. The source of Kabir’s dissatisfaction with the club would appear to be their treatment of him during injury.Most pertinently, it could be argued that he was pressurised into playing when unfit and exacerbated pre-existing injuries. Whether giving a bowler an epidural and asking them to bowl equates to a breach of contract is debatable and may well be decided in a court room.If he does leave, it is thought that Hampshire are one of those clubs interested in talking to him. Whether they are still a Division One club at the end of the season remains to be seen, however. Though in the bottom two before the current match, the points they took on the first day moved them just above Sussex.

كلوب يوضح تطورات حالة مصابي ليفربول ويعلن موقف آرثر من مواجهة نابولي

تحدث مدرب فريق ليفربول، يورجن كلوب، عن حالة بعض اللاعبين المصابين قبل مواجهة نابولي مساء الغد في بطولة دوري أبطال أوروبا.

ويلتقي الفريقان في إطار منافسات الجولة الأولى من دور مجموعات دوري أبطال أوروبا، وذلك على ملعب “دييجو مارادونا” في إيطاليا.

ويفتقد ليفربول خدمات اللاعب جوردان هندرسون للإصابة، بينما يتواجد الوافد الجديد آرثر في القائمة المستدعاة، كذلك تياجو ألكانتارا بعد تعافيه من الإصابة.

وقال كلوب في المؤتمر اليوم: “عاد تياجو إلى التدريبات، كان اليوم هو الثاني له، إنه جاهز، لأي مدى غدًا؟ سنرى”.

وأضاف: “هندرسون؟ لدينا نتائج الفحص، سيكون ذلك بعد التوقف الدولي، أعتقد أنه سيعود في غضون ذلك الوقت”.

وواصل: “آرثر يحتاج إلى كرة القدم والتدريب، لم يشارك في تدريب الفريق منذ فترة، هذا ما نفعله، هل يمكنه اللعب لمدة دقائق؟ نعم، المباراة كاملة؟ لا، يجب أن يعتاد على الشدة”.

واستكمل: “إنه يبلي بلاءً حسنًا، يبذل قصارى جهده، سنرى ما إذا كان بإمكاننا استخدامه”.

وفيما يتعلق بحالة فابيو كارفاليو الذي عانى من إصابة يوم السبت الماضي خلال مواجهة إيفرتون، قال الألماني: “إنه يتجول مرة أخرى، قد يكون مستعدًا لعطلة نهاية الأسبوع ولكننا لسنا متأكدين تمامًا”.

وأردف: “كورتيس جونز؟ عندما كان كورتيس خارجًا سابقًا، كان لديه رد فعل إجهاد في عظم حول قصبة الساق، كان جيدًا تمامًا ولم يعد هناك مشكلة، تم تدريبه مرتين ثم شعر به مرة أخرى”.

وأوضح: “ليست سيئة مثل المرة الأولى ولكنها سيئة بما يكفي لعدم المشاركة في تدريب الفريق مرة أخرى، علينا أن نكون حذرين”.

STJD pune Valencia com quatro jogos por expulsão contra o Vitória

MatériaMais Notícias

O meia Leo Valencia é desfalque contra a Chapecoense, nesta quarta-feira, às 19h30, em jogo da 27° rodada do Campeonato Brasileiro. Isso não é novidade, mas a ausência dele do Botafogo pode ser ainda maior. Nesta terça-feira, o chileno foi punido com quatro jogos de gancho pela expulsão após falta em Ramon, no revés de 3 a 2 para o Vitória, na última rodada.

A condenação cabe recurso, o que o clube deve fazer. A punição já inclui a suspensão automática contra a Chapecoense. Assim, ele deve ficar fora também contra o Vasco, no próximo domingo, no Maracanã, contra o Avaí, na Ressacada, no dia 18/10, e Corinthians, no Nilton Santos, no dia 23.

O atleta não esteve presente ao julgamento, pois está com a seleção chilena, que ainda nesta terça-feira, encara o Brasil, em São Paulo. Ele foi enquadrado no artigo 254-A, que fala em agressão, e pegou a pena mínima. O meia poderia pegar até 12 jogos de suspensão.

O Botafogo está em sexto no Campeonato Brasileiro, com 40 pontos, e contratou o meia para suprir a ausência de Montillo, que aposentou-se. Além de Valencia, o Botafogo conta com João Paulo e Marcos Vinicius para a posição.

Injured Younis not shirking tough games

If Younis Khan and his team fail tomorrow, he will front up and explain why they did. If there is success, he will turn up much the same. But turn up he will

Younis Khan: “Why not come out and do something like Sachin did in 2003, something for my country which they will remember me for ages”•Getty Images

Running away holds a significant place in Younis Khan’s scheme of things. It is a recurrent theme in his conversation, shirking from challenge, responsibility and difficulty. He has spent his career and life mired in these matters, in making his way into and out of and then back in, in refusing the vice-captaincy in 2002, in refusing the captaincy in 2007 and finally in taking it.There is a school of informed thought in Pakistan that believes when Younis turned down the captaincy after the last World Cup – effectively that he ran away, if you like – he did so because he wanted to take over when things had become even worse and some kind of savior was needed. It is self-indulgent, righteous and hubristic even, the belief that onlyyou can resolve what is a mess and right all wrongs. Democrats will also tut-tut. But the stance is also to be admired, for, potentially, you set yourself up for big falls, bigger than even the rewards. And to go into it knowing that, it is something few men take on.In a recent interview with Cricinfo, talking about taking up the captaincy time Younis said, “I am going to go into this storm, go right to the edge and see how long I can stand there.” To him that is the fun. It is a curious, contrary outlook to have and as he is a true Pathan, we can safely say he is no different from many of his kind. The balls here are untampered.Precisely these things determine his place in the side tomorrow. A finger on his right – and bottom – hand is fractured and the doctors told him he needed four weeks rest. Yesterday morning, a full two days before the India game, barely a week after the injury, the PCB – presumably with Younis’s consent, more likely on his directives – announced he will play against India. Bravado indeed.Given the opponent, it is likely he would’ve turned up had he lost a limb but nothing is ever to be assumed in Pakistan cricket; few people have forgotten just who didn’t turn up for the 1996 World Cup quarter-final against India. “I am playing tomorrow. I was told four weeks rest but I want to take my chance tomorrow, playing against India. Maybe if it wasn’t India I would’ve skipped this match. It’s very easy for me to run away, I have a fracture and I can leave it, not play against India and Australia. But these are big games. If you don’t perform in a big tournament you have to face consequences and it is very easy for me to run away here.”He is a chancer, for he believes that having tried something and failed is much more preferable than not having tried it at all. Not playing tomorrow is worse than playing and failing. And playing and succeeding is the glory of all glories. It is a choice that might dictate the inclusion or otherwise of Mohammad Asif, for example, and it is in these delicate balances of choice and decision that Younis is found.”I am looking at the big picture, who knows I may perform tomorrow and that performance will be remembered because I played with a broken finger. If I score a hundred and become Man of the Match and win the match – that is the big picture. Not playing is no advantage at all. This is manageable, maybe with an injection tomorrow, but I might play in pain tomorrow.”We’re all used to playing in pain, and the motivation has to be there to get up and play for the country. I am not 100%, it will hamper my fielding and if I get hit I will be in pain but the big picture is, why not come out and do something like Sachin did in 2003, something for my country which they will remember me for ages.”He is a fascinating study; a strikingly honest man, hyper, stubborn, proud, sometimes vindictive and much worldlier than many of his team-mates. Currently, he is one of the few really good men in Pakistan cricket’s setup. If he and his team fail tomorrow, he will front up and explain why they did. If there is success, he will turn up much the same. But turn up he will.

Leeds must sign Nandez in January

Leeds United may not have had the start to their second season back in the Premier League as they would have hoped based on their early results.

Injuries have also dampened their campaign so far with the likes of Patrick Bamford, Luke Ayling and Robin Koch being out of action for significant periods.

With this in mind and the fact that the January transfer window is approaching, the Yorkshire club could be forced into bringing some new players in to help strengthen Marcelo Bielsa’s squad and get them away from the relegation zone.

One player that Leeds could secure the signing of in January that they were linked with over the summer is Cagliari right-midfielder Nahitan Nandez.

Recent reports from Calcio Mercato (via Leeds Live) have claimed that the Italian club would be prepared to sell Nandez for lower than his €36m (£30.5m) release clause.

If these claims are true, this could provide Victor Orta with a great opportunity to deliver Bielsa his dream transfer that they missed out on in the summer without having to pay as much as they originally thought they had to.

Since joining the Serie A club from Boca Juniors back in the 2019 summer transfer window, the 25-year-old, who is currently valued at £18m according to Transfermarkt, has made 85 appearances across all competitions, scoring four goals and providing nine assists in the process.

As well as showing how much of a versatile player he is by playing in a number of positions across the midfield and attack for Cagliari in Serie A this season, Nandez has also managed to highlight how much of a well-rounded player he is by racking up an average of 1.1 key passes per game as well as 2.1 tackles per game.

This backs up why Serie A expert Conor Clancy previously described Nandez as a “powerful” player that has “really good ball control.”

Taking all of this into account, if Leeds see an opportunity to work out a financially viable deal with the Italian club to bring Nandez to Elland Road in January, then they should be all over it, as the Uruguayan has shown he could be a solid addition to their squad and suited to the physical nature of the Premier League.

أهلي جدة يقترب من لويس سييرا لتدريب الفريق خلفًا لـ سيبولدي

يقترب مجلس إدارة أهلي جدة برئاسة وليد معاذ، من تعيين المدرب التشيلي لويس سييرا، كمدرب للفريق في الموسم الحالي.

وكان الأهلي قرر التخلص من المدرب الأوروجواياني روبرت سيبولدي بسبب البداية المخيبة للأمال في الموسم الجاري.

وشنت جماهير الأهلي عبر مواقع التواصل الاجتماعي هاشتاج حمل عنوان “سييرا مطلب أهلاوي” وطالبت بضرورة اختيار المدرب التشيلي لتولي تدريب الفريق ورفض فكرة تعيين أي مدرب وطني.

وبحسب خالد بن سيف الاعلامي الرياضي السعودي فإن إدارة الفريق الجداوي وضعت شرطًا أكبر من التأهل لدوري المحترفين، حتى تقبل بتعيين سييرا مدربًا للفريق الأول.

وتابع بن سيف أنه في حال وافق سييرا على هذا الشرط فسوف يصبح مدربًا للفريق الأهلاوي في الفترة المقبلة.

وكان سييرا، 53 عاما، تولى تدريب اتحاد جدة في الفترة من 2016 إلى 2018، ونجح في قيادة الاتحاد لتحقيق لقب كأس الملك صيف 2018، كما درب نادي الطائي في الموسم الماضي.

يذكر أن الراقي هبط لدوري الدرجة الأولى “دوري يلو” للمرة الأولى في تاريخه بعدما احتل المركز الخامس عشر في الدوري السعودي للمحترفين في الموسم الماضي.

ووصل الأهلي للنقطة الثامنة عقب مرور 5 مباريات ليصل للمركز الخامس في جدول الترتيب، بينما توقف أحد عند خمسة نقاط في المركز الثاني عشر.

Man City fans buzzing over McAtee update

Flocking to Twitter, a number of Manchester City fans are absolutely buzzing over a fresh contract update involving promising youngster James McAtee.

As the Sky Blues ended their Champions League Group A campaign top of the table, albeit with an underwhelming 2-1 defeat away to RB Leipzig to finish off, McAtee was one of five City starlets to be handed a place on the bench by Pep Guardiola in Germany.

[web_stories_embed url=”https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/web-stories/man-city-latest-updates-2/” title=”Man City latest updates!” poster=”” width=”360″ height=”600″ align=”none”]

The 19-year-old joined Romeo Lavia, Cole Palmer, CJ Egan-Riley and Josh Wilson-Esbrand as part of City’s squad on Tuesday night, but only Palmer was allowed a small runout on Europe’s biggest stage (SofaScore).

However, McAtee is seen as one of many bright academy products to have come through recently at Eastlands, even drawing comparisons with club legend David Silva.

His contract situation remains a point of contention, though, with his current deal expiring in 2023, although it appears that some good news has emerged as City attempt to tie down their starlet.

According to the Daily Mail and reliable reporter Jack Gaughan, talks are now ‘progressing’ over fresh terms for the 19-year-old, coming shortly after he made his Premier League debut against Everton last month.

Man City fans buzzing…

Understandably, in light of this news, it’s safe to say that lots of City supporters are buzzing over this update on one of their star products.

Shining at under-23 level this season as well, McAtee’s likeness to Silva is perhaps an indication of his sky-high potential as fans also witnessed the rise of fellow academy graduates Palmer and Phil Foden over the last year.

It appears that City’s state-of-the-art academy complex is finally nurturing the kind of top talent akin to famous institutes like La Masia, and the last thing the Sky Blues will want is a mass exodus of their gems.

Taking this into account, it’s no surprise to see many fans revelling in this contract update on McAtee, with one calling it the ‘best news’. Check out some of their reactions below:

Craig Kieswetter, the Somerset wicketkeeper-batsman, has been included in the England Performance Programme squad and will spend eight weeks training at the National Cricket Performance Centre in Loughborough and South Africa’s High Performance Centre in Pretoria in November and December.The programme involves 42 players who have been divided into groups according to their experience. Kieswetter will join 10 others in the B group, which comprises players with first-class experience with an estimated one to three years’ development, before potentially graduating to the England team.Kieswetter, part of the South African Under-19 squad for the World Cup in 2005-06, later shifted base to England, whom he will be eligible to represent from February 2010. He has been widely talked about in England domestic circles for his strong, clean striking, especially in the one-day game where he has formed a formidable opening partnership with Marcus Trescothick.He was the second-highest run-scorer for Somerset in the County Championship with 1242 runs at 59.14 with four hundred and seven fifties.

'Tem que manter isso aí, viu?': Timão fica no empate com Grêmio na Arena

MatériaMais Notícias

Esta semana não trouxe muitas novidades na política. Teve senador acusado de receber propina que foi abraçado de volta por seus amigos, teve presidente que viu os amigos deputados salvarem sua pele mesmo sob a acusação de organização criminosa… enfim, tudo no espírito do “tem que manter isso aí, viu?”. Se a política brasileira segue na mesma, o Campeonato Brasileiro repetiu o mantra. Nesta quarta, no duelo entre os líderes, Corinthians e Grêmio empataram em 0 a 0 e mantiveram em nove pontos a vantagem alvinegra.

Em Itaquera, a torcida corintiana não quis saber de diplomacia. Pediu “sangue no olho e tapa na orelha”, cantou o nome dos jogadores um a um e incentivou no jogo em que havia risco real do Brasileirão mudar de panorama se a distância para os gaúchos diminuísse. Havia pressão, mas não houve muito futebol. Teve chute de fora da área de Rodriguinho, teve batida cruzada de Edílson após passe de Luan, teve pedido de pênalti após corte de Geromel e teve cabeceio perigoso de Jô após cobrança de falta de Jadson. Só não teve gol.

O jogo começou muito disputado, mas rapidamente caiu na mesmice, com o Grêmio apostando nas jogadas laterais e o Timão tentando centralizar. Quando viu que a receita não renderia gol, o ministro – digo, técnico, Fábio Carille apostou na velocidade de Clayson e Marquinhos Gabriel para surpreender na etapa complementar e esquentar o jogo, que naquela hora estava morno, morno.

E quem esquentou de verdade o duelo na Arena Corinthians foi o Grêmio. Após falta cometida por Fagner em Everton no lado esquerdo do ataque visitante, Edílson cobrou com maestria, mas a bola bateu no travessão de Cássio. Renato Gaúcho tentou agitar a partida com Jael, mas não era dia de gols. Para o Corinthians, bom resultado. Para o Grêmio, uma rodada a menos pelo sonho do título.

À espera do Santos, que pode diminuir para sete pontos a distância para a liderança no complemento da 29ª rodada, o Corinthians volta a jogar só dia 23, contra o Botafogo. O Grêmio, por sua vez, entra em campo no domingo, contra o Palmeiras.
