Celtic had a nightmare in Christie sale

After joining Celtic for a figure in the region of £500k back in the summer of 2015, expectations for Ryan Christie’s future at Parkhead were extremely high.

It is easy to see why, as, after breaking into the Inverness Caledonian Thistle first team in the club’s 2013/14 Scottish Premiership campaign, scoring three goals over 15 league outings, the attacking midfielder went on to cement a starting spot in John Hughes’ side the following season, bagging four goals and registering three assists over 35 appearances in the top flight of Scottish football.

And, while still being just 20 years of age upon the time of his move to the then Scottish champions, Christie continued his rather remarkable rise away from Glasgow, during three separate loan spells.

The first of these was back at Inverness, where the Scotland international scored three goals and provided six assists over 13 Premiership fixtures, while the second two loans both came at Aberdeen, with the midfielder bagging 15 goals and registering 18 assists over 57 appearances in all competitions during his two years at Pittodrie.

Upon his return to Celtic, not only was Christe a more developed and well-rounded player, but he was also a more valuable one, with the youngster’s Tranfsmarket value rocketing from £225k at the time of his initial move to Celtic to £630k after his three temporary spells away from the club.

This is a trend that would continue at Parkhead, with the £12k-per-week man scoring 11 goals and registering nine assists over 38 appearances in all competitions for the Bhoys in 2018/19. His value then jumped to £3.38m in the summer of 2019 – bagging a whopping 20 goals and providing 16 assists over 45 fixtures in 2019/20. He once again witnessed his value rise in 2020 to £5.85m – and after scoring seven goals and registering 15 assists over 46 appearances in all competitions in 2020/21 his estimations increased to £6.3m at the end of last season.

However, despite these extraordinary returns and his ever-rising value, Celtic somehow allowed the player who Alex McLeish dubbed a “magnificent” talent to enter the final year of his contract at Parkhead without having agreed an extension – something which ultimately led to the Bhoys cashing in on the midfielder for a mere £2.5m this summer.

As such, considering the sheer amount of potential Christie demonstrated during his time in Glasgow, in addition to the fact that the Hoops sold the 26-year-old for a figure £3.8m less than his current Transfermarkt value of £6.3m, it is not a difficult argument to make that the Bhoys had something of a nightmare in the sale of the midfielder.

Leewards overcome scare to snatch narrow win

A round-up of the fourth day of the 14th round matches of the Regional Four Day Competition

Cricinfo staff15-Apr-2009Leeward Islands overcame a lower-order scare from Windward Islands to snatch a 28-run win in St Thomas. Windwards were tottering at 110 for 7 overnight in pursuit of 249 for victory, and were in deeper trouble when they lost their eighth wicket, that of Mervin Mathew, with the score on 125. However, an 84-run ninth-wicket partnership between Shane Shillingford (57) and Deighton Butler (43) threatened to turn the tables. Shillingford’s innings included six fours and a six, but his partner Butler was more aggressive, taking 57 balls for his 43. Leewards got their much-needed breakthrough when legspinner Anthony Martin got one to spit off the pitch to have Butler caught at short leg by captain Steve Liburd. Shillingford then was unable to see his team through, losing his patience to hole out in the deep at long-on off Martin while attempting to clear the ropes. Martin finished with three wickets – two of which came on the final day – and Gavin Tonge with 5 for 44 to give Leewards their fifth win of the competition. However, they still finished two points shy of Windwards to take the third place.Guyana and Barbados played out a draw at the Providence Stadium after a century from opener Sewnarine Chattergoon helped extend Guyana’s lead to 298 on the final day. Barbados then batted 14 overs to reach 67 for 1 before the match was called off. Starting the day on 72, Chattergoon progressed to his fifth first-class century and was well supported by Vishal Singh (34) in a stand of 96 for the fourth wicket. Handy contributions from Royston Crandon, his brother Esuan and Davendra Bishoo, each of whom chipped in with 30-plus scores, prolonged their team’s innings and ensured that a draw was the only result possible. Guyana were bowled out for 360, with legspinner Nikolai Charles finishing with career-best figures of 5 for 99. At the end of the match, Guyana found themselves at the bottom of the points table with no wins against their name. Barbados finished with 60 points, with four wins and five losses, to take the fifth place.

Ismael could save WBA millions with Cleary

While West Bromwich Albion have started life under Valerien Ismael well, with the Baggies having lost just one of their 11 Championship fixtures under the Frenchman, there have nevertheless been questions raised regarding Albion’s lack of an out and out goalscorer.

Indeed, while Ismael did secure the services of Norwich City centre-forward Jordan Hugill on a season-long loan deal this summer, the 29-year-old is yet to find the back of the net over his seven second-tier appearances for the club.

That’s something that has caused West Brom problems at times, none more so than when the Baggies failed to win three consecutive fixtures against Millwall, Derby County and Preston North End – with Albion scoring just two goals in these games.

As such, it would appear likely that Ismael is already starting to consider entering the January market for further additions up top, however, perhaps the 46-year-old could find a solution to his problem much closer to home.

Lukaku 2.0

West Brom have developed something of a reputation for developing promising young players in recent years, with the likes of Aston Villa’s Louie Barry and Crystal Palace’s Nathan Ferguson both being graduates of the Baggies academy.

However, unfortunately for the Championship side, they have often been unable to keep hold of their most exciting prospects, with many leaving The Hawthorns on free transfers, while others have been picked up by Premier League teams for a relative snip.

And, it would now appear as if West Brom have yet another diamond on their hands, this time in the shape of 17-year-old Reyes Cleary – who is already reported to be attracting the interest of Borussia Dortmund as well as many others.

Indeed, it is not difficult to see why there is significant interest in the teenager, as, over his four U18 Premier League appearances for Albion this season, Cleary has scored a brace in each fixture – which just so happen to have been against Chelsea, Crystal Palace, Fulham and Tottenham Hotspur.

The teenager has also bagged two goals over two appearances for the Baggies’ U23 side, taking his total haul so far this season to ten goals – in addition to one assist – in just six games.

Furthermore, it is not only transfer interest that Cleary is attracting, but also extremely high praise, with West Brom’s U18 coach Peter Gilbert dubbing the striker a “powerful” player who is an “excellent” finisher – while the youngster has also been compared to former Baggies loanee and current Chelsea star, Romelu Lukaku.

Considering Ismael’s reputation for involving up and coming talents in his first-team squad, in addition to Hugill’s distinct lack of goals, it would seem a wise move for the Frenchman to begin exposing Cleary to senior football before potentially dipping into the transfer market this winter – as the teenager could well go on to save Albion millions in transfer fees.

Zé Ricardo volta à Arena Corinthians com lições do último confronto

MatériaMais Notícias

O último duelo entre Corinthians e Flamengo em Itaquera foi bem agitado e com muitos lances marcantes. Na ocasião, o time paulista conseguiu vencer por 4 a 0, mas o jogo ficou marcado pela lesão de Ederson, que voltou somente dez meses depois aos gramados. O treinador Zé Ricardo acabou sendo expulso por reclamação e lembrou do encontro, afirmando ter tirado lições.

– Todo jogo deixa pra gente ensinamentos, aquele também. Em respeito ao nosso equilíbrio, como fui expulso, atrapalhou tudo. Lá o Corinthians é forte, mas temos que jogar. Se deixar o time deles tomar conta do jogo eles vão aproveitar. Seguramos bem no primeiro tempo, mas tomamos o primeiro gol e sucumbimos.

Para conseguir um resultado melhor desta vez, Zé Ricardo espera que sua equipe consiga fazer uma partida bem concentrada, para não dar vacilo ao Corinthians, que normalmente não costume perder pontos em casa.

– O Corinthians uma equipe bem equilibrada, o Carille aproveitou a maneira de jogar e adicionou suas estratégias. Tem dado certo e não é atoa que estão bem no brasileiro e classificados na Sul-Americana. Temos que estar concentrados para fazer uma boa partida.

Os dois treinadores são da nova geração e trabalhando em dois gigantes do futebol brasileiro estão fazendo boas campanhas. Fábio Carille está implantando a sua cara no Corinthians e resultados estão sendo bem positivos. No Flamengo, apesar da fase não ser das melhores, Zé Ricardo tem um trabalho sólido e a confiança de todos no clube.

Aston Villa: Buendia should start vs Spurs

After securing a famous 1-o win at the home of Manchester United last week, Aston Villa will be hoping to enjoy yet another big victory when they travel south to face Tottenham.

Dean Smith’s side sealed all three points at Old Trafford thanks to a late Kortney Hause header and will no doubt be bouncing into today’s game against Spurs.

However, one man who has been on the fringes of things since his summer arrival from Norwich is Emi Buendia.

The Argentine started the first three of the games of the new Premier League season before the whole controversy of travelling away on international duty caused him to lose his place in Smith’s side.

He did come on for the final 12 minutes against United last week, but will surely be hoping that he can break into the Villa line-up today.

Max Aarons, his former teammate at the Canaries, has previously raved about Buendia’s abilities, saying: “He’s not really a player who will get on the ball and take you on as a full-back. His game is more about getting into pockets, playing neat passes and creating things.

“When you’ve got someone, who wants to run at you, then it’s easier to lock them down whereas someone like him is quite intricate so it’s hard to get near him. He’s tenacious and very strong. He’s got a lot of attributes.”

The 24-year-old was superb last season for Norwich, playing in between the lines to good effect and showing the kind of eye for a pass which saw him finish as the Championship’s leading assists provider with 16 last term.

While playing away at United might understandably have seen Smith opt to leave Buendia on the bench, a game against a struggling Spurs side who are faltering in the Premier League could give the Argentine the perfect chance to take the game to the north Londoners and cause havoc.

The £31.5m-rated playmaker has been dubbed a “revelation” by Chris Sutton, and he could well be Villa’s game-changer today against Spurs upon his hopeful return to the starting line-up.

Meanwhile, Gregg Evans has dropped an Aston Villa transfer update…
