Villa plotting January move for Barisic

Aston Villa are interested in a deal to bring Borna Barisic to Villa Park in the January transfer window.

What’s the talk?

That’s according to a report by 90min, who claim that the Glasgow Rangers left-back is one of a number of players on Steven Gerrard’s shortlist of transfer targets ahead of the winter window.

The report goes on to state that, while the 41-year-old Aston Villa manager does not want to ruin his relationship with the Scottish Premiership side, he believes the defender has the ability to make the step up to Premier League football and could look to pursue a deal for the 29-year-old in January.

Purslow must move

Considering the poor form of Aston Villa’s current first-choice left-back, Matt Targett, so far this season, the position would indeed appear as if it could do with strengthening in the January transfer window.

Indeed, over Targett’s 10 Premier League appearances this term, the £15.3m-rated man has helped his side keep just one clean sheet, registered one assist and created two big chances for his teammates, as well as making an average of 1.4 interceptions, one tackle, 1.2 clearances and winning a mere 3.9 duels per game.

These returns have seen the 26-year-old average an extremely disappointing SofaScore match rating of 6.58, ranking him as Villa’s 10th-worst performer in the league.

In comparison, while the Scottish Premiership is undoubtedly a lower standard of football than the English top-flight, Barisic has nevertheless looked much more impressive than the £34k-per-week Villa defender.

Indeed, over his six league appearances, the £5.4m-rated Croatia international has helped his side keep one clean sheet, registered two assists and created one big chance for his teammates, in addition to making an average of 0.5 interceptions, 1.5 tackles, three clearances and winning 4.3 duels per fixture.

These metrics have seen the player who Gerrard himself dubbed an “outstanding” talent average a SofaScore match rating of 7.18, ranking the 29-year-old as Gers’ third-best player in the division.

As such, considering the stark contrast between the respective returns of each player, it would indeed seem highly advisable for Christian Purslow to sanction a swoop for the £18k-per-week Barisic in January, as he is most certainly a player Gerrard would love to once again have in his squad, as well as appearing to be an immediate upgrade on Targett.

Having been dropped from the Mumbai squad for the Buchi Babu tournament, Amol Muzumdar has decided to join Assam for the upcoming domestic season. “I have given a good thought before taking the decision,” Muzumdar told . “Believe me it was a tough decision. There are bound to be some ups and downs in a player’s career. My name was not there in the Buchi Babu squad. I felt it was some kind of an indication.”The 34-year-old right-hand batsmen admitted that he had been pondering over an offer made to him by the Assam Cricket Association and said his task was made easier when he failed to make the cut for the all-India invitational tournament currently underway in Chennai.Muzumdar has played 144 first-class matches, scoring 9558 runs at 49.52. He has scored 3103 runs in the 104 List A games at 39.78. He made a disappointing 359 runs in nine matches at 27.61 last season and is 31 shy of breaking the Ranji Trophy record for the most runs, currently held by Amarjit Kaypee with 7,623.”I’ve not played first-class cricket since February,” said Muzumdar. “My next match will be on November 3. It is a matter of nine months. It has not crossed my mind too many times. I feel I will be very happy when I get there.”However, Muzumdar said he would have been happier if he had broken the record playing for Mumbai. “Mumbai is always close to my heart,” he said. “I would have loved to have done that with the lion crest on my cap. I’ve set some other goals in my career which I will try and achieve.”Muzumdar said he was “lucky” to have played with three generations of players in his 16-year career for Mumbai. “I’ve to thank a lot of people,” Muzumdar said. “My first captain Ravi [Shastri] who believed in my ability. My first coach Karsan Ghavri and lot of other guys. The three generations of cricketers are Ravi, Salil Ankola, Sanjay Manjrekar, then my friends Sairaj [Bahutule], Sameer [Dighe], Abey [Kuruvilla], Wasim [Jaffer], Vinod [Kambli] and finally with youngsters like Rohit Sharma, Abhishek Nayar and Sahil Kukreja. I will also miss the dressing room.”He also said that no one in the Mumbai Cricket Association tried to reverse his decision. “Nobody. I spoke to Sachin and he was pretty okay with my decision,” Muzumdar said.

China deixa Lucas Lima mais longe do Santos; Palmeiras monitora

MatériaMais Notícias

O futuro de Lucas Lima deve ser decidido apenas a partir de novembro, mas uma proposta do futebol chinês já mexe com o jogador. Seu vínculo com o Santos se encerra no fim do ano, e apesar de o Peixe já ter oferecido um contrato de três anos, a permanência está cada vez mais complicada. O Palmeiras é outra equipe que monitora a situação do armador.

Segundo o pai do meia santista, Roberto Lima, em contato com a reportagem, há conversas em andamento com uma equipe chinesa, que não pode ser revelada. Vale lembrar que no ano passado, o camisa 10 do Santos recusou uma oferta do China Hebei Fortune de R$ 4 milhões mensais.

Em entrevistas recentes, Lucas disse não se arrepender da recusa, mas admite ver o mercado asiático com outros olhos desde que o técnico da Seleção Brasileira, Tite, passou a convocar jogadores que atuavam no país, como foram os casos do volante Paulinho, do meia Renato Augusto e do zagueiro Gil.

O Palmeiras nesse mês fez uma sondagem ao estafe do jogador, buscou informações sobre valores e é um candidato a contratá-lo, caso Lucas decida permanecer no Brasil, o que no momento não é o mais provável. Pessoas ligadas ao clube sabem que o jogador está conversando com o futebol chinês.

Na última semana, Cuca tratou a possibilidade de contratar o santista como um “boato” no momento – mas respondeu, também, que a situação muda no fim do ano.

Segundo o estafe de Lucas, o futuro do atleta só será decidido a partir de novembro. O jogador e seu pai estiveram juntos no CT Rei Pelé no dia 27 de junho para ler a proposta de renovação de contrato do Santos, que inclui ficar na Vila Belmiro até o fim de 2020 e receber R$ 41 milhões até o fim deste período. Eles não deram resposta até o momento.

No Peixe desde janeiro de 2014, Lucas tem 194 jogos e 19 gols marcados. Seus direitos são divididos, até o fim do ano, em três partes: 80% do Doyen Sports, 10% da empresa Khoddor Soccer e 10% do Santos.

Recuperando-se de uma lesão de grau 2 na coxa, o camisa 10 desfalcará o Peixe no clássico contra o Verdão, neste sábado, às 19h, no Allianz Parque.

Antonio Conte dealt major Spurs injury blow

Antonio Conte has been dealt a further injury setback ahead of Tottenham Hotspur’s clash with NS Mura in the Europa Conference League this evening…

What’s the latest?

The Italian will be without three players after delivering a fresh update to reporters during his pre-game press conference over in Slovenia.

“[Dane] Scarlett in this moment is not available. During the international break he had a problem in his ankle and is not available. He’s injured in the same way like Cristian Romero and Giovani Lo Celso,” he revealed (via football.london).

But to make matters worse, it appears the injury to the Atalanta loanee is a lot worse than first feared, handing the 52-year-old a crushing long-term blow.

On Romero’s absence, he then added: “We are waiting for another scan. I think his injury is a bit serious and we have to wait. It’s an injury that is more serious that Lo Celso and Scarlett.”

So not only will Conte be without Romero for the foreseeable future but he is also without two players that would’ve most likely earned some minutes on the pitch in an encounter like this one in young striker Dane Scarlett and attacking midfielder. Lo Celso.

Devastating setback

This update will surely leave the Spurs boss absolutely gutted, if not slightly annoyed and frustrated by the international break because three members of his first-team squad are now on the treatment table.

And one of his key starters in Romero is now facing a serious stint out.

[snack-amp-story url = “https://www.footballfancast.com/web-stories/tottenham-hotspur-latest-team-injury-team-news-updates-transfers-gossip-rumours-antonio-conte-thfc” title=”Read the latest Spurs news, transfer updates and much, much more!”]

Indeed, the Argentina international started both of Conte’s first two games in charge, making 12 starts across all competitions this term but now the manager is going to be light on options in defence – a big worry because of his three-at-the-back system.

The fact that Conte believes it is ‘more serious’ is a huge cause for concern right now.

Meanwhile, Lo Celso has found it hard to pick up regular minutes for the club this campaign but has featured regularly in Europe, starting four times when fit. He would have certainly been in line to lessen the burden on some of the usual starters, who will be feeling the effects of Conte’s fitness work in recent weeks.

Similarly, Scarlett is really the only alternative to Harry Kane upfront, so the England talisman may no longer be able to be rested with the teenager out injured, thus for all of the reasons mentioned above, it makes it a very frustrating and significant blow to Conte ahead of kick-off.

He’ll need to be a little wary with team selection as his side face a tough trip to Burnley on Sunday afternoon but with three players missing, that task isn’t going to be an easy one.

Hunte wants meeting with Ramphal to clear allegations

WICB president has requested Bharrat Jagdeo, the Caribbean Community and Common Market (CARICOM) chairman and Guyana president, for a meeting to rectify the “misinformation” regarding the failed mediation talks

West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) president Julian Hunte has sought a meeting with Bharrat Jagdeo, the Caribbean Community and Common Market (CARICOM) chairman and Guyana president, to set right the “misinformation” over the failed mediation talks between the board and the West Indies Players’ Association (WIPA).In a letter to the Guyana president, Hunte said the WICB had been wrongly blamed for the collapse in talks and that immediate measures were needed to correct the perception.”It is my sincere hope that you will agree that an early meeting between us may assist in correcting the erroneous impressions that have been conveyed in order to forestall any further adverse effect on the reputation of West Indies cricket,” Hunte wrote in his letter. “At the same time, I trust that you will appreciate the urgent need for us to set about some damage control measures with regard to the misinformation that is already in the public domain.”Jagdeo criticised the WICB last week over the failed mediation talks headed by former Commonwealth secretary-general Shridath Ramphal. Jagdeo, who brokered the mediation deal in Guyana in July, felt that when the WIPA agreed during their July 21 meeting to make all their players available for selection, the move would allow “normalcy” to return.Instead, Jagdeo alleged the board prejudiced the efforts to broker peace from the start by not disclosing they had already selected a Champions Trophy squad without the top-flight players. Ramphal also said one “party” had introduced a document late in the mediation process which had led to the stalling of talks.But Hunte hit back at the comments, claiming that Jagdeo had agreed during the July 21 meeting that while the striking players had made themselves available, “actual team selection was a matter for the selection committee”. Hunte, in fact, slammed WIPA president, Dinanath Ramnarine for having not taken the mediation process seriously, after absenting himself “to proceed on vacation with his family in Tobago.”Hunte also said Ramphal’s public comments and his final report to Jagdeo were factually incorrect. “I am advised that the articulation of the WICB’s position by Ramphal in his press statements and in his final report to you are factually incorrect and that there was never any adoption by the WICB during the mediation proceedings of an unwillingness to negotiate on the proposed Mediation Agreement which it submitted on the night of August 31, 2009,” Hunte wrote.The impasse, which developed ahead of the previous home series, against Bangladesh, led to the region’s leading players making themselves unavailable over pay and contractual disputes. The matter is now expected to head to the Caribbean Court of Justice for arbitration.

Petros insinua que árbitro favoreceu Timão: 'Seria falta, mas já joguei lá'

MatériaMais Notícias

Autor do gol do São Paulo no empate com o Corinthians, no Morumbi, o volante Petros reprovou a atuação da arbitragem. De acordo com o atleta, que jogou no Timão entre 2014 e 2015, houve erros capitais a favor dos visitantes. O principal teria sido no lance do gol de Clayson, em que Rodriguinho teria cometido falta em Júnior Tavares no início da jogada. Petros lamentou os pontos perdidos e lembrou da época em que atuou no rival para insinuar que o Corinthians foi ajudado pelo apito.

– Daria tudo para conseguir essa vitória. Resultado injusto. Dominamos por completo o Corinthians, poucas vezes vi uma superioridade tão grande, e olha que somos time de zona de rebaixamento.Se tem 50 lances como esse, são 50 faltas. Mas já joguei lá – disse Petros.

Questionado sobre o que quis dizer com a frase, Petros tentou minimizar a afirmação e lembrou do tento anulado de Militão, aos 13 minutos do segundo tempo, quando estava 1 a 0 para o São Paulo. O juiz marcou falta de Pratto em Cássio no momento do gol, e não marcou a infração de Rodriguinho em Júnior Tavares. no lance que resultou no chute de Clayson nas redes de Sidão.

– O que quero dizer é que é falta. Ele deu falta igual do Pratto na área. Tem que apitar, aqui é o São Paulo. Não quero dar recado para ninguém. Não é vacilo, é falta, tem que apitar. Não tem que reclamar para apitar, tem que apitar – acrescentou o volante, defendendo o uso do árbitro de vídeo e criticando os desmandos da CBF em relação ao uso da tecnologia.

– A semana toda é polêmica, vai pôr árbitro de vídeo, depois não põe, a CBF volta atrás, e a gente não sabe o que vai acontecer – completou.

O empate mantém o Corinthians disparado na liderança, com 54 pontos, e o São Paulo continua na zona de rebaixamento.

Conte green lights Kessie swoop for Spurs

Speaking to GiveMeSport, journalist Michael Bridge of Sky Sports has made a transfer claim involving Tottenham and AC Milan star Franck Kessie.

The Lowdown: Spurs eyeing Kessie move…

As reported by numerous sources, Spurs are one of the clubs in contention to sign one of Milan’s prize assets as his contract at the San Siro steadily winds down.

[web_stories_embed url=”https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/web-stories/spurs-developments-2/” title=”Spurs developments!” poster=”” width=”360″ height=”600″ align=”none”]

The Ivory Coast star could leave at the end of 2021/2022 for free as it stands with the Italian giants still yet to agree a contract extension, putting many clubs on high alert.

One of them is Tottenham, with reports even recently suggesting that it is far more advanced than simply interest.

La Gazzetta dello Sport (via Get Italian Football News) claimed that the Lilywhites were in very advanced talks to sign Kessie while reporter Rudy Galetti even stated that a Spurs agreement was ‘close’ (Twitter).

While not exactly backing those audacious updates, Sky reporter Bridge believes Spurs’ interest isn’t going anywhere.

The Latest: Bridge makes Kessie to Spurs claim…

Speaking to GMS, sharing what he’s heard from Italy, the journalist relays that Antonio Conte has apparently given the ‘thumbs up’ for his new club to swoop for Kessie – green lighting a move.

He explained:

“The talk of Kessie at AC Milan is not going away. There’s talk in Italy that Spurs really want him and Conte’s given the thumbs up.”

The Verdict: Get it done…

Given his new deal situation, managing director Fabio Paratici and Conte could secure a real bargain for Tottenham by signing him on a pre-contract in January.

Valued at a sky-high £49.5 million by Transfermarkt, Spurs could bypass that fee entirely and snap up a proven Serie A star who has attracted all sorts of praise.

European football specialist Nicky Bandini lavished Kessie as ‘extraordinary’ on ESPN, for example, while the player’s manager, Stefano Pioli, called Kessie ‘sumptuous’.

An all-round midfield star, the African racked up an impressive 13 goals and four assists in 36 Italian top flight starts last season despite being a natural defensive midfield player (WhoScored).

Meanwhile, this campaign, he’s averaged a higher pass accuracy (92.2%) than any of Tottenham’s midfielders – indicating he would add real class and composure in the middle of the park under Conte.

Taking all this into account, we quite simply urge Spurs to get a deal done.
