Having gone through October and November without a win in the Premier League and with only one win from four games in December, it’s safe to say that Everton have not been in the best shape in recent months.

Luckily for the Toffees, the January transfer window is close to opening and could therefore give the Merseyside club the opportunity to potentially strengthen their squad and put them in a good place to put their poor run of form behind them end the season on a high note.

Speaking to Football Insider on what business Everton could do in January, pundit Frank McAvennie had this to say on the matter.

He said: “If Everton are going to stick with Rafa then it needs to be shown. The easiest way to do that is in January, you can give Rafa the players he wants. It’s no good sacking [Marcel] Brands and backing the manager if the form doesn’t turn around and you sack the manager anyway.

“It sounds like Rafa will have the chance to build his own team and that’s what he needs. You can’t judge him, it’s not his team. Let him bring four or five quality players in this January then let’s see where they are. I can see that happening.”

The prospect of Everton signing four or five quality players must be an exciting one for a lot of Toffees fans who will undoubtedly be hoping that Benitez can get 2022 off to a winning start in the same way he started the season off with Everton.

However, as McAvennie mentioned, with Everton saying goodbye to their director of football Marcel Brands earlier this month, it will be interesting to see how the club goes about their business in January and if Brands’ absence will have an impact.

In terms of which areas of the pitch the Toffees could look to strengthen in January, if they are aiming to sign a handful of quality players, they should definitely focus on signing at least one, if not more defensive players given how only Leeds United, Watford, Newcastle United and Norwich City have conceded more goals than they have so far this season.

Furthermore, they may have to replace the likes of Yerry Mina and Lucas Digne who have both been linked with an exit away. Consider Seamus Coleman’s age, too, and the idea of signing a few defenders certainly makes sense.

After all, the Merseyside outfit won’t start picking up more consistent point hauls until their defence gets better.

Um dos responsáveis pela reação do Flamengo na classificação para a semifinal da Copa Sul-Americana, o garoto Vinicius Júnior entrou no segundo tempo para mudar a cara do jogo. Ele não balançou a rede, mas participou do segundo e do terceiro gol do Rubro-Negro no empate de 3 a 3 com o Fluminense. Como perdia de 3 a 1, o técnico Reinaldo Rueda lançou o jovem de 17 anos na ponta esquerda, tirou Trauco e improvisou Everton na lateral esquerda. Em 2009, o camisa 22 também fez esta função, mais recuado, e teve bom rendimento.

Agora, fica a dúvida, será que Vinicius Júnior não merece uma vaga no time titular do Flamengo?

Rueda explicou que a entrada do garoto contra o Flu era para ‘oxigenar’ o setor ofensivo do Flamengo num momento em que o time sofria.

-Tivemos excesso de confiança no começo. Depois era buscar alternativo e soluções. O desequilíbrio do Vinicius, buscava oxigenar a parte ofensiva. E depois teve a entrega do Paquetá – disse o treinador colombiano

O jovem de 17 anos evitou falar em ganhar uma vaga no time titular, mas exaltou seus feitos contra o Fluminense. Ele contou que vinha treinando algumas jogadas individuais antes do clássico.

-Tinha de ajudar de alguma forma. Vim treinando muito nesta semana no mano a mano, individualmente, com o Rueda, e pude botar fogo no jogo. Foi uma das melhores partidas (que fiz pelo profissional). Eu prefiro sempre jogar bem e sair com a vitória. Fui feliz acertando quase todos os lances. Não sei (se posso ser titular). Aqui, no Flamengo, só tem jogadores de alta qualidade, e eu estou ali só para ajudar – comentou Vinicius Júnior.

O Santos anunciou nesta terça-feira que teve um superávit de R$ 79,7 milhões no terceiro trimestre de 2017. O número será descontado após o EBITDA, sigla em inglês que significa “lucros antes de juros, impostos, depreciação e amortização”. O resultado financeiro contábil indica lucro acumulado de R$ 27,2 milhões até o dia 30 de setembro.

As contas foram melhoradas com a venda de Thiago Maia ao Lille, da França, por R$ 37 milhões, além dos R$ 34 milhões como clube formador de Neymar, que transferiu-se para o PSG em agosto após o clube francês pagar a multa rescisória estipulada no contrato do atacante com o Barcelona.

“Os números positivos refletem a política financeira realista adotada pela atual diretoria visando a recuperação econômica do clube. Todos os limites estatutários foram atendidos. Somente em setembro, o superávit atingiu R$ 60,5 milhões, resultado obtido a partir do incremento de receitas de solidariedade e dos acordos realizados com credores, que também irão impactar positivamente nos resultados financeiros a serem consolidados para o ano de 2017”, diz uma nota site oficial do Santos.

O Peixe teve déficit de R$ 43,5 milhões no primeiro semestre. A previsão do Conselho Fiscal era de prejuízo de R$ 31,5 milhões no final do ano, o que não deve mais ocorrer.

Brad Hodge has played his last first-class game after a knee injury ruled him out of what was intended to be his finale against New South Wales in Newcastle starting on Friday

Brad Hodge has played his last first-class game after a knee injury ruled him out of what was intended to be his finale against New South Wales in Newcastle starting on Friday. Hodge struggled with knee soreness after aggravating an existing problem during Tuesday’s FR Cup match against South Australia.He announced his impending retirement from first-class cricket last month after family commitments won out over the desire to add to his six Test caps. Hodge leaves the first-class arena with 17,084 runs at 48.81 from 223 appearances, with 51 centuries and a top score of 302 not out.However, Hodge is keen to play on for Victoria in Twenty20 and one-day cricket and he has not given up hope of making the Australia squad for the ICC World Twenty20 in the West Indies next year. The Bushrangers will reassess Hodge’s fitness next week before the one-day against New South Wales in Sydney.Victoria have also lost Darren Pattinson to a calf strain, while his brother James Pattinson is having his workload managed and will miss Friday’s Sheffield Shield match. Jon Holland, Steven Gilmour and the uncapped left-arm fast bowler Will Sheridan have been included in a 12-man squad.New South Wales will again be captained by Moises Henriques, who at 22 last week became the fourth-youngest skipper in the state’s history. The legspinning allrounder Steven Smith will rejoin the side after a quick trip to Perth to act as cover for Nathan Hauritz in Australia’s Test squad.Victoria squad Chris Rogers, Nick Jewell, Lloyd Mash, David Hussey, Cameron White (capt), Andrew McDonald, Matthew Wade (wk), John Hastings, Jon Holland, Bryce McGain, Steven Gilmour, Will Sheridan.New South Wales squad Phillip Hughes, Phil Jaques, Usman Khawaja, Moises Henriques (capt), David Warner, Ben Rohrer, Daniel Smith (wk), Steven Smith, Grant Lambert, Stephen O’Keefe, Aaron Bird, Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc.

قال توماس كوجو المدير الفني لمنتخب ليبيريا، إنه حرص على متابعة مباراة منتخبي مصر والنيجر الماضية.

ويستعد منتخب ليبيريا ليحل ضيفًا على منتخب مصر في ثاني وديات الفراعنة بفترة الأجندة الدولية الحالية.

وأضاف كوجو في تصريحات تلفزيونية بفضائية “الحياة” عبر برنامج “كورة كل يوم”: “نعاني من سوء حظ بسبب تعرض اثنين أو ثلاثة لاعبين للإصابة في المباراة الأخيرة نهاية الأسبوع الماضي”.

وأردف: “وبالتالي نحاول إعداد برنامج لهم مع تجهيز البدلاء في حالة عدم المشاركة أمام مصر”.

وتابع: “لاعبو ليبيريا يتدربون بشكل جيد ويمرون بروح معنوية مرتفعة، كما وصل لاعب بشكل متأخر من الأراضي الفلسطينية المحتلة وانضم للمعسكر”.

واستكمل: “بدأنا الإعداد بشكل جيد جدًا وأعتقد أن اللاعبين سوف يؤدون بشكل جيد أمام المنتخب المصري”.

واستطرد: “مباراة مصر هامة ويسعى خلالها كل لاعب للظهور بقدرات بدنية وفنية جيدة، وهدفنا الفوز وسنؤدي بأقصى جهد لدينا”.

وأكد: “خطورة منتخب مصر لا تتعلق بلاعب، الفريق المصري متميز وله تاريخ في كرة القدم الإفريقية، مصر كانت في نهائي كأس امم إفريقيا، وخسرت أمام السنغال، كرة القدم في مصر لها مستوى عال واحترافي، ولديهم محمد صلاح وهو من أفضل اللاعبين، ونحن نعرف هذه الأمور جيدًا”.

واختتم: “لا نملك قوام الفريق الأساسي وهذا ليس عذر بالنسبة لنا، لدينا عدد من اللاعبين لا يستطعيون الانضمام للمنتخب بسبب الإصابات”.

Journalist Pete O’Rourke has tipped David Moyes to sign Besiktas striker Cyle Larin in the January transfer window, as he would ‘fit the bill’ for the Hammers, as per GIVEMESPORT.

The Lowdown: Goals drying up

Goals have recently dried up for the Hammers, who have failed to find the net in their previous three games. Their top scorer Michail Antonio has lost his clinical form, failing to score in his last eight appearances in the Premier League.

[web_stories_embed url=”https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/web-stories/west-ham-latest-updates/” title=”West Ham latest updates!” poster=”” width=”360″ height=”600″ align=”none”]

The 31-year-old is currently the Irons’ only senior striker and this has caused deep problems for Moyes, as his once reliable attacking threat is no longer bringing in the goals.

As a result, West Ham are looking to bring in a centre-forward in the January transfer window. The manager has already stated that he will dip into the market to provide the squad with some much-needed depth.

The Latest: O’Rourke tips Moyes to sign Larin

Following Moyes’ admission that he will need additions to the West Ham squad if they are to continue in their push for Champions League qualification, O’Rourke has tipped the Irons boss to sign Besiktas striker Larin.

This comes after the Canadian was linked with a move to the east London club before, and the journalist believes that he could be an ideal signing for West Ham.

Speaking to GIVEMESPORT, O’Rourke said: “He’s a big strong striker who can play right across the front positions as well and that will be attractive to West Ham. He would definitely fit the bill.”

The Verdict: Depth is needed

As the club’s only recognised striker is currently out of form, it is crucial that Moyes is able to bring in an extra attacker in the January transfer window.

Larin has long been tipped for a big European move, even before his switch to the Turkish league. Former Orlando City teammate and Brazil legend Kaká spoke highly of the 26-year-old in the past, saying: “Cyle is a very good player and the third season for us will be great, but I think Cyle can play in a big team in Europe as well.”

Larin has also proven himself on the international stage. In 44 appearances for Canada, he has bagged an impressive 22 goals. This adds to his fine tally at club level; since joining Besiktas, he has made 68 Süper Lig appearances, scoring 29 goals and producing seven assists.

Maybe O’Rourke is right; this could just be the centre-forward alternative to Antonio that Moyes is craving.

Foi o terceiro treino do Botafogo desta semana. E o terceiro sem o lateral-esquerdo Victor Luis, que ainda sofre com um entorse no tornozelo esquerdo. Assim, o mais provável é que o Alvinegro tenha Gilson em seu lugar para a partida contra o Atlético-GO, na noite desta quinta-feira, às 20h, pela 35ª rodada do Campeonato Brasileiro, no Nilton Santos.

O titular ficou mais um dia em treinamento separado, cuidando das dores, mas está entre os relacionados. Se pode ter a ausência do ala, o Botafogo comemora o fato de não ter nenhum jogador suspenso. O zagueiro Igor Rabello volta de suspensão e o Botafogo deve ir a campo com Gatito; Arnaldo, Carli, Igor Rabello e Gilson; Rodrigo Lindoso, Bruno Silva, João Paulo e Marcos Vinicius; Rodrigo Pimpão e Brenner.

O Glorioso está em sexto no Campeonato Brasileiro, com 51 pontos. Depois do Atlético-GO, o time de Jair Ventura visita São Paulo e Palmeiras. Na última rodada, no dia 3/12, o Botafogo volta a jogar em casa, contra o Cruzeiro.

Cricket Australia will let players involved in the IPL make their own decisions about whether to take part

Cricinfo staff15-Jan-2010

Cricket Australia will let players involved in the IPL make their own decisions about whether to take part in the tournament following threats on their safety from India. The Shiv Sena political party has said they would not allow Australians to play in Maharashtra following attacks on Indian students in Melbourne.”At the end of the day those players make their own decision about whether or not they go,” Peter Young, the Cricket Australia spokesman, told AAP. “But we want them to be able to make informed decisions and we’d like to work with the ACA [Australian Cricketers’ Association] to ensure they can make informed decisions.” The IPL is due to begin in March and Australian players feature heavily in the franchise line-ups.The Foreign Affairs Minister Stephen Smith said the final decision on whether players go to the country would rest with Cricket Australia. “They [Shiv Sena] are known to make colourful remarks, and they have engaged in conduct which both India and Australia have been disapproving of in the past, so far as disrupting cricket games are concerned,” he said in the Courier Mail. “But we take any threat to Australian sportsmen and sportswomen … playing sport overseas very seriously.”Player security has been an issue for Australia whenever they are scheduled to travel to the subcontinent. Australia has not toured Pakistan since 1998 due to the safety situation and sends independent security personnel to review arrangements before each trip.”Our policy, as demonstrated over the years, is to only travel if dispassionate, expert, independent advice suggests that it is safe,” Young said. “On those occasions when advice has suggested otherwise, we have not travelled, including when the ICC said Pakistan was safe and our advice was that it was not.”In 2008 there were a series of bombs that went off in India before the Test visit, which went ahead without any problems. However, teams are much more sensitive following the attack on Sri Lanka’s team bus in Lahore, and this week three of the Togo football team were killed by gunmen who targeted their vehicle in Angola.Tim May, the international players’ association chief executive, claimed in the Australian the security situation in India was now as worrying as a year ago, when Mumbai terrorist attacks and a national election forced the tournament to be moved to South Africa at the last minute.”We don’t have to go too far back to the attack on the bus carrying the Togo soccer team in Africa,” May said. “It underlines the fact that sporting teams are very palatable targets for terrorist organisations who want to make a lot of noise and lift their international profile.”May said a franchise had written to a player saying “if you’re scared, don’t come” to the IPL. “That doesn’t do the player any good and it doesn’t do the IPL any good,” May said. “You’d like to think the IPL would realise that it is a reasonable request by players wanting to know about security arrangements.” Australia are also due in India for another seven-match one-day series at the end of the year.

Newcastle United are interested in a deal to bring Samuel Umtiti to St. James’ Park in the January transfer window.

What’s the talk?

That’s according to a report by Spanish publication Marca, who claim that Eddie Howe has identified the Barcelona centre-back as one of his primary targets in the winter market, with the Magpies believed to be preparing a £17m offer for the 28-year-old.

The report goes on to state that, as a result of the LaLiga side’s dire financial situation, Xavi Hernandez is willing to sanction the sale of the France international next month, with Newcastle, AC Milan and Benfica the three clubs believed to be most interested in the defender.

The next Puyol

While it is true that Umtiti has fallen down the pecking order at Camp Nou in recent seasons, making just one appearance in LaLiga during the current campaign, it is undeniable that the £220k-per-week centre-back would nevertheless be a huge improvement on Howe’s options in the heart of his current Newcastle defence – who have already shipped a joint league-high 42 goals this season.

Indeed, in the season following the defender’s £24.6m move to Barcelona back in 2016, the World Cup winner was one of Barca’s most impressive performers over his 25 LaLiga appearances, helping his side keep eight clean sheets and scoring one goal, as well as making an average of 1.9 interceptions, 1.1 tackles, 2.7 clearances, 63.4 passes and winning 65% of his duels per game.

These returns saw the player who Mundo Deportivo claimed “has become a perfect successor to Carles Puyol” earn an extremely impressive seasonal SofaScore match rating of 7.12, ranking him as the club’s ninth-best player in the league that year.

As such, considering the fact that he is still just 28 years of age – entering what is typically the peak age of performance for a centre-back – should Umtiti be able to rediscover this level of form after his potential switch to the North East next month, £17m would very much look to be a bargain for a player who legendary defender Eric Abidal dubbed a “world-class” talent.

ردت اللجنة العليا في قطر المنظمة لبطولة كأس العالم 2022 ، على الشركة المصنعة لقمصان منتخب الدنمارك، قبل انطلاق منافسات المونديال والتي فاجأت الجميع بقميص بتصميم لا يظهر شعار منتخب الدنمارك أو العلامة التجارية لشركة الملابس.

وسوف يرتدي منتخب الدنمارك قمصانًا في نهائيات كأس العالم احتجاجا على سجل حقوق الإنسان للدولة المضيفة قطر، مع قميص آخر ثاني باللون الأسود، تم الكشف عنه يوم الأربعاء، لتكريم العمال المهاجرين الذين لقوا حتفهم أثناء أعمال البناء للبطولة، حيث قالت في بيان لها: “نحن لا نرغب في ظهور علامتنا التجارية خلال البطولة التي كلفت آلاف الأشخاص حياتهم”.

وقال متحدث باسم اللجنة في تصريحات نشرتها صحيفة “ديلي ميل” البريطانية: “منذ فوز قطر بحق استضافة كأس العالم، عملت بجد مع الحكومة القطرية لضمان أن تترك البطولة إرثًا اجتماعيًا دائمًا”.

وأضاف: “التزامنا بهذا الإرث، أسهم في تحقيق الإصلاحات المهمة في نظام العمل، وإصدار القوانين التي تحمي حقوق العمال وتضمن تحسين ظروفهم المعيشية”.

وأكمل: “نحن نعارض ادعاء شركة هاميل بأن هذه البطولة كلفت أرواح الآلاف من الأشخاص؛ و علاوة على ذلك نحن نرفض بشدة التقليل من أهمية التزامنا الحقيقي بحماية صحة وسلامة 30000 ألف عامل قاموا ببناء ملاعب كأس العالم والمشروعات الأخرى للبطولة”.

وأردف: “الدول عليها أن تفعل المزيد دائمًا لحماية حقوق الأشخاص في جميع أنحاء العالم، بما في ذلك الدنمارك”.

وأكد: “عمل اللجنة العليا معترف به من قبل العديد من كيانات المجتمع الدولي، مثل منظمة العمل الدولية والاتحاد الدولي لنقابات العمال”.

وأنهى: “نحن مثل جميع البلدان، يعتبر التقدم في هذه القضايا هو رحلة بلا خط نهاية، ونحن نحث الاتحاد الدنماركي على نقل نتائج اتصالاته الواسعة والعمل مع اللجنة العليا بدقة، وضمان توصيل ذلك بشكل دقيق لشركائه في هاميل”.
