Tottenham Hotspur appear to be done this deadline day, according to Fabrizio Romano…

What’s the word?

With less than two hours to go before the January transfer window draws to a close, there isn’t likely to be any more activity in terms of incomings at Hotspur Way, despite being linked with a last-ditch move for Barcelona winger Ousmane Dembele.

“Barcelona president Laporta: “We presented one last option to Ousmane Dembélé”. Tottenham are not negotiating for him – understand Spurs market is now almost completed,” the Italian journalist tweeted late on Monday night.

All but done

This will come as gutting news to many supporters, who are probably waiting up to see any late business before 11pm but that won’t be the case.

Earlier in the day, the club announced the double swoop of Juventus duo Rodrigo Bentancur, who has joined in an initial £15.9m deal that could rise by £5m – also signing a four-and-a-half-year deal – and Dejan Kulusevski, who arrives on an initial loan (£8.3m fee) with an option to buy for £29.2m, via the BBC.

Meanwhile, they have seen a handful of players depart.

Tanguy Ndombele has returned to Lyon on loan, Giovani Lo Celso has also made a temporary switch to Villarreal, Bryan Gil joins LaLiga rivals Valencia and Dele Alli will be signing for Premier League rivals Everton permanently.

It does leave manager Antonio Conte much lighter on options, especially in the final third, where there is now a lack of creative influence, not that either of those names were cutting the mustard this season.

He will also be upset to have missed out on a new right wing-back, losing out on Adama Traore to Barcelona. It’s thought that he doesn’t have faith in summer signing Emerson Royal or Matt Doherty due to their lack of effectiveness in the final third.

Conte could have also done with a new centre-back too as his current options aren’t the most reliable behind Eric Dier and Cristian Romero. That much is evident by the fact that left-back Ben Davies featuring in the back three instead.

All in all, Spurs are done until the summer, so they best hope that Bentancur and Kulusevski can help steer the north London outfit back into the top four this campaign.

AND in other news, Spurs could end D-day with a bang with 31-goal “phenomenon” who’s “better than Neymar”…

Irfan Pathan expressed disappointment at being ignored by selectors, but vowed to work harder and make a comeback into the Indian team.

Cricinfo staff24-May-2010

Indian left-arm seamer Irfan Pathan is extremely disappointed at being left out of the Indian team yet again, this time for the tour of Zimbabwe, despite a consistent display this season. He is confident though that with sustained hard work and quality performances, he will make a comeback into the Indian team.”I really don’t know what to say. I was hopeful,” Pathan told the . “Every cricketer thinks of where he is going wrong and tries to work on his errors. I’m playing well but need to do better. I’m still hoping to make a comeback.”The start of Pathan’s Test career in Australia in 2003-04 promised much. His ability to swing the ball both ways prodigiously evoked comparisons with the legendary Wasim Akram and soon, his batting raised visions of another Kapil Dev. But after this heady start, ordinary years followed and Pathan soon found himself in the lurch. He had lost considerable pace and swing and despite consistent performances in the 2009-10 Ranji season, when he scored 397 runs at an average of close to 50 and picked up 22 wickets, including a five-wicket haul in the Duleep Trophy final, he was overlooked for the Zimbabwe tour and the India A tour of England as the selectors preferred to go with fresh faces.Pathan isn’t very sure when experts point to loss of pace being the biggest reason for his downfall. “But I have never been a 140-plus bowler,” he says. “I don’t know what people are expecting from me. Do they want to see me to bowl at 140-plus and take no wickets? Or do they want to see me swing my way to wickets and give away fewer runs? I was a bowler who could take wickets and perform whenever the team required.”Pathan has planned to work on his fitness for the next few months following the conclusion of the IPL. “At the moment I’m working on my body, hitting the gym. These three months will be crucial as I will work on my pace. It all depends on how I maintain my body,” he says.Pathan insists he has more plans but is reluctant to reveal them. He is hungry to return into the Indian team as it has been more than a year since he was last part of it.”It all depends on how my next season goes, I’m ready to do well again,” he added. “Ready for more hard work, ready to learn everyday, ready to come back.”

Lugano voltou ao Morumbi, mas não ainda ao São Paulo. O uruguaio participou, ao lado de Aloísio Chulapa, Careca e Muller, de uma partida com torcedores no estádio neste domingo. Nos próximos dias, terá um conversa com o diretor executivo de futebol Raí e o coordenador Ricardo Rocha para, enfim, dizer se aceita ou não uma função fora de campo no Tricolor.

A informação da chegada de Lugano ao Brasil foi confirmada pelo empresário do ídolo, Juan Figger, ao LANCE! O agente disse que a viagem já estava programada desde antes de o jogador sair de férias, após a última rodada do Campeonato Brasileiro, em 3 de dezembro, quando o zagueiro recebeu homenagens do clube da torcida no empate por 1 a 1 diante do Bahia, no Morumbi.

Sua presença no Brasil já diminui bastante as chances de aceitar ofertas vindas da Argentina. Existem propostas para atuar em outros continentes, o que não agrada ao zagueiro. Por isso, no São Paulo, a expectativa é de que, nas conversas, Lugano apenas se inteire das novas funções e aceite fazer parte do projeto de Raí para o futebol do clube.

Na hierarquia, ele seria mais próximo do elenco. Os jogadores querem sua presença no cotidiano, com uma missão similar à que Lugano já exerceu no segundo turno do Brasileiro, quando atuou só uma vez, na última rodada, em jogo de homenagem a ele.

وقال مدرب تشيلسي بعد المباراة في تصريحات لشبكة “BBC” البريطانية: “استحق برايتون الفوز، ولم نكن جيدين بما يكفي، كانت لدينا بعض الفرص لكن سانشيز تألق، وعلينا أن نقدم لهم التهنئة على هذا الأداء والانتصار”.

وأضاف: “النتيجة مؤلمة للغاية، الجماهير كانت لها عامل كبير في فوز برايتون، دعموا الفريق منذ الدقيقة الأولى، ولا توجد لدينا أعذار، علينا أن نتعلم من هذه الهزيمة”.

وعن صيحات الاستهجان من جماهير برايتون تجاهه، قال بوتر: “ليس لدي ما أعتذر منه أو أقول آسف لهم، أعتقد أنني قمت بعمل جيد مع النادي وتركتهم في مكان جيد أيضًا، ولكن يحق للناس إبداء آرائهم كما أرادوا”.

واختتم: “عليك أن تعاني وتشعر بالألم من أجل النمو والتحسن، لذلك علينا أن نتحمل الألم اليوم ونتعلم منه لما هو قادم”.

Rangers return to Premiership action today as Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s men look to bounce back from their midweek humiliation against their arch-rivals.

The Gers were hammered 3-0 by Celtic at Parkhead on Wednesday night and now have the chance to return to winning ways against Hearts.

The Ibrox side may have some key selection decisions ahead of him as a number of players failed to impress last time out.

Forget Barisic

Whilst Borna Barisic was hooked at half-time against the Hoops after his dreadful error for Liel Abada’s goal to make it 3-0, the experienced Croatian left-back should keep his place in the side. He is a seasoned professional who knows how to perform at this level and should retain his position.

Barisic has averaged a phenomenal SofaScore rating of 7.26 in the Premiership this season. This shows that he has been sublime for the majority of the campaign and one half of football should not change that.

Instead of dropping him, van Bronckhorst must brutally axe centre-back Calvin Bassey from the XI. The defender has been a liability in the last two matches and it could be time for him to be taken out of the firing line for a match.

The Dutch head coach previously mentioned the Nigerian’s lack of game time at centre-back in his career, saying: “He does not have a lot of experience in the central positions.”

This could be why the £6.4k-per-week dud looked shaky against Celtic after his dismal showing against Ross County in the previous outing. He made a key error leading to a goal in the 3-3 draw and was all over the shop against Ange Postecoglou’s side as he consistently found himself out of position and leaving huge gaps behind him.

Leon Balogun came on at half-time against the Hoops and put in a solid display. As per SofaScore, he won three of his four duels and made two clearances, one block and two interceptions in just 45 minutes as the Gers kept a clean sheet in the second half.

The experienced Nigeria international could be the perfect player to come in to steady the ship on Sunday. Whilst Bassey’s inexperience may cause him to stutter, Balogun – 33 – has a long career behind him and should know how to put in reliable performances, as shown by his cameo in midweek, and could come in alongside Connor Goldson at the back.

Mohsin Khan, Pakistan’s chief selector, has hinted that former captain Younis Khan may be considered for the tour of England next month if the Pakistan Cricket Board gives the required clearance

Cricinfo staff14-Jun-2010

Mohsin Khan, Pakistan’s chief selector, has hinted that former captain Younis Khan may be considered for the tour of England next month if the Pakistan Cricket Board gives the required clearance. Younis got his indefinite ban lifted by the PCB on appeal earlier this month, and he is currently playing for Surrey in the English County Championship.Pakistan are due to play a series of Tests, ODIs and Twenty20s against England and Australia in England next month under the leadership of Shahid Afridi. Younis quit the captaincy before the disastrous tour of Australia earlier this year.”The PCB need to give Younis clearance, in order for myself and my colleagues on the selection committee to consider his selection,” Mohsin told . “I’m hopeful that the board will give him clearance and the selection committee can think about whether we want to include him against England and Australia.”It’s very good that Younis is getting some cricket under his belt in England and we are happy with his progress so far. The signs that we are getting from Younis are that he is ready to comeback to international cricket, it all seems very positive. I believe that he can continue to play for Pakistan for another four or five years.”Younis has played two first-class matches for Surrey so far, scoring an unbeaten 77 against Leicestershire at The Oval. While he has signalled his intentions of getting back to top-flight cricket, Mohammad Yousuf hasn’t yet indicated any signs of a comeback.Yousuf, who captained Pakistan in Australia, was also banned indefinitely by the PCB and he responded by announcing his retirement. Though the door has been left open for his return, he hasn’t got in touch with the PCB yet.”The last I have heard from Yousuf is that he has retired from international cricket. I have heard nothing further,” Mohsin said. “If you don’t make yourself available, then how can the selectors even consider you for selection.”Mohsin said the squad for England will be announced after he meets with Afridi and coach Waqar Younis, who are currently in Sri Lanka for the Asia Cup.”We are scheduled to announce the squad for England on either 20th or 21st June,” Mohsin said. “I’ll be travelling to Sri Lanka and will sit down with Shahid and Waqar and we’ll settle on the squad for the long tour of England.”Pakistan begin their tour with two Twenty20s against Australia, followed by six back-to-back Tests, starting with two against Australia and four with England. Mohsin said team changes will be made in due course depending on the format.”The initial part of the tour of England is focussed on Twenty20 matches and we will select the squad accordingly,” he said. “Once the Test matches start against Australia on 13th July, we will have replaced some of the one-day specialists with players who are more suited to Test cricket. I would expect up to four changes to the squad once Pakistan take the field at Lord’s on 13th July.”

A missão do departamento de análise de desempenho é avaliar jogadores para diminuir a margem de erro na escolha de um treinador ou na hora de contratador um jogador. No Santos, os relatórios de potenciais reforços passam não só pela técnica, posicionamento em campo, números e custos, mas também pelo comportamento fora de campo. Tudo isso faz parte do projeto da diretoria do Santos, chefiada por José Carlos Peres, na reestruturação do futebol.

Apesar da ideia de reformular o elenco, o Peixe mantém lideranças importantes do grupo, como são os casos de Vanderlei, Victor Ferraz, David Braz e Renato. O último herdou a faixa de capitão que era de Ricardo Oliveira.

A saída de Ricardo Oliveira, aliás, foi um dos primeiros pontos da montagem do elenco para 2018. Em 2017, enquanto Modesto Roma ainda dirigia o clube, o estafe do camisa 9 acreditava que teria um salário melhor se negociasse com outro presidente e rejeitou a oferta do ex-mandatário, que propunha um contrato de dois anos. Com a vitória de Peres nas urnas, o centroavante teve uma oferta de apenas mais um ano na Vila Belmiro, o que o desagradou.

Porém, a nova administração do Peixe já não demonstrava tanto entusiasmo em contar capitão liderando o elenco. Durante a campanha presidencial, José Carlos Peres afirmou que não admitiria cultos religiosos dentro do clube. Vale lembrar que Oliveira é pastor e era uma das principais lideranças do elenco entre 2015 e 2017.

-Aqui também vai ter que ter compromisso com o clube. O projeto tem que ser comprado pelo jogador. Não queremos jogadores descompromissados. Vai ter comando. Se quiser igrejinha, vai na igrejinha rezar. As reformas serão sentidas. – disse o então candidato em entrevista ao LANCE! antes da eleição.

Além de uma cartilha de comportamento, distribuída aos funcionários do clube, o Santos acredita que a reformulação na diretoria de futebol deixará os atletas mais próximos da cúpula. Desde a saída do então gerente de futebol Sergio Dimas, no começo de 2017, o elenco deu demonstrações de frustração com a diretoria comandada por Modesto Roma.

A gota d’água aconteceu nas quartas de final da Libertadores do ano passado, quando, ao empatar com o Barcelona de Guayaquil no Equador, Ricardo Oliveira e Lucas Lima reclamaram na imprensa da logística do Santos, que levou 15 horas para chegar em Guayaquil.

Para os recém-chegados, os primeiros passos serão um pouco diferente. Para quem assina contrato e é apresentado, há uma espécie e tour pelo Memorial das Conquistas, onde Odir Cunha, uma das pessoas da linha de frente da chapa de Peres e Orlando Rollo, conta a história do clube e tenta passar o significado de vestir a camisa do Alvinegro. O procedimento pôde ser visto no vídeo de apresentação do técnico Jair Ventura.

As apostas de Peres para representar a diretoria frente ao elenco são mais jovens. Além de Gustavo Vieira, executivo de futebol, William Machado, ex-zagueiro do Corinthians e ex-comentarista de televisão foi trazido para estar mais perto do elenco e ouvir os jogadores.

No fim da temporada passada, outra discussão chamou a atenção. O atacante Kayke chegou a discutir no vestiário com o superintendente de esportes, Dagoberto dos Santos, após um empate no Pacaembu, devido a uma premiação em dinheiro prometida pela diretoria em caso de vitória.

Outra etapa da reformulação foi a demissão de Marcelo Fernandes e Elano, ambos auxiliares que estiveram à frente do time em 2017 e 2017, respectivamente. Neste caso, a opção da diretoria foi dar liberdade e não criar sombras a Jair Ventura. Entretanto, o fator político foi levado em conta pelos atuais dirigentes.

Por fim, o Comitê de Gestão do Santos tenta acabar com as visitas das torcidas organizadas ao CT Rei Pelé, fato frequente no ano passado para conversas com o elenco. No site oficial, o clube publicou um comunicado afirmando que não vai mais distribuir ingressos para as uniformizadas comercializarem. A Torcida Jovem havia feito uma nota posteriormente para avisar seus membros do novo funcionamento.

Também no período pré-eleitoral, Peres havia dito que buscaria uma comunicação com as torcidas organizadas.

-Sobre torcida organizada. Achamos que todo torcedor é torcedor, seja sócio, de organizada, que colabora. Todos serão tratados com carinho e admiração. Organizadas terão cadeiras e banheiros limpos. E mais: vamos chamá-los para ajudar. Se der condição, treinamento, ensinar que respeito é importante. A participação da Torcida Jovem será maravilhosa. Vamos atendê-los como seres humanos. Terão que nos ajudar. Fortalecimento da marca passa por isso. O Santos é o time que tem menos rejeição. A torcida organizada, sem média, terá seu desafio e trabalho. Ingressos nós daremos se trabalharem. Se tiver 100 da torcida organizada que ajuda no monitoramento, recebe famílias, ganhará kit alimentação, ingresso e terá uma carteirinha de voluntário. Torcida tem que ser melhor aproveitada. As pessoas mudam e as torcidas também podem mudar perfil. Não há exclusão. Queremos mudar para melhor – disse ao LANCE!.

Paul Sheldon, the Surrey chief executive, has criticised the ‘frenetic’ schedule in this season’s Friend Provident t20

Cricinfo staff08-Jul-2010

Paul Sheldon, the Surrey chief executive, has criticised the ‘frenetic’ schedule in this season’s Friend Provident t20 and has called for a reduced Twenty20 competition to be fit into a four-week window next year.When it was launched in 2003 Twenty20 cricket proved a major hit with the public but this year’s extended competition, which lasts 151 games, has come under fire from administrators as crowd numbers have fallen and Sheldon is the latest to express his disquiet.”We have evidence that the number of matches in this year’s competition has not increased interest,” he said. “We are strongly in favour of creating an enhanced competition, in a concentrated period of three to four weeks, involving both England and overseas players.”It was not just the diminishing crowds that concerned Sheldon, he also feels that with each side playing so many games the schedule has become cramped and prevents players from preparing fully for their matches.”The competition has been very frenetic with players dashing around the country in very very short order,” he added. “At one stage, we played a four-day match against Derbyshire and then had to start an FPt20 match back at The Oval less than 24 hours later. The time for preparation has really been foreshortened.”We are looking for a shorter, punchier competition. The quality needs to be stronger and the quantity fewer.”

An Everton scout was in attendance for Friday’s Primeira Liga clash between FC Porto and Sporting Lisbon, according to Portuguese newspaper O Jogo (via Sport Witness).

The lowdown

Paulinho and Nuno Santos fired Sporting into a two-goal lead within 35 minutes, but Fabio Vieira and Mehdi Taremi responded to preserve Porto’s unbeaten record and indeed the six-point gap between the two teams.

The game also saw five red cards, with Sebastian Coates dismissed in the second half and four more players – Joao Palhinha, Bruno Tabata, Agustin Marchasin and Pepe – seeing red after the final whistle as a fight broke out.

Planning will be underway for Frank Lampard’s first full transfer window at Everton, with the 43-year-old only officially appointed on deadline day last month.

The latest

A report from O Jogo on Saturday (via Sport Witness) revealed that an Everton official was watching on at the Estadio do Dragao.

They weren’t the only Premier League club assessing the talent on show, with a Newcastle scout also on the scene.

The verdict

Who might Everton have been watching on Friday? One likely candidate would be Sporting midfielder Matheus Nunes.

O Jogo reported last summer that the Toffees were interested in the Brazilian, while Record claimed that a deal was ‘very close’ at one point and raised the possibility that it could happen at a later date. The player himself admitted that the interest from Merseyside was genuine.

Nunes produced a decent showing on the night, completing four of his five dribbles, winning the majority of his 25 duels and making three tackles (via SofaScore).

The 23-year-old, who is valued at £19.8m by Transfermarkt and was described as a ‘quality box-to-box midfielder’ by talent scout Jacek Kulig, may be one for Blues fans to keep an eye on, particularly with the eminent possibility that Goodison Park scouts have noticed his talents.

In other news, a potential defensive target for Lampard has emerged
