Celtic are willing to let Vasilis Barkas leave Parkhead either on a temporary or permanent basis in the January transfer window.

What’s the latest?

That’s according to a claim made by Anthony Joseph, with the Sky Sports journalist revealing in a post on Twitter that, following his exclusion from Ange Postecoglou’s matchday squad against Real Betis on Thursday evening, the 27-year-old goalkeeper does not appear to have a future in Glasgow.

Joseph went on to state that, in order for the club to give themselves the best possible chance of getting the Greece international off of their books this winter, they will be open to sanctioning a loan or permanent deal for the shot-stopper.

In his tweet, the journalist said: “I think it’s fair to say Celtic will also be open to a loan or permanent move for Vasilis Barkas next month – not in the squad [against Betis], suggests he’s no longer in the first-team plans.”

Fans will be delighted

Considering just how poor Barkas has been since making a £5m move to Parkhead back in the summer of 2020, reports that the club are hoping to part ways with the goalkeeper this January is sure to have left Celtic fans delighted.

Indeed, over his 15 Premiership appearances last season, the £2.52m-rated ‘keeper conceded an average of 0.7 goals and made just one save per game. These returns saw the 27-year-old earn a disappointing seasonal SofaScore match rating of 6.79, ranking him as the Bhoys’ ninth-worst performer in the league.

This season, the ‘keeper has found his game-time even more limited, making just one first team appearance since Postecoglou’s appointment at the club in the summer – and that was way back in July.

As such, considering that Barkas is reported to be earning a whopping £20k-per-week at Parkhead, the club simply must do all they can to rid themselves of the goalkeeper in January. While the Hoops will more than likely make a substantial loss in selling him, his hefty weekly wage could easily be put to much better use by Postecoglou in the winter market.

Elbow problem sends him home from India one-day series and recurs in Sydney on Sunday

Self-belief has been one of Brett Lee’s best assets along with extreme speed. Throughout his Test career, which began with a wicket in his first over, Lee has known what was going to happen next, whether it be achieving a milestone or pin-pointing a date for his return from a well-managed injury. This time, coming to the end of an awful year, he is unsure what his body will allow him to do next.The bone spur problem in his right elbow means he will probably face surgery and be out for up to three months, ending his chances of appearing in a Test this summer. Previously he would have accepted the setback with a grimace and headed for the surgeon, physio and fitness trainer to plot a way back.Following his recovery from foot surgery at the start of the year came a side strain that kept him out of the Ashes in the middle of it, and with this latest problem he is starting to doubt whether he will play a 77th Test or take a 311st wicket. His last appearance was at the MCG last December when he limped off to the surgeon.”At this point in time I do not need to make a call,” he said at the SCG. “I still want to play for Australia but that all depends on how the operation takes place and then how the fitness is and how much I want it.” He finds the prospect of not playing Test cricket “scary and challenging”, but as he accepts this injury his mind switches from being desperate to play on to thinking about signing off.Desire has never been a problem before, not when he thought his career was over after breaking the same elbow in 2001, or when he was sitting behind Mitchell Johnson, Peter Siddle, Ben Hilfenhaus and Stuart Clark in the pecking order during the fourth Ashes Test in Leeds. He was fit, ready and shattered when the team was named, but he still wanted to field under a baggy green. Now he craves – and needs – a break.”I have had setbacks before and I can’t see why I cannot come back from this, but I also, to be honest, need to get away from the game for a little while to work out what my future holds,” he said. “I want to have this forced rest and if surgery needs to happen that means anything from six to 12 to 14 weeks away from the game, which would be the perfect opportunity for me to get away from everything and work out what I want from cricket.”He sounded like Shaun Tait when he stepped off the international circuit due to mental and physical exhaustion caused by the depression of so many comebacks. It won’t just be care for Lee’s 33-year-old body that will be needed over the next couple of months.Another issue pecking at him has been being away from his young son Preston for the long periods demanded of a player wanting to appear in all forms of the game. Since the start of last year’s India tour Lee has been troubled by personal problems as well as fitness ones.”The hardest things for me over the past 12 months were getting injured during the Ashes but, most importantly, being six months away from my little boy, that has been really tough,” he said. “They are all things I need to weigh up.” Don’t expect him to be flying out of Sydney any time soon.While any comeback will be subject to a number of fitness and family conditions, one thing is not negotiable. “If I can’t bowl fast then I won’t bowl,” he said. His job has led his body to this rickety condition but he has always refused to follow the method of Dennis Lillee, who extended his career by slowing down and focussing on swing and seam.For Lee it has always been about speed. “When you try to bowl 155kph for over 16 or 17 years, there is a lot of wear and tear on the body,” he said. “I will try to get the elbow right.”If I don’t play another game for Australia or play another game of cricket again then yes, I am very pleased with what I have achieved. It’s more than I would ever had expected at the age of 10. But I still think there is a lot of cricket left in me yet, which is why I am not making any call on my future.”

Os jogadores do São Paulo têm repetido seguidamente a meta imposta pelo capitão Hernanes, de atingir 47 pontos para eliminar qualquer risco de rebaixamento no Campeonato Brasileiro. Mas ninguém esconde que deseja alcançar o objetivo o quanto antes para poder sonhar mais alto, e, para isso, o time tentará contra o Atlético-GO, em Goiânia, no sábado, algo que não acontece há oito meses: uma sequência de três vitórias.

A última vez que o clube emendou três triunfos foi em 8 de março, quando venceu o ABC-RN por 3 a 1, no Morumbi, pela Copa do Brasil. Antes, em 5 de março, o time, ainda comandado por Rogério Ceni, tinha goleado o Santo André por 4 a 1, também no Morumbi, pelo Campeonato Paulista e, na fase anterior da Copa do Brasil, impôs 4 a 2 sobre o PSTC, no Paraná, em 1º de março.

Entre aquele triunfo sobre o ABC e o jogo de sábado, terão se passado exatamente 241 dias. Para se ter ideia das mudanças no Tricolor desde então, Luiz Araújo, hoje no Lille, da França, fez dois gols naquela partida (Pratto fez o outro). Dos titulares, além de Luiz Araújo, Breno e Cícero, Thiago Mendes e João Schmidt já deixaram o clube, Denis e Júnior Tavares viraram reservas e Bruno está vetado por lesão. Permanecem no time só Rodrigo Caio, Cueva e Pratto – dos que saíram do banco naquela noite, Wellington e Neilton também foram negociados, e Wellington Nem se machucou e não joga mais pelo Tricolor.

Acumular três vitórias consecutivas é algo tão raro no São Paulo de 2017 que a sequência só ocorreu outra vez na temporada: em fevereiro, quando o time emendou triunfos sobre Moto Clube-MA (1 a 0, pela Copa do Brasil, no dia 9), Ponte Preta (5 a 2, pelo Campeonato Paulista, no dia 12) e Santos (3 a 1, pelo Campeonato Paulista, no dia 15).

No último sábado, Dorival Júnior venceu duas consecutivas pela primeira vez no clube, ao bater o Santos por 2 a 1 – na rodada anterior, tinha vencido o Flamengo, por 2 a 0. A última sequência de triunfos tinha ocorrido ainda com Rogério Ceni no comando, em maio, já pelo Brasileiro: vitórias por 2 a 0 no Morumbi sobre Avaí, no dia 22, e Palmeiras, no dia 27.

Em 11º lugar, com 40 pontos, a cinco da zona de rebaixamento e dentro da faixa da tabela que dá vaga na próxima Copa Sul-Americana, o São Paulo enfrenta o Atlético-GO às 19h de sábado, em Goiânia, pela 32ª rodada do Campeonato Brasileiro. Se não perder mais, o time alcançará a pontuação traçada por Hernanes para evitar jogar a Série B em 2018.

قرر لاعب نادي الهلال والمنتخب السعودي “سالم الدوسري” الرد على التقارير التي اتهمته بزيادة الوزن في بداية الموسم الجاري.

وعانى اللاعب الدولي السعودي من انتقادات قاسية بسبب بدايته في الموسم الحالي حيث لم يتمكن من تسجيل أي هدف مع الفريق الأزرق عقب مرور 4 جولات من دوري روشن السعودي.

من جانبه، قال سالم الدوسري من خلال حسابه عبر “سناب شات”: “أرقى أنواع عزة النفس.. هو الصمت في الوقت الذي ينتظر فيه الناس انفجارك بالكلام”.

سالم الدوسري هو لاعب لا غنى عنه في تشكيلة المدرب الأرجنتيني رامون دياز في صفوف الهلال، وكذلك الفرنسي هيرفي رينارد مدرب المنتخب السعودي.

ويتواجد الدوسري بصحبة منتخب السعودية في معسكر خارجي في إليكانتي بإسبانيا، حيث يستعد لخوض مباراتين أمام الإكوادور وأمريكا، وهو المعسكر الذي يستمر حتى 27 سبتمبر الجاري ضمن المرحلة الثانية من البرنامج الإعدادي للمشاركة في نهائيات كأس العالم 2022 في قطر.

الجدير بالذكر أن سالم الدوسري شارك في 4 مباريات مع الهلال في دوري روشن السعودي الموسم الحالي، ولم يسجل أي هدف واكتفى بصناعة هدف وحيد وسدد على المرمى 5 تسديدات، وقدم 3 عرضيات ناجحة.

كشف الدولي البولندي روبرت ليفاندوفسكي، مُهاجم فريق برشلونة، عن أصعب مدافع واجهه في مسيرته، حيث أوضح أنّ هدفه كان فقط إيقافه بغض النظر عن أي شيء آخر.

ليفاندوفسكي لعب في الدوري الألماني من 2010 إلى 2022، حيث كان لاعبًا في بوروسيا دورتموند وبايرن ميونخ، قبل أنّ ينضم إلى برشلونة خلال فترة الانتقالات الصيفية الماضية.

وقال ليفاندوفسكي في تصريحات نقلتها شبكة “جول” العالمية في نسختها الألمانية: ” كان هناك لاعب اسمه زامبرانو في فرانكفورت”.

وأكمل: “كل ما أراد فعله هو كسر ساقي، حتى إنه كان لا ينظر للكرة، لقد أغضبني لأن الحكم لم يكن يرى ما يحدث، غالبًا ما يُسمح للمدافعين بالقيام بأشياء أكثر من المهاجمين، إنها ليست معركة متساوية”.

وسرعان ما رد زامبرانو على تصريحات ليفاندوفسكي من خلال يومياته في حسابه الرسمي بمنصة التواصل الاجتماعي “إنستجرام”، وكتب: “عزيزي ليفاندوفسكي شكرا لك لتذكرني قليلا مع الكثير من الحب (ضاحكا)”.

وأضاف: “كما تعلم هذه هي كرة القدم يا صديقي، دائمًا نلعب بقوة ونترك حياتنا مع كل عرضية، أنا أقدرك كثيرا لما قدمته طوال مسيرتك العظيمة ومن الشرف لي اللعب ضدك، أتمنى لك النجاح دائمًا”.

كارلوس زامبرانو لاعب بيروفي سبق له أنّ لعب لأندية شالكه في موسم 2009/2010، وسانت باولي في 2010/2011، وآينتراخت فرانكفورت في الدوري الألماني منذ 2012 إلى 2016.

Dale Steyn is unlikely to be risked for the final one-day international against England to ensure he recovers from a hamstring strain in time for the Test series which starts on December 16

Cricinfo staff01-Dec-2009

Dale Steyn is unlikely to be risked for the final one-day international against England at Durban to ensure he recovers from a hamstring strain in time for the Test series which starts on December 16.Steyn missed the fourth ODI in Port Elizabeth after suffering the injury at Newlands when he managed just six overs in South Africa’s 112-run victory before leaving the field. Even though the home side trail 2-1, and can only earn a share of the series, they will resist the urge to rush Steyn back into action knowing the major challenge of the Test matches is around the corner.”For us the priority is the Test series and we would never compromise Dale’s chances of being 100% fit for the first Test [at Centurion] by playing him on Friday,” South Africa coach Mickey Arthur told reporters in Durban. “Dale had an MRI scan yesterday which showed no major damage. It is only a grade one strain, which is minor, and we will monitor him.”Arthur’s cautious approach to Steyn’s fitness is understandable given that Jacques Kallis is only rated 50-50 for the opening Test as he recovers from a fractured rib that has ruled him out of the one-day series. However, Arthur said he was confident that Kallis would be back to full fitness in time for the Boxing Day Test in Durban and even if Kallis can’t bowl South Africa could play him as a specialist batsman at Centurion Park.Without Kallis in the one-day side South Africa have looked unbalanced with Mark Boucher and Ryan McLaren both a place too high in the batting order and they were exposed when the top-order failed at Port Elizabeth.Following their seven-wicket defeat on Sunday, South Africa joined up again a day earlier than planned in Durban but were prevented from having a proper training session as heavy rain fell.

O Flamengo tem mais um desfalque considerável para o Fla x Flu desta quarta-feira, no Maracanã. Sem poder contar com o compatriota Berrío, o técnico Reinaldo Rueda confirmou a ausência de Guerrero, que ainda se recupera de dores na coxa esquerda. O peruano apresentou o problema ainda na partida contra o Bahia, na semana passada, pelo Campeonato Brasileiro e não enfrentou o São Paulo. Ele chegou a treinar com bola na segunda, mas voltou a sentir o incômodo e deixou a atividade mais cedo.

-Guerrero está num processo de reabilitação. Ele sentiu dores na partida contra o Bahia. Ontem (segunda), ele tentou treinar, mas apresentou dores novamente. Segue no tratamento com fisioterapia. Vamos ver como ele reage. Ia ser muito difícil, para evitar o risco de agravar a lesão. O jogador está liberado do jogo – revelou o treinador, após deixar a situação em aberto.

Por outro lado, o treinador voltou a relacionar Vinicius Júnior. O garoto não deve ser titular, mas ficará como opção no banco de reservas e deve atuar no segundo tempo.

-Ele cumpriu sua fase da transição, mas é difícil porque não é a mesma coisa de treino e jogo. Temos um rival contra o Fluminense, quem sabe para alguns minutos, não para todo o jogo. Vinicius está na relação para o jogo de amanhã (quarta) – comentou o técnico.

O atacante Geuvânio, que foi titular contra o São Paulo, nem sequer foi relacionado para o duelo diante do Fluminense. De acordo com Rueda, o atleta sentiu o esforço do jogo no Pacaembu.

-A ideia, a premissa básica é estabilizar a equipe. Depende de características de jogo, somos visitantes amanhã, entre aspas. Buscamos outras alternativas. Geuvânio jogou 45 minutos contra o São Paulo, mas não terminou de se recuperar muito bem. Sentiu o esforço da partida – justificou.

ELOGIO AO RIVAL

Como já era de se esperar, Rueda fez elogios ao Fluminense. O Flamengo vem levando vantagem nos últimos confrontos diante do Tricolor. Neste ano, foram duas vitórias e quatro empates em seis jogos.

– É um rival com muito boa estrutura. Todos se conhecem. Não há mistério. As debilidades e fortalezas de cada um. Vamos fazer jogo inteligente. As posições de cada um vão ser fundamentais para decidir a partida – disse o técnico.

Dermot Desmond may believe he has achieved all that he can at Celtic and is now looking to hand increasing responsibility to his son. 

That’s according to journalist Stuart Hodge, who was speaking to Give Me Sport.

The lowdown

Irish businessman Desmond is the largest individual shareholder at the Glasgow club, but back in March this year, he was compelled to deny any suggestion that his shares were up for sale.

He also insisted in that interview that he was ‘as passionate about Celtic as any other supporter’, and that any accusation to the contrary was ‘contemptible’.

Since Desmond first invested in the Hoops in 1995, they have bagged 16 Premiership titles, 11 Scottish Cups and 10 Scottish League Cups. Under Martin O’Neill, they also reached the final of the UEFA Cup in 2003.

The latest

Speaking to Give Me Sport, Hodge pointed to the 2016/17 season, when Brendan Rodgers led Celtic to one of four domestic trebles without losing a single Premiership game, as the inevitable peak of the Desmond era. He added that the businessman may be looking to pass on his involvement in the club to his offspring.

Hodge said: “In terms of domestically, Brendan Rodgers swept house. It means he has basically achieved everything that he wanted to. He has done an unbeaten domestic season where they won a treble and you don’t get better than that.

“Is his love for it there and is his ambition what it was? I think there are question marks over that. I know for a fact that he’s looking to pass more of the responsibility onto his son.”

Admirar e aprender. Marcos Guilherme relata que essa tem sido a sua rotina no São Paulo. Aos 22 anos, o meia-atacante, formado nas categorias de base do Atlético-PR, diz ter uma motivação além de estar vestindo a camisa do time de infância: ter como companheiros Hernanes, Cueva e Pratto.

– Parece até mentira, mas olhar para o lado e ver Cueva, Hernanes e Lucas Pratto, além de outros grandes atletas do nosso elenco, é especial. Tenho aprendido bastante com eles, porque são jogadores experientes. Nos treinos e nos jogos, os três me aconselham, conversam e ajudam – contou.

Dois desses três já o ajudaram a sentir uma emoção peculiar: balançar as redes em clássicos. Contra o Palmeiras, Marcos Guilherme aproveitou passe de Pratto para abrir o placar na derrota por 4 a 2, no Allianz Parque. No último sábado, em um Pacaembu apenas com torcedores são-paulinos, o meia-atacante encobriu o goleiro Vanderlei, concluindo lançamento longo e preciso de Hernanes, na vitória tricolor por 2 a 1 sobre o Santos.

– É uma emoção muito grande. Fazer gol já é bom. Em clássico, é melhor ainda. Estou feliz pelo gol e, principalmente, pela vitória. Eu já tinha feito um contra o Palmeiras, fora de casa, mas poder comemorar com a nossa torcida foi marcante – comentou o camisa 23.

Com cinco gols em 15 jogos no São Paulo, Marcos Guilherme, que chegou ao clube em julho e tem contrato até o fim de 2018, vibra com a segunda vitória consecutiva da equipe. E planeja ampliar essa sequência diante do Atlético-GO, neste sábado, em Goiânia.

– É um momento importante da equipe. Nosso maior desafio era vencer bem o clássico para manter a performance da rodada anterior. Fizemos isso contra Flamengo e Santos, e agora a nossa meta é seguir com este bom nível e em crescimento nos próximos jogos.

According to reports by The Athletic’s David Ornstein, reported West Ham target Jesse Lingard has decided that he will not be leaving Manchester United in January.

However, ExWHUemployee has responded to this news, claiming that the mooted transfer is not dead in the water just yet.

The Lowdown: Lingard decides to remain at Man United

Ornstein wrote that Lingard has chosen to remain at Manchester United and intends to battle his way into interim manager Ralf Ragnick’s plans, therefore likely ruling out a move in the upcoming January transfer window.

[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”]

This follows The Mirror’s report (via The Independent) which claimed that West Ham are looking to bring in the 29-year-old on a permanent deal in the January transfer window. Lingard has played just 87 minutes of Premier League football this season, having come on as a substitute in each of his eight top-flight appearances.

The attacking midfielder is set to enter the last six months of his contract after talks over a new deal at Old Trafford failed to progress during the summer. However, Lingard looks set to remain at his boyhood club in January, with a move elsewhere proving to be more likely in the summer.

The Latest: ExWHUemployee makes Lingard claim

Despite Ornstein’s announcement, ExWHUemployee claimed on his ‘The West Ham Way’ podcast that both West Ham and Newcastle will still attempt to persuade Lingard to accept a move in the January transfer window.

Taking to Twitter, he said: “It’s a possible option that he was considering. I still think there will be attempts to persuade him otherwise (by us and Newcastle) and hopefully we will succeed but I don’t think he is desperate to go now as options in the summer will be better for him.”

The Verdict: January move unlikely but possible in the summer

It comes as no surprise that the Hammers will continue in their pursuit of the attacking midfielder. The England international enjoyed a fantastic spell on loan at West Ham for the second half of the 2020/21 season, where he scored nine goals and produced five assists in 16 appearances for the club.

Lingard received huge praise after reviving his footballing career, with former Manchester United and Hammers defender Rio Ferdinand describing his stint in London as ‘amazing’.

Despite the Irons’ determination to bring him to the club in January and with Newcastle ramping up their interest, it seems more likely that the 29-year-old will run down his current contract before leaving Manchester in the summer. Where he goes then is the big question.
