Leeds: Graham Smyth drops transfer development

Leeds United are active in the January transfer window and are ‘progressing’ in their pursuit of new additions, according to reliable reporter Graham Smyth.

The Lowdown: Drameh on the move…

It has been a quiet start to the winter window when it comes to incomings, even though Victor Orta is thought to be after two midfield signings.

However, even though the Whites are yet to get any players through the door at Thorp Arch, it appears as if they are happy to allow Cody Drameh to leave on loan.

The young right-back is set to join Cardiff City on loan until the end of the season, and according to Smyth, Orta is working hard on potential incomings too.

The Latest: Smyth’s post

Smyth, chief football writer at The Yorkshire Evening Post, replied to a fan on Twitter on Monday morning who asked about updates on new signings.

This is what he had to say in reply, providing a positive outlook.

“They’re active. Things are ‘progressing’ we’re told.”

The Verdict: Good signs

Leeds have question marks over 11 players ahead of the trip to West Ham this weekend, so there’s no doubt that fresh faces would give the whole squad a much-needed boost.

You could argue that letting Drameh leave on loan puts more pressure on Luke Ayling and the versatile Stuart Dallas, so another player capable of adding depth in multiple positions like Dallas could prove priceless.

Leeds are short of midfield and attacking options and have a number of defenders injured, so it remains to be seen where the club may strengthen first. A versatile midfielder would be a good starting point, however, time is quickly running out, so Orta could do with making things happen before the weekend.

In other news: Radz and 49ers may now finance Leeds move for versatile ace with ‘great acceleration’.

Heavy fixture list threatens IPL warm-up plans

The lack of breathing space between the Deodhar Trophy and the IPL has left some teams worried that their Indian players may not be available for the pre-season training camp

Kolkata have a new coach, but will Dav Whatmore have sufficient time to get to know his players better?•Associated Press

While IPL officials and the franchise owners are working overtime on security issues surrounding the tournament, the players and support staff are dealing with another hurdle: The lack of breathing space between the Deodhar Trophy, the inter-zonal one-day tournament, and the IPL has left some teams worried that their Indian players may not be available for the pre-season training camp and will be denied sufficient mental and physical rest.The Deodhar Trophy runs from March 6-9 and the IPL starts three days later.”It is unfortunate. We are particularly hard-hit because we are playing the first game (on March 12) unlike other teams who have at least two more days before starting their campaign,” Joy Bhattacharjya, director of operations of Kolkata Knight Riders told Cricinfo. His concerns are understandable: ten of the 16 Indians in his 23-man squad will be featuring in the five-zone Deodhar Trophy, to be played in Vadodara.Before that, on March 2, the Bengal state side play the final of the Vijay Hazare Trophy against Tamil Nadu. The next day, the KKR squad is due to start its training camp in Cuttack and it will reach Mumbai on March 8, with the entire squad assembling two days later.Kolkata have been busy after a season in which they finished last; first, they replaced one World Cup-winning coach, John Buchanan, with another in Dav Whatmore. Locals like batsman Manoj Tiwary were bought during the trading window as Whatmore put the new structure in place. But Whatmore may not have enough time to work with his players.”Most of the other teams have set combinations with stable line-ups. People like us who haven’t been successful have to work hard,” Bhattacharjya said. “Also when and where will our coach get to have a look at first-timers like Manoj Tiwari and Harshad Khadiwale? Our line-up has four or five first XI changes. Even Cheteshwar Pujara, a consistent performer on the domestic circuit, hasn’t played a lot for Kolkata, so he will need to be present at the training camps to understand the team planning. But that won’t be happening.”The BCCI cannot be blamed for the scheduling clash. In fact, the Deodhar Trophy, the annual zonal one-day tournament, originally played on a league basis, was converted into a knockout tournament this year exclusively to make sure the IPL schedule (March 12-April 25) would not be disrupted. The IPL itself had to be advanced by a month in order to avoid any clash with the ICC World Twenty20, to be played in May this year in the Caribbean. All this had a domino effect on the Indian domestic schedule and the BCCI had no option but to come up with a crammed calendar, despite concerns from coaches and players, whose major concern was exhaustion and absence of any time for recovery.Some other teams, though, see the positives in the tournament schedule. Darren Lehmann, team director of Deccan Chargers, said he would be happy for his players to participate in the domestic event. “We are more than happy if our players take part in any domestic event. That will not impact our plans in any way,” Lehmann said. But Deccan had worked hard to work out winning strategies that allowed them to bounce back from being the eighth-ranked team after the first IPL to the title last year.Delhi’s stance is similar. Amrit Mathur, Delhi’s chief operating officer, felt that playing the Deodhar Trophy can be seen as match practice though he acknowledged that some could use a rest. “It actually goes player by player,” Mathur said. “For example, Rajat Bhatia is in the Deodhar squad and that is good as he is playing in a competitive match whereas Dinesh Karthik, who has just finished playing the ODI series against South Africa, after playing in the better half of the domestic season, might’ve have done with some rest.”Some like Chennai are more blunt and say teams have to accept the fact that the international calendar is crammed already and the domestic calendar gets extended as a result. “You maintain your form by playing matches. More than preparatory camps if they are playing the right form of cricket. If they were playing four or five-day games it might have affected the team’s plans,” a Chennai source said.

Cumming lifts Otago to top spot

A round-up of the seventh day’s games of the HRV Cup, New Zealand’s domestic Twenty20 competition

Cricinfo staff12-Jan-2010Otago charged to No. 1 on the points table with a 10-run win against Northern Districts (ND) at Queen’s Park in Invercargill. Otago batted first and were boosted by a late-over blitz from Craig Cumming and Neil Broom, who combined well for the third wicket to lift them up to 160 for 3. They added 92 after Otago looked on edge at 62 for 2 in the 10th over. However, Cumming took charge in the last stages and ended with 56 not out from 32 balls, including six fours and three sixes. Broom had to battle harder for his 41 from 37 balls with three fours and a six.ND were off on the wrong foot during the reply, with opener Anton Devcich departing for 2. BJ Watling succumbed to Yasir Arafat for 20 and Michael Parlane was run out by Nathan McCullum to leave ND at 38 for 3 in the seventh over. McCullum went on to remove James Marshall and Daniel Vettori to finish with 2 for 19. Some lusty hitting towards to the end from Tim Southee got ND to the point where 23 were needed from the last over. But Ian Butler’s pace proved too much and Southee was left on 35 not out.

Rangers: Nathan Patterson replacement claim

Heart & Hand’s David Edgar has shed some light on the kind of player Rangers might target to replace Nathan Patterson. 

The lowdown

The 20-year-old completed his move to Everton on Tuesday, with Rangers set to receive a £16m fee. That would make it the most lucrative sale in the club’s history, surpassing the £12.15million departure of current manager Giovanni van Bronckhorst in 2001.

Patterson has been playing second fiddle to captain James Tavernier, but he has still made 11 appearances this season, including two Premiership starts and one in the Europa League.

The latest

Writing on the Heart & Hand Twitter account, Edgar said: “I’d expect a young promising player as backup to replace Nathan.”

He thinks the signing ‘will be a bit like [Calvin] Bassey’, who arrived from Leicester City as a 20-year-old ahead of the 2020/21 season.

The verdict

It’s hard to say if this is the right move for Rangers. If they bring another top prospect, then the problem they faced with Patterson could repeat itself.

Tavernier is effectively undroppable given his level of performance and output. According to WhoScored metrics, he has been the Gers’ top player this season, recording four goals and 10 assists. At 30 years of age and under contract until 2024, he could feasibly have that spot tied down for another few years yet.

Perhaps it would be better to go the opposite way and sign a veteran who can accept limited game-time but deliver dependable performances whenever called upon.

أكد شريف أبو الغيط المتحدث باسم نادي إنبي، أن إدارة الفريق كان ترغب في عقد صفقة تبادلية مع الأهلي خلال الميركاتو الصيفي الحالي.

وقال أبو الغيط خلال تصريحات عبر برنامج “رقم 10” المذاع علي القناة “الأولى”: “إنبي هو من طلب عقد صفقة تبادلية وتحديدًا محمود متولي مدافع الأهلي، ولكن المشكلة كانت لدينا في النهاية بسبب ارتفاع راتبه، وهذا سيتسبب في أزمة في غرف خلع الملابس”.

وعن مصطفي شلبي أوضح: “الأهلي كان أقرب لمصطفى شلبي وكانت الأرقام قريبة للغاية وكنا في طريقنا لإنهاء الصفقة لكن الأمر توقف، وأعتقد أنه بسبب رؤية المدير الفني كولر الذي له كل الاحترام، ولم يكن هناك أي مبالغات مالية في طلباتنا”.

D. Cavalieri completa 350 jogos pelo Flu: Relembre momentos marcantes!

MatériaMais Notícias

Campeão brasileiro, carioca e da Primeira Liga pelo Fluminense, Diego Cavalieri completou 350 jogos pelo Tricolor na segunda, na importante vitória sobre a Ponte Preta. A marca alcançada pelo camisa 12 no jogo em que o time, enfim, livrou-se do risco de rebaixamento, é mais uma feito do goleiro nas Laranjeiras.

Além dos títulos do Campeonato Brasileiro e Carioca em 2012, Diego Cavalieri, apelidado de “Homem de Gelo” pelos torcedores tricolores, foi eleito o melhor goleiro das competições, respectivamente. As ótimas atuações pelo Tricolor o levaram para a Seleção Brasileira, fazendo parte do grupo que venceu a Copa das Confederações, em 2013, e o Superclássico das Américas, em 2012.

Nesta temporada, no entanto, Diego Cavalieri viveu uma experiência única nas Laranjeiras: foi reserva por opção técnica pela primeira vez no clube. Quem deixou o camisa 12 no banco foi Júlio César – e foi por mais de quatro meses.

O que colaborou para isso foram as lesões musculares e uma entorse no tornozelo direito sofridas por Cavalieri entre setembro de 2016 e fevereiro de 2017. Porém, quando Abel viu a situação do time se complicar no Brasileirão, com a ameaça do rebaixamento, deu um novo voto de confiança ao goleiro.

Na visão do técnico, a experiência de Cavalieri – assim como de outros jogadores mais rodados do elenco profissional – foi determinante para o Fluminense alcançar o objetivo na reta final do Campeonato Brasileiro.

-Se falou muito dos meninos de Xerém, mas se não fosse esses caras cascudos, Cavalieri, Gum, Henrique Dourado, a coisa não ia andar não. Não ia porque eles tiveram que abraçar uma causa desproporcional – destacou Abel, que, em outro momento da coletiva, lembrou de Lucas, Pierre e Marquinho.

Com 350 partidas realizadas desde 2011, Diego Cavalieri já é o 18º jogador que mais atuou pelo Fluminense. Perto de completar 35 anos – dia 1º de dezembro -, o goleiro tem contrato com o Tricolor das Laranjeiras até dezembro de 2019. São 166 vitórias, 75 empates e 109 derrotas pelo clube, com 393 gols sofridos.

Pakistan send out SOS for Younis Khan

Pakistan’s failings with the bat in Melbourne have prompted the teammanagement to send out an SOS for Younis Khan

A final decision on Younis Khan could well depend on how Pakistan perform in Melbourne•AFP

Pakistan’s failings with the bat in Melbourne have prompted the teammanagement to send out an SOS for Younis Khan. The former captain, who haskept a low profile since he abruptly relinquished the leadership inNovember, is believed to be keen to respond and may even arrive in timefor the second Test in Sydney, due to begin on January 3.Pakistan were dismissed for 258 on an unusually docile MCG track, and onlyUmar Akmal and Misbah-ul-Haq batted with any authority against adisciplined and bustling Australian pace attack. That continued a run ofpoor performances in Younis’s absence on the New Zealand tour, wherePakistan relied heavily on Umar as they drew a three-Test series 1-1.But the team management has been keen on getting Younis over since before theMelbourne Test began. After the opening day at the MCG, they called upIqbal Qasim, Pakistan’s chief selector, and said they needed Younis. Sincethen it is believed there may have even been direct contact betweenMohammad Yousuf, the Pakistan captain, and Younis.”They have been very keen on getting Younis over and they called up IqbalQasim after the first day to make the request,” a board official toldCricinfo. “A request needs to be made in writing and the selectioncommittee will discuss and weigh up the pros and cons before the decisionis made.”Younis gave up the post after losing an ODI series to New Zealand in AbuDhabi, claiming that he had “lost command over his players.” It came aftermonths of reported unhappiness within the team over his leadership. Hewent underground immediately after, only to resurface suddenly whileattending a PCB coaching course in Lahore and then turning out,unimpressively, in the Quaid-e-Azam trophy final for Habib Bank.Subsequently there emerged a possibility that he may arrive in time for theODI series, but the frailty of Pakistan’s batting has apparently sped upthe process.Younis’ poor form – also a factor in his decision – remains a concern,however, and the selectors are keen for him to play at least one game ofthe local Pentangular tournament, which is due to begin on January 1,before he comes to Australia. Since making a triple-hundred on a lifelesstrack in Karachi in February, he has scored 131 runs in four Tests. His ODI form has also been wobbly.But his experience and track record at No.3 – a particularlytroublesome spot for Pakistan in recent Tests where they have tried fourdifferent batsmen in four Tests – is thought to be crucial in Australia.Not only was he Pakistan’s leading scorer in the last Test series here, heenjoyed a successful stint with South Australia last season.”Younis has been contacted and there is a chance that Yousuf has alsocontacted him directly,” said the official. “He has said that he is fitand ready to go, but will stand by whatever process the selectors put inplace for his return.”That process would appear to depend on how Pakistan ultimately fare inMelbourne. A loss could mean that there is a “70-80%” chance of Younismaking it in time for Sydney. If they somehow escape with a draw he couldarrive in time for the final Test in Hobart, having played at least onePentangular match in the interim. The call-up would also entail a currentmember of the squad returning to Pakistan, and it could possibly be one of thefast bowlers.A final decision could also be taken as early as tomorrow, depending onthe situation of the Test.
