Spurs must move Harry Winks on in January

Harry Winks could leave Tottenham Hotspur this January…

What’s the word?

According to The Times, the 25-year-old midfielder is keen to depart his boyhood club on loan in a bid to reignite his career, having played only 61 minutes in the Premier League this term.

He chose not to pursue an exit during the summer, despite interest from top-flight rivals Aston Villa, Brighton & Hove Albion and Everton.

It’s thought that the Englishman is open to a temporary stint aboard in a desperate attempt to try and force his way back into Nuno Santo’s plans – he has been usurped by academy graduate Oliver Skipp so far this campaign.

Time to go

Nuno isn’t the only manager to rarely utilise Winks as he only started nine of 15 league appearances last season, under former manager Jose Mourinho and caretaker boss Ryan Mason.

The £18m-rated ace was a regular for Mauricio Pochettino between 2017 and 2020, also becoming a mainstay in Gareth Southgate’s England squad but his lack of game time and consistency has seen him fall out of the reckoning, on both the domestic and international stage.

Once described as the “perfect” midfielder and compared to Andres Iniesta by the Argentine boss, Winks really would need to impress out on loan during the final six months of the season to stand a chance of getting back into Spurs’ starting lineup.

It isn’t just Skipp that he should be fearing.

The likes of Tanguy Ndombele, Giovani Lo Celso, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Dele Alli are all playing more frequently in the engine room, so you’re looking at him being fifth or sixth choice, and that’s even after the departure of Moussa Sissoko in the summer.

Having seen his transfer value drop in half since December 2019, Winks is certainly at a career crossroad.

The Times have previously described him as ‘stale’, whilst Lilywhites legend Graham Roberts dubbed him “an average player” to Football FanCast in the summer.

As per WhoScored, the Hotspur Way youth product has never managed above a 6.57 average rating in any Premier League campaign since 2016/17, which is hugely underwhelming and some way off the standard you’d expect, especially when you consider his involvement in Spurs reaching the top three in three successive seasons.

It’s time for Winks and Spurs to part ways this winter – sporting director Fabio Paratici must do all he can to shift him on in January.

AND in other news, Spurs lining up swoop for £36m-rated “animal in the box”, he could be perfect for Kane…

Shaw proves a point

England’s vice-captain Nicki Shaw was preparing herself to miss out on the World Cup final when Jenny Gunn, who had been in superior form, admitted to a calf niggle. Shaw, who had been overlooked as England named the same side that had already beaten New Zealand, promptly adjusted her mindset and went out there “prove a point”.It wasn’t just England to whom she gave a lesson, however, as she brought up career-best figures of 4 for 34 and then made 17 not out to lead her side home and on to the podium. A modest Shaw, named Player of the Match, put her bowling down to luck, while crediting the opening pace bowler Katherine Brunt for building up the pressure ahead of her own spell.Immediately after the picking up the award, a tearful Shaw had said: “I started the day crying, I finished it crying, but we won a World Cup in between.” She also paused to spare a thought for Gunn, the player she replaced. “It takes a big person to say they can’t play in the World Cup final, so I’m really thankful to her.”Her captain Charlotte Edwards later admitted the initial decision to omit Shaw had been the hardest of her career to date, but when the hand of fate intervened, Shaw grasped the opportunity. And how. “What do we know about selection?” Edwards joked.There was another fairytale story for Claire Taylor. The world’s No. 1 batsman was, perhaps unsurprisingly, named Player of the Tournament for her 324 runs, which included a century against Sri Lanka. But it was the pinnacle of a dream for Taylor, who had been adjusting her entire life for the last eight years in order to achieve the correct balance to allow herself to play so freely.After losing the 2000 World Cup semi-final, Taylor decided to focus more on cricket than work. But having done so, when she then lost the 2005 semi-final, she decided to increase her work and took up the violin once more. In that time her average has climbed and climbed and climbed again.Today’s World Cup final victory was no fluke. While Taylor may have not shown her true best, making only 21, her tournament form helped bring England to the final. Having at last struck the balance – third time lucky – she acknowledged that she has been enjoying her cricket more than ever. It has certainly showed.”I’m just really pleased that it’s all worked together,” she said, “and that’s it all worked so well. I’ve been so much happier over the last two or three years, really, both in terms of my life and the cricket that I’ve been playing. To come into the tournament with a bit of pressure on me, to really perform I’m just really thrilled.”

جونسون: محمد صلاح يقود أفضل هجوم في الدوري الإنجليزي

أكد جلين جونسون الظهير السابق لـ ليفربول ومنتخب إنجلترا، إن الريدز يمتلك الثلاثي الأمامي الأفضل في الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز.

ليفربول فاز بثلاثية مقابل هدف أمام مانشستر سيتي، في كأس الدرع الخيرية، ويعتقد جونسون أن هجوم يورجن كلوب يتفوق على بيب جوارديولا.

وحسب ما نقلته صحيفة “ليفربول إيكو” الإنجليزية، من تصريحات جونسون: “هالاند لم يفعل أي شيء أمام ليفربول، بينما داروين نونيز كان رهاني”.

وأضاف: “لويس دياز لاعب من الدرجة الأولى، ومحمد صلاح الأفضل في الدوري الإنجليزي ويقود الهجوم الأفضل، لذلك أرى بأن ثلاثي هجوم ليفربول هو الأفضل من مانشستر سيتي”.

ظهر نونيز لأول مرة أمام مانشستر سيتي يوم السبت الماضي، وسجل هدف في الفوز بثلاثية بالدرع الخيرية، ليتفوق على إيرلينج هالاند الذي أهدر العديد من الفرص.

Aston Villa targeting Weston McKennie

Armed with a war chest of money after Jack Grealish’s departure over the summer, Aston Villa still seemingly have plenty left in their cash reserves.

They signed multiple players over the summer in a bid to replace the £100m exit of their former star player but there is still work to be done in order to take the Villans to the next level.

What’s the word?

One player who has been on Dean Smith’s radar for a while is Juventus midfielder Weston McKennie.

The midfielder is valued at £22.5m via Transfermarkt and has attracted plenty of suitors in the Premier League.

Villa were keen on McKennie over a month ago and now they are considering another bite of the cherry in January.

That’s according to The Sun who suggests that they could join Tottenham and West Ham in the race for the 23-year-old.

Lange could strike gold

Johan Lange and Christian Purslow’s plan to replace Grealish over the summer was a smart one. They brought in three players; Emi Buendia, Leon Bailey and Danny Ings in a bid to replace the England international’s best qualities.

While McKennie is a different sort of threat, there are some underlying attributes that fit the bill.

A gifted box to box midfielder, he is tricky in possession of the ball and knows how to arrive late in the penalty area to score goals.

Whether it’s tackling, intercepting, acting as a supply line for his teammates or finding the net, McKennie has a lot going for him.

Last term, the Juve gem had a hand in seven Serie A goals while providing a stable foundation from a deep-lying position with 1.9 tackles per match in the Champions League a stand out statistic.

He is very much comparable to John McGinn, Villa’s current box to box maestro.

Although Smith doesn’t necessarily need a replacement, the thought of the two lining up alongside each other in central areas is an exciting one. After all, in the words of David Wagner, McKennie is an “outstanding talent.”

Also hailed as a “rock” by Andrea Pirlo, the midfielder is a player blessed with heaps of potential and has all of the required attributes to thrive in the Premier League.

He is strong, delicate in possession and can score goals. It’s easy to see why Lange could strike gold by luring him to the Midlands in January.

AND in other news, Dean Smith could seal dream Villa midfield with “absolutely phenomenal” £75k-p/w beast…

Levir não pretende poupar antes da Libertadores e elogia elenco do Peixe

MatériaMais Notícias

O Santos volta a campo no domingo, contra o Avaí, pela 19ª rodada do Brasileirão, mas já pensa no jogo de volta das oitavas de final da Libertadores, que será no dia 10 de agosto, contra o Atlético-PR, na Vila Belmiro. No entanto, o técnico Levir Culpi não pensa em poupar no fim de semana.

Além disso, para a próxima rodada, o treinador não poderá contar com David Braz e Lucas Lima, ambos suspensos.

Em compensação, o treinador tem cada vez mais jogadores à disposição que estão deixando o departamento médico. Nesta semana, Renato, Zeca e Kayke voltaram a campo e entraram na vitória por 3 a 2 sobre o Flamengo.

Para Levir, Flamengo e Grêmio têm um elenco superior ao do Peixe, mas acredita que seus comandados podem crescer na temporada.

-Temos que ter consciência de que nos últimos jogos o Grêmio e o Flamengo mostraram que o conjunto está em outro nível, no conjunto estamos um pouco atrás ainda. Com os que estão voltando do departamento médico, podemos construir um time para superar esses adversários – pontuou.

O Alvinegro venceu o jogo de ida das oitavas de final da Libertadores por 3 a 2, em Curitiba.Para se classificar, o Atlético-PR terá que vencer por dois ou mais gols de diferença, ou então por um, desde que marque ao menos quatro gols (4 a 3 ou 5 a 4, por exemplo). Caso devolva o 3 a 2, a disputa será nos pênaltis e qualquer empate levará o Santos às quartas.

Jacob Oram, the New Zealand allrounder, has said he will pull out of the IPL if he does not recover from his Achilles tendon injury before the first-class championship game starting April 5.Oram was excluded from the New Zealand squad for the three-Test series against India after the selectors felt he had not yet regained complete match fitness. He played for Central Districts against Canterbury last week but could not bowl in the second innings because of pain in his foot. He was advised to miss his team’s ongoing match against Auckland but said he was “pretty confident” of making the final. Central Districts and Auckland will meet for the final in Lincoln.”I can understand people thinking I’m cotton-woolling myself but I’ll definitely take myself out [of the IPL] if I don’t get through the final,” Oram told the . “I’m pretty confident I will make the final and I won’t be tiptoeing through five days of cricket. I’m going to hit it hard, and deep down I think I’ll be okay.”He said he had played against Canterbury to see if he could speed up his return to the Test side for the Napier Test. “… clearly I wasn’t ready. The injury is back again but it’s not a train smash, I’m not back to square one but it’s a setback. It’s more like two steps forward, one step back.”Oram was keen to return to be part of the IPL – he is a member of the Chennai Super Kings squad – and the World Twenty20 that follows immediately after in June. “The next two to three months are massive for me. I want to be part of both of those. Watching the guys play the first two Tests against India has been bloody tough on me. It’s very hard, emotional at times. Believe me I want to get back more than anyone realises.”

CBF aprova melhorias de segurança das cabines de imprensa em São Januário

MatériaMais Notícias

O Vasco conseguiu a aprovação da CBF nas melhorias feitas em São Januário para dar mais segurança para as cabines de imprensa. Assim, a entidade enviou um ofício ao Superior Tribunal de Justiça Desportiva (STJD) dizendo que realizou uma vistoria no estádio e que o clube solucionou o problema envolvendo a proximidade entre as arquibancadas e o local onde fica os jornalistas.

Esse foi um dos principais motivos que fez o STJD interditar São Januário. Isso porque, na confusão após o clássico contra o Flamengo, pelo Brasileirão, alguns torcedores invadiram cabines, ameaçaram e até agrediram jornalistas.

Para resolver a questão, o Cruz-Maltino colocou uma cerca para que os torcedores não tenha fácil acesso às cabines. A CBF informou no documento enviado ao STJDque a obra promovida pelo clube atende a recomendação oriunda do relatório emitido em 20 de julho de 2017.

Vale lembrar que São Januário também está interditado por 180 dias a pedido do Ministério Público do Rio de Janeiro. O clube também vai precisar apresentar laudos de segurança para conseguir a liberação no órgão.

Além disso, nesta quinta-feira será julgado no Pleno do STJD o recurso do caso que aconteceu no estádio.Tanto a Procuradoria quanto o Vasco entraram com os pedidos – o primeiro quer que a pena aumente (em um máximo de 25 perdas de mando) e o segundo quer uma redução.
