In a move that was widely expected, Yawar Saeed has stepped down as manager of the Pakistan team, the PCB said in a statement today

ESPNcricinfo staff27-Sep-2010

Yawar Saeed has stepped down as manager of the Pakistan team, as had been widely expected. The PCB announced in a brief statement that Saeed had asked the board chairman to be relieved of his duties and that Ijaz Butt had agreed.Saeed had indicated several times that Pakistan’s long tour of England would be his last. During the tour the team played two Twenty20s and two Tests against Australia, and four Tests, two Twenty20s and five ODIs against England.The tour began well, with Pakistan splitting the Tests against Australia, but became troubled following accusations of spot-fixing against Pakistan captain Salman Butt, and fast bowlers Mohammad Amir and Mohammad Asif, on the last day the Lord’s Test. All three have been provisionally suspended by the ICC while it investigates the allegations.The relationship between the PCB and the ECB deteriorated over the course of the tour, culminating in the ECB threatening to take legal action over comments made by Ijaz Butt that appeared to accuse the England side of fixing as well.Saeed, whose father Mian Mohammad Saeed was Pakistan’s first-ever captain in their unofficial matches before they received Test status, has been manager of several Pakistan sides over the years, most recently last year, when he stepped down after the Champions Trophy. At the time there was speculation of differences between him and the then captain Younis Khan. But eventually, after the disastrous tour of Australia earlier this year, Saeed was convinced to return at Ijaz Butt’s request. Normally, managerial appointments are made by the PCB on a tour by tour basis and no longer than that.

Tottenham Hotspur are interested in a deal to bring Denzel Dumfries to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the summer transfer window.

What’s the talk?

That’s according to a report by Italian publication Tuttosport (via Sport Witness), who claim that Fabio Paratici has already made contact with Giuseppe Marotta to inform the Inter Milan chief of Tottenham’s interest in signing the 26-year-old, who is reported to be available for around €40m (£33m) this summer.

[snack-amp-story url= “https://www.footballfancast.com/web-stories/read-the-latest-spurs-news-transfer-rumours-gossip-martinez-dybala-spence-conte-2” title= “Read the latest Spurs news!”]

However, the report goes on to state that Bayern Munich have also contacted Inter concerning a deal for the Netherlands international, something which would suggest Spurs will have a fight on their hands if they are to land the wing-back this summer.

Conte can axe Emerson with Dumfries

Considering how impressive Dumfries has been for Inter following his €14m (£11.5m) move from PSV Eindhoven last summer, coupled with how underwhelming Emerson Royal has been for Spurs since his £25m switch from Barcelona in the same window, it is easy to see why Antonio Conte would be keen on a deal for the 26-year-old.

Indeed, over his 28 Serie A appearances this season, the £33m-rated wing-back has been in fantastic form for Simone Inzaghi’s side, scoring four goals, registering five assists and creating five big chances for his teammates, as well as taking an average of one shot and making 0.8 key passes per game.

The £51k-per-week defender has also impressed in metrics more typical of his role, helping the Nerazzurri keep seven clean sheets, in addition to making an average of 0.2 interceptions, 0.9 tackles, 0.6 clearances and winning 3.8 duels – at a success rate of 53% – per fixture.

These returns have seen the player who Siavoush Fallahi dubbed a “difference maker” average a very respectable SofaScore match rating of 6.85.

As such, with Emerson having already been linked with a move away from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this summer, it would indeed appear a wise move for Conte to axe the £42k-per-week player who Stephen Pollard dubbed “truly hilarious” this summer, and used the funds raised from his sale to finance a swoop for the much more promising Dumfries.

O árbitroJoão Batista de Arruda não fez qualquer menção ao possível caso de injúria racial contra Vinícius Júnior, do Flamengo, no clássico contra o Botafogo. Na súmula do jogo, publicada nesta segunda, o juiz relatou que o camisa 20, expulso aos 36 minutos da etapa final, “saiu de campo sem problemas”.

Também não houve menção aos objetos atirados pela torcida do Botafogo em direção ao jogador do Flamengo, quando o mesmo descia para o vestiário após ser expulso. O árbitro, por outro lado, justificou o cartão vermelho direto.

De qualquer forma, oprocurador do Tribunal de Justiça Desportiva (TJD-RJ), André Valentim, analisará as imagens do clássico e avaliará se cabe denúncia por injúria racial. O Flamengo, por sua vez, repudiou o episódio.

Transfer insider Graeme Bailey has now revealed some news involving reported Newcastle United target Nico Schlotterbeck.

The Lowdown: January target

It was reported that the St. James’ Park faithful were eyeing up a move for Schlotterbeck in the January transfer window, but a move from Freiburg never materialised in the end.

[web_stories_embed url=”https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/web-stories/newcastle-news-5/” title=”Newcastle news!” poster=”” width=”360″ height=”600″ align=”none”]

Instead, they signed Dan Burn from Brighton and Hove Albion, but could be in the market for another central defender in the summer, as per 90min.

The Latest: Dortmund bound

Sharing his article on Twitter, Bailey has revealed that the North East club will now ‘miss out’ on signing Schlotterbeck this summer, as he is set to sign for Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga:

“Newcastle miss out on signing of Nico Schlotterbeck,” the journalist said.

“Outstanding young German international did have interest in moving to Tyneside, but Borussia Dortmund were a bigger lure at this point.”

The Verdict: Shame

It is a shame that the Magpies have seemingly missed out on one of their targets in Schlotterbeck.

The 22-year-old is clearly a top prospect, having broken into the Germany national team last month, and his performances in the Bundesliga have merited a move to a big club like Dortmund.

He currently ranks as Freiburg’s best performer in the Bundesliga so far this season, and is high among his teammates in terms of average aerial duels, tackles, interceptions, clearances and blocks won per match (WhoScored).

Schlotterbeck would have been a shrewd signing for Eddie Howe and his team, but it looks like they will have to advance further in the long-term project if they are to beat big clubs to their respective targets.

Leicestershire have been plunged into a new crisis with the news that Tim Boon, their senior coach, is to leave the club

George Dobell14-Sep-2010

Leicestershire have been plunged into a new crisis after it was confirmed that Tim Boon, the head coach, will leave the club at the end of the seasonESPNcricinfo understands that Boon will shortly be appointed as England U19 coach. It will mean that Leicestershire have lost their chief executive (David Smith), their chairman of cricket (Paul Haywood) and now their senior coach within a matter of weeks. All three are known to have expressed grave reservations over the continuing involvement of Neil Davidson as chairman of the club.His position had seemed untenable for some weeks. He was recently one of the signatories of a letter – purporting to be from the entire playing and coaching staff at Grace Road – asking for Davidson to resign or for him to be removed by the Leicestershire CCC board. Boon’s position was subsequently described as “unsustainable” by Davidson.The news will come as a blow to Leicestershire’s coterie of talented young players, however. Boon has an excellent reputation of developing emerging talent and has been credited for his role in the emergence of James Taylor, Nathan Buck and Josh Cobb.Matthew Hoggard, the Leicestershire captain who was the co-signatory of the letter calling for Davidson’s removal, may also feel he has lost a key ally.Boon’s departure will increase the pressure on Davidson, however. A group of disaffected Leicestershire members have already called for a Special General Meeting to discuss the events leading to the departure of Smith as chief executive and to call a vote of no confidence in the board. Their concerns will only have been heightened by news of Boon’s departure.Boon has previously coached England at U17 and U19 level and was the England assistant coach under Duncan Fletcher. He became senior coach at Grace Road at the start of 2006.

Hampshire have confirmed that Kevin Pietersen won’t be selected for the Friends Provident t20 semi-final against Essex on Saturday despite being made available for county duty by the England coach Andy Flower

Andrew McGlashan09-Aug-2010

Kevin Pietersen has wished his Hampshire colleagues the best of luck for their Friends Provident t20 semi-final against Essex on Saturday, after the county confirmed he won’t be selected for the showpiece finals day at the Rose Bowl, despite being one of four England players made available for county duty by the England coach Andy Flower.In a statement, Hampshire confirmed that the club’s policy regarding Pietersen remains the same as when they declined to select him for a CB40 match against Kent last month, a move that stemmed from his comments earlier in the season, in which he confirmed he’d be leaving Hampshire when his contract expires at the end of the summer. He said the commute from his home in Chelsea made it impractical for him to continue at The Rose Bowl and Middlesex are currently the favourites to gain his signature.”The decision remains consistent with the club’s policy to stand by the players who have performed well for them in limited-overs cricket so far this season,” read a statement from the county.”Hampshire would like to re-iterate that this is, by no means, a reflection on Kevin Pietersen as a player or as an individual. However, since Kevin has already made it clear that he intends to play cricket elsewhere next season, the club believes the teams’ best interests are best served by selecting those who have performed so well so far this season, many of whom are aspiring England players, themselves.”Pietersen responded in a post on his Twitter page, in which he played down any perceived falling-out. “I fully understand Hampshire’s position in not selecting me for finals day,” he wrote. “I wish them all the best on the day. I will be watching the lads!”Although Pietersen made a significant contribution to England’s nine-wicket victory against Pakistan at Edgbaston his 80 was a horribly scratchy innings which included three clear-cut dropped chances. Another innings before the third Test at The Oval, and in a format that would allow Pietersen to express himself, may have been welcome but Hampshire are sticking to the batting line-up that has impressed in the tournament to date, with the likes of Michael Lumb, Michael Carberry, Neil McKenzie and James Vince all making contributions.”We are very pleased to be involved in Finals Day, particularly at The Rose Bowl,” said Hampshire’s chairman, Rod Bransgrove. “The players who have got the Royals to this point have made their county and everyone associated with the club very proud. We would, therefore, like to stand by them.”We wish Kevin and England all the very best for the future and all their forthcoming internationals. We look forward to welcoming them back to The Rose Bowl for the England v Pakistan NatWest One-Day International at The Rose Bowl on September 22.”Hampshire’s opponents in the semi-final, Essex, will have Alastair Cook available after he was also made available but that also poses some interesting selection questions. Cook would open the batting, but the combination of Mark Pettini and Ravi Bopara have proved successful in his absence and Cook’s current form is woeful after a tough time against Pakistan.However, Nottinghamshire are unlikely to have any issues including Stuart Broad and Graeme Swann in their starting line-up against Somerset for the other semi-final. Swann was named Man-of-the-Match in the second Test against Pakistan after a career-best 6 for 65 in the second innings and Broad also bagged six wickets in the game, although lost half his match fee after hurling the ball at Zulqarnain Haider on the third day.”We will select the best players available to us and Stuart and Graeme will add significant strength to our team,” said director of cricket Mick Newell. “We’ve used a lot of players to get to finals day and everyone has made a good contribution.”I’ll talk to the players who will have to make way for Stuart and Graeme but everyone understands that we will pick the team that will give us the best possible chance of winning the match and progressing to the final.”

Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou was right to reject the chance to re-sign Patrick Roberts for the Hoops.

What’s the talk?

That’s according to Peter Grant, with the former Celtic midfielder stating his belief in a recent interview with GO Radio (via Football Scotland) that, following a report which claimed that the 56-year-old turned down the opportunity to bring the winger back to Parkhead last summer, Postecoglou made the right call on the 25-year-old, as Liel Abada offers more than the former Manchester City forward.

Concerning Roberts, Grant said: “I had Pat as a young man at Fulham. He was a terrific young player. There are things in his game that I feel he’s not improved enough and I can see why Ange probably wouldn’t take him back – because it’s more about the team ethic at this moment in time.

“Young Abada’s gone in and done terrifically well. He’s more productive in terms of goals and he’s probably looked at that. It’s easy to say somebody’s got the talent, and Pat’s no doubt got that. I think it was £10m we sold him to Manchester City for.

“But the thing for us was that Pat needed to go out and play. Was he going to play at Manchester City? No, I don’t think that was going to be the case but the loan process was going to work fantastically well for him. He’s a Celtic-type of player but do they need him at this time? I think Ange has made the right call to be perfectly honest.”

Ange hit the jackpot on Roberts

As Grant suggests, Postecoglou’s decision to sanction the £3.4m signing of Abada ahead of making a move for Roberts very much looks to be a call which saw the Cektuc manager hit the jackpot, as the two players’ careers could not be heading in more contrasting directions.

Indeed, after being rejected by the Hoops, the £1.35m-rated Roberts was shipped out on loan to Ligue 1 side Troyes, where he made just two appearances before returning to Manchester City in January.

Subsequently, the 25-year-old was given the green light to join English League One side Sunderland on a free transfer – a fry cry from his £11m move to City back in 2015. At the Stadium of Light, the former England under-20 international, who was previously nicknamed the “mini Messi”, has struggled once again, so far having made nine appearances for the Black Cats and scored just one goal.

In contrast, since Abada’s move to Parkhead last summer, the £4.05m-rated sensation has scored 14 goals and registered 11 assists over his 48 appearances in all competitions. That form has already seen the Israel under-21 international linked with a summer switch to Crystal Palace.

As such, it is clear to see that Postecoglou made the right call on both Roberts and Abada, as it seems as if the former may well be a player who fails to ever go on to reach his potential.

AND in other news: Ange must now seal Celtic deal for “magic” £21.5k-p/w ace, he’s an “absolute dream”

Connor Goldson is perfectly content at Rangers despite the uncertainty around his contract, transfer expert Pete O’Rourke has told Give Me Sport. 

The lowdown

Goldson is into the final six months of his £27,000-per-week deal and so, as it stands, he’ll be leaving Ibrox on a free transfer come the end of the season.

He’s been at Rangers for around three and a half years, having joined from Brighton and Hove Albion in the summer of 2019 for £3.06million.

It was reported in the autumn that West Ham United were one of the sides monitoring Goldson’s situation.

The latest

O’Rourke feels that Goldson has enjoyed his spell at Rangers up to now and wouldn’t move on account of being unsettled.

“I think he is quite happy at Rangers,” he said (via GMS). “He’s had a good time up there as well.”

Ross Wilson is holding regular talks with the player, the club’s managing director Stewart Robertson has revealed, and reading O’Rourke’s update will surely be another boost to optimism levels after the superb win at the Westfalenstadion.

The verdict

First and foremost, Goldson is virtually an ever-present at Rangers. He’s actually been selected for 25 of their 26 Premiership matches so far this season, and six of their seven Europa League fixtures (via Transfermarkt).

So there’s no certainly no cause for frustration on that score.

What’s more, the Gers are in a good place at the moment. They’re only a point behind Celtic as they look to retain their Scottish Premiership title, and they should secure a place in the Europa League Round of 16 after beating Borussia Dortmund 4-2.

Champions League football looks an attainable goal, and the prize money could enable the club to hand out a lucrative new deal to the likes of Goldson (via Scottish Daily Express).

Perhaps the only reason he hasn’t put pen to paper is that he feels as if he’s good enough for another crack at the Premier League, having been named as one of the best players in the SPFL.

In other news, Rangers left this BT Sport man in disbelief.

O presidente Alexandre Campello fechou no início da tarde desta quinta-feira a sua primeira contratação da gestão para o time de futebol profissional do Vasco. Trata-se do zagueiro Werley, de 29 anos, que tinha contrato com o Coritiba até o fim deste ano. No início da semana, o defensor rescindiu o vínculo com o time do Paraná, desembarcou no Rio de Janeiro no início desta manhã, foi direto para o Complexo Esportivo de São Januário, onde realizou exames e assinou com o Vasco até o fim de 2019 – dois anos de contrato. O clube já oficializou a contratação do atleta, que será apresentado nesta sexta-feira em São Januário.

O zagueiro é empresariado por Marcos Casseb. A posição, vale lembrar, é a que mais tem tido atenção por parte do técnico Zé Ricardo e da nova diretoria, liderada pelo presidente Alexandre Campello e o vice-presidente de futebol Fred Lopes. Isso por conta de a saída de Anderson Martins para o São Paulo, no início deste ano nos últimos dias da gestão do ex-presidente Eurico Miranda, ter impactado o setor defensivo do Cruz-Maltino para a Conmebol Libertadores.

Werley não deve fechar o ciclo de contratações para a zaga do Vasco. A cúpula cruz-maltina segue conversando com o empresário de Paulão e o Internacional para um possível retorno do zagueiro. Paulão defendeu o time de São Januário por seis meses no ano passado e segue com vencimentos atrasados da antiga gestão. Para que a negociação avance, há a necessidade de que se equacionem estes valores. Para 2018, vale lembrar, Jomar não seguiu em São Januário, assim como Rafael Marques, ocorrendo as chegadas de Luiz Gustavo e Erazo.

Weley foi revelado pelo Atlético-MG e teve passagens por outros clubes de grande expressão no Brasil: Santos, Grêmio, Figueirense e Coritiba, time que ele defendeu no ano passado.
