Matt Woosnam discusses Crystal Palace’s transfer strategy

Part of Crystal Palace’s transfer strategy this summer will include bringing in a couple of players on loan, The Athletic’s Matt Woosnam has revealed.

Palace recently secured the services of Marc Guehi from Chelsea and it looks like they could turn to the west London club once again as they aim to bolster their squad further.

According to The Athletic, there has been persistent interest in midfielder Conor Gallagher and Palace are now attempting to bring in the 21-year-old in what would likely be a loan deal.

Speaking to FFC about Palace’s summer, Woosnam said:

“In terms of who they actually get, I would expect there to be at least one loan, maybe two.

“They always seem to sort of take that option up of bringing someone in on loan. It’s a bit more flexible than buying them.”

From Gallagher’s perspective, joining a side like Palace makes a lot of sense.

Last season, the England U21 international played a lot of football during his loan spell with West Brom. In total, he made 32 appearances, scoring two goals in the process.

After having a good taste of Premier League football, Gallagher will surely want to get out again and play rather than settle for Chelsea’s bench, which would be the likely scenario given Thomas Tuchel already has the likes of N’Golo Kante and Jorginho.

Harmison overcomes Test debut nervousness

England fast bowler Steve Harmison believes things can only improve after he boosted his confidence with two wickets in the second Test.

Stephen Lamb10-Aug-2002England fast bowler Steve Harmison believes things can only improve after he boosted his confidence with two wickets in the second Test.”I was very nervous on the first day and I was just starting to come around when the bad light came in,” explained Harmison. “I was just pleased not to go for too many runs on the first day because I would have lost confidence.”I was able to relax a bit more yesterday and get into the feel of the game – at times the ball held up in my hand a little bit and wasn’t coming out as itshould do so there’s still a little bit more in me.””I think in the second innings I can come out and bowl somewhere near where Ido when I’m confident. The first four overs I bowled weren’t very good on the first day and if I had gone for a few runs the confidence would have gone down from there.”But we spoke before the start about being disciplined and bowled in channels, bowled to a plan – we bowled below par as a team. We’ve all bowled spells really well, but I think the Indian batsmen will be really pleased with the score they’ve got.”It’s still unclear whether Dominic Cork will bowl again in the Test after he injured his right knee attempting a run-out on the opening day and was unable to field yesterday.To India’s relief, Match referee Clive Lloyd said he would not be taking any action against the Indian captain Sourav Ganguly, who shook his head at umpireRussell Tiffin after he was given out caught behind for 68 off Matthew Hoggardwhen the ball appeared to brush his forearm.

Scoreboard operator Chris Bass explains the over rate situation

Chris Bass the Somerset scoreboard operator has recently sent me the following article to help to explain the over rates as they apply to the different competitions that Somerset take part in

Richard Walsh04-Aug-2002Chris Bass the Somerset scoreboard operator has recently sent me the following article to help to explain the over rates as they apply to the different competitions that Somerset take part in.’No doubt the subject of over rates is still in the minds of Somerset supporters in the light – or perhaps it should be the ‘dark’ – of the home NUL match with Glamorgan on Sunday 30 June.This closely contested match ended in confusion, if not chaos when, at the start of the final over, the umpires awarded 6 penalty runs against Somerset for their slow over rate.This immediately halved Glamorgan’s target of 12 to win down to 6.The umpires were carrying out their duty to the letter, strictly adhering to the regulations and, forgiving the old cliché, they are the ‘sole arbitersof fact’.Only the umpires, therefore, decide the time allowances forinjuries, ball retrievals and other stoppages. No time allowance is made for fall of wickets in this competition, unlike Championship matches.Normal hours of play in the NUL are 1.00 to 7.10 pm, one hour earlier in September. There is a strict time allowance for the fielding side to complete its overs, normally 45.The batting side is awarded 6 penalty runs for each over not bowled before the deadline.The fielding side captain is told by the umpires at the start of the innings and after all interruptions in play what the deadline is for the completion of his team’s overs.The umpires are also supposed to keep the captain informed of any extra time allowances as and when they occur.Also, in all reduced overs NUL matches, the fielding team are given one over’s ‘leeway’.In Championship matches, a minimum of 16 overs must be bowled per hour. Here, an allowance of 2 minutes per wicket is allowed, also additional time for injuries, balls having to be fished out of the river, etc.For each over short of the required number, the fielding side are docked ¼ (0.25) of a Championship point. However, if the rate is behind the target after the 1st innings, it can always be put right in the 2nd.The County Ground message board displays the over rate at or near the start of each session of play and more frequently if it slips below the required rate.This is transmitted by a simple plus or minus figure.’Thanks Chris I am sure that all of the website readers will find that very useful information.

Zé Ricardo vê empate justo, mas admite que Fla deixou a desejar no segundo tempo

MatériaMais Notícias

O Flamengo deixou a desejar no empate de 1 a 1 com o Volta Redonda, nesta quarta-feira, em Volta Redonda. Consciente disso, o técnico Zé Ricardo não gostou do segundo tempo da sua equipe, mas viu a igualdade no placar como “justa”. O treinador lembra que o Rubro-Negro ainda não está classificado para a semifinal da Taça Rio e tem um clássico contra o Fluminense no próximo domingo, em Cariacica.

– Nós precisamos de um resultado contra o Fluminense. O Botafogo pode chegar. Então, fica tudo para a última rodada. No Carioca, estamos numa situação mais confortável, viemos para vencer a partida, mas infelizmente nos comportamos bem só no primeiro tempo, deixamos a desejar no segundo. O empate foi justo – disse o treinador, que gostou do primeiro tempo do Rubro-Negro.

-A primeira etapa me agradou bastante. Numa maior pressão do Volta Redonda, que já era esperada, conseguimos botar a bola no chão. Mas tivemos controle do jogo, tivemos boas oportunidades e fizemos os gols. Mas no segundo tempo perdemos gols… Tivemos Mancuello e Cafu substituídos por lesão. Eles tiveram que ser substituídos. Nós deixamos a desejar. Os jogadores têm boa imposição na bola aérea do Volta Redonda. Depois abrimos o meio, com dois homens de frente e acabamos abrindo a defesa. Ficou um pouco descaracterizado. Gostei muito do Cuéllar, mostrou que pode ser importante. Gostei também do ritmo do Léo Duarte, do Donatti… Foi um ponto positivo, mas fico um pouco chateado pela vitória que não veio – ponderou o técnico do Flamengo.

O Fluminense levou a melhor contra o Flamengo na final da Taça Guanabara e ainda luta pela classificação para a semifinal da Taça Rio. O treinador rubro-negro vê muitas qualidades no adversário.

-Acredito que vai ser um grande jogo. Dependendo dos outros resultados, esse jogo definirá nossa classificação. O Fluminense tem características importantes no futebol de hoje. É rápido na frente, por isso temos que tomar todos os cuidados. Vamos tentar classificar em primeiro para pegar o segundo do outro grupo – afirmou.

Rangers fans praise Calvin Bassey v Arsenal

Many Glasgow Rangers fans were delighted with the performance of Calvin Bassey against Arsenal as the Gers drew 2-2 at Ibrox on Saturday.

The Gers were in action in their third pre-season match of the summer as they hosted the Gunners in front of 2,000 supporters at their home stadium (rangers.co.uk). They twice took the lead as Leon Balogun and Cedric Itten found the back of the net, but Nuno Tavares and Eddie Nketiah were both on hand to level things up for Mikel Arteta’s visitors.

With Borna Barisic currently away as he recovers from Euro 2020, Bassey was selected to play on the left side of the back four. Despite playing against top attacking talents such as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Nicolas Pepe, the 21-year-old did not look at all out of place in the back four, which will have impressed Steven Gerrard.

Indeed, he produced a timely goal-line clearance to deny Aubameyang just before half-time, along with having a shot of his own shortly after the interval (rangers.co.uk).

These Gers supporters were delighted with what Bassey had to offer and they took to social media platform Twitter to share their thoughts. One Bear even dubbed the left-back an “absolute unit”.

Let’s see what these fans had to say about Bassey’s performance

عمر مرموش: فوجئت بـ انضمامي لـ منتخب مصر.. وحديث الشناوي كان نقطة فارقة معي

اعترف عمر مرموش المحترف في صفوف فولفسبورج الألماني، أنه فوجئ بالانضمام لمنتخب مصر خلال أول معسكر لـ كارلوس كيروش المدير الفني للفراعنة السابق.

وقال عمر مرموش في تصريحات تلفزيونية عبر قناة “المحور”: “شاركت أول مباراة أساسيًا وكانت مفاجأة بالنسبة لي الانضمام لمنتخب مصر، هذه الفرصة كنت أنتظرها وعندما تأتي يجب أن أكون على قدر المسؤولية”.

وتابع: “كانت مفاجأة لي أول معسكر لي في منتخب مصر أن أكون أساسيًا في التشكيل، وانتظرت طويلا للانضمام للمنتخب”.

وأوضح: “من قبل انضمامي لمعسكر المنتخب وأنا أعرف زيزو وإمام عاشور ومحمد عبد المنعم، محمد الشناوي هو ما جعلني أنضم للاعبين بشكل أكبر من خلال التواصل والحديث معه، ولم يكن لدي خبرات دولية كافية لذلك كان حديث الشناوي نقطة فارقه معي”.

واستطرد مرموش: “لم أشعر بالتوتر في أول معسكر لي مع منتخب مصر وانضمامي للمنتخب لم يكن مجاملة”.

وأردف: “في ذهني كنت أفكر دائما في إثبات نفسي والتمسك بالفرصة من خلال التألق، وبالفعل نجحت في تسجيل هدف وأثناء عمليات الإحماء سجلت نفس الهدف الذي سجلته مع المنتخب”.

وبسؤاله عن حديث محمد صلاح معه في معسكر منتخب مصر، أجاب: “تحدثت مع صلاح خلال وجبة الإفطار وكان بالنسبة لي إحساس رائع أن أتحدث مع أفضل لاعب في العالم، تحدث معي عن أحوالي في ألمانيا وهل أشعر بالسعادة أم لا”.

واختتم: “صلاح نصحني بأن أعمل على تطوير عقليتي وجعلها أفضل وأفكر دائمًا في الأفضل، وأتعلم منه وأكتسب الخبرات منه حتى في طريقة تناول الطعام والشراب، صلاح من أفضل ثلاثة لاعبين في العالم ولا بد من الاستفادة منه وأتعلم الكثير من صلاح وأتمنى أن أسير على نهجه”.

Dan James linked with Man Utd exit

Manchester United are reportedly open to offers for Dan James in the current window as the club look to boost their transfer budget.

What’s the story?

The Red Devils’ hierarchy are willing to sell the 23-year-old over the coming months if they receive an acceptable offer to sign him, according to ESPN.

It’s claimed that the Glazer family have given manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer a £100m transfer kitty this summer, but that figure could be topped up by funds raised by the departures of any unwanted first team players.

He’s not good enough

James made a strong start to his United career, scoring three goals in his first four Premier League games for the Old Trafford outfit, but he has failed to build upon his early showings. The Wales international has only bagged six more goals since netting against Southampton in August 2019, often coming in for criticism for his poor final ball.

Former Tottenham Hotspur striker Darren Bent cast doubt over the speedster’s ability earlier in the summer after he was linked with a move to fellow Premier League outfit Everton, telling Football Insider: “The only thing about Dan James at times, for me, he’s a little bit headless.

“He’s shown great potential when he first went to United; he played really well, scored a few goals, but at times he for me he’s fouled, or he shoots sometimes when he should pass it, he’ll pass when he should shoot.

“He’s got great pace, and I think he’d be a great addition in anyone’s squad, but when we talk about someone coming in and making a real difference and adding a lot of quality to whatever they’ve already got, I’m not quite sure.”

With the ongoing pandemic continuing to have a serious impact upon football clubs’ finances, selling lucrative fringe players is the easiest way to boost transfer budgets.

Therefore, Solskjaer must brutally axe the £16.2m-rated James, who hasn’t been all that productive at Old Trafford, in order to finance moves for his top transfer targets ahead of the upcoming campaign.

The addition of Jadon Sancho and the imminent arrival of Raphael Varane will wipe out the Norwegian’s reported £100m budget, so securing the sales of players like Phil Jones, Andreas Pereira and indeed James may be the only way to sign a new defensive midfielder or right-back this summer. In the greater scheme of things, the Welsh winger seems dispensable.

Com vídeo e bate-papo, Eduardo convence Borja a 'jogar sem a bola'

MatériaMais Notícias

Um vídeo de dois minutos, com seis lances, ajudou Eduardo Baptista a mostrar para Borja que ele precisava ser mais participativo sem a bola. O técnico do Palmeiras queria ver o colombiano recuando para cercar o volante adversário quando o rival está com a posse, brigando mais pela segunda bola, sendo mais um na marcação. Na visão dele, o bate-papo já começou a fazer efeito na vitória por 3 a 0 sobre o Novorizontino.

– O Borja está aprendendo a jogar sem bola. Hoje (sexta) de manhã eu e ele vimos uma edição de lances dele sem bola. Com a bola não precisa ensinar nada, mas sem a bola ele precisava nos ajudar um pouco mais. Tivemos um bate-papo e ele já melhorou muito – contou Eduardo Baptista.

Eduardo assistiu a jogos de Borja no Atlético Nacional e detectou que o atacante praticamente não participava das ações da equipe quando o time estava sem a bola. O próprio Borja confirmou isso ao treinador na conversa que eles tiveram. Lá, o time funcionava para que ele recebesse em condição de definir. O técnico explicou que no Palmeiras será preciso entrar na sintonia dos companheiros, até para ganhar a confiança deles.

Uma das premissas que guiam a “visão de futebol” do Palmeiras é ter “11 com a bola, 11 sem a bola”. Isso não foi implantado por Eduardo Baptista ou qualquer outro treinador. É uma espécie de regra do clube desde que Alexandre Mattos e Cícero Souza assumiram a gestão do futebol, como o LANCE! mostrou em matéria publicada nesta sexta.

-Às vezes a gente tenta corrigir em treinamento, mas às vezes não fica da maneira como a gente quer. São vídeos curtos que a gente mostra, a gente chama e discute, com o jogador tendo liberdade para questionar. Com o Borja foi assim, com outros também – concluiu Eduardo.

Miguel Borja tem oito jogos pelo Palmeiras e já marcou quatro gols.

Rawalpindi throw away advantage

Rawalpindi were off to a dream start in their National Junior (Under-19) Grade-I Cricket Championship match against Lahore Whites Monday but the hosts ended the day in virtual disaster

17-Sep-2002Rawalpindi were off to a dream start in their National Junior (Under-19) Grade-I Cricket Championship match against Lahore Whites Monday but the hosts ended the day in virtual disaster.After doing a splendid job of dismissing their rivals for just 88 in 45.2 overs at Pindi Cricket Stadium, Rawalpindi were tottering at 83 for seven off 35.3 overs at the close of first day’s play.But Rawalpindi were only themselves to blame as most of their batsmen fell to reckless shots as Lahore bounced back with Imran Siddiqui snapping up three for 31 and Asif Ijaz claiming two for 23. Waqas Zafar was unbeaten on 38 when play ended for the day.Earlier Najaf Shah and Saad Altaf demolished the Lahore batting after they had been put in to bat and both kept troubling the batsmen.Najaf took the lion’s share of wickets, snatching five for 38 while Saad had four for 31.Meanwhile at Shalimar Ground in Islamabad, the home side put on 209 for nine off their 80 overs against Fata who replied with 58 for one in 14.5 overs.Danish Hanif was the top run-getter for Islamabad, scoring a slow 56 that came off 124 balls while Shahryar Butt chipped in with 35 not out.
