Cricinfo staff26-Aug-2009Scotland have made just one change to the squad that took on Ireland on August 22, for their upcoming ODI against Australia on August 28 at Citylets Grange; batsman Navdeep Poonia has been left out.

What is Mark Noble’s future at West Ham?

West Ham legend, Mark Noble, is in the final stages of his career, announcing his retirement from the East London club after 17 years.

The 34-year-old has reached legendary status at his boyhood club, West Ham, with a career spanning 500 appearances, scoring 6o goals and bagging 61 assists for the Hammers in his time.

It has not been confirmed as to what the midfielder intends to do after he finishes his final season with West Ham in May 2022, but David Moyes has shared his thoughts on Noble’s next steps;

“I think Mark has other ideas, maybe a role as a sporting director or a technical director rather than on the footballing side.

“We’re already starting to use Mark in other roles behind the scenes.”

The footballer has become a fan favourite over the years, with his debut for West Ham in 2004, that has seen him a starter for almost two decades, with Noble now taking a more backseat role as a substitute as he sees out the last games of his career.

West Ham have recently had new financial backing from Daniel Kretinsky, who, after securing a 27% stake in the club, is hopeful to take over the entire club in the future and take full ownership.

The Evening Standard reported on the deal and the expectations of Kretinsky’s involvement; “His initial investment will help West Ham pay their debt which stands at £150m and David Moyes is unlikely to spend big in January as the Hammers chase Champions League qualification, though the Scot will be backed to bring in a central defender and a back-up striker to cover for Michail Antonio.”

Noble will surely be interested in continuing to play a part in the new journey West Ham are on, especially after they qualified for Europe in 6th place last season and are now challenging for a top-four spot and a potential title challenge, with the Hammers just four points off the top of the table right now.

Until then, Moyes has suggested that Noble is set to play a big part in the current season at West Ham, as they rotate more players especially around the Christmas period where fixtures will be congested for the club.

The Scottish manager said; “He’s going to have a massive part to play in the period leading up to Christmas particularly, where we will need lots of players for a lot of extra games,”

“I hope that Mark will be in good condition, fit and ready to play, because he can bring experience when he comes on in games. I feel that he can help us set the tempo in certain games.”

Once he’s played his part for the rest of the campaign, it would not be a great surprise if we saw him on the other side of the curtain next term, helping the likes of Kretinsky and GSB to form a better future for West Ham.

Rob Newman will also be involved as head of recruitment but in Noble, a man dubbed “unbelievable” by Declan Rice, they could find a director worthy of finally replacing Mario Husillos in a director’s role.

It’s safe to say that the club’s current captain would have their best interests at heart, and in knowing the Irons inside out, could provide Moyes and co with some valuable information from behind the scenes.

The thought of him hanging up his boots is a sad one, but providing he can still play his part in West Ham’s success from elsewhere, supporters will surely be happy.

AND in other news, Imagine him & Antonio: WHU can start Kretinsky era with a bang by signing £80k-p/w gem…

تقارير توضح حقيقة مفاوضات ليفربول لضم دي يونج

كشفت تقارير صحفية حقيقة وجود مفاوضات بين نادي ليفربول ولاعب وسط فريق برشلونة، فرينكي دي يونج، لضمه هذا الصيف.

ويعاني ليفربول من قلة خياراته في مركز الوسط بسبب كثرة الإصابات، حيث يغيب كل من نابي كيتا، أليكس أوكسلايد تشامبرلين، تياجو ألكانتارا، وكورتيس جونز.

واعترف يورجن كلوب، قبل أيام، أنه كان مخطئًا عندما صرح سابقًا بعدم حاجتهم إلى لاعب وسط جديد في موسم الانتقالات الصيفي الحالي.

وتسببت تصريحات كلوب في ارتباط ليفربول بأكثر من لاعب لتدعيم خط الوسط قبل نهاية نافذة الانتقالات، وعلى رأسهم فرينكي دي يونج.

وحسبما ذكر الصحفي فابريزيو رومانو، فإن دي يونج سافر إلى لندن اليوم الإثنين، حيث أنه في إجازة بناءً على قرار المدير الفني لفريق برشلونة تشافي هيرنانديز.

وأوضح أن سفر دي يونج إلى إنجلترا ليس متعلقًا بالنقل، ولا تغييرات في وضعه بشأن مستقبله.

وأفاد أنه لا توجد أي محادثات بين مسؤولي ليفربول ودي يونج بشأن إمكانية نقله غلى الأنفيلد، مشيرًا إلى أن اللاعب الهولندي لديه خطط مختلفة، حيث يركز على البقاء مع البرسا، وليس منفتحًا في الوقت نفسه على تخفيض راتبه.

Eurico Miranda se pronuncia sobre denúncia do MP: 'Grande sacanagem'

MatériaMais Notícias

Eurico Miranda, presidente do Vasco, se pronunciou sobre a denúncia oferecida pelo Ministério Público na última quinta-feira que quer a sua destituição do cargo, além de toda a atual direção cruz-maltina, além do pagamento de multa. O mandatário é acusado de contratar membros da Força Jovem para trabalhar em São Januário e acobertar episódios de violência no estádio. O juiz do caso deu um prazo de dez dias, a contar a partir desta sexta-feira, para a defesa ser feita e, assim, ser possível de uma decisão ser tomada. Eurico Miranda disse considerar o caso uma “grande sacanagem”.

– Essa barbaridade que inventaram… Esse procuradorzinho é outro recalcado em relação ao Vasco. Não colocaram prova nenhuma. Tenho há três anos um funcionário que foi integrante da Força Jovem. Não existe nessa país algo que impeça de eu contratar alguém que algum dia foi do partido comunista, do partido nazista… Isso é uma grande sacanagem. Eles que provem. Ligação eu tenho com todos, mas não essa que querem insinuar. Não querem saber que eu tenho mais de duas mil crianças na escola do Vasco – afirmou Eurico Miranda.

O Ministério Público cita o fato de um camarote supostamente feito exclusivamente para a torcida organizada ter sido inaugurado pelo Vasco no clássico contra o Flamengo, que terminou com confusão entre os torcedores. Na ocasião, Eurico Miranda foi clicado em fotos junto a membros da diretoria da Força Jovem. O MP alega ainda que, com a atitude, o Vasco desrespeita o Estatuto do Torcedor no que se refere à violência e dificulta o trabalho da Polícia Militar em dias de jogos.

Vale lembrar que em julho deste ano Vasco e Flamengo se enfrentaram em São Januário pelo Campeonato Brasileiro e o Rubro-Negro ganhou por 1 a 0. Após a partida, o estádio se transformou em uma verdadeira praça de guerra, com torcedores feridos, outros invadindo cabines de rádio e cenas de violência. Um torcedor morreu após ser baleado do lado de fora de São Januário. Na esfera desportiva, o Cruz-Maltino foi penalizado com a perda de seis mandos de campo, ainda não cumpridas integralmente.

Spurs make ‘biggest offer’ for Rudiger

Speaking to GiveMeSport, reporter Dean Jones of Eurosport has made an exciting Tottenham Hotspur transfer claim involving Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger.

The Lowdown: Spurs in defender chase?

There have been no shortage of links to high-profile defensive stars since Antonio Conte took the Spurs helm.

[web_stories_embed url=”https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/web-stories/spurs-developments-2/” title=”Spurs developments!” poster=”” width=”360″ height=”600″ align=”none”]

Indeed, both Stefan de Vrij and Matthijs de Ligt have been mentioned as possible new recruits for Tottenham as their new manager seeks to oversee a north London overhaul.

These links could even be exacerbated by a ‘serious’ injury to summer signing Cristian Romero, with the big blow potentially threatening to hamper Conte’s rebuild.

The Latest: Jones drops Rudiger claim…

Amid Tottenham’s search for a centre-back, it appears they’ve now made an offer to sign yet another one on a pre-contract.

According to Jones, speaking to GMS, Spurs have actually made the ‘biggest offer’ for Rudiger in terms of salary – according to what he’s heard from people close to the Chelsea defender.

He explained:

Rudiger’s people, the biggest offer they’re hearing about is coming from Tottenham, in terms of wages.”

The Verdict: Great option?

A Champions League-winning centre-back and proven in the Premier League, signing the 28-year-old as a free agent for next summer could come as a no-brainer.

While that doesn’t solve the lack of cover for Romero, the Blues centre-back would almost certainly strengthen Conte’s options over his first full season in charge next year.

Lauded as an ‘animal’ and ‘unbelievable’ by pundit Rio Ferdinand, as well as for reaching the level of Man City star Ruben Dias at a point last campaign (FIVE via The Metro), his quality is obvious.

Currently in the prime of his career, managing director Fabio Paratici could secure one of the bargains of 2022 with a swoop for the Germany international.

Younis to form players' association

The Pakistan captain has already contacted the Federation of International Cricketers Association (FICA) in that regard

Cricinfo staff05-Sep-2009

‘We are not making a group against the board.’•AFP

Pakistan captain Younis Khan is keen to launch a players’ association and is believed to have already contacted the Federation of International Cricketers Association (FICA) in that regard.Younis, who met FICA chief Tim May in London during the World Twenty20 in June seeking details about the formation of players’ association, said he had discussed the issue with current and former players in Pakistan and was also planning to meet PCB officials.”I want to work for the betterment of cricketers in Pakistan because there are several players who are in a lot of financial problems,” Khan said. “I don’t want any confrontation with the PCB and we are not making a group against the board.”Khan, who led Pakistan to victory in the World Twenty20 said he just wanted “to gather the players for their own rights.” He is expected to have another sitting with May during the Champions Trophy which begins from September 22 in South Africa.It is a significant development in Pakistan cricket given the almost constant cycle of players developing differences with one another, or with board officials. Player management is also a fledgling concept here and until recently, most players were not formally represented by any party.A players association may help resolve situations such as those faced by a number of Pakistan players earlier this year, when they could not take part in the second IPL season, and had to forego considerable earnings after the Pakistan government didn’t give them permission to play in India (even though the tournament was eventually staged in South Africa). The players tried to resolve the situation by contacting the president of the country, Asif Ali Zardari (also patron of the PCB) and through their agent, but the matter is still pending.Many ex-players have long felt such an association was necessary and attempts to organise one have been made before, by Asif Iqbal and Majid Khan among others, but never to any great success. Senior players such as Misbah-ul-Haq and Shoaib Malik have also voiced their support for such an association.

Fábio pega pênalti de Diego, e Cruzeiro é penta da Copa do Brasil

MatériaMais Notícias

O Cruzeiro é pentacampeão da Copa do Brasil. O time mineiro venceu o Flamengo nos pênaltis, por 5 a 3, na noite desta quarta-feira, no Mineirão, depois de um jogo muito equilibrado e sem gols no tempo normal. Fábio foi o herói da conquista ao defender a cobrança de Diego. Thiago Neves cobrou a penalidade que deu o título à equipe mineira, decretando uma grande festa em Belo Horizonte.

EQUILÍBRIO NO PRIMEIRO TEMPO

Logo aos cinco minutos, Raniel teve que ser substituído, obrigando o técnico Mano Menezes a fazer a primeira alteração. Pouco depois, Trauco sofreu falta na entrada da área, e Guerrero cobrou no travessão. O lance deixou a torcida da casa assustada e animou os rubro-negros.

A postura dos times chamava atenção. Mesmo como visitante, o Flamengo tomou a iniciativa. Já o Cruzeiro esperava por contra-ataques, curiosamente recuado quando o Rubro-Negro tinha a posse de bola. No entanto, a Raposa criou duas boas chances em sequência, em finalizações equivocadas de Arrascaeta e Thiago Neves.

O Cruzeiro chegou com perigo em outras oportunidades, mas falhou no momento decisivo. Do outro lado, Berrío e Guerrero deram trabalho aos defensores do time mineiro, mas o Fla não conseguia criar chances claras. Em resumo, o primeiro tempo foi equilibrado e agitado, apesar da falta de gols.

PRESSÃO E NADA DE GOLS

O Cruzeiro pressionou nos primeiros minutos após o intervalo. Rafinha voltou no lugar de Robinho, lesionado, criando dificuldades para o Flamengo nas pontas. Pressionado, o time carioca não tinha moleza para chegar ao ataque. Quase aos 20, Diego, enfim, obrigou Fábio a fazer uma boa defesa.

O time rubro-negro cresceu no jogo por alguns minutos e passou a dar mais trabalho. Porém, o lance de maior perigo foi criado pela Raposa. Aos 32, Muralha deu um susto na torcida do Flamengo. Diogo Barbosa cruzou da esquerda, e o goleiro espalmou na cabeça de Arrascaeta, que perdeu uma grande chance.

Nos minutos finais, o jogo ficou ainda mais tenso, caminhando para os pênaltis. Guerrero quase abriu o placar aos 42, após uma boa jogada individual. Atento, Fábio fez uma grande defesa. Minutos depois, o árbitro decretou o fim do tempo normal. Era hora de decidir na marca da cal.

Na hora de decidir nos pênaltis, o Cruzeiro foi mais competente.Henrique, Léo, Hudson, Diogo Barbosa e Thiago Neves não deram chances para Muralha. Pelo Flamengo,Guerrero, Juan e Trauco converteram, mas Diego parou em Fábio, herói do título. O Mineirão foi ao delírio com o pentacampeonato. Era dia de festa para a Raposa.

أمير مرتضى يتحدث عن كواليس تجديد التعاقد مع زيزو.. ويؤكد: لن نضم صفقات جماهيرية

كشف أمير مرتضي منصور، المشرف على فريق الكرة بنادي الزمالك، كواليس تجديد التعاقد مع أحمد سيد زيزو لاعب الفارس الأبيض.

وأعلن مرتضى منصور رئيس نادي الزمالك أمس في تصريحات لقناة “الزمالك” عن التواصل لاتفاق لتجديد عقد زيزو مع الفريق رسمياً.

وقال أمير مرتضي خلال تصريحات لقناة “الزمالك”: “زيزو جدد للزمالك لمدة 3 سنوات وبدون شرط جزائي، الذي كان تم وضعه في عقده الموسم الماضي”.

وأضاف: “والده أوضح في أكثر من مناسبة أن الشرط الجزائي تم وضعه بسبب عدم الاستقرار ووجود اللجان”.

وتابع: “أشكر زيزو علي رغبته في الاستمرار مع الزمالك، رغم العروض الكبيرة له، لارتباطه الكبير بالزمالك وجماهيره، كما أوجه الشكر لوالده الذي كان حريصا على استمرار زيزو مع الفارس الأبيض”.

ومن جانب آخر، أوضح أمير مرتضى أن الزمالك لن يضم صفقات جماهيرية، بل سيبحث عن صفقات يحتاجها في الموسم الجديد، مؤكدا: “إذا كان هناك صفقات جماهيرية في الدوري المصري، فمن سيكونون نجوما أكبر من اللاعبين الفائزين بالدوري والكأس؟”.

وأتم: “فيريرا متداخل مع الإدارة في كل تفاصيل انتقالات اللاعبين والصفقات الجديدة”.

Celtic: Hoops linked with Jeremy Le Douaron

Celtic have been linked with a winter window move for Stade Brestois striker Jeremy Le Douaron, Homme du Match report.

The Lowdown: Le Douaron profiled

Le Douaron is 23 years of age and is primarily a centre-forward who can also play as a left or right midfielder.

The 6ft 2’ French forward has been with his current employers since July 2020 and has scored seven times in 46 appearances, three of which have come in his last three Ligue 1 appearances.

[web_stories_embed url=”https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/web-stories/celtic-updates-17/” title=”Celtic updates!” poster=”” width=”360″ height=”600″ align=”none”]

He appears to be at the peak of his powers with his career-high £1.08m Transfermarkt valuation, and it seems as if he could be on Ange Postecoglou’s 2022 radar.

The Latest: Hoops links

Homme du Match shared a story on Wednesday, suggesting Celtic are ‘desperate’ to add to their attacking ranks in the January market.

Celtic have ‘ticked’ Le Douaron’s name when it comes to attacking targets, with the forward valued at €2m (£1.7m).

The Verdict: Avoid?

Even though Le Douaron could cost less than Josip Juranovic’s £2.7m move in the summer, it could make sense for the Hoops to look elsewhere.

He hasn’t exactly been prolific in France, with Giorgos Giakoumakis 26 Eredivisie goals last season.

A player like Daizen Maeda, who Celtic are thought to be confident of signing, could be a smarter option in January as he is a player who Postecoglou will know from his time in Japan.

Maeda has netted 22 times in 2021, considerably more than Le Douaron, so perhaps Michael Nicholson should avoid moving for the Stade Brestois man.
