Herschelle Gibbs has received a vote of confidence from Glamorgan only weeks after he was dropped from the South Africa team for breaking a curfew, after being signed up as their overseas player for July, August and September 2009.Gibbs, 34, played for the county in the Twenty20 Cup last summer, and replaces their outgoing overseas player, Jason Gillespie. “I’m really excited about returning to Glamorgan, joining the team for the Twenty20 Cup last season was a great experience,” he said. “I am looking forward to having more time to play with Glamorgan.”He has an option to extend his stay at the county, although with an IPL contract for May and the prospect of a recall to the international side for the World Twenty20 in June, he faces a busy few months. Nevertheless, having recently split from his wife and undergone a alcohol rehabilitation course, he’ll be reassured to know he is still in demand. He is currently playing for his club side, Cape Cobras, in South Africa’s SuperSport Series.Glamorgan’s cricket manager, Matthew Maynard, is convinced that his club have made an astute signing. “I am absolutely delighted about Herschelle returning to the club,” he told the BBC. “He made a great impression on the team in 2008 and he is an inspirational player to add to the squad.”Herschelle is a typical example of the cricketing experience that we are looking to sign to the club and I’m thrilled that he is joining us next season.”

A eleição presidencial do Vasco está se aproximando – está programada para novembro – e os ânimos da diretoria para evitar protestos contra o presidente Eurico Miranda ficam cada vez mais acirrados. Para o jogo contra o Sport, sábado, em São Januário, por exemplo, ficou decidido que a área social poderá ter a presença somente de sócios, e não mais de convidados como vinha sendo permitido pelo clube. A informação foi publicada primeiro pelo “Globoesporte” e confirmada pelo LANCE!.

Depois da goleada sofrida para o Corinthians na noite da última quarta-feira, foram observados diversos protestos dos torcedores. Na arquibancada atrás do gol, spray de pimenta chegou a ser utilizado pelos policiais para apartar a confusão. Na área social, a situação praticamente se repetiu, com alguns torcedores alegando que foram agredidos por seguranças do Vasco.

Em nota divulgada na noite da última quinta-feira pelo site oficial, o Vasco repudiou qualquer tipo de violência. Ainda no comunicado, o clube disse que trabalhará para melhorar a segurança, mas destacou que os profissionais dessa área cruz-maltina não agrediram torcedores. O texto do Vasco ainda garante que os protestos teriam ocorrido justamente por cunho político.

Os jogadores do Vasco voltam a treinar na manhã desta sexta-feira, em São Januário. Será a última oportunidade do técnico Milton Mendes em elaborar estratégia para voltar a vencer no Campeonato Brasileiro. Essas confusões estão na mão do Superior Tribunal de Justiça Desportiva (STJD) que pode vir a oferecer denúncia e, consequentemente, o Cruz-Maltino perder mando de campo.

A number of West Brom supporters have been reacting positively to the news that the Baggies have signed defender Kean Bryan.

Valerien Ismael’s side have made an excellent start to the Championship season, winning four and drawing one of their opening five matches.

It means West Brom sit second in the table and they look like strong contenders to return to the Premier League for the 2022/23 campaign.

On Monday, The Telegraph‘s John Percy took to Twitter to claim that the Baggies are on the verge of signing Bryan, who is a free agent after leaving Sheffield United in the summer. The move has now been confirmed by The Athletic‘s Steve Madeley.

He is seen as someone who will add defensive cover, especially as the Baggies are currently without Dara O’Shea and Matt Clarke.

South Africa’s officials say they hope to replace the controversial quota system with merit-based selection by 2011

South Africa’s officials say they hope to replace the controversial quota system with merit-based selection by 2011. The plan, which falls under the transformation process already in place, will be reviewed every year and culminate, officials hope, in merit-based selection across the board.”The goal is to get merit-based selection at all levels of cricket,” CSA chief executive Gerald Majola told . “We have decided to continue with the target transformation policy for the next three years, with a review at the end of each year. At the end of the three years we hope we can then move to merit-based selection across the board.”The target transformation policy – the formal name for Cricket South Africa’s so-called quota system – was introduced in 1998 to gain a better balance in the number of non-white players at the highest level of South African cricket. It has seen Makhaya Ntini, Ashwell Prince and Hashim Amla ranked among the world’s best.Yet it continues to polarise opinion with many concerns that the system is little more than tokenism. As recently as March this year, Andre Nel was rumoured to be considering his future after he was omitted from South Africa’s squad to tour India. A row subsequently broke out between coach Mickey Arthur and the CSA president, Norman Arendse, when it transpired that the squad didn’t feature sufficient players of colour as required by the transformation policy.Twelve months ago, South African Cricketers’ Association (SACA) chief executive Tony Irish confirmed that the top 25 cricketers in the country had called upon CSA to do away with quotas in the selection of the national team.”The players feel that as soon as a racial number is set for selection of the team it leads to a divisive dynamic within the team,” Irish said, “and it is also degrading to the players of colour who should be there on merit yet are labelled a quota/target player.”South Africa have picked seven coloured players – Prince, Amla, Ntini, Robin Peterson, Jean-Paul Duminy, Lonwabo Tsotsobe and Monde Zondeki – in their 15-man squad to tour Australia next week.

Um dos maiores medos do Santos será realidade: Lucas Lima chegará ao dia primeiro de julho livre para assinar um pré-contrato com outra equipe sem responder à proposta de renovação com o Peixe. Além disso, a provável saída do camisa 10 para o Barcelona conta com a ajuda de dois inimigos do clube.

A empresa do pai de Neymar, que agencia a carreira do jogador junto com a empresa Khoddor Soccer, que o levou à Vila Belmiro, é um deles. Neymar e Santos estão em litígio na Fifa, pois o clube acredita que foi prejudicado em sua venda para o Barcelona (ESP), em 2013.

O Alvinegro crê que deveria ter recebido mais do que os 17 milhões de euros (R$ 62,9 milhões na cotação atual), já que 83 milhões de euros (R$ 307, 1 mi) foram gastos no total da operação, de acordo com a Justiça da Espanha.

Enquanto esta demanda arbitral corre na Fifa, outra na Justiça corre entre Santos e Doyen. O clube e o fundo de investimentos maltês tentam um acordo por causa de uma dívida de quase 20 milhões de euros (R$ 74 milhões). Em 2014, o Peixe buscou ajuda dos investidores para contratar Leandro Damião e Lucas Lima e ainda vendeu partes de Gabigol, Geuvânio e Daniel Guedes.

A atual diretoria, que administra o clube desde 2015, considera tais contratos irregulares e tenta a anulação ou uma forma de pagar a dívida parcelada.

No entanto, a Doyen Sports tem 80% dos direitos de Lucas Lima e em contrato tem direito a mais R$ 8 milhões a serem pagos pelo Peixe caso o jogador não seja vendido até o fim de seu contrato, que termina em dezembro de 2017.

Por isso, a diretoria santista vê os investidores e a empresa de Neymar com interesse comum em tirar o jogador do Santos em 2018, quando já não terá mais vínculo com o clube e poderá sair de graça. O Doyen também participa da carreira do atacante da Seleção Brasileira em contratos de publicidade.

O que coloca Lucas Lima ainda mais nos radares da Europa além das boas atuações pelo Peixe são suas frequentes convocações para a Seleção de Tite.
Amigo de Neymar, o camisa 10 do Santos acompanhou o craque do Barcelona em sua ida a Santos, de férias, nos últimos dias.

Recentemente, Lucas Lima ouviu de representantes do Barcelona no Brasil que o time da Catalunha tem interesse em seu futebol e aguarda uma proposta oficial para assinar contrato. Segundo informação da Espn, o meia já acertou salários e bônus por um vínculo de cinco anos. Ele ganhará 4 milhões de euros por temporada (R$ 14, 8 milhões), além do valor extra de 5 milhões (R$ 18,5 milhões).

Se tiver provas de que o Barcelona negociou com seu camisa 10 antes de julho, o Santos promete acionar a Fifa mais uma vez para acusar os catalães de aliciamento.

حسم نادي يوفنتوس الإيطالي صفقة دفاعية جديدة فور رحيل الهولندي ماتياس دي ليخت إلى صفوف بايرن ميونخ الألماني، بحسب تقارير.

وأعلن يوفنتوس رحيل دي ليخت اليوم الثلاثاء إلى بايرن ميونخ حيث ودع الهولندي السيدة العجوز بعد ثلاث سنوات بقميص البيانكونيري، وسيوقع للعملاق البافاري حتى يونيو 2027.

وجليسون بريمر على وشك التوقيع ليوفنتوس بعد أن اتفقوا على صفقة إجمالية قدرها 50 مليون يورو مع تورينو.

كان قلب الدفاع البرازيلي البالغ من العمر 25 عامًا أحد أفضل المدافعين في الدوري الإيطالي الموسم الماضي، وبدا الانتقال إلى نادٍ كبير هذا الصيف واضحًا، على الرغم من أن الكثيرين توقعوا انضمامه إلى إنتر ميلان.

ركز النيراتزوري على أهداف أخرى بدلاً من ذلك وفشل في وضع اللمسات الأخيرة على صفقة بريمر، مما سمح ليوفنتوس بدخول المعركة بعد أن وافقوا على بيع دي ليخت إلى بايرن ميونيخ.

كما هو مفصل من قبل “توتو ميركاتو” من المتوقع أن يعود بريمر إلى تورينو في وقت لاحق من هذا المساء للخضوع للفحص الطبي مع يوفنتوس غدًا.

بافتراض أن كل شيء يسير على ما يرام، فإنه سيضع القلم على الورق في عقد مدته خمس سنوات مع البيانكونيري، وسيدفع يوفنتوس لتورينو 41 مليون يورو بالإضافة إلى 9 ملايين يورو كإضافات للاعب.

يبدو أن اللاعب البرازيلي البالغ من العمر 25 عامًا هو البديل المثالي لدي ليخت وقد أدار يوفنتوس الموقف بشكل لا يصدق، في تناقض صارخ مع إنتر.

As relayed by Tottenham Hotspur’s official website, manager Nuno Espirito Santo could welcome back summer signing Cristian Romero, with a return against Chelsea today not ruled out for the 23-year-old.

The Lowdown: Croatia three back in London…

After their international debacle, returning from a 10-day training camp in Croatia to maintain fitness levels, it appears that Romero, Giovani Lo Celso and Davinson Sanchez are back in the English capital.

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

The South American trio have been unable to return to Spurs after joining up with their red-listed countries, with Spurs sending them to Croatia in an attempt to avoid them having to quarantine in a UK-based hotel (Evening Standard).

The Latest: Spurs drop pre-Chelsea injury message…

Relaying some injury news ahead of the Chelsea clash, it appears that Romero and his fellow South Americans could now come into contention to feature today following their stint abroad, as per an update from Spurs’ official website.

While their inclusion still needs to be assessed, Nuno could be boosted by the return of his Argentine summer signing in particular, refusing to rule him out from featuring this afternoon.

Spurs’ report claimed that Romero, alongside Lo Celso and Sanchez, ‘may come into frame’ for today’s highly-anticipated clash against their bitter London rivals and Champions League holders.

The Verdict: Huge boost…

Potentially having the 2020/21 Serie A MVP award winner as the league’s best defender back in his side will come as a huge boost for Nuno, especially considering that Romero is yet to show his very best and could decide to turn it on against Chelsea.

Lauded as ‘phenomenal’ by Serie A journalist Conor Clancy (via This is Futbol), the 23-year-old would come as a stellar defensive option to cope with the pace and power of Romelu Lukaku. It’s no coincidence that, in Romero’s absence over the last week, Spurs shipped five goals over their two matches against Crystal Palace and Rennes.

Over the next four days, the merits of the technical committee’s decision to let the two best Plate League teams play the Ranji Trophy quarterfinals alongside the six best Super League teams will be put to a stern test

Over the next four days, the merits of the BCCI technical committee’s decision to let the two best Plate League teams play the Ranji Trophy quarterfinals alongside the six best Super League teams will be put to the test. The Chinnaswamy Stadium will be witness to one such match, between Tamil Nadu, who led their Super League group comprehensively, and Bengal, who fought their way up from the Plate League.On the face of it the provision to have Plate League teams play the quarterfinals seems silly. It means the best six teams and the teams ranked 14th and 15th are playing for the big prize. The middle-ranked teams will be justified if they feel hard done by.However, there is another way of looking at it. “It [the new format] is good because there’s every chance that a good cricketing team might have slipped down to Plate,” Tamil Nadu coach WV Raman said. “It has happened with Karnataka before, and now with Bengal. Once that happens it denies you things for two years. If a good side has gone down due to whatever reasons, there is a fantastic chance for them to come back immediately.”Bengal know they deserve that chance. Last year they slipped to the Plate League after being finalists in the previous two seasons. The defections to the ICL played their part too. However, they have come storming back into the Super League, riding on two innings victories and one by nine wickets. Achieving the promotion was no mean feat for there was pressure to win every match in the league stage. The promotion secured, there was a sense of relief in the Bengal camp. “Perhaps we had more pressure before to win every game, in order to be promoted,” Laxmi Ratan Shukla, the Bengal captain, said. “Hopefully there will be less pressure this time.”If Shukla and Bengal’s other batsmen can make significant contributions on a good batting track, some of that pressure will be released. None of their batsmen has crossed the 500-run mark after six matches: Wriddhiman Saha has been the most prolific with 428 runs at 53.50. Manoj Tiwary and Shukla will wish to set an average season right after averaging 38.5 and 29.7 so far. What has worked for them is the form of Ashok Dinda and Ranadeb Bose, who have taken 61 wickets between them, and are at Nos 3 and 4 on the wicket-takers’ list.Tamil Nadu, though, don’t have any batting worries. The problem of riches could force them to bench Arun Karthik, who scored a century on debut this season and is averaging 57.33, to accommodate M Vijay, who was away on India duty. Not one of their five specialist batsmen averages below 50, and the two part-timers – R Ashwin and Suresh Kumar – average in the mid-40s.The batting transformation has caused the turnaround for Tamil Nadu after years in the wilderness. “If a side has to do well in Ranji Trophy, it has to put runs on the board,” Raman said. “Whenever the runs have been put on the board, we have been there or thereabouts. If not titles, at least semis of finals. That’s what has been harped on in the last two or three years. Plus the wickets in the latter part of the seasons are usually batsmen-friendly, so it’s all the more important to score heavily.”Not surprisingly, they have topped their group and got an easy quarter-final as a result. Raman expected to “put it across” Bengal. The flat pitch will work in their batsmen’s favour too: Karnataka’s 511 in the first innings was bettered by UP in the last game here. One of the bowlers here, who has been following the matches, joked the teams should be allowed to use a bowling machine in the matches.But it is knockout time, and a mistake could prove decisive. To have such matches played over four days defies logic. A knockout comes from the most comprehensive of blows, but usually there isn’t enough time in four days to land such punches. “I would have preferred these knockout games to be played over five days,” Raman said. “It doesn’t give you a comeback chance in a four-day situation. Five days would mean better competition, and obviously these players are being groomed to play top-level cricket.”From here on, the teams know that each mistake they make could be their last. And therein lies the underdog’s chance, Bengal’s in this case.Teams:
Tamil Nadu: Dinesh Karthik (capt & wk), M Vijay, A Mukund, S Badrinath, S Vidyut, S Suresh Kumar, R Ashwin, C Suresh, L Balaji, C Ganapathy, Yo Mahesh, P Amarnath.Bengal: Lakshmi Ratan Shukla (capt), Rohan Banerjee, Manoj Tiwary, Wriddhiman Saha, Arindam Das, Avik Chowdhury, Ashok Dinda, Ritam Kundu, Sourav Sarkar, Didyendu Chakrabarty, Randeb Bose, Iresh Saxena, Shreevats Goswami, Avik Mallick.
