Matt Roller02-Jul-2021

Nicholas Pooran, Alyssa Healy, Aaron Finch and Meg Lanning are among the latest overseas players to pull out of the inaugural season of the Hundred, with Faf du Plessis, Shabnim Ismail, Imran Tahir and Laura Wolvaardt signing up as replacements.A number of the competition’s leading overseas players have already withdrawn due to clashes with the international calendar and travel complications during the Covid-19 pandemic, with the ECB confirming 21 replacements on Friday after ESPNcricinfo revealed a number of pull-outs.The strong Australian contingent in the women’s competition has been particularly hit, with 10 players and head coach Matthew Mott pulling out of deals. With a mandatory two-week quarantine period on return home and an international season starting on September 19, there is limited scope for a rest between the two. Ellyse Perry is the only Australian women’s player who had initially signed a deal who will actually play in the competition.Mott has been replaced by Mark O’Leary, the Western Storm head coach, as Welsh Fire’s coach, while New Zealand’s Amelia Kerr has also withdrawn.Related

Three South Africa women’s players have signed as replacements – Ismail, Wolvaardt and Sune Luus – while several WBBL regulars have also had deals confirmed, including Laura Kimmince, Erin Burns and Amanda-Jade Wellington.Chris Lynn and Josh Inglis are the only Australian players who will be involved in the men’s competition, following confirmation that Finch and Adam Zampa have joined their international team-mates in withdrawing. Finch’s withdrawal means that Northern Superchargers have replaced him as captain, with du Plessis taking over.There is a New Zealand flavour to the replacements confirmed, with Colin Munro and Glenn Phillips both confirmed alongside Adam Milne, Finn Allen and Jimmy Neesham, whose deals were previously revealed by ESPNcricinfo.Sanjay Patel, the competition’s managing director, said: “We know that the ongoing situation with the Covid pandemic and an incredibly busy international schedule has caused significant challenges for a number of international players, but we are delighted with the quality of players who have come in.”Sam Hain has replaced Wayne Madsen at Manchester Originals•Getty Images

Four replacement domestic players have also been confirmed: Jordan Thompson replaces the injured Olly Stone at Northern Superchargers; Ollie Robinson and Sam Hain come in for the retired Harry Gurney and the injured Wayne Madsen at Manchester Originals; and Will Smeed replaces the injured Henry Brookes at Birmingham Phoenix.Each of the eight men’s teams will make one further signing on Friday evening in the wildcard draft, with Jake Lintott, Dillon Pennington, Sam Cook and Freddie Klaassen understood to be among the players picked up.A number of women’s domestic players have also had deals confirmed, including the Southern Vipers offspinner Charlotte Taylor – who has joined Southern Brave – and the Northern Diamonds’ Steere Kalis, who has joined Northern Superchargers.Confirmed replacements:Birmingham Phoenix:

More than a few eyebrows were raised on Merseyside when it was claimed that Liverpool forward Luis Diaz had agreed a contract with one of the club's Premier League rivals.

Journalist Marcos Benito reported that the Colombia international had reached an agreement on a five-year deal with reigning champions Manchester City.

The reporter added that Pep Guardiola's side were prepared to offer a fee in the region of €70m (£60m) to snap him up from Anfield this summer.

It did not take long, though, for that rumour to be rubbished as The Athletic's Sam Lee, who covers the Cityzens, confirmed that there was no truth in the speculation.

Luis Diaz's future at Liverpool

Speaking on The Anfield Agenda, journalist David Lynch revealed that, despite reports of City's interest, Liverpool are open to cashing in on the winger this summer.

The reporter claimed that the Reds would be willing to move the former Porto star on before the end of the transfer window if they can get a replacement in with more attacking output on the flank.

With this in mind, Arne Slot could brutally ditch Diaz, if there is a team that is genuinely interested in signing him, by swooping for reported target Johan Bakayoko.

The Mirror recently reported that the PSV forward is a long-term target for Liverpool as they eye up players who could come in to bolster their options on the flanks.

A possible fee of between £35m and £40m was reported earlier this summer but it remains to be seen how much the Reds would be willing to pay for his services.

Why Liverpool should sign Johan Bakayoko

Liverpool should sign Bakayoko to provide Slot with a natural alternative to Mo Salah on the right flank, as another left-footed right-sided winger.

That would then leave Darwin Nunez, Diogo Jota, and Cody Gakpo who can all play on the left side of the front three, whilst all three of them can also play as the central striker.

Brutally ditching Diaz from the squad to bring in the PSV starlet could, therefore, provide Slot with more balance in his options across the frontline.

As you can see in the table above, Bakayoko significantly outperformed the Colombian winger in the final third, albeit in a different division, with more goals, big chances created, and assists in fewer league appearances.

Whilst Diaz underperformed his xG by almost four goals, the PSV whiz outperformed his by just over three. This suggests that the Belgium international is a ruthless finisher who could make the most of the chances that Liverpool create, which cannot be said of the current Reds man.

Bakayoko, who was described as "fun to watch" by U23 scout Antonio Mango, is also six years younger than the Colombia international, which means that he has far more time on his hands to develop and improve, whilst seemingly having the potential to offer more quality at the top end of the pitch.

Therefore, Slot must ruthlessly ditch Diaz from his squad this summer, if possible, and replace him by landing the 21-year-old star to compete for a place out wide.

No other Full Member has sent an age-group team on tour since the start of the pandemic last year

Pakistan will become the first country to resume age-group level tours since the start of the pandemic. The Under-19 team will tour Bangladesh next month for a series of five one-day matches and a four-day game starting from April 19 in Sylhet.Every traveling member will be vaccinated beforehand and the tour will have in place similar protocols as for the senior teams. The team and its management will be tested for Covid-19 before entering the camp and, after the return of negative tests, members will be allowed to move into a biosecure bubble, for which the players will convene in Lahore.The tour has been arranged to prepare the players for the next ICC Under-19 World Cup, scheduled to take place in the West Indies next year. Prior to their departure, the team will play two 50-over practice matches and a three-day match during a 10-day long camp that will run from April 3 in Lahore.Six players from the group that played the Under-19 World Cup in South Africa in 2020 were retained for this tour: Abdul Wahid Bangalzai, Fahad Munir, Qasim Akram, Mohammad Irfan Niazi, Mohammad Shehzad, and Tahir Hussain. As per the ICC age criteria for the upcoming Under-19 World Cup, only players born on or after 1 September 2002 will be eligible.Pakistan named six batsmen including Abdul Faseeh, the leading run-getter with 524 runs at 65.50 last year in the national Under-19 one-day tournament. Several of the players have already begun to make waves on the domestic circuit in Pakistan; opener Abdul Wahid represented Balochistan in the last domestic season, while batting allrounder Akram was one of the star performers for Central Punjab, and subsequently selected by Karachi Kings in the Pakistan Super League.”The tour provides a wonderful grooming opportunity for the players against one of the most formidable U-19 sides at present, which won the ICC U19 Cricket World Cup last year,” Pakistan’s U-19 head coach, Ijaz Ahmed, said. “We have a talented bunch of players and a number of them have proven their worth already on the domestic circuit in the recently concluded season.”The squad also includes players who represented Pakistan Under-19s in the World Cup; the tour will help further develop the skills of these players as they are our future. The tour will be a challenging one for us and one that will stand these players in good stead in this developmental stage of their careers. The series will also help us identify the potential players that we will field in next year’s World Cup in the West Indies.”Pakistan U19 squad: Abbas Ali, Abdul Faseeh, Abdul Wahid Bangalzai, Fahad Munir, Maaz Sadaqat, Mohammad Irfan Niazi, Mohammad Shehzad, Qasim Akram and Rizwan Mehmood, Haseebullah and Raza-ul-Mustafa, Aaliyan Mehmood, Ali Asfand, Arham Nawab, Faisal Akram, Ahmed Khan, Asim Ali, Muneeb Wasif, Tahir Hussain, Zeeshan Zameer

Over the last couple of weeks, countless names have been thrown into the mix as Nottingham Forest aim to secure a new striker before Friday’s transfer deadline.

On the face of it, it may seem harsh that the club are looking for new options after Chris Wood registered 14 Premier League goals last campaign, but it’s a signal of ambition from owner Evangelos Marinakis.

Eddie Nketiah appeared the most likely at one stage, but after failing to agree personal terms with the Arsenal ace, a deal fell through, with the Englishman now set for a move to Crystal Palace.

Vitor Roque is another name that has previously been mentioned, but after his loan move to Spanish side Real Betis, the Reds have to continue their hunt with just a couple of days left in the window.

As a result, they may turn to one target who has previously been the subject of interest from Manchester United.

Nottingham Forest's search for a striker

According to Football Insider, Nottingham Forest have now set their sights on Ajax striker Brian Brobbey before Friday’s deadline.

The 22-year-old enjoyed an impressive campaign in Eredivisie during 2023/24, registering 18 goals and eight assists, before receiving a call-up to the Netherlands national side for Euro 2024.

The report states that Forest are desperate to land a new centre-forward before the deadline, with the Ajax man the latest player on the club’s radar after their failure to sign Nketiah last week.

However, Brobbey would be an expensive addition for Nuno Espirito Santo’s side, with previous reports claiming that the Dutch side value the youngster at around the £30m mark.

His goalscoring record would make him a phenomenal addition, but also his all-round play is suited to the Reds’ current system, making him a perfect alternative to another current target.

Why Brobbey would be the perfect Gimenez alternative

The saga over a potential move for Feyenoord striker Santiago Gimenez has been ongoing for numerous days, with various reports claiming different things over a potential move to the City Ground.

Forest have had three separate bids rejected for the Mexican international, but journalist Fabrizio Romano confirmed yesterday that the club are still trying to secure a deal for the 23-year-old.

It would be a deal in the region of €33m (£28m) for Gimenez, a respectable fee given his tally of 29 combined goals and assists in the Eredivisie last season.

However, the club still remain in the race for Brobbey, with the Ajax talent potentially being a better option for the Reds than Gimenez.

The “exceptional” Dutchman, as described by scout Antonio Mango, may have registered fewer goal contributions last season, but did manage to achieve a higher shot-on-target rate than the Mexican, making him more efficient with his chances in the final third.

He also contributed with more shot-creating actions per 90 whilst winning more aerial duels, providing that target man and aerial threat that Nuno likes in his centre-forwards.

Brobbey also achieved a higher pass accuracy rate, whilst completing more of the take-ons he attempted, demonstrating his quality at the ball at his feet – a crucial attribute to fit into the club’s transition into a more possession-based side.

Whilst Gimenez undoubtedly remains the club’s top target, with just a couple of days left in the window, they are running out of time to secure a deal for a player who will take the Reds to the next level.

Brobbey has demonstrated in the Netherlands that he has all the tools to thrive in the Premier League, with his bulldozing nature a problem for any defender who tries to stand his way.

£30m could be a good price for the youngster, who’s proven his goalscoring ability, whilst also having the potential to improve further in the East Midlands.

Após meses de negociações, o Vasco e a Procuradoria Geral da Fazenda Nacional (PGFN) concluíram, nesta segunda-feira, o acordo de transação tributária para renegociar todo o passivo fiscal do clube, com desconto médio de 50% nas dívidas. Desse modo, os débitos que giram em torno deR$ 300 milhões irão diminuir paracerca de R$ 150 milhões.

Vale lembrar que o Vascoacertou o pagamento de R$ 5 milhões em FGTS (Fundo de Garantia por Tempo de Serviço) atrasados com 750 ex-funcionários. Alguns débitos inseridos na dívida ativa se arrastavam desde 1968, algo que dificultava a negociação com a PGFN.

A negociação é semelhante ao acordo do Cruzeiro, selado em 2020. Na época, o clube mineiro reduziu a dívida com a União de R$ 334 milhões para R$ 178 milhões. Esses valores eram referentes aos débitos tributários e fiscais.

O Gigante da Colina também apresentou à Justiça um plano de pagamento de R$ 93,5 milhões, à Comissão de Credores. O clube seguiu a recente lei clube-empresa e caso esse plano seja aprovado terá que quitar as dívidas cível e trabalhistas no prazo de seis anos, utilizando até 20% da receita mensal, como está previsto na lei.

O Vasco conseguiu na Justiça o direito e teve reconhecido o direito ao Regime Centralizado de Execuções (RCE), algo também previsto na nova lei que instituiu o clube-empresa no Brasil. Dessa forma, o Cruz-Maltino apresentou o plano dentro do prazo estabelecido e agora aguarda a análise da Justiça para iniciar o pagamento.

The transfer window finally came to a close on Friday night, and it would be fair to say that Tottenham Hotspur enjoyed a successful summer of business.

Ange Postecoglou's squad has been made much more robust with the additions of Dominic Solanke, Wilson Odobert and Archie Gray, and while some fans may have been hoping for a last-minute deal, there simply wasn't the need for one.

The Lilywhites' fierce rivals Arsenal, on the other hand, were forced to engage in some last-minute panic buying as they secured the services of Raheem Sterling on a season-long loan following a summer of constant links to attacking talent.

The former Manchester City ace is a Premier League veteran at this point and will likely be a useful player for the Gunners, but Spurs fans can rest easy in the knowledge that they already have a winger who's worth substantially more than the Englishman.

Raheem Sterling's valuation in 2024

Sterling completed his season-long loan move to Arsenal on deadline day last week, and while the Gunners didn't pay a fee for the Chelsea ace, we know that his current valuation is around €46m thanks to Football Transfers, which converts to about £39m.

While this is still a reasonably impressive valuation, it's significantly lower than it was just over a year ago, when Football Transfers priced the 29-year-old at around €71m, which is about £60m.

The reason for this collapse in the player's valuation is likely two-fold. The first reason is that, after starring in a brilliant City team for so many years and racking up an incredible haul of 204 goals and assists in just 339 games, the Kingston-born dynamo has struggled to have the same level of impact at Stamford Bridge, where he has racked up 31 goals and assists in 81 appearances.

This brings us to the second potential reason his price has fallen so dramatically: the Blues were clearly trying to get rid of him over the last few weeks. After all, if a team clearly no longer wants their own player, why would said player's valuation increase?

In all, while the 82-capped international will probably be able to contribute at the Emirates, he's not the player he once was, and Spurs already have a winger who is worth millions more than him.

Dejan Kulusevski's valuation in 2024

Yes, the player in question is Swedish superstar Dejan Kulusevski, who joined the North Londoners on an initial 18-month loan deal in January 2022 under former managing director Fabio Paratici.

The talented winger's move was made permanent for around £26m in June 2023, although according to Football Transfers, he is currently worth around €57m, which converts to about £48m, or £9m more than Sterling's new valuation.

Now, that might seem like a lot of money for a player who has been somewhat inconsistent during his time in North London, but when the former Juventus ace is at his best, he is an incredible asset to have in the team.

For example, in his 99 appearances for the Lilywhites, the "special player", as described by Sky Sports reporter Jamie Weir, has scored 15 goals and provided 20 assists, meaning he's averaged a goal involvement every 2.82 games for the club, which is more impressive when taking into account the football played under former manager Antonio Conte.

That said, this is set to be a big season for the 24-year-old, as he's now at the age in which he needs to nail down a regular starting spot in the team, and given his raw ability, there is no reason why he couldn't do that.

Ultimately, while Sterling is the winger grabbing headlines at the moment, Tottenham have a far more valuable player in Kulusevski in their squad.
