Southampton have famously produced a vast amount of players from their youth ranks that have gone on to have big careers in the game such as Alan Shearer, Matt Le Tissier, Gareth Bale, Luke Shaw and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.

One other player that came through Southampton’s youth academy to become a well-known name in football is 32-year-old winger Theo Walcott.

With a total of 373 Premier League appearances under his belt, 53 of those have come for Southampton, bagging eight goals and providing three assists in the process.

Taking into account his age, the fact that with his contract is set to expire in the summer of 2023 and the fact that Walcott has failed to score a goal or provide an assist in seven appearances across all competitions this term, it would make sense if Ralph Hasenhuttl starting thinking about a potential replacement for the veteran.

With this in mind, we feel that the south-coast club could already have their ideal long-term heir for Walcott in 18-year-old attacker Ramello Mitchell.

Southampton added Mitchell to their U18 side back in the 2019 summer transfer window from Birmingham City’s youth academy for an undisclosed fee.

When he made the move to St. Mary’s, Mitchell was labelled as a player with “huge potential” by former Saints director of football, Ross Wilson.

Since then, the player has gone on to make 26 appearances for Southampton’s U18 side, beating the goalkeeper on three occasions and supplying two assists whilst also making 28 appearances for their B team.

So far this season, Mitchell has played in all of the Southampton B team games so far this season except for their 1-0 win over Reading’s U23 side, showing how important he is to the team.

Additionally, Mitchell has played on the right-wing and as a centre-forward on occasion this season, the two roles that Walcott has played in more than any other position throughout his long career.

However, most vital to this comparison is their tremendous pace. In the Daily Mail’s Secret Scout report last year, they described the teenager as a ‘powerful runner’, something Walcott has always been famed for.

Moving forward, if the experienced speedster does end up leaving the south coast when his deal ends, it could give the aforementioned youngster a pathway to breaking into their senior side, much in the same way Nathan Tella has.

However, given how he has yet to score a goal or provide an assist for Southampton’s B team, we feel Mitchell will have to show that he can be a useful attacking option at that level and prove himself to Hasenhuttl before being given a chance to shine in the first team.

Plays of the day for the first semi-final between Pakistan and South Africa at Trent Bridge

Andrew McGlashan at Trent Bridge18-Jun-2009

First ball of the day
When Shahid Afridi walked to the crease at No. 3, the noise that greeted him was deafening and he gave the crowd what they wanted. It wasn’t strictly the first ball he faced, but it was the first one he could reach after being greeted by a wide. A good length delivery from Wayne Parnell was drilled on the up over mid-on, bouncing a couple of times before crossing the ropes, as Afridi didn’t bother with playing himself in. It left the crowd baying for more and Afridi didn’t disappoint. It was to be his day.Kiss of the day
Afridi is also a player capable of rubbing the opposition up the wrong way. He is a confident character and isn’t afraid of have the odd cheeky moment. After pulling Jacques Kallis for the second of two boundaries in three balls, Afridi blew the bowler a little kiss. Kallis was far from impressed and in his next over cranked up the pace. It may have been a kiss from Afridi, but there was certainly no love lost.Trip of the day
This was easily South Africa’s worst fielding display of the tournament. The tone was set early when Graeme Smith dived over the ball at mid-off to let through a boundary, but an even more embarrassing moment belonged to Albie Morkel. Younis Khan had run the ball off the outside edge against Roelof van der Merwe and just as Morkel set off from short third man he ended up flat on the floor. Somehow he had managed to trip – he pointed to the ground, but it looked a bit like falling over fresh air – and by the time he scrambled to his feet a team-mate had retrieved the ball. van der Merwe didn’t have any sympathy with Morkel as he barked his annoyance.Drop of the day
South Africa’s dodgy fielding was unexpected, less so when Pakistan fumbled. When Smith top-edged a pull on 8 it looped high towards mid-off. It wasn’t an easy chance, but Umar Gul made it look very difficult. He circled around underneath it, then failed to even get a hand on the ball. To make matters worse he then landed awkwardly and hurt his head, although there may have been a sense of embarrassment. Fortunately, though, for Pakistan it didn’t cost too much when Mohammad Aamer showed how to take a steepler.Wicket of the day
Everything Afridi touched turned to gold. With the fourth ball of his first over he ripped a leg-break past Jacques Kallis’ outside edge, then when he had Herschelle Gibbs on strike two balls later he produced a beautifully disguised top-spinner. Gibbs, having seen his team-mate beaten, was expecting the legspinner and could only watch as the ball scooted past the inside edge and knocked back the off stump. In the 1999 World Cup semi-final against Australia, Gibbs was bowled by a stunning ball from Shane Warne. Again he had fallen to the magic of a legspinner and the nightmare was returning.Catch of the day
It won’t stand out as one of the catches of the tournament, but Shoaib Malik’s cool take at long-on to remove Kallis was a vital moment. The chase was on Kallis’ shoulders – he had accumulated and never exploded – and had just launched a massive six over long-off against Fawad Alam. He tried a repeat dose off Saeed Ajmal and sent the ball miles into the air. Malik followed it all the way, steadied himself and clutched it securely. When it mattered, Pakistan held their catches. When it mattered Pakistan turned on the style.

وتابع: “محكمة جنح العجوزة سبق وعاقبتني بالغرامة وبالتالي اصبحت المحكمة الاقتصادية التي اصدرت حكم حبسي لمدة شهر غير مختصة بنظر الدعوي، القانون ينص بمجرد إيداع مذكرة النقض يتوقف السير في الدعوى”.

Pakistan’s captain Younis Khan said poor fielding and ineffective new-ball bowling cost his team the match

Sa'adi Thawfeeq03-Aug-2009

Younis Khan has said his team’s poor fielding and the inability to make early breakthroughs in the Sri Lankan innings were the reasons behind Pakistan’s defeat in the third ODI in Dambulla. Sri Lanka took an unassailable 3-0 lead in the five-match series, to record their first ODI series win against Pakistan at home.”If you are defending 280-plus, fielding is important and our (poor) fielding made the difference in the match,” Younis said.Chasing Pakistan’s score of 288, Sri Lanka’s openers Upul Tharanga and Mahela Jayawardene put on a massive 202-run partnership, and laid the foundation for a comfortable victory. Younis praised the opening pair, but admitted Pakistan’s bowling with the new ball was not effective. “Mahela and Upul put on a fantastic partnership of over 200. It was very easy for them after that, although we fought back with a couple of wickets,” he said.”On this wicket, if you don’t take early wickets with the new ball you will lose the game.”

أكد المدرب الإسباني، ميكيل أرتيتا، المدير الفني لنادي آرسنال، أنّ مواجهة فولهام في الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز، لن تكون سهلة، مُشيرًا إلى أنّ يجب على لاعبيه أنّ يكونوا في قمة تركيزهم من أجل تحقيق الفوز.

ويستقبل آرسنال نظيره فولهام، مساء غدًا السبت على ملعب “الإمارات”، بالجولة الرابعة من الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز، والتي تنطلق في تمام الساعة السادسة والنصف بتوقيت القاهرة، السابعة والنصف بتوقيت مكة المكرمة.

وبدأ أرتيتا مؤتمره الصحفي بالحديث عن أكثر شيء أرضاه في مباراة بورنموث الماضية وقال: “الطريقة التي لعبنا بها والتقاط النقاط بشكل واضح ومتابعة مسيرتنا الجيدة”.

وحول الاختلافات الرئيسية بين الموسم الماضي والحالي، قال: “اللاعبون المتاحون لدينا الآن، واللاعبون الذين كانوا متاحين لدينا في ذلك الوقت، نحن في لحظة مختلفة”.

وأضاف: “لم نكن نملك نفس اللاعبين قبل عام مضى، وهُناك لاعبين كانوا يلعبون في مراكز أخرى غير مراكزهم، الآن لدينا قوة دفع جيدة، وطاقة جيدة وثقة، لذلك دعونا نستمر”. أرتيتا يحذر من صعوبة فولهام وميتروفيتش

وواصل: “مباراة فولهام؟ ستكون صعبة حقًا، لقد كانوا في مسيرة مذهلة في العام الماضي وحققوا أداءً جيدًا للغاية، ولم يخسروا أي مباراة بعد في الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز ولعبوا ضد ثلاثة خصوم صعبين للغاية، لذا يُنسب الفضل لهم، أعتقد أنها ستكون مباراة صعبة”.

وتابع: “لا يزال يملكون ميتروفيتش، وكما ترون في الموسم الماضي عندما سجل 43 هدفًا في الدوري، وقد سجل بالفعل ثلاثة أهداف هذا الموسم، سيكون تهديدًا حقيقيًا لنا”.

وحول مدى جاهزية فريقه: “نحن في مزاج حقًا والطاقة جيدة أيضًا، يتدرب الأولاد جيدًا بشكل استثنائي هذا الأسبوع مرة أخرى، وعلينا فقط تقديم أداء جيد آخر وكسب الحق في الفوز”.

وعن قرعة الدوري الأوروبي: “يجب أن نذهب إلى كل مسابقة نتواجد فيها، ونحاول الفوز بها، سنذهب خطوة بخطوة ونرى ما تجلبه القرعة ونبدأ في الاستعداد للمنافسة بأفضل طريقة ممكنة”. آرسنال تحت المراقبة بسبب اللعب المالي النظيف

وبشأن خضوع آرسنال للتحقيق من يويفا بسبب اللعب المالي النظيف: “نحن ملتزمون ولم نسمع شيئًا من الاتحاد الأوروبي لكرة القدم لذا لا أعرف من أين أتى ذلك”.

وأكمل: “أعتقد أن النادي كان منضبطًا للغاية طوال الوقت ولديه رؤية واضحة جدًا حول كيفية قيامنا بالأشياء، والقيود التي نواجهها وكيف يتعين علينا التعامل مع الأمور”. أرتيتا لم يكن على علم بمباراته الـ100 في البريميرليج!

وبسؤاله حول المباراة القادمة والتي ستكون الـ100 له في الدوري الإنجليزي: “لقد اكتشفت ذلك للتو، الوقت يمضي حقًا!، إنه لشرف كبير أن أكون في نادٍ مثل هذا وأن نصل إلى هذا الرقم، ونأمل أن نتمكن من تمديد ذلك لفترة طويلة وجلب الفرح والكثير من الانتصارات”.

وأردف ردًا على “ما تعلمه في تلك المباريات الـ99 الماضية؟”: “ما مدى صعوبة وجمال الحياة عندما تربح أو تخسر!، وخاصًة عندما نحلل الرحلة وعدد الأشياء التي حدثت، والطريقة التي يُحسب بها كل قرار، وتُدرك أنّ الاتساق مهم للغاية ويلتزم بما تؤمن به لأنه في النهاية ستحدث الأشياء”.

واختتم تصريحاته بالحديث عن مشاركة آرسنال في الدوري الأوروبي يوم الخميس وبالبريميرليج يوم الأحد قائلًا: “هذا ما نأمله، من الواضح أن هناك بعض الأشياء التي لا يمكننا السيطرة عليها – الإصابات والإيقافات كما حدث في الماضي، لكن علينا أن نحافظ على مستوى الأداء الذي نحن عليه الآن والمطلب هو القيام بذلك كل ثلاثة أيام”.

Many Glasgow Rangers fans have been left buzzing as managerial news emerged on Giovanni van Bronckhorst and Derek McInnes.

As per The Athletic, the former is now a ‘strong contender’ to replace Steven Gerrard at Ibrox and has ‘expressed his desire’ to rejoin his former club. On the other hand, McInnes – who ‘turned down’ the vacancy at the Light Blues in 2017 – is ‘not understood to be in the running’.

Van Bronckhorst has an impressive managerial CV, having guided Feyenoord to their first Eredivisie title in 18 years back in the 2016/17 season (BBC), while he also won four other major trophies with the Rotterdam club. Of course, he is also a two-time Premiership winner as a player with the Light Blues.

Meanwhile, McInnes’ CV is less convincing, with just two trophies to his name, and he has only managed St Johnstone, Bristol City and Aberdeen before.

Therefore, it is not a surprise to see so many Gers fans leaning towards the appointment of Van Bronckhorst over McInnes.

بدأ مهاجم الفريق الأول لكرة القدم بنادي برشلونة، مارتن برايثوايت، مساومة الإدارة من أجل الموافقة على الرحيل عن صفوف البلاوجرانا، قبل نهاية الميركاتو الصيفي الحالي.

هناك اهتمام قوي من أكثر من نادٍ إسباني، أبرزهم ريال مايوركا، بضم الدنماركي الدولي، ولكن هناك تعنت شديد من برايثوايت تجاه الرحيل.

وبحسب صحيفة “سبورت” الكتالونية، برايثوايت يساوم برشلونة للحصول على 5 ملايين يورو من أجل الموافقة على مغادرة “كامب نو”، ويحاول النادي الكتالوني تخفيض هذا المبلغ وإجباره على الرحيل لمدة عام على سبيل الإعارة.

سبب تعنت برايثوايت هو استبعاده من أغلب المباريات وفترة الإعداد التي خاضها برشلونة في الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية تحت قيادة تشافي هيرنانديز، وهو يعلم جيدًا أنه خارج خطط المدرب دون الحصول على أي فرصة.

هناك خياران، الأول هو أن يعود للفريق ويشارك لبضعة دقائق بعد رحيل بيير إيمريك أوباميانج وممفيس ديباي أو يدفع برشلونة مقابل العامين المتبقين في عقده بالكامل قبل فسخه.

The PCB has denied claims of considering a boycott of the 2011 World Cup under instructions from its government

Cricinfo staff18-Jul-2009The PCB has denied claims of considering a boycott of the 2011 World Cup under instructions from its government. The Pakistan board had stayed away from a meeting of the World Cup organising committee on July 14 in Mumbai, where the possibility of holding Pakistan’s matches at a neutral venue was ruled out and the decision to allocate the concerned games to the three other co-hosts, India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, was reconfirmed.”No such thing or option [of a possible boycott] has ever been discussed within the board or with the government,” Saleem Altaf, the PCB’s chief operating officer, was quoted as saying by .Pakistan was stripped of its rights to host the 2011 World Cup in the aftermath of the attacks on touring Sri Lankan cricketers in Lahore in March. Following the decision, the World Cup secretariat was moved from Lahore to Mumbai. However, Altaf was hopeful of Pakistan’s status as a co-host being reinstated, or the possibility of playing its games at a neutral venue still considered, as a consequence of negotiations with the ICC. “We are open to discussions and we want a solution to this issue because we feel moving the matches out of Pakistan was not justified at all,” he said. “But no, we have not discussed any option about boycotting the tournament if we didn’t get our share of matches back.”We are trying to convince our partners in the World Cup and the ICC how important it is for Pakistan to host the World Cup matches and that process will continue,” Altaf said. A commitment towards holding talks to reach their desired conclusion was also expressed by the PCB chairman Ijaz Butt on Wednesday.
