Sheffield United have pulled out of talks to sign Celtic goalkeeper Vasilis Barkas, according to The Scottish Daily Mail.

The Lowdown: Surplus to requirements

The Hoops are looking to offload a number of players in the final days of the January transfer window after making five signings, with the Greece international among those expected to depart.

Ange Postecoglou has already allowed Conor Hazard to join HJK Helsinki on a year-long loan deal, leaving him with Joe Hart, Scott Bain and Barkas as senior goalkeeping options.

Barkas has made just one appearance under Postecoglou all season and Celtic have high hopes for youngster Tobi Oluwayemi, but it seems as if the Hoops won’t accept any offer for the 27-year-old.

The Latest: Nicholson digs in his heels

The Scottish Daily Mail [25/1/22, print edition p.79], as relayed by 67 Hail Hail, claimed that the Blades were keen on taking Barkas to Bramall Lane.

However, the Hoops – and by extension CEO Michael Nicholson – demanded a loan fee and for Sheffield United to cover the goalkeeper’s £20,000-a-week wage. As a result, the English Championship side have pulled out of talks, as have an unnamed Swedish club.

The Verdict: Interesting

Celtic also wanted to include a £2.5m option-to-buy in any loan deal, along with a sell-on clause, after paying £4.5m for the Greece international in 2020.

You can see where the Hoops are coming from regarding numerous demands and clauses, but should they fail to offload Barkas this month, he could go several months without any first-team action.

You’d expect that such an eventuality would impact his market value in the summer, but hopefully the club can find him a new club before Monday’s transfer deadline.

West Indies cricket continues to lurch from crisis to crisis and each time there is a glimmer of light they find a way to hit new depths

West Indies cricket continues to lurch from crisis to crisis and each time there is a glimmer of light they find a way to hit new depths. Ottis Gibson has returned home to take on the demanding role of trying to instil some fight and spirit back into the team and at least the recent one-day series victory against Zimbabwe reversed a depressing run of results. In truth, though, a revival has rarely felt further away.However, a quick-fire Twenty20 tournament could provide the kick that is desperately needed. Throw in home advantage and, hopefully, some passionate support from the locals and it isn’t beyond the realms of possibility that they could last the distance – at least until the semi-finals. Any tournament is better the longer the hosts can maintain a challenge and it only takes a couple of innings from Chris Gayle – whose form is a barometer for the rest of his side – and suddenly the belief will begin to return.In the broader picture it is vital that this tournament is a success for the Caribbean after the debacle of the 2007 World Cup. The organisers have promised a more sympathetic handling of the event than three years back, by embracing the local culture, but nothing would help more than seeing Gayle lead his team out in the final. It’s a long shot, but not impossible.Twenty20 pedigreeThey reached the semi-final stage in England last year – dispatching Australia and the hosts on their way – while Gayle still holds the record for the highest individual score in World Twenty20 tournaments with his 117 in the opening game of the first event in South Africa. Of late their form has been less impressive with an embarrassing defeat against Zimbabwe in Trinidad when they limped to 79 for 7 chasing 106 on a turgid surface. The opening match against Ireland is a potential banana skin, but they have a good record against England in Twenty20 having beaten them in last year’s tournament.Strengths and weaknessesWest Indies are not short on batsmen who can clear the boundary. Brett Lee is still waiting for Gayle’s strike from last year to come down somewhere near The Oval, while Dwayne Bravo and Kieron Pollard are also fearsome strikers of the ball. One area of concern will be the pace-bowling department which is still without Fidel Edwards while Jerome Taylor is nursing his way back from injury. There is also the fear that if things start to go wrong they can unravel very quickly. In a short tournament like this you can be gone before it’s barely started.Key menOf course it’s difficult to look past Chris Gayle because the team responds to their captain but Dwayne Bravo, despite a pretty woeful IPL where he scored 61 runs in eight innings and claimed four wickets at 57 for Mumbai Indians, is a wonderful cricketer and is the embodiment of the spirit that the team so desperately needs. He will want to reconfirm his credentials and should rise to the big occasion. Often outstanding at the death with the ball, he is among the finest fielders on the world.X-factorSulieman Benn doesn’t come across as the most natural of Twenty20 cricketers; he isn’t the best of fielders and can’t offer much with the bat but with the ball he could be a vital weapon if the pitches remain slow. Don’t be surprised if he takes the new ball, as he did against Zimbabwe when he finished with the extraordinary figures of 4 for 6.Vital statsGayle’s Twenty20 international strike-rate is a more-than-handy 144.92 and he has struck 25 sixes in 14 inningsKemar Roach’s IPL didn’t quite go to plan. He played two matches, bowled eight overs and went for 80 runs. The faster they come, the faster they go.

Apresentado oficialmente pela diretoria do América-MG como novo reforço para esta temporada, o lateral-direito Aderlan está motivado para estrear pelo clube mineiro. Feliz com a oportunidade, o jogador falou sobre a expectativa para 2018 com o Coelho na Série A.

– Quando recebi o convite do América-MG não pensei muito. É um grande clube do futebol brasileiro, que está retornando à primeira divisão este ano. Quero fazer uma grande temporada no clube. Tenho certeza que 2018 será muito bom para o torcedor do América – comentou o atleta.

Para Aderlan, um dos fatores positivos da equipe do Coelho é o entrosamento. O lateral espera que a união do grupo fortaleça o time nas competições.

– O América terá um ano muito intenso pela frente e precisa estar preparado. O grupo já se conhece bem do ano passado e isso é importante. Reforços, como eu, estão chegando para fortalecer o elenco. A união de todos aqui contará muito – afirmou o jogador.

A estreia do América-MG no estadual acontece na próxima quarta-feira, dia 17 de janeiro, contra o Patrocinense, às 19h30, no Independência.

Jordan Campbell has now revealed the latest on a potential Glasgow Rangers exit for Jack Simpson.

The Lowdown: Simpson rumours

There have been rumours going around that the Ibrox faithful have accepted a bid from QPR for Simpson, while both Middlesbrough and Swansea City have also been linked with a move for the former Bournemouth man.

He is not getting much game time at all for the Gers, having only played in five matches across all competitions so far this season, so an exit on Transfer Deadline Day does look likely at this stage.

The Latest: Campbell update

As per The Athletic journalist Campbell, reports linking Simpson with a move to QPR are ‘untrue’, and while both Swansea and Middlesbrough have made enquiries over a potential loan deal, Rangers would prefer to sell him on a permanent transfer. Campbell revealed:

“Understand that reports Jack Simpson is heading to QPR are untrue. “Swansea and Middlesbrough among the teams to have enquired about a loan deal but it’s believed Rangers will only consider a permanent transfer.” The Verdict: Sell

If the Gers can negotiate a permanent exit for Simpson, then they must do at all costs. He is simply not playing enough and would not be a big loss to Giovanni van Bronckhorst and his squad.

When he has played, he has often been criticised by both journalists and fans alike, and in truth, his move to Scottish football has not quite worked out.

Thus, given that he is 25 years of age, they could still get a decent transfer fee for him should they be able to sell.

Some inept West Indian fielding towards the end, and lack of intensity in pushing for an unlikely win, let them down and it was left to AB de Villiers to steer the more deserving team home

It really shouldn’t have got so close. South Africa appeared to have the match in the bag while Hashim Amla was at the crease and for a while after too, but somehow found a way to press the pressure button and take the game to the final ball. Some inept West Indian fielding towards the end, and lack of intensity in pushing for an unlikely win, let them down and it was left to AB de Villiers to steer the more deserving team home.The required run rate soared to 8.60 at the end of the 45th over, when South Africa had to take the mandatory batting Powerplay. Two missed chances in the outfield gave South Africa a breather and it came down to the final over, when the visitors needed a more manageable three. The scores were level after the first two balls, but Dwayne Bravo tightened the noose in the next three. de Villiers pushed the third to mid-on, shouldered arms outside off to the fourth expecting it to be a wide before failing to dig out a yorker. The infield was packed and the din around the ground increased with the expectation of a great escape. de Villiers squirted the last ball to Darren Sammy at short midwicket, who ought to have effected an easy run-out but failed to gather the ball and fluffed a throw at the stumps.Though both teams made blunders under pressure towards the end, West Indies had more wounds to tend to, primarily because of an underwhelming display in the field. With both Kemar Roach and Jerome Taylor out injured, they lacked a raw quick bowler to hurry the batsmen with bounce on a good batting pitch, and the support cast of medium pacers were ineffective with the new ball. South Africa exploited that weakness for the most part and it seemed that only complacency could cost them the game, which it almost did.Their response to 303 was set up by Hashim Amla, who was at the centrefold spread again with an ice-cool century, his second in the series . His is not a commercially driven slam-bang approach which would make IPL scouts sit up and watch. He relies more on conventional strokes and a risk-free approach, accelerating according to the match situation and picking up singles whenever possible. He battled exhaustion, scored the bulk of his runs in singles – only 30 of his runs came off boundaries when he reached his century – and could have batted till the end if his body allowed him.Using the crease, Amla drove through the covers, played short-arm pulls, cut past backward point and even scooped Sammy for six over long-off. West Indies set innovative fields for Graeme Smith – placing two short midwickets – but not for Amla. Having taken so many runs off them in the series so far, West Indies could have identified a weakness and forced him to do something different, but instead just went through the motions. The intensity dropped after Smith’s dismissal as Amla calmly collected the singles and reached his fifty, off 45 balls.He took charge of two stands of 59 and 119 with Smith and Jacques Kallis respectively, and continued grafting it out till he neared his century. A squirt to backward point got him there, but he was already running low on battery, squatting on the pitch whenever he had a breather. He tried hitting out to conserve energy, but eventually fell to a tired shot to long-off. As he trudged back, South Africa were still in control with 80 needed off nearly 12 overs with seven wickets in hand.They were lucky to have an in-form de Villiers at the crease, but the man at the other end, JP Duminy, wasn’t as fluent. West Indies plugged things back to such an extent that they didn’t concede a boundary for close to nine overs. The required rate soared to nine before de Villiers eased the pressure with a paddled-four off Ravi Rampaul. Duminy was let off twice, first by Dwayne Bravo and then Darren Bravo. An 18-run over off Kieron Pollard tilted the game back in South Africa’s favour before fortunes oscillated again till the final ball.The drama overshadowed what was an impressive comeback by the West Indian batsmen after the third ODI. It was a lesson in crafting an ideal one-day innings – start off aggressively, consolidate in the middle overs and keep wickets in hand and then let loose in the slog overs. The three main players in each of those phases were Dale Richards, Shivnarine Chanderpaul and Darren Bravo, who dictated terms in different styles to take West Indies to 303 and give the Sunday crowd at Windsor Park a match to watch.Richards compensated for Chris Gayle’s failure with an attacking knock, using the crease well to unfurl elegant shots down the ground. The South Africans were disciplined through the middle overs to peg West Indies back, but importantly, the duo of Chanderpaul and Dwayne Bravo were prepared to see off the period by grafting, instead of letting the frustration get to their heads.West Indies took the Powerplay in the 45th over and the pair of Darren Bravo and Pollard inflicted maximum damage in a stand of 59. Darren Bravo, who has a style to match Brian Lara with his trademark high backlift and stylish foot movements, punctuated the passage of play with carved boundaries over extra cover and a one-handed six over long-off. Pollard, under pressure to deliver for West Indies, brought out a couple of monster hits off Charl Langeveldt to take West Indies towards 300.Unfortunately, it was a day the hosts couldn’t get their batting and bowling to click in cohesion and as the series rolls into the final dead rubber on Thursday, the same questions on skill and commitment will be asked.

Tottenham Hotspur failed to find Antonio Conte a new right wing-back in January but there could be a ready-made solution already at the club.

And it’s not Emerson Royal or Matt Doherty…

January disaster

According to The Times, the Italian head coach was keen to bolster the right flank with a new option as he does not believe that the Brazilian, who was signed from Barcelona in the summer, fits the profile he needs in the final third.

Similarly, the Ireland international was made available for a transfer but evidently, no departure materialised.

Former Wolverhampton Wanderers powerhouse Adama Traore emerged as a key target, but it’s thought that the Spaniard rejected the opportunity as he had doubts over playing a wing-back role, before he rejoined Barcelona instead.

Tariq Lamptey of Brighton and Hove Albion was also considered but that was seen as too expensive to even bother pursuing.

Academy solution?

With lingering doubts over his only two senior options at right wing-back, Conte could do little wrong in promoting Marcel Lavinier from the academy as the 21-year-old continues to make his mark.

The youngster was part of Spurs’ 25-man squad for the UEFA Europa Conference League and unlike the aforementioned first-team duo, he offers rapid acceleration and pace that’ll undoubtedly cause trouble in the final third and will only help in tracking back.

‘Lavinier loves to get forward and is very direct – often looking up and aiming to ping balls into the area, but he’s an equally competent defender,’ claim the Daily Mail.

‘His confidence is boosted by how comfortable he is on the ball – he’s a decent finisher for a defender and has considerable technique, making him a great option as an attacking full-back.’

Lavinier left Chelsea for Hotspur Way and it was surprising that the Champions of Europe didn’t stand in his way, having contributed three goals and eight assists across the U18 and U21 squads, per Transfermarkt.

He has also already tasted 16 minutes of first-team action, having been handed a debut by Jose Mourinho last season, so he wouldn’t be overawed by the prospect of battling Emerson and Doherty for that starting XI spot.

Under the right coaching, Lavinier could really blossom into the attacking wing-back that Conte is so desperate for at Spurs. There will not be a better manager to make this happen, so the Italian should turn to the young U21 speed demon in the coming weeks.

O FlamengoO Flamengo está classificado para as oitavas de final da Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior. Em partida disputada contra o Coritiba, na Arena Barueri, o Rubro-Negro contou com um gol contra do zagueiro Henrique para passar para a próxima fase da competição que abre o calendário do futebol brasileiro.

O Rubro-Negro comandou a maioria das ações durante os noventa minutos e buscouo gol durante toda a primeira etapa. O Coritiba estava mais focado no sistema defensivo e apostava nos contra-ataques rápidos na primeira etapa para tentar abrir o placar.

Na segunda etapa, o Flamengo seguiu pressionando e conseguiu abrir o placar com bola na área do Coxa. Aos 31 minutos, Yuri cruzou e o zagueiro Henrique, do Coritiba, acabou desviando contra o próprio patrimônio.

Nos minutos finais, o Flamengo ainda teve a chance de ampliar o placar, mas Hugo Moura desperdiçou uma penalidade máxima. Quem garantiu a vaga também foi o goleiro Yago, que nos minutos finais fez uma defesa íncrivel, após chute de Luizinho.
