Spurs could’ve saved millions with steady operator Ryan Fredericks

Tottenham Hotspur have splashed the cash in the hunt to find viable replacements for Kyle Walker and then Kieran Trippier, but perhaps the answer was right under their nose all along.

He just needed a little nurturing.

Since 2017, the north London outfit have spent £23m on Serge Aurier and now £15m on Matt Doherty – a total nearing £40m is a pretty hefty investment and only goes to show how desperately they have missed the aforementioned England duo.

Two years prior to Walker’s mega-money move to Manchester City, former Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino sold Ryan Fredericks, then aged 22, to Bristol City for around £175,000, the same fee Fulham paid for him less than a month later.

He made just four senior appearances for the club and enjoyed loan spells in the Championship with Millwall and Middlesbrough between 2010 and 2015.

Where is Fredericks now?

Fredericks has since gone onto become a mainstay for local rivals West Ham United in the Premier League, where he has racked up a total of 45 appearances, per Transfermarkt.

His value now stands at £3.6m having hit a career-high £6.3m just a year ago, so it certainly seems like his exit from N17 was a little premature.

The 28-year-old isn’t as classy as a Sergio Reguilon or a Doherty, but he has proven to be a steady operator in the top-flight and prior to injury, looked to have been one of David Moyes’ best defenders.

Per WhoScored, Fredericks has averaged three key passes, 2.7 clearances, 1.7 interceptions and one tackle per game this season.

This puts him above Doherty, who has only managed 0.7 key passes and 2.3 clearances each appearance. They are both the same age, yet one was sold for £175k and the other cost £15m.

Fredericks’ recent form has led to temporary Hammers boss Alan Irvine praising him as “outstanding” and “fantastic”.

You can’t help but feel that if Pochettino brought him through gradually, then Spurs could have saved themselves millions, not just during the summer transfer window but many more, as he could have stepped up to fill the boots of Walker or Trippier – eventually.

Joel Carli é a novidade no Botafogo. Diego Giaretta foi embora na primeira barca. O clube vai se mexendo para a próxima temporada e tem na zaga uma das suas prioridades. Renan Fonseca e Roger Carvalho, importantes no acesso e título alvinegro da Série B do Campeonato Brasileiro, ainda não renovaram seus contratos e estão em compasso de espera.

Roger Carvalho tem vínculo até 5 de janeiro de 2016. O acordo com Renan Fonseca termina no próximo dia 31 de dezembro.

Com a camisa do Botafogo, Roger Carvalho disputou 30 partidas e fez sete gols. O último, na vitória sobre o ABC, em Brasília, foi de fundamental importância. O triunfo por 2 a 1 sobre a equipe potiguar garantiu o título da Série B do Brasileiro.

Renan Fonseca, por sua vez, balançou as redes dos adversários apena duas vezes e todas pelo Campeonato Estadual. O zagueiro, entretanto, disputou muito mais partidas que seu companheiro. Foram 56 jogos pela equipe alvinegra.

Flamengo define que Gabriel e Jonas ficam no clube para 2016

MatériaMais Notícias

O meia Gabriel e o volante Jonas escaparam da barca que está zarpando do Flamengo. O meia, reserva que não tem agradado à torcida, permanecerá na equipe com Muricy Ramalho na próxima temporada. Já o volante, criticado por algumas entradas violentas ao longo deste ano, também terá vez com o novo treinador da equipe rubro-negra.

Gabriel está no Flamengo desde 2013, e já soma 137 jogos. Ele marcou 17 gols neste período. Jonas foi contratado este ano junto ao Sampaio Corrêa, onde era chamado de “Schweinsteiger do Nordeste”, pela semelhança física com o meia alemão. Indicado pelo então técnico Vanderlei Luxemburgo, atuou em 36 partidas e marcou um gol.

Alguns jogadores ainda devem deixar o Flamengo em breve. A expectativa da diretoria é a de anunciar, pelo site oficial, a lista completa dos integrantes da barca na semana após o Natal. O meia Almir, o lateral-esquerdo Armero, o zagueiro Marcelo e o lateral-direito Ayrton, entretanto, já sabem que estão fora dos planos de Muricy Ramalho, sendo os primeiros confirmados pelo Rubro-Negro para a barca de 2016.

برشلونة يُعلن إصابة جديدة لـ فاتي وغيابه عن مباراة رايو فاييكانو

أعلن نادي برشلونة المنافس في بطولة الدوري الإسباني، عن إصابة جديدة قد تعرض لها جناح الفريق الأول لكرة القدم، أنسو فاتي، ولن يتواجد في مباراة رايو فاييكانو مساء اليوم الأربعاء.

ويحل برشلونة ضيفًا على ملعب “كامبو دي فاييكاس” في تمام الساعة السابعة مساء بتوقيت “القاهرة” بقيادة الحكم ماتيو لاهوز.

وكان فاتي ضمن القائمة التي أعلن عنها المدير الفني رونالد كومان يوم أمس الثلاثاء، ويتواجد فيها الإسباني ولكن الهولندي أشار إلى أن وجود اللاعب لا يعني مشاركته لأنه يعاني من بعض الآلام منذ مباراة الكلاسيكو.

وأكد البيان الصادر من برشلونة أن فاتي يعاني من إصابة في ركبته اليمنى، ولن يسافر مع الفريق إلى العاصمة مدريد لخوض مباراة رايو فاييكانو، وسيتم تقييم حالته في الأيام القليلة المقبلة.

Liverpool receive huge Sheffield United boost as Jurgen Klopp drops Alisson hint

Liverpool’s luck may have turned slightly as they head into their Saturday clash with Sheffield United in the Premier League. The tough news of Virgil van Dijk’s ACL injury has set the Reds back in their quest to hold onto their historic title. Whilst Fabinho put in a solid shift at centre-back against Ajax, there’s no telling whether his confidence will carry him through the rest of the season.

This would be a huge worry for Jurgen Klopp if he was forced to rely on Adrian in goal, but his troublesome reign in goal could be coming to an end. In his recent press conference, the German has refused to rule the Brazilian out of Saturday’s game, handing a huge boost to the fans.

“Look, in my situation, I don’t want to rule anybody out until someone tells me and so far, nobody told me,” Klopp said (via The Independent) “Maybe I should have listened better!”

A huge relief for Liverpool

Adrian stepped up the plate following Alisson’s injury news, his first Premier League performance of the season was nothing short of a disaster. The Spaniard shipped a humiliating seven goals at Villa Park, breaking Liverpool’s three-game win streak. The club’s huge 7-2 loss goes down in history – the Reds are now the first top flight title-holding side to concede seven since Arsenal in 1953 (via Goal.com).

Despite a narrow 1-0 win over Ajax on Wednesday, it was Fabinho who shut out the preying Dutchmen with a last-ditch clearance off the line after Adrian was left stranded.

Even Liverpool’s 2-2 draw against Everton will have come as a huge disappointment. The Toffees remain top of the table, three points ahead of their local rivals. Whilst the gap isn’t something to worry about at the moment, it’s easy for a team to pull away once they find their groove – something Liverpool themselves can vouch for after finishing 18 points clear last season.

Klopp’s hopeful comments could see Alisson return to the action and help make up for the loss of van Dijk in defence. If the Reds can seal a win against Sheffield United, it will lift morale and see the reigning champions return to their usual, dominant displays.

Aston Villa’s Said Benrahma snub could see Trezeguet step up

After seeing summer transfer target Said Benrahma join West Ham on deadline day, Aston Villa could see the best of Trezeguet this season.

What’s the word?

Reports in recent months had suggested Dean Smith’s side were targeting a move for the Algeria international, with Villa eventually signing Benrahma’s Brentford teammate Ollie Watkins.

In the end, it was Villa’s fellow Premier League side, West Ham, who swooped in at the last moment to snap up Benrahma on an initial loan deal, with an obligation to buy.

Despite missing out on one of their key targets, it could have a very positive consequence on a player already at the club.

Time for Trezeguet to shine

Having joined Villa from Turkish club Kasimpasa last summer, it’s fair to say Trezeguet had a promising debut campaign in English football.

The Egypt international – valued at £7.2m by Transfermarkt – scored seven goals across all competitions last season, including a truly priceless winner against Arsenal in the penultimate game of the Premier League – a result that effectively sealed Villa’s status in the top-flight.

Despite playing 41 times, including featuring in 34 out of the 38 league games, Trezeguet may have been looking anxiously over his shoulders amid Villa’s interest in Benrahma.

Of course, Smith’s side did end up bringing in Bertrand Traore from Lyon, but Benrahma’s previous history with the Villa boss, and the fact he would have come in for a hefty price, may have seen Trezeguet slip into the shadows.

Instead, the fact that they missed out on him, could see him take his game up a level. He already has a full campaign of English football under his belt now, and that will stand him in good stead for this season.

Speaking after his winner against Arsenal, Trezeguet’s teammate, Tyrone Mings, hailed him as “brilliant” and that he’s an “important player” for the club. With no Benrahma, the Egyptian can knuckle down and light up Villa Park.

In other news, this Aston Villa star could wreak havoc against Leicester.

Jadson recebe proposta de time chinês comandado por Luxemburgo

MatériaMais Notícias

Jadson voltou a ficar na mira de um clube chinês. O Tianjin Songjiang, que é comandado pelo técnico Vanderlei Luxemburgo, encaminhou nesta quinta-feira uma proposta para o empresário do meia, Marcelo Robalinho, e para a diretoria do Corinthians. Com valores fora da realidade, desta vez o jogador tende a aceitar o desafio de atuar na Ásia.

No início deste ano, Jadson decidiu não aceitar uma oferta do Jiangsu Sainty, também da China. Na ocasião, pesaram a vontade dele e da família permanecerem no Brasil, além de uma conversa com o técnico Tite, que o convenceu a seguir no clube para a disputa do Brasileirão – ele terminou como um dos principais destaques da campanha do hexa.

Após contratar Luxemburgo, o Tianjin Songjiang não vem medindo esforços para reforçar seu elenco para a disputa da Segunda Divisão do Campeonato Chinês. O atacante Luis Fabiano, que estava no São Paulo, deve ser anunciado em breve pelo clube. Luxemburgo, neste momento, está no Brasil e já conversou por telefone com os jogadores que quer levar.

Jadson tem contrato com o Timão até o fim de agosto de 2016, após uma renovação justamente no meio do ano, quando recebeu a primeira oferta chinesa. O jogador e seus empresários têm 70% dos direitos econômicos, enquanto o Corinthians tem os 30% restantes.

Spurs boss Jose Mourinho playing with fire over Carlos Vinicius

Tottenham Hotspur romped to a resounding victory in the Europa League on Thursday evening, defeating Ludogorets in their own back yard 3-1, and whilst Jose Mourinho will be happy with his side’s reaction, he himself is playing a rather risky game.

The north Londoners finally ended their hunt for a back-up striker after they brought in Carlos Vinicius on loan from Benfica, paying £2.7m in fees with an option-to-buy thought to be around €45m (£40.5m).

Although, the Brazilian powerhouse has struggled thus far but he isn’t the man to be blamed.

The 25-year-old scored 18 goals in 32 league appearances last season and has failed to get off the mark for his new club in three Europa League matches, per WhoScored.

On Thursday night, Vinicius was granted another opportunity – replacing Harry Kane at half-time – but failed to impress. Football.London’s Alasdair Gold graded his second-half display a 4/10, and said:

“Another 45 minutes for Spurs’ number 45, he skied an opportunity moments after the hosts’ goal which perhaps summed up his night. Worked hard but his quality was sorely lacking in the final third and this was the least promising of his three appearances so far.”

Well, it’s no surprise that he’s lacking in confidence after he was wrongly part of the four players that were hauled off during last week’s defeat to Royal Antwerp.

Mourinho launched a scathing attack on his squad, claiming that his future choices would now be “very easy,” It was a warning shot at the likes of Vinicius, Dele Alli and Steven Bergwijn.

The Benfica loanee would then be left out of their Premier League win over Brighton at the weekend.

At Ludogorets, Vinicius at three shots – none on target – and also won just 33% of his duels, was offside once and lost possession five times, via SofaScore.

Dubbed “exciting” by Spurs legend Glenn Hoddle on BT Sport (via the Daily Mail), Mourinho is on verge of making a huge blunder over his no.2 striker – they surely do not want another Dele Alli situation on their hands.

Nor will they want Vinicius to follow the same path of Roberto Soldado or Vincent Janssen. That would be inexcusable after Daniel Levy backed him to the hills this summer.
