CPFC: Fans react to Roy Hodgson comments

Plenty of Crystal Palace fans have reacted to Roy Hodgson’s latest comments regarding his future after they emerged on social media.

Hodgson, 73, is out of contract at Selhurst Park in around seven weeks time, however, the club or the manager are yet to confirm their plans for the 2021/22 season.

A number of managers have been linked with replacing Hodgson, including Sean Dyche, Frank Lampard, Eddie Howe, Patrick Vieira and Paulo Fonseca.

Palace fell to a 3-1 defeat to Southampton on Tuesday evening, and talking after the game, Hodgson was quizzed on his future.

Talking to Sky, relayed by Guardian reporter Ed Aarons on social media, Hodgson confirmed he will inform relevant parties on what he plans to do at the end of the season.

“I shall let people know what I shall be doing at the end of the season when the time is right. But I’m not going to answer the question until such time as I want to.”

The Eagles still have three Premier League fixtures remaining, with their final match of the season against Liverpool at Anfield on May 23.

Palace fans react

This is what these Palace fans had to say in reply to Aarons’ Twitter post. Plenty were angry with Hodgson, with one describing his comments as ‘arrogant’, while one pointed the finger at Steve Parish.

“He’s done”Credit: @Sumo08112″Happy retirement, you killed my club. Cheers.”Credit: @HenryKerrG”If you want Roy Hodgson to stay then be prepared to watch the same boring football which suits Parish as long as he keeps Palace in the Prem! The only way forward is for Parish to go!”Credit: @Paul06179713″This is real selfish of Roy, the uncertainty behind the club, including the players and manager has contributed to our poor form across the season.

تقارير: جيرارد يوجه أنظار أستون فيلا نحو فينالدوم

يفكر نادي أستون فيلا في إعادة جورجينيو فينالدوم لاعب باريس سان جيرمان إلى الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز، في الصيف المقبل.

وكان فينالدوم قد رحل عن إنجلترا بمغادرة ليفربول الصيف الماضي، عقب انتهاء عقده، حيث انضم إلى باريس سان جيرمان في صفقة مجانية.

وفشل لاعب الوسط الهولندي في إثبات نفسه مع الأمراء الفرنسيين خاصة أنه لم يحصل على فرص لعب منتظم، واعترف قبل ذلك أنه لا يشعر بحالة من السعادة في النادي الباريسي.

وذكرت صحيفة “ذا صن” الإنجليزية، نقلًا عن “سبورت” الإسبانية، أن أستون فيلا يدرس إمكانية التعاقد مع جورجينيو فينالدوم من صفوف باريس سان جيرمان نهاية الموسم الحالي.

وأوضحت أن أستون فيلا بقيادة المدرب ستيفن جيرارد يراقب وضع فينالدوم عن كثب مع سان جيرمان تحسبًا لإمكانية ضمه.

وأشارت إلى أن باريس سان جيرمان مستعد للسماح برحيل فينالدوم، الذي سينتهي عقده في 2024، مقابل 21 مليون جنيه إسترليني.

وأفادت أن جيرارد حريص على ضم اللاعب البالغ من العمر 31 عامًا، والذي انضم إلى الريدز بعد عام واحد فقط من رحيله إلى لوس أنجلوس جالاكسي.

جيرارد سبق له وأن حصل على نجم سابق في ليفربول وهو فيليب كوتينيو، الذي سبق لهما العمل في الأنفيلد.

انضم كوتينيو إلى فيلانز على سبيل الإعارة من برشلونة، حيث عانى من أربع سنوات محبطة.

كان لاعب الوسط المهاجم يعيد اكتشاف براعته في الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز تحت قيادة زميله السابق في الفريق بثلاثة أهداف وثلاث تمريرات حاسمة في سبع مباريات في الدوري الممتاز.

Saints eye Loftus-Cheek

According to The Daily Express, Southampton are interested in signing Chelsea midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek this summer.

The Lowdown: Busy summer ahead

This campaign has been a mixed one for the Saints. It started positively – they were top of the Premier League at one point – and they also reached the FA Cup semi-final. However, they underperformed against Leicester City at Wembley as they lost 1-0, while they have dropped into the bottom half of the league table and were very much looking like they could be in relegation trouble until recent weeks.

With Ryan Bertrand confirmed to be leaving (southamptonfc.com) and Danny Ings linked with a move away (Sky Sports), there could be plenty of transfer business conducted at St. Mary’s Stadium this summer.

The Latest: Saints eye Loftus-Cheek

In terms of arrivals, it is being reported that Ralph Hasenhuttl and co are interested in midfielder Loftus-Cheek, who has spent the season on loan at relegated Fulham.

The Saints are said to be eager to sign him on a season-long loan with a view to a permanent deal if the agreement is a success. He is believed to be valued by the Blues at £20m and earns £120,000 a week.

The Verdict: Unfulfilled potential

Loftus-Cheek, it feels, has been around for years, yet he is still to fulfil his undoubtedly huge potential. He has made 82 appearances for Chelsea, scoring 12 goals and providing 11 assists (Transfermarkt), while he also has 10 England caps to his name. Yet, at the age of 25, he has just spent the season at a side who will be dropping back down to the Championship at the first time of asking.

Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel recently compared him to Michael Ballack, who scored 151 goals throughout an illustrious career. That suggests he may have a chance of making it at Stamford Bridge, but with the plethora of options available to Tuchel, there is no guarantee. A switch to Southampton could be a fantastic move for all involved.

O comandante do Cruzeiro orientou apenas um trabalho técnico para os jogadores. O desfalque do dia foi o meia Marcos Vinícius, que ficou só na academia.

Sarri now willing to join Spurs

Speaking on Italian television show Si Gonfia La Rete (via Area Napoli), journalist Raffaele Auriemma has dropped a Tottenham Hotspur managerial claim involving Maurizio Sarri – with the reporter claiming he ‘would like’ to join either Spurs or Arsenal.

The Lowdown: Sarri touted as candidate

When it comes to Sarri, the media in England and Italy have two very contrasting views on the 62-year-old possibly being appointed by Tottenham.

On one hand, Football Italia and Calciomercato.it both claim that Tottenham have actually even made contact with the former Chelsea manager.

Sources closes to home, however, like football.london reporter Alasdair Gold, dismiss Sarri as a boss currently attracting interest from Spurs.

The Latest: Sarri ‘would like’ to join Spurs

Bringing another claim from Italy, journalist Auriemma has told TV show Si Gonfia La Rete that Sarri (via Area Napoli) ‘would like’ to join either Spurs or Arsenal.

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

The reporter wasn’t alone, either, with another journalist on the programme, Christian Bosco, stating the Serie A-winning boss ‘would prefer’ a move back to the Premier League.

It is also added by Auriemma that Sarri’s agent, Fali Ramadani, was in England ‘until a few days ago’.

The Verdict: Spurs, you know what to do…

The Transfer Tavern has often promoted Sarri as an ideal candidate for the Spurs job and somebody chairman Daniel Levy shouldn’t dismiss so quickly.

He promotes a possession-based, high-pressing style which should be a real incentive for Tottenham to consider making the move.

It is reported that Levy desires a boss who can bring back an attack-minded way of playing and Sarri may be a brilliant candidate to reinstall that exciting brand of football at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Sarri has an admirer, too, in Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola.

The Spaniard, in awe of Sarri’s managerial style, lauded him as ‘one of the absolute best’ who implements a style of football which is ‘out of this world’ (Planet Football).

He is available, a free agent and allegedly keen on the job – Levy, you know what to do.

Por fim, o médico comentou que tem estimulado Neto a não tentar se lembrar do acidentes.

– Apartir do momento que nós contamos que foi um acidente ele começou a se lembrar. Ele começou a assistir alguns vídeos, eu tive uma conversa com ele para que ele pare de assistir esses vídeos, pare de instigar a lembrança dele para retornar, porque é importante que ele se mantenha forte para se recuperar- finalizou.

A gente conseguiu deixar eles bem estáveis e o transporte deve ser bem tranquilo. A aeronave da FAB é uma aeronave bem estruturada.

وعلق على موقف الزمالك في المجموعة قائلًا: “لدينا ثقة في أنفسنا على تجاوز هذا الموقف، وسنخوض كل المباريات بهدف واحد وهو تحقيق الفوز”.

وأتم منوهًا إلى أن أزمة القيد لم تؤثر على فريق الكرة، خاصة وأن اللاعبين هم من يصنعون الفارق ومن يتحملون المسؤولية في الفترة المقبلة.

ميدو يوجه رسالة للاعبي الأهلي قبل مباراة المريخ ويحذر وكيل محمد صلاح

تحدث أحمد حسام ميدو لاعب ومدرب الزمالك السابق، عن مواجهة الأهلي والمريخ في دوري أبطال إفريقيا، موجهًا رسالة إلى لاعبي القلعة الحمراء.

الأهلي يستعد لمواجهة المريخ السوداني، يوم الجمعة 18 مارس، في إطار منافسات الجولة الخامسة من دور المجموعات لدوري أبطال إفريقيا.

وقال ميدو خلال تصريحات لبرنامج “الريمونتادا” على قناة “المحور”: “أنصح لاعبي الأهلي بعدم الانشغال بأزمات نادي المريخ، وأن تكون كل تذلك الظروف دافعًا لتحقيق المكسب”.

وأضاف: “يجب على موسيماني أن يراجع المباراة الأولى أمام المريخ بشكل جيد جدًا، لأن الفريق السوداني سبب مشاكل كثيرة جدًا لخط دفاع الأهلي”.

وتابع: “هناك مشكلة كبيرة متواجدة في فريق الأهلي، وهي المساحات المتواجدة خلف علي معلول، وهذا يجعل المدافع يميل عليه ليغطي على خطأ معلول، مثلما يفعل محمد عبد المنعم، وهذا يجعل الأهلي يعاني دفاعيًا في العمق”.

من جانب آخر، علق على تطورات محمد صلاح مع ناديه ليفربول، بشأن استمراره أو رحيله، قائلًا: “أي نادي كبير في العالم يتمنى التعاقد مع محمد صلاح”.

وواصل: “محمد صلاح قد يكون الخيار الأفضل بالنسبة لمنظومة تشافي مدرب برشلونة ومشروعه، وقد يكون القطعة الناقصة بالنسبة للمدرب، ولكن لا أعتقد أن برشلونة قادر على دفع راتب صلاح”.

وأردف: “أتوقع أول اختيار لمحمد صلاح حال رحيله عن ليفربول سيكون خارج انجلترا، وأكثر ناديين مناسبين لصلاح ريال مدريد وبايرن ميونخ، ولكن باريس سان جيرمان هناك جزء من المخاطرة لأنه لا يسير بشكل جيد”.

وأكمل: “تقابلت مع رامي عباس وكيل أعمال محمد صلاح، وهو شخص ذكي جدًا، ردود فعله على تويتر ممكن (تأذي) صلاح أكثر ما تفيده، نادي ليفربول لن يتأثر بمثل هذه الأمور، صلاح ورامي عباس محظوظين أنهم مع مدرب متزن جدًا في كلامه مثل كلوب، لو مورينيو كان فعل مشكلة مع صلاح وهذه المشكلة كان ممكن تأتي بالسلب على الفريق”.

Falta pouco! Cruzeiro pode anunciar Jadson ainda este ano

MatériaMais Notícias

O Cruzeiro está a um passo de anunciar Jadson como novo reforço para 2017. O jogador que foi um dos destaques do Corinthians em 2015, campanha que deu o título brasileiro para o clube.

Leicester interested in Gravillon

Leicester City could land their perfect heir to Jonny Evans this summer after being linked with a move for Inter defender Andreaw Gravillon.

What’s the story?

According to French outlet Foot Mercato, the Foxes are one of many clubs interested in acquiring the 23-year-old’s services this summer after his impressive loan spell at Ligue 1 outfit Lorient.

The report claims fellow Premier League sides Southampton and Crystal Palace are also monitoring Gravillon’s situation, as well as several big European clubs, including Marseille, Olympiacos and Anderlecht.

New Jonny Evans

Gravillon caught the eye as he played a pivotal part in Lorient’s fight to retain their top-flight status, starting 26 league games, scoring once and providing two assists in the process.

It was against former French champions Paris Saint-Germain when Gravillon particularly rose to prominence. The towering defender made eight clearances and six interceptions – both the highest totals on the pitch – as Les Merlus defeated the capital club 3-2.

His WhoScored rating of 7.51 was the highest of any non-goalscorer, and the Parisians only got the better of Gravillon via two Neymar penalties, with Kylian Mbappe experiencing a remarkably quiet night, as his 6.11 rating shows.

Christophe Pelissier’s side are reportedly keen to retain the Frenchman’s service for next season, but they’ll face stiff competition from the likes of Leicester.

The San Siro academy graduate had previously enjoyed a string of other loan spells before he found his feet in his homeland in 2020/21 and now looks set for a permanent move away from the Italian champions.

In a recent interview, Gravillon revealed he’s open-minded about where his future may lie, admitting nothing has been decided yet.

“Once the season is over, we will see with my agents whether we should stay in Lorient, return to Inter, go elsewhere. We do not know. We’ll see. We will wait until the season to see how things will go, ” he said.

His comments leave the door open to a possible summer switch to the King Power Stadium, where Gravillon could be the perfect heir to an ageing Jonny Evans.

The 33-year-old Northern Ireland international was one of a number of centre-back options who picked up a string of injuries in the recently concluded campaign as Brendan Rodgers’ charges finished fifth, and the departure of Wes Morgan means reinforcements are required for the Midlands outfit.

Comfortable playing at right-back as well as his preferred role in the heart of defence, the £4.5m-rated (as per Transfermarkt) Gravillon appears to be a logical fit for Leicester, and the club’s director of football Jon Rudkin may have already found the Foxes’ future replacement for their first-choice centre-half.
