Pundit says Borner’s Wednesday contract row will "get messy"

Carlton Palmer admits the contract situation hanging over Julian Borner and Sheffield Wednesday is “going to get messy”.

The German defender is attempting to force through a move to Hannover 96 following the Yorkshire club’s relegation into League One.

Financial difficulties had seen some members of Wednesday’s squad not paid, resulting in a number of senior players considering handing in their two-week period of written notice.

The PFA have also got involved as it has been reported that players have not been paid either in full or on time for the past three months.

Borner, who made 30 appearances for the Hillsborough club last season, believes he should be able to walk away from Wednesday on a free transfer and is supposedly opening arbitration proceedings as a result of unpaid wages.

Hannover have already agreed a contract with the 30-year-old but Wednesday are holding firm and insist he cannot rip up his deal, which still has a year to run.

Palmer, who had two spells with the Owls during his playing career, does not see how the situation can be resolved amicably.

Speaking exclusively to Football FanCast, he said: “It’s going to get messy because it’s an interpretation. If the players haven’t been paid for a period of time then they are entitled to exercise the right to cancel their contracts.

“The problem is when they have been paid part of their salary. My understanding is that the players have been paid part of their wages. As long as they’ve been paid part of their wages, they’re in a situation where they’re owed money but they can’t cancel their contract.

“Obviously you’re going to get some agents who are going to try to be clever and say he hasn’t been in full so we’re entitled to cancel the contract. My understanding is they can’t do that.”

Bueno supera estrelas do Santos para ser 'cara da classificação' no Paulista

MatériaMais Notícias

Pela primeira vez Lucas Lima e Ricardo Oliveira estarão juntos em um jogo fora de casa no Paulistão nesta temporada. Depois de todos os desencontros, a dupla finalmente terá a chance de comandar o Peixe em uma vitória, neste sábado, contra o Santo André, no ABC Paulista, às 15h, mas não é por causa dele que o Alvinegro tem grandes chances de se classificar antecipadamente.

O comandante das vitórias do Santos tem sido outro: Vitor Bueno. O camisa 7 traz na bagagem quatro gols nas cinco vitórias do Peixe no Paulistão. Só não ajudou na goleada sobre o São Bernardo porque não esteve em campo

Porém, o “marujo” santista não tem só alegrias para contar histórias. Nem sempre o mar foi calmo para o dono da Vila Belmiro no Paulista. Até chegar na liderança do Grupo D, o Peixe teve muitos icebergs pelo caminho. Para Vitor Bueno, uma ponta foi quase vital.

Diante do Palmeiras, a derrota mais amarga do Santos no ano, de virada, em casa, o camisa 7 teve a chance de abrir o placar, mas errou o chute sem goleiro e em baixo da trave.

A recuperação veio na última rodada, contra o São Bento. Depois de muito sufoco, foi dos pés dele que saiu o primeiro gol da vitória de 2 a 0 e o alívio

– Eu errei um gol inacreditável na partida contra o Palmeiras, que eu não poderia errar. Eu ficaria muito chateado se eu fosse torcedor e o jogador do meu time errasse aquele gol. Pô, eu iria querer matar ele. Por isso entendi a reação dos torcedores. Alguns vieram me apoiar e agradeço ao apoio e carinho. Vou procurar fazer o meu melhor para trazer orgulho para essa torcida maravilhosa. Vamos juntos. Tenho certeza que esse ano a conquista será grande – prevê o comandante, que avista bons horizontes para o Santos no ano.

Depois de prender em sua rede São Bento, Botafogo-SP, Red Bull e Linense, Bueno não pretende voltar de Santo André sem uma nova vítima. Resta saber se com ele, vem a classificação antecipada para a segunda fase.

Rare W.G.Grace book rescued from the bin is presented to Somerset Cricket Museum

The Somerset Cricket Museum has very recently been presented with a rare cricket book that was destined for the rubbish bin, and this will shortly be on view to the general public

Richard Walsh10-Aug-2002The Somerset Cricket Museum has very recently been presented with a rare cricket book that was destined for the rubbish bin, and this will shortly be on view to the general public.The book entitled `Cricket’ by W.G.Grace, is number 245 of only 652 copies of the special edition that were produced. It was first published by Arrowsmiths in Bristol in 1891,with each one being signed in ink by the legendary hero of the summer game, and according to cricket booksellers has a market value in the region of £3-400.For many years this copy sat on the shelves of the staff library of Crewkerne Grammar School, which closed its doors for the last time in 1971, to make way for the new comprehensive school in the town.After the school was closed the building was cleared by the new owner Roger Fowler, and the contents of the staff room shelves emptied and placed into tea chests. The building was eventually sold for development into flats on the site.Before he disposed of the contents of the chests however Mr Fowler contacted the Old Boys Association, one of whom went through all of the tea chests to check their contents. As he was doing so he noticed the W.G Grace book and duly rescued it for safe keeping.Old Boy Tim Udall, who is still a resident in the South Somerset town said: "When the School Association held their 500th Anniversary the book came to light and we realised that it was of some historical value. As we don’t have a proper facility to display the book we decided to give the book to the Somerset Cricket Museum on a permanent loan, where everybody will have a chance to look at it."According to a handwritten note from one of the headmasters of Crewkerne Grammar School that is loosely inserted inside the book it was originally owned by A.W.Blake, and presented to the school by the Blake Family several of whom over the years were governors or clerks to the governors of the school.Tim Udall recently visited the Somerset Cricket Museum where he presented the book to the curator Tony Stedall, who told me: "We are very pleased to have the book on permanent loan in the museum, where it will form part of our new display for next season."Somerset Cricket Museum is one of the best of it’s kind in the country, and with it’s ever changing exhibits is well worth a visit. It is open an all match days, and Monday to Friday during the summer months.

Palace fall behind in Pereira pursuit

Crystal Palace have suffered a potentially significant blow in their pursuit of West Bromwich Albion midfielder Matheus Pereira.

What’s the story?

According to ESPN Brazil, West Ham United are now leading the race to sign the highly-rated 25-year-old, with fellow Premier League sides Leeds United and Palace also keen to secure his signature.

However, the report claims that the Hammers have moved ahead of their domestic rivals as Pereira wants to play European football next term, something only David Moyes’ men can offer.

Patrick Vieira will be gutted

The Baggies are reportedly set to demand £30m for their South American star this summer after a magnificent 2020/21 caught the eye of several top teams.

Despite West Brom being struck in the relegation zone for the majority of the Premier League season, Pereira bagged 11 goals and provided six assists in 33 top-flight appearances.

His impressive haul and magnificent displays earned several plaudits, including BBC pundit and former Everton midfielder Leon Osman, who praised his set-piece delivery.

“It’s a wonderful corner. We’ve seen Matheus Pereira try this a few times. He tries to find it under the crossbar, inside the goal frame, to see if anyone gets on the end of it,” said Osman.

“Matt Phillips made himself a handful for the goalkeeper, but it’s a wonderful delivery from Pereira.”

The ESPN report claims that Vieira’s side are yet to make contact with West Brom for the Brazilian’s services, but news that West Ham are in pole position will still leave the French tactician feeling gutted.

Vieira has made a solid start to his extensive squad rebuild at Selhurst Park, bringing in Michael Olise and Marc Guehi from Reading and Chelsea, respectively, but many more fresh faces are needed ahead of the upcoming campaign.

The departures of experienced duo James McCarthy and James McArthur have left a sizeable gap in the capital club’s engine room, while Eberechi Eze’s long-term injury has left them short on creativity.

Therefore, Pereira would be able to solve two issues for Vieira such is his quality and versatility, meaning the former Nice boss will be disappointed at this latest revelation.

And, in other news…Get it done: Parish must sanction Palace swoop for £12m prodigy, Vieira would love him

مانشستر سيتي يواجه أستون فيلا، مساء الأحد القادم، 22 مايو، على ملعب “الاتحاد”، في الجولة الثامنة والثلاثين والأخيرة من الدوري الإنجليزي.

واستأنف مانشستر سيتي، تدريباته اليوم الخميس، حيث خاض حامل لقب الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز، الجلسة التدريبة قبل الأخيرة قبل مباراة أستون فيلا الهامة في البريميرليج؛ وفقًا لما ذكرته شبكة “سبورتس مول” البريطانية.

Gers reject WHU’s Kennedy bid

Glasgow Rangers ace Kai Kennedy has admitted it would be a “great opportunity” to sign for West Ham after the Hammers were said to have had a bid rejected for the youngster.

The Lowdown: Controversial figure?

Kennedy, who is highly rated at Ibrox, has not had the easiest of times during his so far short career with the 55-time Scottish champions.

He was linked with moves to Manchester City and Bayern Munich in the past (The Daily Record), appeared to be refusing to sign a new deal and, around the same time, seemed to be on the end of criticism from Steven Gerrard (Glasgow Live).

The Latest: West Ham make Kennedy bid

According to Football Insider, the Irons have had a bid of £600,000 rejected for the winger. Speaking to the same outlet, Kennedy said:

“It is extremely flattering that West Ham have made an offer for me and it would be a great opportunity to be able to work with a top manager such as David Moyes, but I am a Rangers player until I am told otherwise.”

The Verdict: Don’t undervalue him

While Kennedy may have had his issues at Ibrox, there is no doubting he is a player with plenty of talent.

He has five career assists to his name, four of which came in 19 matches during his loan spell at Raith Rovers last term, where he also managed one goal (Transfermarkt).

During the first half of the campaign, he was with Inverness Caledonian Thistle on a temporary basis, and manager John Robertson called him a “prodigious talent” (The Athletic).

Aged just 19, Kennedy has plenty of time to develop. The last thing Rangers want to do is let another youth academy product leave before he has had the chance to shine in the first team. Look at Billy Gilmour – he was sold by the Gers as a 15-year-old and has now appeared at the European Championships for Scotland and won the Champions League with Chelsea.

If Kennedy also evolves into a top talent, Rangers must get the money they deserve for his development.

In other news, this ace believes his time at Rangers held him back.

بالأسماء | 3 صفقات تدعم مُخطط الأهلي لإفساد ميركاتو الزمالك في الموسم الجديد

بينما تنتظر جماهير نادي الزمالك، انتهاء الموسم الكروي الحالي وتنفيذ وعد مرتضى منصور رئيس مجلس الإدارة ونجله أمير، مدير الكرة، بإبرام صفقات قوية في سوق الانتقالات الصيفية، يترقب الأهلي على الجانب الآخر، تحركات القلعة البيضاء في هذا الملف، لمحاولة إفساد انضمام أبرز اللاعبين في الدوري المصري إلى ميت عقبة.

لا يخفى على أحد، حاجة الزمالك لإبرام تعاقدات قوية في الموسم الجديد، خاصة أن النادي حُرم من قيد لاعبين في الميركاتو الصيفي والشتوي الماضيين، بقرار من الاتحاد الدولي “فيفا”، إلى جانب رحيل أكثر من لاعب، الأمر الذي أدى إلى نقص شديد في صفوف الفريق الأول، يعاني منه المدير الفني جوسفالدو فيريرا أثناء اختياره للتشكيل وقوائم المباريات.

على الجانب الآخر، تواصل لجنة التخطيط بالنادي الأهلي مراقبة أبرز اللاعبين في الدوري، بالتنسيق مع الجنوب إفريقي بيتسو موسيماني المدير الفني للفريق الأول، لبحث إمكانية دعم المراكز التي يحتاج إليها المارد الأحمر في الموسم الجديد.

ومن المتوقع أن يشهد سوق الانتقالات الصيفي منافسة نارية بين الأهلي والزمالك على ضم أكثر من لاعب تألقوا بشكل لافت في مسابقة الدوري المصري الممتاز هذا الموسم، وتبقى الكلمة العليا في التعاقدات لرغبة اللاعبين أولاً ثم القدرة المالية التي ستحسم الأمور.

تصريحات مسؤولي الزمالك في الآونة الأخيرة تشير إلى وجود نية قوية لتحقيق “ميركاتو تاريخي” يفوق ما حدث في موسم 2014-2015 عندما تعاقد النادي مع 14 لاعبًا جديدًا، كما أن هناك العديد من الأسماء المتواجدة حاليًا في الفريق سترحل بنهاية الموسم الجاري، سواء لتراجع مستواهم الفني أو انتهاء العقود، أبرزهم أشرف بن شرقي ومحمد أبو جبل وطارق حامد، حسبما صرح مرتضى منصور رئيس النادي، بعدم التجديد للثلاثي.

بينما ينعم النادي الأهلي باستقرار كبير على المستوى الفني، لذا ستكون التعاقدات في أضيق الحدود ورغم ذلك لن يفوّت مجلس إدارة القلعة الحمراء برئاسة محمود الخطيب، الفرصة لتقليل خيارات الزمالك في سوق الانتقالات، من خلال محاولة خطف لاعب أو اثنين من الأسماء البارزة، أو المزايدة المالية لرفع أسعار اللاعبين المطلوبين في ميت عقبة. “بطولات” يرصد في هذا التقرير 3 صفقات ستشكل صراع الميركاتو بين الأهلي والزمالك في الموسم الجديد

أحمد عاطف

مهاجم فيوتشر المُعار من وادي دجلة يقدم مستويات مذهلة مع فريقه في الدوري المصري الممتاز، جعلته محط أنظار القطبين، حيث يتردد اسمه بقوة داخل جدران نادي الزمالك، في ظل تراجع مستوى الثنائي الهجومي في الفريق، عمر السعيد وسيف الدين الجزيري واقتراب رحيلهما بعد نهاية الموسم الجاري.

ويراهن الزمالك على قدرته في إقناع عاطف بارتداء الفانلة البيضاء لا سيما أنه سيضمن المشاركة أساسيًا، بينما يتسلح الأهلي بأحمد شوبير حارس مرمى الفريق السابق ونائب رئيس نادي فيوتشر الحالي، لتسهيل مهمة انتقال اللاعب إلى قلعة الجزيرة، رغم تصريحاته بعدم وجود نية للتفريط في اللاعب بعد تفعيل بند شرائه.

وعلى الرغم من وجود العديد من الأسماء في خط هجوم الأهلي، حيث يمتلك محمد شريف وحسام حسن والاعتماد على بيرسي تاو بشكل كبير في هذا المركز، بالإضافة إلى الثلاثي المعار أحمد ياسر ريان وأليو بادجي ووالتر بواليا، إلا أن عدم قناعة موسيماني بالثنائي الأخير، ورغبة ريان في استكمال رحلة الاحتراف وتراجع مستوى شريف، جعلت هناك رغبة قوية في منافسة الزمالك على ضم مهاجم فيوتشر الشاب.

أحمد عاطف يُجيد في جميع مراكز الهجوم، سواء رأس الحربة الصريح أو الجناحين، حيث سجل مع فيوتشر 6 أهداف في الدوري ويوجد في عقده بند أحقية الشراء من وادي دجلة، مقابل 18 مليون جنيه.

أحمد رفعت

تألق صانع ألعاب فيوتشر مع فريقه هذا الموسم بشكل لافت وانضم إلى صفوف منتخب مصر في بطولة كأس العرب، ديسمبر الماضي، وقدم مستويات رائعة تحت قيادة كارلوس كيروش قبل أن يتم استبعاده من كأس الأمم الإفريقية في الكاميرون لوجود أكثر من لاعب في مركزه.

وسبق أن خاض رفعت تجربة غير موفقة مع الزمالك منذ 6 سنوات، حيث لم يظهر بالشكل المتوقع منه، لتتم إعارته ثم بيعه منذ عامين إلى المصري البورسعيدي ومنه انتقل إلى فيوتشر قبل بداية الموسم الجاري بعقد يمتد لـ 4 سنوات، وشارك في جميع المباريات وسجل 6 أهداف.

ويعد رفعت أحد اللاعبين المطلوبين بقوة للعودة إلى صفوف الزمالك في الموسم المقبل، بينما سيسعى الأهلي للانقضاض على الصفقة للفوز بها أو المزايدة على أقل تقدير، لحرمان الأبيض من التعاقد معه.

أحمد رفعت يجيد في مركز الجناحين الأيمن والأيسر، لذا يراه الزمالك البديل الأنسب لأشرف بن شرقي، بينما تأتي رغبة الأهلي في المنافسة على ضمه، بسبب الأداء المهزوز للثنائي طاهر محمد طاهر ولويس ميكيسوني، بالإضافة إلى عدم قناعة موسيماني بمحمود عبد المنعم كهربا، المُعار إلى هاتاي سبور التركي.

جون إيبوكا

يقدم النيجيري جون إيبوكا مهاجم إنبي، أداءً مميزًا هذا الموسم مع الفريق البترولي، ليصبح على رأس قائمة المطلوبين لتدعيم هجوم الأهلي والزمالك في الموسم الجديد.

إيبوكا سجل هذا الموسم 9 أهداف مع إنبي، جعلته أبرز المطلوبين من جوسفالدو فيريرا المدير الفني للزمالك لتدعيم هجوم الفريق في الموسم المقبل، كما ترددت أنباء قوية عن دخول الأهلي في الصفقة.

شاهد هدف جون إيبوكا أمام الزمالك

واعترف شريف أبو الغيط عضو مجلس إدارة إنبي بتواصل العديد من الأندية مع إيبوكا لضمه، مشيرًا إلى أنه لا توجد مفاوضات رسمية حتى الآن، واللاعب يرتبط بعقد مع الفريق البترولي ينتهي بعد موسم ونصف ويسعى النادي إلى بقائه بعد استشارة حلمي طولان، المدير الفني.

SAFC fans slam Will Grigg

Sunderland slammed Will Grigg after his disappointing performance during the Black Cats’ 0-0 draw with Tranmere Rovers at Prenton Park.

Grigg spent the second half of last season on loan at Milton Keynes Dons, one of his former clubs, and he managed a solid eight goals in 20 matches (Transfermarkt).

However, that is as many goals as he has recorded in 61 matches for the Black Cats since making that infamous £4m move from Wigan Athletic to the Stadium of Light (BBC).

With Charlie Wyke leaving Sunderland to make the move to the Latics (wiganathletic.com), £1.08m-valued Grigg (Transfermarkt) could have to play a big role to play for Lee Johnson’s side this coming campaign.

His performance against Tranmere will have done little to convince the boss that he is ready to lead the line throughout the season.

The supporters were far from happy with what they saw from the Northern Ireland international, and they took to social media platform Twitter to share their thoughts.

Let’s see what the fans had to say about Grigg below

“Hopefully Johnson will see that Grigg has no intention of ever trying to perform at Sunderland”

“Will Grigg is the worst signing in SAFC history.”

“As much as I’ve been hopeful with his pre-season smiles etc. Will Grigg is not the answer and I fear for safc season if we can’t shift him. Just can’t hit a barn door. There are free players out there more capable if we’re skint and Big Vic in the crowd would be an upgrade.”

“The team is still short with Grigg in man He might as well me non existent, he’s useless. Offloading him frees up wages”

In other news, Sunderland fans were delighted with this man’s pre-season display.
