Having spent a significant amount of money on bringing new players to the club during the recent January transfer window, Newcastle United are now set to take on the challenge of avoiding relegation by the end of the season.

However, even though the January window has now closed, it seems as though the Toon supporters can rest east over the future of one of their key players for the time being.

What’s the news?

According to Toon manager Eddie Howe, the Tyneside club have no intention of selling winger Allan Saint-Maximin, who has been linked with a move away from St. James’ Park in the past.

Speaking in his recent press conference ahead of Newcastle’s Premier League match against Aston Villa, Howe had this to say on the matter.

He said: “There is no intention to lose Maxi. No indication that his head is anywhere but Newcastle and elevating us out of the difficulties we are in. He loves playing at St James’ Park and is idolised by the fans. It is key we help improve him. Find an edge to make his game better and he will enjoy a great career and be here many years.”

Newcastle signed the Frenchman back in the 2019 summer transfer window from OGC Nice in a deal worth an initial fee of £16.5m. Since then, the 24-year-old has gone on to make 80 appearances for the Magpies across all competitions, scoring 12 goals and providing 14 assists along the way.

This season has proved just how important the attacker is for the Toon by racking up five goals, three assists and an overall performance rating of 7.26/10, making him their second-highest rated player in the Premier League according to WhoScored.

Fans will be buzzing

This shows why a lot of Newcastle fans will be delighted to hear that the club have no intention of letting Saint-Maximin leave anytime soon.

Moving forward, if the Frenchman can keep scoring goals, providing assists and delivering strong performances in the league, he could be the difference in whether or not Newcastle will avoid relegation by the end of the campaign.

If Newcastle are able to remain in the Premier League, this should make it a lot easier for them to keep hold of their star attacker and convince him to see out the remainder of his contract at the club.

Shahid Afridi, the Pakistan captain, has said that he wanted former captain Younis Khan in the squad for the tour of England but various issues, such as form and discipline, had prevented the batsman’s selection

Cricinfo staff23-Jun-2010

Shahid Afridi, the Pakistan captain, has said that he wanted former captain Younis Khan in the squad for the tour of England but various issues, such as form and discipline, had prevented the batsman’s selection.”I wanted Younis to be in the team but, besides the issue of his recent form, there was also a bit of a disciplinary issue with Younis,” Afridi told . “One must understand I don’t pick the team alone. The input of the coach and selectors is also involved in this process.”Younis, whose ban had been overturned by the PCB after an appeal, was not included in Pakistan’s Test or Twenty20 squad for the trip to England. Ijaz Butt, chairman of the board, said last week that Younis’ return would require clearance from the board, an issue that wasn’t deemed to be an issue at all with Shoaib Malik, Afridi and the Akmal brothers, who had all apologised for their mistakes.Afridi also said that fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar, who made a comeback in the Asia Cup, would only play limited-over cricket for now. “We don’t want to waste him or damage his remaining career by playing him in Test cricket,” Afridi said.Although Pakistan made an early exit from the Asia Cup, after beating only Bangladesh, they competed hard against Sri Lanka and India. Afridi’s performances were impressive in the tournament: he scored centuries against Sri Lanka and Bangladesh and took three wickets at an economy-rate of 4.60. “The truth is that in the Twenty20 World Cup, I had taken the pressure of captaincy which affected my individual form as well, but this time I focused on my own performances,” he said.Afridi will make a return to Test cricket after four years when he leads the team in Pakistan’s ‘home’ series against Australia in England this summer.

Leeds United midfielder Kalvin Phillips is desperate to be offered a new Whites contract, according to a significant update which has emerged.

The Lowdown: Phillips not yet signed deal

The 26-year-old is a strong contender for Leeds’ best player of the last decade or so, making 226 appearances overall and also becoming a key figure for England.

However, it is a worrying time from a Whites perspective, with Phillips constantly linked with a move away from Elland Road and a new contract not yet signed.

A big update has emerged on the matter, though, and it’s one which will likely be music to the ears of Leeds supporters.

[freshpress-quiz id=“383507″]

The Latest: Key update emerges

According to The Daily Mirror print edition (7 February) [via MOT Leeds News], Phillips is ‘keener than ever’ to sign a contract extension at the club he has grown up supporting.

His current deal expires in the summer of 2024.

The Verdict: Leeds simply must extend his stay

This is hugely positive news for Leeds, with Phillips seemingly happy at the club and not looking for a fresh challenge any time soon, having been hailed as ‘world-class’ by Paul Robinson.

A new deal would also put the Whites in a strong bargaining position should the midfielder want to exit the club in terms of demanding an enormous fee for his services.

Phillips is at the peak of his powers and looks increasingly likely to spend his best years at Elland Road, as long as the club adheres to his demands.

يرى اليوناني نيكوديموس بابافسيليو أن الأهلي استحق الفوز على الزمالك والتتويج ببطولة كأس السوبر المصري في المباراة الاخيرة التي جمعت بين قطبي الكرة المصرية.

واستطاع الأهلي أن يتوج ببطولة السوبر للمرة الثانية عشر في تاريخه بعد تغلبه على الزمالك بهدفين دون رد.

وقال بابافاسيليو اثناء استضافته ببرنامج “الريمونتادا” المذاع على قناة “المحور”: “الأهلي استحق الفوز، كان الأكثر تماسكا وكانت لديه حلول والزمالك فاجأني، فمن المفترض أن الفريق يدافع جيدا مع فيريرا ويلعب على الهجمات المرتدة ولكن الهدف المبكر غير المباراة تماما”.

وأضاف: “الزمالك لم يجد الحلول عندما كانت تصل الكرة للاعبيه، وكان من المفترض أن يكون هناك رد فعل بعد هدف الأهلي”.

وتابع: “نتيجة هذا المباراة ستؤثر نفسيًا على الزمالك، لأن الفريق كان في أفضل مستوى خلال الموسمين الماضيين”.

وواصل المدرب اليوناني حديثه: “نتيجة هذه المباراة ستؤثر نفسيا، لأن الزمالك كان في مستوى أفضل خلال الموسمين الماضيين، وخسارة أول بطولة في الموسم في وقت مبكر جدًا تعطي الثقة الكبيرة للمنافس، والجانب النفسي مهم جدًا في تلك الأندية الكبرى”.

وأردف: “الأهلي الآن أصبح يؤمن أكثر أنه يمكنه المنافسة وانه جيد بالقدر الكافي ويستطيع خوض تحدي الدوري وأعتقد أن مستواه سيبقى عاليًا”.

واختار مدرب غزل المحلة لاعبًا واحدًا من الدوري المصري يمكنه اللعب في أوروبا، قائلًا: “المالي آليو ديانج يعجبني منذ سنوات، أعتقد لديه كل الإمكانيات للعب في أعلى المستويات”.

واستكمل عن ديانج: “لاعب رائع وسريع جدًا وشديد الحماس ويستطيع أن يغطي المساحات بشكل جيد جدًا، وقراراته وهو مستحوذ على الكرة وتحت الضغط رائعة جدًا”.

وتطرق للحديث عن الدوري المصري والمنافسه فيه: “هناك 7 أو 8 فرق دعمت صفوفها بصفقات قوية عكس المواسم الماضية، كان هناك 3 فرق فقط، الدوري المصري أصبح أقوى”.

وأوضح: “تدريب غزل المحلة كان يمثل تحديا كبيرا عندما عرض علي العمل به، وقبل أن أقبل العرض أو أرفضه شاهدت بعض المباريات ورأيت شيئا أحببته كثيرا والوضع يختلف عندما تقوم بتحليل فريق واحد بالتفصيل”.

وأضاف: “عندما بدأت في تحليل غزل المحلة رأيت خصائص كثيرة، ورأيت روح قتالية وعقلية أحبها جدا، وأيضا لاعبين صغار في السن وجيدين جدا وبالتدريب الجيد والتوجيه الفني يمكنهم أن يتطوروا، واعتقد خلال فترة التوقف الحالية يمكنني أن أطبق أفكاري مع اللاعبين وأنا أحب التحديات”.

وأردف: “كل شيء كان عظيم من البداية مع الفريق، حيث بدأنا بمباريات ودية، وشاهد اللاعبون أن الأشياء التي نتدرب عليها حدثت في المباراة وخطوة تلو أخرى يبدأ الإصلاح”.

واستأنف: “في الدوري المصري أحيانا تكون المباراة عبارة عن مهاجمين أمام مدافعين، ولا وجود لخط الوسط، ولكننا سيطرنا على ذلك، هناك لاعبون مميزون ربما اكتسبوا الموهبة من الشارع”.

واختتم: “كان الأمر مضحكا في يوم ما عندما كنا نتدرب على الكرات الطولية بسبب سوء الأرضية، واللاعبين أرادوا التمرير، هذا شيء عظيم ومعناه أن اللاعبين يؤمنون بأساليبك”.

Australia almost became the joke of the day in Dublin before James Hopes’ five wickets ensured a seriously rusty performance ended in a 39-run success over Ireland

The Bulletin by Peter English17-Jun-2010Australia 231 for 9 (Paine 81, K O’Brien 3-43) beat Ireland 192 (Porterfield 39, Hopes 5-14) by 39 runs
Scorecard and ball-by-ball detailsNathan Hauritz took two important wickets as Australia overcame Ireland in Dublin•AFP

Australia almost became the joke of the day in Dublin before James Hopes’ five wickets ensured a seriously rusty performance ended in a 39-run success over Ireland. It was an ODI that was meant to be a warm-up for Ricky Ponting’s side, but it was rightly treated as a full-scale international by Ireland and the highly-fancied visitors were almost embarrassed.The captain William Porterfield started the dramatic chase of Australia’s 232 by blasting three fours off Ryan Harris’ first over and he later pulled a six off Clint McKay during a frenetic 80-run opening partnership with Paul Stirling. It felt like a Twenty20 game but eventually turned into a more familiar exchange between the world’s No.1-ranked team and one of the minnows. There was much relief among the Australians when Hopes stood up with a career-best 5 for 14 off nine overs and Ireland were dismissed for 192.With the bat the tourists were uncertain as they struggled with the pace on a slow, low pitch, and the bowling was even worse initially. Doug Bollinger, Harris and McKay were pounded for 76 off the first 10 overs in a horrible opening as they bowled too short and were punished.Stirling punched his way to a run-a-ball 36, but he became too adventurous when going across to Harris and lost his leg stump. The spray from Harris after the dismissal showed how irritating the afternoon had become for the Australians. Harris followed up by having Gary Wilson lbw to a ball coming back before Porterfield (39 off 42) was tangled by a Nathan Hauritz offspinner and bowled. Suddenly the locals had gone from favourites to the trouble of 86 for 3.Alex Cusack and Niall O’Brien steadied the situation during a stand of 51 to retain hope of a first win over Australia. However, Cusack exited with 30 after being lbw to Hopes and Hauritz (2 for 40) had Niall O’Brien (15) caught behind in the next over. Hopes followed up by removing Kevin O’Brien and knocked over Trent Johnson, who was carrying a badly bruised finger, and Peter Connell in consecutive balls. John Mooney held out with 38, putting on 36 for the final wicket, until he skied to Ponting.The Australians have a practice match against Middlesex on Saturday before the opening ODI of the five-match series against England on Tuesday. Significant improvement on this performance is needed, although they will be more comfortable with the conditions at Lord’s and the Rose Bowl.Tim Paine steered Australia’s uncomfortable innings with a hard-working 81 at the start of a difficult day. The visitors struggled when they fell to 86 for 3 in the 23rd over before Paine and Cameron White (42) stepped in to set the hosts a challenging total.Paine, who is filling in for the injured Brad Haddin, wants to gain a spot in the side as a specialist batsman and he did a solid job in testing circumstances. He found the going tough throughout but refused to give in until he clipped the impressive Kevin O’Brien to his brother Niall at midwicket.The highlights for Paine were three pulls off Boyd Rankin – two went for six and another for four – in a hardworking, 122-ball assignment. The O’Brien brothers combined again to remove Michael Hussey (8) and Nathan Hauritz (19) as Kevin led the way with 3 for 43.Ponting ordered some batting practice for his team after winning the toss, but the visitors were under pressure having lost Shane Watson (13), Ponting (33) and Michael Clarke (0). Ponting was chasing some form after a lay-off of almost three months, but he was frustrated into holing out to deep midwicket off Stirling’s offspin.Cusack (2 for 38) had Clarke stumped in a tight call and Ireland were on top before Paine and White put on 66 for the fourth wicket to regain some control. White gave Stirling (2 for 34) his second breakthrough while Rankin finished with 2 for 45. It was an impressive effort from Ireland even though they could not achieve an unforgettable result.

Depois de viver dias turbulentos por conta da política do clube, que refletiram dentro de campo na derrota para o Bangu, o Vasco precisa retornar aos trilhos em 2018. Ainda mais com os primeiros duelos contra a Universidad Concepción, pela Libertadores, se aproximando. O time do técnico Zé Ricardo tem a chance retomar o rumo e se recuperar do tropeço na estreia do Carioca neste domingo, às 17h, contra o Nova Iguaçu, em São Januário, que mais uma vez terá os portões fechados.

Para a partida, o treinador não contará com o meia Nenê, que foi expulso no fim da partida contra o Bangu, na última quinta-feira. A tendência é que o volante Desábato seja o seu substituto, com Evander sendo adiantado no meio-campo. Outra novidade deve ser a estreia do zagueiro Erazo com a camisa cruz-maltina.

No entanto, a principal coisa que o Cruz-maltino precisar mudar para o confronto contra o time da Baixada é a postura ofensiva. No primeiro jogo do ano, a equipe apresentou os mesmos problemas do ano passado: dificuldade na criação de jogadas no ataque e pouca produção na frente. Atuando como camisa 9, Andrés Rios pouco incomoda a defesa adversária.

Além disso, o Vasco vai ter que superar mais uma vez a ausência da sua torcida na Colina Histórica. Isso porque, com o clube sem um presidente, os administradores Eurico Miranda, Julio Brant e Fernando Horta apresentaram proposta para Ferj de jogar esses dois primeiros jogos sem torcida. Os jogadores já falaram que isso é prejudicial e o técnico Zé Ricardo espera que isso seja pela última vez.

– Vamos passar por mais isso aí. Joguei em São Januário com mais vezes de portões fechados do que abertos. Espero que depois de domingo tiremos isso definitivamente do nosso dicionário.

As per allnigeriasoccer.com, it appears Rangers boss Giovanni van Bronckhorst may have been dealt a big potential blow in his hopes of keeping star midfielder Joe Aribo.

The Lowdown: Clock ticking…

The Nigeria international enters the final year of his contract this summer with still no sign of an Ibrox extension.

This has lead to reports that he could be sold this year if an agreement isn’t found soon, especially since the Gers run the risk of losing Aribo for nothing in 2023.

The 25-year-old has been a key player at Ibrox this season with a major update now coming to light on his future.

The Latest: Aribo makes it clear…

According to the Nigerian outlet, Aribo has now ‘made it clear’ behind the scenes that he is not interested in prolonging his stay in Glasgow and will not sign an extension.

Because of this, Rangers could slash his £10 million asking price in half and entertain offers of around £5m, with the SPFL champions under some pressure to sell due to his contract.

Premier League sides are also lying in wait with Crystal Palace, Watford, Brentford, Southampton and Aston Villa all keen.

The Verdict: Huge blow for Gers…

Pundit Paddy Kenny, speaking to Football Insider at the end of last year, claimed it would be a ‘huge blow for Rangers’ if the player does want to leave – and it now appears that has come to fruition according to this report.

Going by his form, the ex-Premier League shot stopper isn’t wrong either, with Aribo averaging the second-highest amount of completed dribbles per 90 for the Gers this season (WhoScored).

He’s also managed the third-highest rate of goals and assists combined in the SPFL for Rangers this season (six goals, four assists), and it’s safe to van Bronckhorst potentially losing him in the summer comes as a major worry.

Half-centuries from Mohammad Shahzad and Asghar Stanikzai helped Afghanistan secure a comfortable five-wicket victory in the third-place play-off against Netherlands in Rotterdam

Cricinfo staff10-Jul-2010

Half-centuries from Mohammad Shahzad and Asghar Stanikzai helped Afghanistan secure a comfortable five-wicket victory in the third-place play-off against Netherlands in Rotterdam. Their bowlers restricted Netherlands to 218 for 5, a target that was achieved with four overs to spare.Afghanistan’s bowlers kept the hosts’ batsmen in check after Peter Borren chose to bat, with Mirwais Ashraf inducing edges from both openers. Netherlands were unsteady at 27 for 2 but the innings recovered through a partnership of 78 between Top Cooper and Borren. While Netherlands did not lose wickets, they did not raise the tempo either with Borren consuming 71 balls for his 28.Cooper also took 135 deliveries and was bowled on 96 when he played around a delivery from Aftab Alam. The much-needed momentum for Netherlands was provided by Wesley Barresi, who made an unbeaten 51 off 40 balls. His half-century included three clean sixes, two down the ground and one over midwicket.Afghanistan also lost their openers early to Mudassar Bukhari, who had Shabir Noori caught behind and Javed Ahmadi caught at point. Like in Netherlands’ innings, it was the third-wicket stand that put Afghanistan on course: Nowroz Mangal and Shahzad added 78.Stanikzai joined Shahzad after Mangal was caught at first slip with the score on 83 and they shut Netherlands out of the game. Shahzad compiled a steady 82 while Stanikzai provided impetus with a brisk 64. Both batsmen were eventually caught by Bernard Loots at mid off and long on but the job was almost done. Karim Sadiq ensured Afghanistan got over the line in the 46th over.Canada secured fifth place by completing a three-wicket win with four balls to spare against Kenya in Schiedam. Kenya were shot out for 190 after they were put in, with Canada’s new-ball bowlers, Harvir Baidwan and Umar Bhatti, taking two wickets apiece. Rizwan Cheema was the most successful bowler, taking 3 for 39 in ten overs. Thomas Odoyo top-scored with 39 and there were similar nuggety contributions from others. What the innings lacked, however, was a performance of substance.Canada’s chase also suffered from the lack of a substantial score and, at 81 for 5, Kenya had a chance. Zubin Surkari, however, made a middle-order contribution of 49 and it was enough to steer Canada to victory in the 50th over.
