West Ham United have been dealt a potentially huge blow in their bid to bring Jesse Lingard to the London Stadium in the January transfer window.
What’s the talk?
That’s according to a claim made by ExWHUemployee, who revealed in a recent post on The West Ham Way that, despite having featured sparingly for Manchester United so far this season, the 29-year-old attacking midfielder – who has been heavily linked with a move to East London – would like to remain at Old Trafford until the end of the season, when his current contract expires.
In his post, the insider unveiled a big twist:
Moyes will be furious
Considering just how impressive Lingard was after joining West Ham on a four-month loan deal last season, in addition to the fact that the Hammers attempted to sign the forward in the summer transfer window, the news that the England international looks increasingly unlikely to leave Manchester United this winter is sure to have left David Moyes furious.
Indeed, over his 16 Premier League appearances for West Ham last time out, the £19.8m-rated man scored nine goals, registered five assists and created three big chances for his teammates, as well as taking an average of 2.6 shots and making 1.1 key passes per game.
These returns saw the £75k-per-week attacking midfielder earn a seasonal SofaScore match rating of 7.19, ranking him as the Hammers’ best performer in the top flight of English football last time out.
However, despite his remarkable form at the London Stadium, Lingard has once again found his game time limited at Manchester United, featuring in just eight Premier League fixtures so far this season.
As such, the 29-year-old’s apparent decision to wait until the end of the season before making a decision on his future is a rather baffling one, as continuing to sit on the bench at Old Trafford will do nothing towards helping the forward secure a spot in Gareth Southgate World Cup squad for Qatar 2022.
However, with it appearing as if a move for Lingard is now off the table this January, Moyes has been left with no other option than to turn his focus in the transfer market elsewhere, an outcome that will undoubtedly be incredibly frustrating for the 58-year-old manager.

With David Moyes’ West Ham United side heading into Saturday’s Premier League clash with Crystal Palace off the back of a highly impressive 4-1 win at Watford last time out, the Hammers boss will have undoubtedly been hoping for more of the same at Selhurst Park this evening.
Despite two late goals from Odsonne Edouard and Michael Olise, West Ham just about managed to cling on to all three points against their London rivals, as first-half strikes from Michail Antonio and a brace from Manuel Lanzini were enough to secure a 3-2 win in south London.
However, despite the victory, Moyes’ men simply should not have allowed Palace back into the game, with both Craig Dawson and Issa Diop once again turning in lacklustre displays in the heart of the West Ham backline.
With the January transfer window now open, and with the latter of this defensive duo being linked with a move away from the London Stadium this winter, considering his poor performance at Palace, the former France under-21 international could well have just played his last match for West Ham.
Lost 66% duels
Indeed, over his 90 minutes on the pitch on Saturday, the 24-year-old was not only at fault for both of Palace’s goals, but his metrics were also poor. The £10.8m-rated man enjoying a mere 24 touches of the ball – 13 fewer than Lukasz Fabianski between the West Ham sticks – completing just 13 of his 18 attempted passes and losing possession of the ball on five separate occasions.
The £61k-per-week defender also won just two of his six duels – a failure rate of 66% – conceded two fouls and found his man with just one of his four attempted long balls, with these returns seeing the Frenchman earn a disappointing SofaScore match rating of just 6.4 – the worst of any West Ham starter on the day.
Football.London journalist Tom Clarke also gave Diop a five in his own player ratings, as well as commenting of the centre-back’s performance: “Made some important blocks but was at fault for both Crystal Palace goals and his place could come under pressure if the Hammers bring in another defender during the transfer window.”
As such, with Diop having not previously grabbed the opportunity handed to him in the Hammers’ starting XI during the absence of the stricken Angelo Ogbonna and Kurt Zouma, the 24-year-old’s display against Palace will have done little to convince Moyes that Diop is indeed good enough for the Hammers – something which could see the defender on his way out of the club this month.

Três vitórias, três empates e cinco derrotas no segundo turno derrubaram o aproveitamento do Corinthians e também sua vantagem na liderança do Campeonato Brasileiro. De 11 pontos à frente na metade da competição, hoje a equipe dirigida por Fábio Carille tem somente duas rodadas de vantagem em relação a Palmeiras e Santos, seus perseguidores mais diretos na tabela. Enquanto vê os rivais se aproximarem e o rendimento cair, o treinador tenta superar aquele que considera seu pior momento no comando da equipe.
– Sim (é o pior momento da carreira). Está sendo um ano de muitos aprendizados. Falando do ano, ele começou com desconfiança e eu não imaginava que seria desse jeito em sucesso e vitórias. Todas as 19 equipes do campeonato passaram por momentos difíceis, Chapecoense e Sport já lideraram, São Paulo subiu. Está sendo um momento de instabilidade, nada bom, mas estou muito confiante, acreditando sempre. Se tem uma pessoa que acreditou nesse grupo sou eu. Acredito muito. Ficamos chateados depois dos jogos, mas depois escutamos pessoas do futebol, técnicos, e um deles falou algo que me fortaleceu após o jogo contra o Botafogo: “Se alguém te falasse que você estaria na 30ª rodada com seis pontos de vantagem, você toparia?”. Claro! Temos que entender que o momento não é bom, mas a vantagem é excelente – sinalizou o treinador, sem dizer o nome do “guru” e ignorando, também, a possibilidade de se sentir pressionado pelos resultados.
-Não estou me sentindo pressionado porque sou consciente de tudo. As coisas ruins que aconteceram foram trabalhadas. É 50% responsabilidade do técnico e 50% dos jogadores.
Carille listou motivos para acreditar na conquista do título restando oito jogos para o fim do Campeonato Brasileiro. As principais razões passam pela correção de problemas que o Corinthians tem enfrentado, como o jejum de gols do ataque, a falta de concentração que gera erros de passes simples e a má fase da defesa. Veja as explicações do treinador para cada assunto:
Corrigir bola aérea defensiva: “Dos nossos últimos cinco gols sofridos três foram assim. Mas é algo que cobro muito. Então trabalhei ontem, trabalhei hoje e amanhã trabalho a parte ofensiva.Nenhuma equipe nos atropelou. Teve o lance do Cássio na área, que eu não vou fazer nunca mais. Depois é concentração, atenção e bolas paradas. O que me dá tranquilidade de cobrar, porque é trabalhado. Começamos a falar das jogadas da Ponte para prepará-los para a partida.”
Aumentar concentração: “É trabalhar, a comissão estar tranquila de ter passado todos os detalhes do adversário, você tem que saber com quem vai guerrear. E quanto mais conversa mais deixa os jogadores preparados, o que me dá tranquilidade para cobrar. Já tomamos gols que eu fiquei quieto, que me surpreenderam, mas o que trabalho eu tenho liberdade para cobrar.”
Detalhes ao longo da partida: “Tem que fazer por merecer a cada jogo. Ganhamos muitos jogos nos detalhes e agora estamos perdendo nos detalhes. Precisamos parar de tomar gols, que é a marca desse time, e aumentar nossa média de gols. Parte daí. E também as questões que decidem jogos, como bola parada.”
Reação dos jogadores à pressão: “Tem jogadores no grupo que já passaram por várias situações. Mas no grupo é o primeiro momento ruim. Individualmente cada um teve seus problemas, mas o grupo está sendo testado. Há uma questão de ansiedade, de decidir as coisas rápido, de ler a imprensa falando que já era campeão. Não tenho certeza se pilhar mais é bom ou ruim.”
Compactação retomada: “Isso não é físico. É a questão de erros de passe. Cobrei muito no Paulista, porque quando você sai para o jogo e começa a errar passe simples, o adversário monta em você. O jogo da Ponte vai depender disso. Se vier com Léo Gamalho não terá muita transição, se for Lucca, Sheik e Danilo é outro jogo.”
No fim da entrevista coletiva, o técnico do Corinthians foi questionado sobre as dificuldades na conquista do título do Brasileirão. Ao responder se a perda do título seria um vexame após o melhor primeiro turno da história da competição por pontos corridos, Carille se explicou:
-Eu falaria em vexame se deixasse de fazer algo. Não deixei de fazer algo em momento nenhum, vivo aqui 12 horas por dia, trabalho muito. Você às vezes fica chateado pelo resultado, mas trabalho. Essa palavra não existe para mim.

Given the amount of rain that has fallen on Durban’s Kingsmead ground in the past week, Andrew Strauss would be forgiven for wishing that the heavens remain open for another day, so that his team can cement their 2-1 series lead

Given the amount of rain that has fallen on Durban’s Kingsmead ground in the past week, Andrew Strauss would be forgiven for wishing that the heavens remain open for another day, so that his team can cement their 2-1 series lead, and emerge victorious for the first time ever in an ODI series in South Africa. But such is the journey that Strauss and his charges have been on in recent months, such an anticlimactic conclusion would be far from fitting. The team has been accused of many things of late, but being boring is not one of them.For Strauss himself, the Durban contest marks a notable milestone. Weather permitting, it will be his 100th ODI cap, and seeing as he had been jettisoned from the set-up after the 2007 World Cup, and spent a full two years thinking he’d never play in that format again, it is an achievement of some note. “To come back in and be part of this side and feel like we’re going somewhere is quite motivating,” he told reporters at Kingsmead. “I’m really enjoying my one-day cricket.”Enjoyment has been central to England’s mini-revival. Back in September, when a listless and Ashes-sated squad were battered 6-1 in their home series against Australia, it didn’t seem possible to inject any urgency into their performances. But then came a relocation to South Africa for the Champions Trophy, and suddenly the results began to stack up – albeit with the odd hefty set-back, as inflicted by the Aussies once again in the semi-final of that tournament, and by South Africa in their record-breaking run-fest at Newlands last week.But Strauss’s England teams are becoming accustomed to fighting back from adversity – witness their spirited response to being bowled out for 51 in Jamaica in February, or the way they claimed the Ashes despite being routed in two-and-a-half days in the penultimate Test at Headingley in August. According to the captain, such bouncebackability requires a culture of honesty within the squad, and an absence of ego.”Players have probably opened their eyes to the fact we have a long way to go and we’ve all got to be prepared for hard work if we’re going to get somewhere,” said Strauss. “We want an environment where we all push each other very hard – and in order to do that, we need to be honest with each other first and foremost. The environment we’re trying to create is one everyone has kind of accepted.”South Africa’s captain, Graeme Smith, is not noted for his chumminess with his English opposite numbers – having sparred with Nasser Hussain, Michael Vaughan and Kevin Pietersen in recent times – but even he could not find much of a bone to pick with Strauss, despite the lingering issue of his refused runner during the Champions Trophy.”Andrew is an intelligent guy, with a lot of common sense,” said Strauss. “He’s provided a lot of stability for England and has gone about it the way we have expected. We’ve managed to keep a little hold on him in terms of his batting – he still hasn’t scored a fifty against South Africa in one-day cricket, but he’s the guy we expected him to be.”But, as Smith went on to point out, it doubtless helps England’s rebuilding efforts that the go-to men of recent times – most notably Andrew Flintoff and Pietersen – have been out of the limelight, which has allowed new stars such as Eoin Morgan and Jonathan Trott to find their feet without being overshadowed. “We don’t want three or four senior players running the show,” said Strauss. “We want everyone feeling comfortable enough to contribute, and also that it’s expected of them to contribute.”In the sport we play, there are always going to be people who are bigger characters than others or have bigger egos,” he added.”But a good environment is able to take that into account and still let people express themselves and get the best out of themselves.”One of those players with a larger-than-average ego is Pietersen, who has struggled to reassert himself since returning to the squad following his Achilles injury, and produced a particularly frenetic six-ball performance at Port Elizabeth on Sunday. And true to form, Smith cranked up the psychological pressure by reminding him of the reasons why he is not the most universally popular cricketer on this tour.”He’s obviously got a history through things that he’s done and said, and people are still getting over those emotions,” said Smith. “The crowds have been quite vocal again towards him. Ultimately, I think it’s just his job to get on with it and deal with that. It happens round the world these days.”

Alberto Valentim comandou na manhã deste sábado um treino tático na Academia de Futebol, sem a presença de jornalistas. O técnico montou a escalação que deve começar a partida de segunda, contra o Cruzeiro, mas publicamente ainda mantém uma dúvida no meio-campo, já que a atividade foi fechada à imprensa. Para o confronto, ele não terá Bruno Henrique, suspenso.
A primeira parte do trabalho consistiu em um trabalho de posicionamento dos titulares, tanto para situações de jogo quanto para bolas paradas. Depois, o interino trouxe outra parte do grupo para enfrentar a primeira equipe em um coletivo.
Da escalação que venceu o Grêmio, no último domingo, apenas Bruno não poderá jogar – Jean é o principal candidato à vaga. O provável Palmeiras tem Fernando Prass, Mayke, Edu Dracena, Juninho e Egídio; Jean, Tchê Tchê e Moisés; Dudu, Keno e Borja.
Com 53 pontos, o Verdão é o vice-líder do Brasileiro, a seis do Corinthians, o primeiro colocado. A partida contra o Cruzeiro começará às 20h, no Allianz Parque. Até agora, 31 mil ingressos foram vendidos para o confronto da 31ª rodada do Brasileirão.

O G6 do Campeonato Brasileiro, que no momento é G7, é objetivo de todas as equipes. E o Botafogo está nele (G7). Apesar disso, o Glorioso também figura num grupo não muito desejado pelos clubes: o de mais faltosos da competição. Com 74 cartões, o Alvinegro é o sexto time que mais sofreu esta punição no Brasileirão.
Na frente dele, estão apenas Chapecoense (87), Vasco (85), Atlético-MG (81), Coritiba (78) e Santos (77). O Botafogo, portanto, é um caso raro de time bem posicionado na tabela (7°, com 44 pontos), mas com muitos cartões, algo que geralmente caminha junto com equipes da parte de baixo da tabela.
É claro que fazer faltas faz parte do jogo, mas diante de um elenco esvaziado, como o do Botafogo, perder jogadores por suspensão tem peso maior. Contra o Corinthians, na próxima segunda-feira, às 20h, no Nilton Santos, pela 30ª rodada, o Alvinegro não terá nenhum jogador fora por suspensão, mas terá sete pendurados, quase um time todo: Gatito Fernández, Jefferson, Igor Rabello, Marcos Vinicius, Rodrigo Lindoso, João Paulo e Emerson.
O capitão Carli, por exemplo, já foi amarelado nove vezes na competição e foi baixa contra o Avaí, no turno e no returno, e contra o Atlético-GO. Coincidência ou não, o Glorioso tropeçou, com três empates, nos três jogos. Bruno Silva, com sete, e João Paulo e Igor Rabello, ambos cinco vezes, são os outros líderes do quesito no Botafogo.

After it was recently reported by The Athletic that the San Francisco 49ers have a deal in place to buy Leeds United for more than £400m with an option for 100% control of the Yorkshire club to pass to 49ers Enterprises by January 2024, which includes ownership of Elland Road, it seems as though fresh details have emerged on the matter.
What’s the news?
Leeds journalist Adam Pope recently shared a post on his Twitter page with some fresh details on the proposed takeover deal.
He said: “I understand that due to a multiple of revenues the overall price to take over Leeds could rise to £500m or more depending on factors such as future spending and league status.”
Pope also said that Andrea Radrizzani’s company Aser have the option to void the deal if they wish and that the current message seems to be 49ers and Leeds are “still working closely.”
Radz buzzing
Radrizzani completed his takeover of Leeds back in May 2017, ending Massimo Cellino’s three-year spell as the club’s owner after buying a 50% stake in January of the same year.
Since then, the Yorkshire club have managed to rise from the bottom half of the Championship at the end of the 2017/18 season to a top-half finish in the Premier League last season under Marcelo Bielsa’s guidance.
With the future in mind, it seems as though the club could be welcoming new owners in the near future to presumably push the club even further than they’ve managed to come under Bielsa and Radrizzani, which would surely delight a lot of Leeds fans.
However, taking into account what Pope had to say in his recent tweet, it seems as though the club’s final league position this season could have some sort of financial impact on what the takeover deal could look like.
Consequently, if Leeds can finish as high up the table as possible, this would lead to more money being put into the club, which would surely be music to Radrizzani’s ears. Not only would he have generated some fantastic results behind the scenes, keeping them in the division, but his pockets will be larger as a result.
Of course, the Italian’s first thoughts should be with the club but he will surely be motivated by the opportunity to gain an even greater source of income from Leeds’ accomplishments this term. The end goal for Radrizzani was always to cement their Premier League status and if he ends his tenure at Elland Road with that achieved, he will be a very happy man indeed.
However, the fact that Leeds are currently sitting in 15th position in the Premier League table with 16 points on the board from their opening 15 games of the season suggests that there is still some work to be done throughout the second half of the season if they want to match or even improve on their ninth-place finish in the league last season.

Crystal Palace defender Joachim Andersen missed Saturday’s defeat to Aston Villa with a hamstring injury.
However, the centre-back isn’t expected to be out long-term, according to The Athletic, an update which has had plenty of Palace fans talking on social media.
The 25-year-old missed his first Premier League game after signing over the summer, with the Eagles finally losing at home under Patrick Vieira. James Tomkins came in for the Denmark international and had plenty of Palace supporters lamenting his display following the defeat to Steven Gerrard’s side.
Matt Woosnam shared a story on Sunday claiming that Andersen will undergo more tests and will receive the results on Monday, with Palace hopeful of the defender returning soon. Vieira’s side are next in action on Tuesday night when they travel to Leeds United.
Palace fans react
Woosnam and @CPFCtransfersHQ shared the news regarding Andersen on Twitter. Here is what these fans had to say in reply, with many relieved that the injury is not a serious one.
