Wilson could repeat transfer "mistake" with £15m flop, Rangers fans will be fuming - opinion

Glasgow Rangers are interested in a deal to bring Wesley Hoedt to Ibrox in the January transfer window.

What’s the talk?

That’s according to a report by the Daily Record, who claim that Ross Wilson sent scouts to watch the centre-back in action for Anderlecht last weekend ahead of a potential move for the 27-year-old in the winter market.

A further report by Ibrox Noise also suggested that Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s side are keeping a very close eye on the defender, who already holds a relationship with three of the current Rangers staff – Wilson, who signed the defender for Southampton, Kemar Roofe, who played with the centre-back at Anderlecht, and Van Bronckhorst himself, a compatriot of Hoedt.

Fans will fume

Considering just how poor a signing for Southampton Hoedt proved to be, the news that Wilson appears to once again be targeting a move for the 27-year-old is surely something that will make Rangers fans fume.

Indeed, following his £15m move to St. Mary’s back in 2017, the centre-back went on to make just 45 appearances for the Premier League side, with Ralph Hasenhuttl sending the defender out on loan to clubs such as Celta Vigo, Royal Antwerp and Lazio – the latter of whom rejected the chance to make the Netherlands international’s temporary switch a €5m (£4m) permanent deal this summer.

The defender himself even admitted Wilson’s decision to sign him for Saints was a mistake, stating: “[Hasenhuttl] told me he wanted to give me a second chance, but I never got one to begin with. I trained hard for six weeks, but it was for nothing. After another chat with him, I decided to prove my worth elsewhere.

“I made a mistake [leaving Lazio]. I had a five-year contract with them. Italian football culture is very professional, but everyone wants to play in the best league in the world, the Premier League, and Southampton offered me a contract that I couldn’t refuse. Unfortunately, the club had two bad seasons and things didn’t go as I thought they would.”

As such, while it is true the £13k-per-week centre-back is enjoying a much better time of it at Anderlecht, averaging a SofaScore match rating of 7.01 over his 16 Pro League appearances this season, considering just how badly things turned out for Hoedt last time he was in the UK, the signing of the defender would very much appear to be a risk that is not worth taking for Wilson.

ten Doeschate blitz sends Essex up

Ryan ten Doeschate produced a destructive 59-ball 108 and Mark Pettini played a captain’s innings of 85 from 94 deliveries to put Essex back in the top flight for the first time since 2003

Andrew McGlashan at Derby26-Sep-2009
ScorecardWith five overs left of the Championship season, Essex secured last-ditch promotion to Division One with a five-wicket victory against Derbyshire having been left a hefty, but still generous, target of 359 in 65 overs. Ryan ten Doeschate produced a destructive 59-ball 108 and Mark Pettini played a captain’s innings of 85 from 94 deliveries to put Essex back in the top flight for the first time since 2003 at the expense of Northamptonshire.However, when James Foster fell to a top-edged sweep they still needed 156 from 22 overs. Up stepped ten Doeschate and provided the injection that Essex were looking for, while Pettini remained calm throughout to play his most important innings of the season. ten Doeschate reached fifty from 35 balls and then increased his tempo further, taking 16 off an over from Graham Wagg including consecutive pulled sixes and took further sixes off Wayne Madsen and Steffan Jones.ten Doeschate has made his name with clean-striking displays both for Essex and Netherlands, but this will go down as one of his most crucial innings. “It’s certainly right up there,” he said. He reached a memorable century with a flat-batted cover drive from his 57th ball – the second fifty taking just 22 deliveries – and his team-mates cheered loudly from the dressing room. His eighth six put Essex two away from their target. Promotion was then sealed when Pettini chipped a single down the ground to spark celebrations. The feeling will be very different at Wantage Road.There will be despondency for Northamptonshire, who did all they could with an innings-and-196-run victory against Leicestershire. Eyebrows will be raised at Derbyshire’s declaration, especially as there was no reason to be as generous as they had nothing to play for and knew that Essex would have to chase whatever they were set. There were a few angry Northamptonshire followers contacting local radio stations to protest that Derbyshire had given Essex the chance of overtaking them.Pettini and Alastair Cook sent down 13 overs of gentle bowling to hasten Derbyshire towards the target although they cost a relatively modest 78 runs as the home side weren’t overly aggressive. Then, 15 minutes before lunch, the declaration surprisingly arrived. If Chris Rogers’ desire was to have a good game of cricket then that is to be applauded, but he shouldn’t expect a particularly warm reception when Northamptonshire visit the County Ground next season.After a brief period of attack with the new ball, all Derbyshire’s slips disappeared and it turned into a one-day game as Essex milked the spinners. At the start of the chase they needed 5.52 and always had it under control. The top three provided a solid base with Tom Westley again impressing before cutting to backward point and John Maunders making 55. With 20 overs remaining they needed 138 – easy in the Twenty20 era.That target was whittled down increasingly quickly by ten Doeschate. Essex have become the master of the final-day chase, having secured vital wins against Middlesex and, last week, against Northamptonshire before this successful pursuit. Northamptonshire will look back ruefully on that game at Chelmsford when their second innings fell apart.The debate has started again about the merits of two divisions, but the fact that promotion wasn’t decided until the final session of the season ensured the interest (although, that is a relative term) was maintained. Division Two, without the fear of relegation hanging over teams and only promotion to aim for, has produced the more attacking play this season which is one reason why some would like a return to the original format.It does seem slightly incongruous that there is prize money for the top four sides in Division One, and then the 10th and 11th best teams in the country. But having more games that matter at the tail-end of the summer is worthwhile and the answer could lie in abolishing bonus points to make winning more vital. However, those debates can carry on over the winter and into next summer. For now Essex can reflect on a job well done, while Northamptonshire consider what might have been.

Timão retoma a formação ideal após 67 dias; veja relacionados do clássico

MatériaMais Notícias

Depois de 67 dias do empate sem gols contra o Avaí na Ressacada, o técnico Fábio Carille poderá escalar a formação que considera ideal do Corinthians no clássico deste domingo, às 11h, contra o São Paulo, pela 25ª rodada do Brasileirão. No banco de reservas, entretanto, o comandante não poderá contar com algumas peças importantes do elenco, a exemplo do meia-atacante Pedrinho, que ainda não está 100% fisicamente um mês depois de uma cirurgia para retirada das amígdalas.

Na lista de 23 relacionados, o meia Danilo também é desfalque mesmo já tendo treinado sem restrições nesta semana, mas em contrapartida retornam o lateral-esquerdo Guilherme Arana, preservado no meio de semana por desgaste muscular na coxa direita, e o atacante Clayson, que estava suspenso na última rodada do Brasileirão e não inscrito na Copa Sul-Americana – ele foi desfalque da equipe nas três últimas partidas da temporada.

Cássio; Fagner, Balbuena, Pablo e Guilherme Arana; Gabriel e Maycon; Jadson, Rodriguinho e Romero; Jô será a escalação do Corinthians no Morumbi. Este time atuou 11 vezes na temporada e está invicto: sete vitórias e quatro empates, com 17 gols a favor e apenas três sofridos. O último jogo com esta formação foi contra o Avaí, mas Carille perdeu Pablo e Jadson por lesão precocemente. Antes disso havia sido a vitória no clássico contra o Palmeiras, por 2 a 0, no Allianz Parque.

Entre os relacionados, além de Pedrinho e Danilo, também não estão Vilson, Léo Santos, Paulo Roberto e Carlinhos por questões físicas. Ficam fora por opção de Carille o goleiro Matheus, o lateral-esquerdo Moisés e os volantes Ameixa e Mantuan.

Southampton fans slam Diallo v Norwich

Many Southampton fans have been slamming the performance of Ibrahima Diallo in their 2-1 loss at Norwich City on Saturday.

After a promising start with Che Adams giving the Saints the lead inside the first four minutes, the visitors were almost immediately pegged back by Teemu Pukki, before Grant Hanley gave the hosts all three points with a header from a second half corner kick.

Diallo started the match well but badly tailed off in the second half. Asked to play as a right midfielder by Ralph Hasenhuttl, he failed to record a shot, lost six of his 12 duels and made only one accurate cross throughout the match, while he was also guilty of losing possession 12 times, the joint-sixth most out of any of his teammates at Carrow Road (SofaScore).

Southampton fans slam Diallo

These Southampton supporters slammed the 22-year-old’s performance on Twitter, with one even going as far as to claim that he was ‘hopeless’ against Norwich:

“Our squad is still not good enough. Theo Walcott coming onto the pitch in 2021 is a horrifying indictment of the state of the club. So is not having a single option to switch a Diallo who had an absolute nightmare of a second half”

“McCarthy is the first player who needs to be dropped, closely followed by Bednarek and Diallo. I hope Walcott never puts a #saintsfc shirt on again. Can’t wait for his contract to end”

“Walcott, Broja, Diallo all hopeless in 2nd half”

“#saintsfc undoing all of their good work from the first half. KWP neutered, Diallo not getting it right, too many misplaced passes. Norwich have wanted it more and will get the result. Also, how Theo is stealing a living is beyond me. Poor Nathan Tella”

“Diallo’s passing today has been some of the worst I’ve ever seen. I’m not sure how he’s still on the pitch”

“#SaintsFC pushing our luck again in the 2nd half – same against Villa. Someone remind Diallo we’re playing in red.”

Strauss on song, Ponting not

Australia’s openers stood firm during a torrid 20.2-over session on the second morning at The Oval, employing luck and skill in equal measures to chisel their way to 61 for 0

Strauss preferred Stuart Broad to Graeme Swann and reaped the benefits as he took five wickets in 47 deliveries•Getty Images

Strauss in tune
Andrew Strauss’s captaincy has been criticised during the series for being defensive and too slow to make changes. He couldn’t be accused of that today. After the lunch/rain break he could have played safe and kept on Graeme Swann, who created danger before the interval with his offspin. Strauss preferred Stuart Broad and was rewarded with five wickets in 47 deliveries from the allrounder. Later in the session Strauss replaced James Anderson with Swann and watched him take two wickets in five balls – and four for the innings – as the tourists fell over for 160.Ponting fails
The most crucial wicket was that of Ricky Ponting, a batsman who is usually at his best in the biggest contests. He never looked right today and was edgy and jerky in his movements. Broad sent a ball angling in, Ponting shifted back to play it, but it ran into his angled bat and on to the stumps. England couldn’t believe their good fortune, and an over later Michael Hussey basically padded up to continue his slump.Fred’s farewell
It’s been a tough two days for Andrew Flintoff, who was out for 7 on the opening afternoon and then went wicket-less in his first two spells. His knee remains a worry and he’s desperate to make an impact in his final Test. Strauss brought Flintoff on with the final pair in and in his fifth over he yorked Ben Hilfenhaus, sending the already excited locals to their feet again.Come in spinner. Oh, we didn’t pick one
The pitch has offered significant turn and late in the day Marcus North was called for the 11th over of the innings. In his second he removed Alastair Cook with a ball that spun sharply on the way to Michael Clarke at slip. If this is what a part-time offie can do, what might the specialist Nathan Hauritz have done? He wasn’t picked and the Australians are left to wonder.The record stops
Anderson’s lbw to Ben Hilfenhaus ended his streak of not being dismissed for zero. He had maintained the record through 54 Test innings, but that’s where it stopped as he played back and was hit on the back leg in his 55th. There wasn’t any doubt over the decision, but turtles have left the ground faster than the disappointed Anderson.Fourth time lucky
While Anderson was given straight away, Shane Watson survived three huge appeals before England finally won an lbw decision against him. Anderson had the first shout with one coming back and in the next over Flintoff roared twice to similar deliveries. The opening two balls were heading slightly over the stumps, but the third was crashing into them. Not according to Asad Rauf. Finally, with Watson on 34, England broke through when Broad arrived and Billy Bowden raised his finger.Nicked off
It was Australia’s turn to feel aggrieved a few wickets later with Marcus North’s lbw and Stuart Clark’s caught. North was playing forward to Swann when he got an inside edge that wasn’t spotted by Rauf. North was decent enough to smile, both at the appeal and the decision, rather than swear. Clark wasn’t as good humoured, walking off with a lot of muttering in Rauf’s direction after he was hit on the pad flap and taken at short leg. Cook, the catcher, was probably closer to the ball when it hit the batsman than the bat.

Newcastle predicted XI to face Brentford

Newcastle go in search of their first Premier League win of the season as they host Brentford at St James’ Park on Saturday.

Eddie Howe will be in the dugout for the first time since being named as the permanent successor to Steve Bruce and he will be looking for a reaction from the players on the pitch.

The Magpies were held to a 1-1 draw by Brighton last time out in the top flight, with Graeme Jones in charge that evening, and the former Bournemouth boss could look to stamp his personality on the side following that result.

How many changes will Howe make to the team? Here is our predicted XI…

We are predicting that he will make three alternations to the team which started at Brighton, with Jamal Lewis, Fabian Schar and Joe Willock all coming in today.

Along with the change in personnel, Howe could deploy a 4-3-3 formation. Jones lined up with a 5-4-1 against Brighton and looked to set up defensively. However, the ex-Cherries boss may want his side to be on the front foot and trying to attack the opposition, which is why 4-3-3 could be implemented from the start.

With this formation, a change in defence will be required. We published an article explaining why Fabian Schar must be unleashed against the Bees and this means that two of the centre-backs who started against Brighton need to be dropped – Ciaran Clark and Emil Krafth, neither of whom has been especially convincing of late. This leaves Schar and captain Jamaal Lascelles as the two centre-backs to start Howe’s reign at St James’ Park.

At left-back, Jamal Lewis could come in for his first start of the season in place of Matt Ritchie. The Scottish defender played under Howe at Bournemouth but he has been in patchy form of late – with SofaScore ratings of 6.4 and 6.3 against Tottenham and Chelsea respectively – and it could be time for Lewis to get a chance to shine.

The former Norwich man has only made one appearance in the league this season, which came off the bench, and Howe’s arrival has provided a clean slate for him. He could be given an opportunity to come in and show that he can perform to a higher level than Ritchie of late, with the £44k-per-week dud set to be axed from the starting XI.

Finally, Joe Willock could return to bolster the midfield, coming in to replace Krafth and facilitate the change in formation. The ex-Arsenal man scored eight Premier League goals during his loan spell on Tyneside in the second half of last season and could provide a goalscoring threat from midfield to improve Newcastle’s chances of finding the net, which is why he could be selected in the team today.

Everton Ribeiro e Diego discordam de que não possam jogar juntos pelo Fla

MatériaMais Notícias

O Flamengo é o clube com um dos principais elencos do futebol brasileiro em 2017 e isso tem dado uma dor de cabeça boa para o colombiano Reinaldo Rueda escalar o time nas partidas pela Copa do Brasil, Sul-Americana, Brasileirão e Primeira Liga. Desde que chegou ao clube, o treinador tem estudado as melhores opções para o Rubro-Negro.

Além das dúvidas no gol no caso da Copa do Brasil, onde Diego Alves não pode jogar, a posição de armador também está deixando uma pulga atrás da orelha de Rueda. Anteriormente, o colombiano já havia falado que vê Diego e Everton Ribeiro disputando a mesma vaga e nos últimos jogos, o camisa 7 ficou no banco, enquanto o 35 foi titular.

Após a partida contra a Chapecoense, onde Diego foi substituído por Everton Ribeiro, o camisa 35 falou sobre a disputa com o companheiro e disse que os dois podem atuar juntos.

– Nunca ouvi de nenhum treinador que eu e o Everton não podemos jogar juntos. Ele é um jogador de muita qualidade.

Everton Ribeiro também falou sobre o assunto, mas fez questão de lembrar que respeita a decisão de Rueda.

– Lógico que eu gostaria de estar jogando, mas tem a situação da Copa do Brasil. Sempre que precisar estarei à disposição, quero ajudar. Junto com o Diego ou não.

Palmeiras empresta Thiago Martins para o Bahia até o fim do ano

MatériaMais Notícias

O Palmeiras acertou o empréstimo de Thiago Martins ao Bahia até o fim desta temporada. Recuperado da cirurgia que fez no joelho esquerdo em março, o zagueiro terá mais chances de jogar na nova equipe durante estes três meses. Não há a opção de compra para o clube tricolor ao término do acordo.

Thiago, inclusive, já está em Salvador (BA) junto com o elenco do Bahia, que deve oficializar ainda nesta quarta a contratação. O defensor de 22 anos chegou ao Verdão em 2013, para integrar o time sub-20. Mesmo atrapalhado por duas lesões no joelho desde que foi contratado, em 2016 foi peça importante na campanha do título brasileiro,tendo atuado em 17 partidas, com dois gols marcados.

O camisa 31 vinha treinando com o restante do elenco de Cuca, mas as oportunidades seriam escassas. Luan e Edu Dracena são os titulares da defesa, enquanto Juninho e Antônio Carlos são os reservas – Mina está se recuperando de uma cirurgia no pé e deve voltar daqui a cerca de dois meses ainda. Pedrão, zagueiro da base, agrada à comissão técnica e pode ser usado durante treinos ou em caso de necessidade.

O contrato de Thiago Martins com o Palmeiras é válido até o fim de 2019.
