Joe Allen hopeful of Euro 2016 role

KampusbeT  ~   " Joe Allen hopeful of Euro 2016 role "

 

Agen MaxbeT  ~   Liverpool midfielder Joe Allen has admitted that he already has one eye on this summer's European Championship.

The 25-year-old will travel to France with Wales after they qualified for a major tournament for the first time since 1958, but could struggle to nail down a regular first-team spot if chances at club level are hard to come by.

Allen has not been a regular starter for Liverpool under Jurgen Klopp, but has enjoyed a good spell of form in January and is hoping to continue that resurgence through to the summer.

"I would be lying if I said that [Euro 2016] was not at the back of my mind. There is enough time between now and then for more opportunities so I will keep the faith and hopefully go to the Euros in good nick," he is quoted as saying by PA.

Bandar Judi Online MaxbeT  ~   "It's been a tough season with the competition as fierce as ever so any opportunity comes along I've got to show what I can do and I hope the last few weeks can be a springboard to push my way, force my way, into the reckoning for more games.

"But my focus is on making sure I am ready. Sometimes if you are not playing you can take your foot off the pedal a bit and I've wanted to make sure that has not happened.

 I don't want to get my chance and then blow it. It's testing because everyone wants to play week in, week out, but we'll see what comes of it."

Allen captained Liverpool for the first time in their goalless draw with West Ham United in the FA Cup on Saturday, but could find himself on the bench once again when the Reds take on league leaders Leicester City on Tuesday.

 

Chelsea's Eden Hazard can have "beautiful" 2016 after ugly end to last year says boss Guss Hiddink

KampusbeT  ~   " Chelsea's Eden Hazard can have "beautiful" 2016 after ugly end to last year says boss Guss Hiddink " 

Agen SbobeT  ~   Eden Hazard has been told by Guus Hiddink to get ­himself fit and return to the form that propelled Chelsea to last season’s title, writes Anthony Clavane in the Sunday People.

The Belgium international was the 2015 Footballer of the Year – but he has yet to score a goal for the Blues this campaign.

Stand-in boss Hiddink is ­concerned that playmaker Hazard has been struggling with ­injury for the past two months and wants the ­25-year-old to step up to the plate ahead of what could be a huge year for him.

Chelsea appear to have turned a corner ­after the Dutch coach replaced Jose Mourinho – and will need Hazard to be back to his very best for their end-of-season run-in, starting with Sunday’s FA Cup fourth-round trip to Championship side MK Dons.

And with Euro 2016 approaching, Hiddink thinks now is the time for the Belgian star to rediscover his form.

“When getting his rhythm back, he’s of big value to Chelsea,” said the west Londoners’ interim boss. 

“He’s a very important player to us. A nice player. He has this injury and that’s been an unstable situation for at least two months.

“He is eager to perform, but the physical fitness must be there.

“Hopefully, he is coming back to where he was before. But he needs training and game fitness, and you get that by playing games.

Bandar Judi Online SbobeT  ~   “For the club, beautiful times can come up for him. And on top of that there is the Euros coming up. 

Everyone who is a ­candidate for being a big player in the upcoming time, and then the Euros, it’s a beautiful period for them.”

Despite the forward’s ­disappointing performances this season, Hazard is wanted by Real Madrid, Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain.

It is believed Chelsea ­owner Roman Abramovich will ­demand £80m before even thinking about selling him. 

Hiddink said: “You don’t have that every day in your pocket, but it’s not up to me. It’s up to the club.­

Interim manager Hiddink confirmed last week’s news that Abramovich had made four recent unscheduled visits to the training ground.

Watched at his press conference by Chelsea chairman Bruce Buck, the Dutchman said: “Roman was here the previous week several times.

“For the under-21s game against QPR, I said, ‘Please come down’. Normally, when big bosses come to the training ground, then it’s a bad message. 

They go there to punish or whatever. That has ­happened in the past.

“But I’ve also invited my bosses down. Normally they don’t want to ­interfere, but I say they’re ­welcome to come to training and watch. I like that.”

Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid transfer bans suspended

KampusbeT  ~   " Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid transfer bans suspended "

Agen SbobeT  ~   Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid have had their upcoming transfer bans suspended while FIFA's appeal committee considers the situation.

The two capital clubs were previously informed that they would not be allow to sign players in the upcoming summer transfer window, as well as the January 2017 transfer window, as a punishment for allegedly breaking rules regarding the signing of players aged under 18.

In a statement, Real Madrid confirmed on Friday night: "Real Madrid has announced that the FIFA Appeal Committee has decided to provisionally suspend the sanction imposed on the club."

Bandar Judi Online SbobeT  ~   Atletico added: "The FIFA Appeal Committee has granted the probationary suspension of the sanction imposed by the Disciplinary Committee of said body that prevented our club from signing national or foreign football players during the next two full periods of recruitment.

"The probationary suspension of said sanction shall be applied pending the outcome of the appeal filed by our club with the Appeal Committee of the maximum global governing body of football."

The news means that the clubs will be free to start signing new players this summer if the appeal committee has not reached a decision before the window opens on July 1.

West Ham starlet Reece Oxford's Charlton loan move is off - because Jose Riga doesn't know who he is

KampusbeT  ~   " West Ham starlet Reece Oxford's Charlton loan move is off - because Jose Riga doesn't know who he is "

Agen TangKasneT  ~   West Ham rising star Reece Oxford’s move to Charlton is off - because Jose Riga doesn’t know who he is. 

The Addicks head coach is understood to have vetoed the loan switch which would have seen the 17-year-old gain regular first-team football until the end of the season.

Oxford hit the headlines earlier this season with an outstanding performance in West Ham’s Premier League win over Arsenal. 

The appearance for the Hammers had made him the second-youngest starter in Premier League history behind Jose Baxter.

Bandar Judi Online TangKasneT  ~   He lost possession just once during the match playing in front of the back four. He can also, however, play in defence.

The idea behind his loan move was for him to further his education in order to help him to break into the Irons first team.

Talks are now underway to establish whether Charlton will change their minds.

Liverpool yet to submit new Joel Matip bid as they plot summer switch for Schalke defender

Kampusbet  ~   " Liverpool yet to submit new Joel Matip bid as they plot summer switch for Schalke defender "

Agen Klik4D  ~   Liverpool haven't made a new bid for Schalke defender Joel Matip in this transfer window - but remain hopeful of securing his services in the summer. 

Reports in Germany suggested the Reds had tabled a new bid for the 24-year-old.

But Mirror Football understands the club haven't made an offer but are looking to bring him to Anfield when his contract runs out at the end of the campaign.

Jurgen Klopp has been an admirer of the Cameroonian international since his time as Borussia Dortmund boss and is keen to add the 6'3" centre-back to the Liverpool squad, with the defender said to be up for a new challenge. 

Bandar Judi Online Klik4D  ~    Liverpool have faced a defensive injury crisis this month and brought in Steven Caulker on loan until the end of the season, after seeing his four senior centre-backs all struggle with injury at some point. 

Caulker's arrival from QPR is seen only as a short-term measure and he will leave Anfield at the end of the season.

Matip, who has 27 caps for his country, was wanted by Schalke to pen a new deal.

But the player has stood firm over his desire to ply his trade elsewhere next season.

Kampusbet  ~   " Luis Suarez says he'll ONLY join Liverpool if he ever returns to the Premier League "

Agen MaxbeT  ~    Luis Suarez has promised he would only ever play for Liverpool if he secured a Premier League return.

And the Barcelona star lavished praise on the Anfield club’s supporters in an interview with ESPN.

Suarez, who won PFA player of the year as a Liverpool player in 2014, said: “You never know what might happen in the future, but if I were to return to England it would only be to play for Liverpool and never for another team.

Bandar Judi Online MaxbeT  ~   “I’ve missed the fans. The atmosphere is incredible.

“Everyone that has played for Liverpool knows how important the supporters are. They know that they’re in my heart.’

Suarez is currently top scorer in La Liga, where Barcelona went top on Saturday after a 2-1 win at Malaga.

Daniele De Rossi allegedly calls Mario Mandzukic a "piece of s*** gypsy" during Roma's loss to Juventus

Kampusbet  ~   " Daniele De Rossi allegedly calls Mario Mandzukic a "piece of s*** gypsy" during Roma's loss to Juventus "

Agen SbobeT  ~   Roma midfielder Daniele De Rossi could be in hot water after being accused calling Juventus striker Mario Mandzukic a "piece of s*** gypsy" during a Serie A match on Sunday.

Italian outlet Gazzetta World allege that the Italian international was caught mouthing the insult towards Mandzukic by TV cameras.

The battle between Roma skipper De Rossi and Croatian international Manduzkic was a running theme during a bad-tempered clash in Turin.

Roma manager Luciano Spaletti did not deny what De Rossi is alleged to have said and instead advised the midfielder to cover his mouth when making comments during future matches.

"He [De Rossi] didn't put his hand up to his mouth, but I will tell him to do that next time," Spalletti said.

Bandar Judi Online SbobeT  ~   "In difficult moments like that, certain manners can go amiss. But Mandzukic was taking the p*** out of all the [Roma] players during the game."

Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri was keen to play down the incident, which has caused a storm in Italy.

"I don't know what De Rossi said to Mandzukic and I don't know what Mandzukic said to De Rossi, but players regularly trade comments with each other during games," Allegri said.

Paulo Dybala scored the only goal of the game for the Bianconeri as they extended their Serie A winning streak to 11 matches and kept the gap between themselves and league leaders Napoli to two points.

Sunderland boss Sam Allardyce wants transfer window to shut — so he can watch EASTENDERS

Kampusbet  ~   " Sunderland boss Sam Allardyce wants transfer window to shut — so he can watch EASTENDERS "

Agen SbobeT  ~   Big Sam can’t wait for the the transfer window to close so he can get back to watching his favourite telly programmes.

Allardyce has had to give up his beloved EastEnders, Corrie and Emmerdale because he has been poring over so many DVDs of potential targets.

Trying to find new players to help Sunderland’s desperate relegation fight has turned into a real soap opera and he will be glad when the window slams shut next Monday.

“You’re never calm in the transfer window, it’s a horrid time for everybody, but even worse when you’re in the position we’re in,” said the Sunderland boss.

“I can’t even watch my favourites on TV. No EastEnders, Coronation Street, no Emmerdale either. I’m not bothered about missing Hollyoaks though!”

Allardyce has signed German defender Jan Kirchhoff and Senegal striker Dame N’Doye and now wants Swansea’s Andre Ayew.

Bandar Judi Online SbobeT  ~   Sunderland played like a side headed for the Championship for most of the first half and trailed to Benik Afobe’s header before rallying and equalising through Patrick van Aanholt’s strike.

The effort by Afobe was his second for the Cherries in three games – on top of his 10 for Wolves before his £10million switch – and he wants to emulate Jamie Vardy and Odion Ighalo by proving he can make the step up from the Championship.

“I look at the likes of Ighalo and Vardy, they’ve scored goals in the Championship like me and made their mark at the highest level,” said the former Arsenal trainee.

“They’ve stepped up and are good role models for me. I’m young, I’m English and I believe I have all the tools to be a top player.

“I feel I belong in the Premier League, but I’ve got to keep proving it.”

Does Sir Alex Ferguson mouth "he's gone" after Louis van Gaal leads Manchester United to another defeat?

Kampusbet  ~   " Does Sir Alex Ferguson mouth "he's gone" after Louis van Gaal leads Manchester United to another defeat? "

Agen TangKasneT  ~   Does Sir Alex Ferguson believe that Louis van Gaal's time at Manchester United could be up? 

The legendary Old Trafford boss was caught on camera at the end of United's 1-0 defeat to Southampton on Saturday afternoon. 

A late Charlie Austin goal saw the Red Devils suffer defeat at the hands of the Saints for the second year running at home.

Supporters around the stadium booed throughout the match - with plenty of United fans calling for Van Gaal to again be sacked at the full-time whistle.

But does Ferguson share their views? It has been alleged on Twitter that Ferguson is mouthing the comment "he's gone" when the camera panned to him.

However, fans backlashed at the comment insisting that Ferguson was instead saying "I don't know".

That was referenced by the Twitter user who first uploaded the video, which was retweeted over 300 times.

Van Gaal is the bookmakers' favourite to be the next Premier League boss to be given the boot.

Bandar Judi Online TangKasneT  ~   Paddy Power, William Hill and SkyBet have all made the under-fire manager odds on to leave his post before anyone else in the division.

Odds tumbled after United fell to their sixth Premier League defeat of the season under Van Gaal, leaving the Reds 10 points off leaders Leicester City at full time.

The loss also saw United slip further behind in the race for Champions League football, with Austin's winning header for Saints leaving Van Gaal's side five points off Tottenham in fourth.

Van Gaal refused to answer questions over whether he would leave United in the summer on Friday.

“I don't think that the press have to help me with my decisions," he said.

"First they have sacked me and now they are interfering in my future. I don't think I have to answer that question.”

Remi Garde is the second favourite to leave a Premier League club at 5-1. With William Hill, Van Gaal is at an ominous 2/7.

Leicester boss Claudio Ranieri enjoys Sunday lunch at Leicestershire pub - but they almost turned him away

Kampusbet  ~   " Leicester boss Claudio Ranieri enjoys Sunday lunch at Leicestershire pub - but they almost turned him away "

 

Agen Klik4D  ~   Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri thrilled pub diners when he joined them for Sunday lunch. 

The Cherry Tree pub in Little Bowden, Leicestershire, was in the middle of a busy lunch session last weekend when Ranieri and family members appeared.

Ranieri is currently hailed as the most popular man in Leicestershire after transforming the unfancied Foxes into Premiership title contenders.

The landlord's daughter, Jade North, said: "Everyone in the pub was in awe. And I think I'm still skipping round the place today."

The unexpected star visit almost turned sour, though.

Bandar Judi Online Klik4D  ~   Jade explained: "He just walked in and said 'can we eat'? and one of our serving staff said 'we're full at the moment' - which we were.

"I had to chase after him across the car park and say 'we'll sort something out for you'. He must have thought I was a bit mad!"

Claudio and three other family members enjoyed their Cherry Tree lunch, before the relaxed City manager smilingly posed for pictures behind the bar with landlord Phil North, the landlord's partner Karen Evans and Jade.

Jade added: "He's such a gentleman, and his family were all so sweet.

"None of us could quite believe what was happening. My dad just shook his hand and told him 'you've turned that club around!'"

 

Joao Teixeira unsure of Liverpool future

Kampusbet  ~   "Joao Teixeira unsure of Liverpool future "

Agen MaxbeT  ~   Liverpool midfielder Joao Teixeira has insisted that he will not think about his future at the club until the end of the season.

The 23-year-old's contract at Anfield runs out this summer, although negotiations are ongoing between the two parties to extend that deal.

The Portuguese playmaker revealed that he is keen to stay at the club, but also wants a more regular first-team role having made only five senior appearances for Liverpool.

"We are in conversations at the moment. My contract runs out at the end of this season. I want to stay but we will see what happens," Teixeira told the Liverpool Echo.

Bandar Judi Online MaxbeT  ~   "I don't want to think about my future too much right now. I just want to play football. I want to enjoy this moment and try to build on it.

"I just have to keep working hard and keep doing my best in training. Whenever chances come along like this to impress Jurgen Klopp, it's up to me to show him that I deserve more chances."

Teixeira scored his first goal for Liverpool during Wednesday's 3-0 victory over Exeter City in their FA Cup replay.

Jon Flanagan in contention for Liverpool return in FA Cup replay against Exeter after injury hell

Kampusbet  ~   " Jon Flanagan in contention for Liverpool return in FA Cup replay against Exeter after injury hell "

Agen SbobeT  ~   Jon Flanagan could make his long-awaited return from injury in Liverpool's FA Cup replay against Exeter.

The full-back has been out of action for a staggering 20 months after suffering a serious knee injury in May 2014.

He has turned out for the Reds' Under-21 side in recent weeks and is closing in on a return on Wednesday evening.

Jurgen Klopp confirmed Flanagan is set to be in the squad, but admitted he is nowhere near full fitness.

“Jon is in a really good way and we’re all happy about this," Klopp said.

“As a manager you can decide a lot but not all, so that means the medical department decided that he didn’t train yesterday with us. He will train today with us.

“He is not [ready] for the starting line-up, but if nothing happens and he feels good then he will be on the bench. If there is a situation then we will bring him [on], of course. It has really been a long time for him.

“I think now it’s the first step back for him to breathe in and feel Anfield; being back in the dressing room, not in a suit but a tracksuit, so it’s a good, good step for him. If nobody tells me something different, he will be in the squad.”

Bandar Judi Online SbobeT  ~  Klopp also indicated he would name a much-changed line-up for the clash, similar to the one that drew 2-2 at St James Park.

“There are different things we have to talk about and it is not always injury situations,” explained Klopp.

“We’ve had a few players in the squads for the games against Manchester United and Arsenal that were injured a few weeks ago.

“We have to think about for who it makes sense and for who it’s not too dangerous or difficult to start again.

 We have to build a squad with players who are in a situation to win the game, to help us, where there’s not too much doubt about [recurring] injuries and things like this.

“That’s the first thing we have to think about before the Exeter game, so it will be a similar team to last time.”

One player who won't be involved in Daniel Sturridge as he works his way to full fitness.

"There is absolutely no chance for Daniel,” said Klopp. “He had a break in his training sessions because of some issues; he is now back on the pitch and again training.

“He has had no team training until now since Newcastle, so that’s not a situation where we can think about him. We have always to find solutions.”

Southampton reject Liverpool transfer move for Shane Long despite weekend signing of Charlie Austin

Kampusbet  ~   " Southampton reject Liverpool transfer move for Shane Long despite weekend signing of Charlie Austin "

Agen SbobeT  ~   Liverpool have had an approach for Southampton striker Shane Long rebuffed by the south coast side.

Kop boss Jurgen Klopp was eyeing a shock £8million swoop for the Republic of Ireland ace to bolster his injury-hit frontline.

But Saints are determined to keep Long – who has scored eight goals this season – despite the £4m bargain buy of fellow frontman Charlie Austin from QPR over the weekend.

Southampton have been a favourite shopping destination for the Anfield club in recent seasons, with Adam Lallana, Dejan Lovren, Nathaniel Clyne and Rickie Lambert all moving from St Mary's to Anfield - as did Steven Caulker, who halted a season's loan to Ronald Koeman's men from QPR to join the Reds.

Bandar Judi Online SbobeT  ~   The Hampshire side could however cash in on top-scorer Graziano Pelle – wanted by Italian giants Juventus.

Speaking after Austin’s arrival, Saints chairman Ralph Krueger said: “Players coming in and out of here in the last two weeks of the transfer window is not in the plan.

 I would never say never on either direction because it’s the nature of the sport; you don’t know what opportunities present themselves.

“At the moment we are pleased with the depth and Ronald has shown we have different line-ups.

“Ideally would be to keep all those names in the line-up.”

Pelle is in the final 18 months of his contract and Saints are stalling on offering the Italy international a new deal.

Real Madrid's transfer ban will definitely be overturned, claims Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger

Kampusbet  ~   " Real Madrid's transfer ban will definitely be overturned, claims Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger "

Agen TangKasneT  ~   Arsene Wenger has dismissed the suggestion that Real Madrid will be prevented from signing players this summer.

The Spanish giants, along with rivals Atletico Madrid, have been hit with a transfer ban that will come into effect in June, and still be in place next January.

 

That led many to claim Real Madrid will go on a spending spree while they are still able to register new signings.

Arsenal's manager, though, believes the ban will be overturned easily. 

"I thought that [they would sign players now] at first when I heard the news," said Wenger. 

Bandar Judi Online TangKasneT  ~   "[But] they will appeal, they will cancel the ban and they will be allowed to buy in the next two transfer windows.

"That’s what will happen.”

Wenger also hinted that his own transfer business for January was complete - insisting he just wants the players he has to return from injury.

He added: “I would prefer to have my players back from their injuries. [Danny] Welbeck is two to three weeks away and I am confident I will not find a better player than Welbeck on the market.”

Manchester United set to complete signing of 16-year-old Italian centre-back Luca Ercolani

Kampusbet  ~   " Manchester United set to complete signing of 16-year-old Italian centre-back Luca Ercolani "

Agen Klik4D  ~   Manchester United are set to complete the signing of Italian centre-back Luca Ercolani in this window.

The 16-year-old has been on trial with the club for the last few months, impressing sufficiently to earn a contract, report the Manchester Evening News.

 

He is currently under contract at Serie D side Forli, and a compensation fee will be decided by FIFA, due to his tender years.

Ercolani has posted several pictures on his Instagram account of himself at United's Carrington training complex in recent months, including one alongside Under-21s goalkeeper Kieran O'Hara.

United have brought a number of Italian teenagers to the club this century. Giuseppe Rossi arrived in Manchester from Parma in 2004 before Roman duo Davide Petrucci and Federico Macheda arrived in 2008.

Bandar Judi Online Klik4D  ~   Rossi was a clinical finisher in United Reserves' 2005 title-winning side and showed flashes of class in the first-team, scoring four goals before he was sold to Villarreal in 2007.

Macheda memorably announced himself to the footballing world in 2009 with a glorious stoppage-time winner on his professional debut against Aston Villa as a 17-year-old. 

The next week, he struck another winner at Sunderland as United homed in on their 18th title.

Despite his auspicious start, Macheda never kicked on and was eventually sold in 2014.

Michele Fornasier won the 2011 Youth Cup with United and is now at Pescara and his compatriot, Alberto Massacci, was plagued by injuries at the club.

Jurgen Klopp admits his admiration for Arsene Wenger has risen since moving to England

Kampusbet  ~   " Jurgen Klopp admits his admiration for Arsene Wenger has risen since moving to England "

Agen MaxbeT  ~   Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says his admiration for Arsene Wenger has increased since moving to England to take charge of Liverpool.

Klopp and Wenger faced off six times during the German's time as Borussia Dortmund manager, with Dortmund and Arsenal drawn in the same Champions League group in 2011, 2012 and 2014.

The pair will renew rivalries at Anfield on Wednesday night when eighth-placed Liverpool welcome Premier League leaders Arsenal to Anfield.

And the 48-year-old Reds boss says the intensity of English football has only led to his respect for Wenger rising.

"My respect goes up day by day because it's really intensive to work in the Premier League, especially in a team with international matches (for their players) too," Klopp said.

He had always my biggest respect but now it's a little bit bigger since I'm here. That's really a brilliant job he's done - 19-and-a-half years.

"He's a high-quality manager, one of the best in the world for sure. This long period, it's really rare that you can do this but he did. He's a football maniac, in the best (sense of the word).

Bandar Judi Online MaxbeT  ~   "It was always a challenge to play against him and again a challenge that I'm looking forward to."

Arsenal can maintain their position at the top of the table with a win on Merseyside and Wenger highlighted the importance of extending their winning run to four matches.

The momentum creates confidence and confidence is vital at that level," said Wenger.

"In December and now in January we have been consistent and we go into a very important part of the season because we play many games and that consistency is a good basis to go into the next game with the right belief.

"The consistency of our results is very important. Therefore it was important to win on Saturday (against Sunderland in the FA Cup) and not to break that belief.

"It was good for me to see some players that have played less and to be down 1-0 and respond in the way we did and have an outstanding second half. It was all a very positive basis in preparation for Liverpool."

Liverpool target Neven Subotic will not be leaving Borussia Dortmund this month, insist German club

Kampusbet  ~   " Liverpool target Neven Subotic will not be leaving Borussia Dortmund this month, insist German club "

Agen SbobeT  ~   Liverpool target Neven Subotic will not be leaving Borussia Dortmund this month, the club have confirmed.

The Reds have suffered a defensive injury crisis in recent weeks with Jurgen Klopp expected to sign a defender this month. 

Subotic has been heavily linked with a move to Anfield, having played under Klopp at Dortmund and Mainz, reports the Liverpool Echo.

 

The 27-year-old has made just four starts this season but boss Thomas Tuchel says they can't afford to lose him.

“To Subotic, I can say that we need him as an integral part of the team,” he said.

Bandar Judi Online SbobeT  ~   If it remains solely my decision, there is not the slightest reason for a change.”

Klopp is a big admirer of Subotic, who played under the German at Mainz before moving with him to Dortmund in 2008.

The Liverpool manager has seen his defensive options heavily depleted by injuries to Joe Gomez, Martin Skrtel, Mamadou Sakho, Dejan Lovren and Kolo Toure.

Sakho and Toure are expected to be passed fit for Wednesday's visit of Arsenal in the Premier League.

Kampusbet  ~   " Michael Appleton issues hands-off warning to Newcastle over Oxford's FA Cup hero Kemar Roofe "

Agen SbobeT  ~   Michael Appleton warned Newcastle that Kemar Roofe is not for sale after the Oxford striker inspired the biggest giantkilling of the FA Cup third round.

The former West Brom striker scored twice for the League Two side to shock Premier League Swansea at a sold-out Kassam Stadium. 

Newcastle are leading the Premier League clubs chasing the signature of the 23-year-old who Appleton coached through the ranks at the Hawthorns.

But with Oxford in the running for promotion from League Two, the United manager insisted: “He is an Oxford United player and he is happy to be an Oxford United player and he doesn't want to go anywhere as he is enjoying his football here and improving day by day.

We are very confident we can keep him. At the end of the season it may be a different scenario depending on whether we get promoted or not but if you go in that dressing room no one wants to go anywhere anyway.

Bandar Judi Online SbobeT  ~    I have not needed to talk to him - I've known him since he was 12 so I know what makes him tick. He is very focused.” 

Roofe, who never made a first-team appearance for the Baggies, signed a three-year deal when he joined Oxford on a permanent deal from West Brom in May.

He has now scored 14 goals this season and insisted he has unfinished business at the Kassam Stadium. 

“I do feel I owe Oxford for giving me the chance and I have got a job to finish here,” he said. “That is why I am putting in my best performances and helping the teams win games. As long as we win and get to the next round. It doesn’t bother me who we get.”

Former Manchester United trainee Appleton added: “From a selfish point of view I'd be delighted with Manchester United because of my history and I'm still a big fan, believe it or not - even now!”

Jurgen Klopp takes full responsibility for Exeter draw and vows to field Liverpool youngsters in replay

Kampusbet  ~   " Jurgen Klopp takes full responsibility for Exeter draw and vows to field Liverpool youngsters in replay "

Agen TangKasneT  ~  Jurgen Klopp took full responsibility for Liverpool's near-humiliation - as his team of innocents snatched a late draw to avoid an FA Cup exit against League Two Exeter.

 

Klopp included eight inexperienced youngsters in his starting line-up and saw them fall behind twice before the break - with keeper Adam Bogdan blundering to allow Lee Holmes a goal directly from a corner.

But young Aussie full-back Brad Smith equalised 17 minutes from time -meaning Liverpool now face yet another fixture, with an Anfield replay in 11 days' time. 

Klopp , who has 12 senior pros out injured, said: "If you want to criticise somebody, criticise me and leave the players alone - these players tried all they could but if they made mistakes, it's myresponsibility. 

"It's the responsibility of all coaches of Liverpool FC and not the players. I picked them and said 'come and help us in this moment' and they did, 2-2, go home, next game.

It was not as good as they can do but good enough for a draw."

And Klopp admits he will send out the kids again for the replay on January 20.He said: "Of course it's difficult. We have two other games against Arsenal and Man United and then the replay is after that. 

If the situation doesn't change we will play the same team or a little bit different with other young players.

Bandar Judi Online TangKasneT  ~   "I can't change it. So we have to try now to give the intensity to different players. We have to try it in the FA Cup and accept what happens.

"We had more games than some other teams because we're still in the Capital One Cup, we played the Europa League. And the main problems we have is because our centre-halves are injured at this moment.

We tried to get a line-up together under time pressure. We trained together yesterday, then on the morning of the match for 40 minutes we tried to create a common plan - it was not too good but not toobad.

"Their second goal was something like a miracle that the ball went in and then in an atmosphere like this and with legs getting tired....

"But we were here to go through to the next round, it wasn't 100 per cent- but it was 50 per cent - so now we have another game at Anfield. It is what it is - but I cannot believe we have another game."

Exeter had led through an early Tom Nicholls opener before Liverpool teenager Jerome Sinclair swiftly equalised.

Exeter boss Paul Tisdale admitted: "I didn't know all of their players but they were wearing Liverpool shirts, they had been signed by Liverpool and they means they must be good footballers.

"Of course a replay will be good for the club but I am coming away disappointed that we didn't win because we had enough chances."

According to the referee's report, the former Liverpool man waited in the tunnel for the Espanyol squad, shouting: "I'm waiting for you, come here, you're a waste of space".

Referee Martinez Munuera included the incident in his post-match report after dishing out eight yellow cards and two reds to the visitors, who lost their heads in the heavy defeat.

Munuera's report confirmed that Pape Diop was dismissed for insulting Suarez's mother, which led to the angry scenes in the tunnel after the game.

“At the end of the game, once in the tunnel, Barça’s No.9, Suarez, Luis, while the Espanyol players were coming up the stairs, waited for them and shouted at them on various occasions," the report reads.

New Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane admits Gareth Bale was "disappointed" to see Rafa Benitez sacked

Kampusbet  ~   " New Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane admits Gareth Bale was "disappointed" to see Rafa Benitez sacked "

Agen SbobeT  ~   Zinedine Zidane has admitted Gareth Bale was "disappointed" to see Rafael Benitez sacked by Real Madrid , but promised him "affection and support" with the Welshman's future in doubt.

Bale was known to have offered private support for Benitez to Madrid president Florentino Perez in recent months, and in a dressing room where the former Spurs winger has few allies he trusted in Benitez's ability to bring the best out of him.

But in spite of Manchester United's long-term interest , which will be revived in the summer, Zidane insisted that Bale is a key player for the club. 

"I understand that he was annoyed with the departure of Benitez because he was an important coach for him," Zidane said.

But he is going to have the same treatment from me as with Rafa.

Bandar Judi Online SbobeT  ~   "He is important for the squad and fundamental for the team. What he has been doing recently is phenomenal.

"I am going to give him all my affection and support so that he plays well."

The World Cup winner was speaking in his first press conference since being named the new head coach of Real Madrid last night.

And, after Benitez was binned for falling out with key figures and playing football deemed too defensive, Zidane, 43, was keen to promise an attacking style.

"The football has always been important, beautiful football, and that’s the line I will be taking.

Attacking, balanced football, and that’s it... That’s the message.

"I was a player here and the important thing is to play football, which is what this club has always been about. Play from the back, quickly into the opposition half of the pitch, keep the possession of the ball. That’s my footballing idea. Fast, attacking."

Bojan Krkic transfer stampede expected as Stoke star has a release clause of just £10m

Kampusbet  ~   " Bojan Krkic transfer stampede expected as Stoke star has a release clause of just £10m "

 

 

Agen TangKasneT  ~   Stoke could lose Bojan Krkic for £10million this month.

The elegant playmaker has a buy-out clause in his contract that leaves him up for grabs to any interested parties.

The 25-year-old forward has been in sparkling form during the past few weeks and was instrumental in the Potters’ back-to-back triumphs over Manchester United and Everton.

But it has emerged that the graduate from Barcelona’s famed academy could leave the club if any other suitor matches his sale price.

Stoke would be powerless to prevent the forward leaving, should he so wish, after third parties touted him around Premier League clubs this week.

The clause was inserted into the deal that saw Krkic arrive from Barcelona on a four-year deal for just £1.5m 18 months ago.

He was adjusting to life in the Premier League last year but suffered damage to the ligaments in his knee.

Bandar Judi Online TangKasneT  ~   It has taken some time for him to return to action but he has forged a formidable partnership up front alongside Marko Arnautovic and Xherdan Shaqiri.

The 25-year-old has scored five goals so far this season and been working his way towards the kind of form that had him marked down by then-Barca chief Pep Guardiola as the next big thing.

But it appears the release clause was inserted in case his Stoke move came off – and now it appears as though there could be a stampede for his services.

* PORTO’S Giannelli Imbula has come to Stoke’s attention.

The 23-year-old France international midfielder joined the Portuguese giants in the summer from Marseille for over £15million.

But Imbula has not settled in Porto and is looking to leave.
