A ‘substantial’ new kit deal for Liverpool would allow even more money to be generated for new signings, according to Leeds United employee and club ambassador and Noel Whelan.

The Lowdown: New kit deal coming?

The Reds’ kit is currently sponsored by Standard Chartered, with their deal running out at the end of the next season and bringing them around £40million a year at the moment.

Recent reports have claimed that Liverpool are on the lookout for an even bigger deal, however – one that could earn them as much as £50 million every 12 months.

With Jurgen Klopp’s men flying on the pitch, it would be a surprise if the Reds weren’t without suitors, as they look to continue battling for Premier League titles.

The Latest: Whelan makes claim

Speaking to Football Insider, reacting to recent news that Liverpool are currently in talks with multiple companies over a possible big money off-field agreement worth around £50million-per-year, Whelan got behind the idea of a new kit sponsor.

He claims that it’s a ‘no-brainer’ for companies to be attached to the Anfield club and Klopp’s side will ‘for sure’ never be short of options.

“Look, they’re a very marketable football club. One that many, many businesses would want to be attached to.

“Liverpool is a club that pretty much sells itself. It’s like Man United, Man City these days, Chelsea. Those big four sell themselves to companies because they want to be attached to that brand.

“They’re never going to be without a sponsor, that’s for sure, because of how successful they are. Because of the history behind the club, because of the demand worldwide support that they have.

“It’s a no brainer for a company to be attached and have a logo on the Liverpool shirt. It’s one of the biggest selling shirts in the world, not just in the country.

“That is going to be something substantial to the football club that’s going to help bring players in and give them the finances to push further and stay right there at the top of world football.”

The Verdict: Reds in a great place

There was a time when a £50million-a-year deal felt like a pipe dream for Liverpool but Klopp has transformed the club since arriving as manager back in October 2015.

The German has turned them into one of Europe’s best teams on current form, creating a team spirit and togetherness that should appeal to any possible sponsor.

It could be a case of Liverpool taking their pick from those interested in sponsoring their kit from 2023 onwards, such is their position of strength these days.

A domineering all-round performance from Shakib Al Hasan helped Bangladesh secure a historic series win in Mirpur, their first against a top-flight opposition

Shakib Al Hasan’s fifth ODI century lifted Bangladesh to 241 in the fourth ODI against New Zealand•Associated Press

A dominant all-round performance from Shakib Al Hasan helped Bangladesh secure a historic series win in Mirpur, their first against a top-flight opposition. Shakib’s fifth ODI century rescued the home team from the depths of 44 for 3 and lifted them to a formidable 241, a target that proved nine runs too many for New Zealand, who now trail 0-3 in the series, with one game to go. Shakib then struck with the ball and, despite a valiant maiden hundred from Kane Williamson who battled through injury during the latter part of his innings, slammed the door on the visitors with three wickets to lead Bangladesh to a famous victory.New Zealand’s top order had not fired as a unit so far in the tour, and their performance in today’s must-win encounter was no different. BJ Watling was trapped in front for 6 by Abdur Razzak and Brendon McCullum soon followed him to the dressing room, despite having looked good for a characteristically frenetic knock with a couple of early boundaries down the ground. Ross Taylor, who had been the pick of New Zealand’s batsmen in the series, then compounded matters for his team by picking out the deep square-leg fielder in a style of dismissal that has become an all too familiar sight for his fans back home.Shakib was quick to have spinners operating at both ends and the ploy paid dividends once more. Aaron Redmond succumbed to a straighter one from Shakib in the 17th over, before Daniel Vettori perished while attempting to increase the run rate, leaving the visitors reeling at 80 for 5.Williamson and Grant Elliott, however, were on hand to provide some much needed stability to the New Zealand run-chase, and accumulated intelligently through the middle period to give the visitors some hope of reaching their target. Williamson was especially impressive in his approach, as he confidently negotiated the spinners who had wreaked so much havoc on his teammates throughout the series, picking up the singles and twos with relative ease and even hoisting Shakib over midwicket for consecutive sixes. Elliott, too, played his part in the recovery, feeding the strike to the well-set youngster at the other end, but fell during the batting Powerplay in the 37th over. Attempting to sweep Shakib, he managed only to top-edge it to Razzak who took an excellent catch, running backwards from square leg.Kyle Mills came and went, trying to hit out, further denting New Zealand’s hopes of a successful chase, and a hamstring injury that crippled Williamson soon after didn’t help matters either. Nathan McCullum arrived at the crease with 70 to get from 10 overs but despite some lusty blows, was not able to get his side close to the asking rate. Williamson reached his hundred in the 48th over, having batted through immense discomfort for a substantial part of his innings, but when Nathan McCullum and Daryl Tuffey fell off successive deliveries chasing an unlikely 20 runs in the last 11 deliveries, New Zealand’s hopes fell squarely on Williamson’s shoulders. Unfortunately for the visitors, the task proved too much for the young man.The challenge was before New Zealand when Shakib’s expertly crafted 106 off 113 deliveries had set up a competitive total for Bangladesh on a slow, turning pitch. He came to the crease with his team struggling, but combined well with Imrul Kayes to take the hosts out of immediate danger. He then posted half-century stands with Mushfiqur Rahim and Mahmudullah as Bangladesh recovered well. Shakib scored at around a run a ball throughout his innings, piercing the off-side field with surgical precision early on, but relying more on deft dabs and sweeps as the innings wore on in the energy-sapping Mirpur heat. The New Zealand slow bowlers were unable to cause him any trouble.Shakib’s departure with the score on 216 sparked a lower-order collapse, however, as the New Zealand seamers came back in the batting Powerplay to restrict the hosts, who at one stage threatened a total in excess of 260. Hamish Bennett, the debutant fast bowler, was especially impressive in the late overs, varying his pace and length to pick up a couple of wickets to go with his top order scalp and finish with figures of 3 for 44. Bangladesh were all out in the 49th over, but thanks to an excellent captain’s knock they had scored enough to secure a famous win and spark scenes of euphoric celebration from the Mirpur crowd.

While it is often difficult to predict which signings will and won’t work out, recruiting an injury prone individual more often than not tends to end in disaster for the buying party.

That has seemingly proved the case for Nottingham Forest and defender Carl Jenkinson, with the former Arsenal man having endured a torrid time of it at the City Ground, prior to his loan move away from the club in January.

Signed for £2m from the Gunners in the summer of 2019, the Englishman has since made just 15 appearances in all competitions, with both loss of form and fitness issues having perhaps predictably plagued his time at the club.

During his time at the Emirates, the Harlow-born full-back had failed to ever really nail down a regular starting berth, spending much of his eight-year stint out on loan at the likes of West Ham United and Birmingham City, as well as on the treatment table.

After making just 41 Premier League appearances for the north Londoners, he was eventually snapped up by Forest just under three years ago, albeit while never looking like a convincing option as he made just eight league appearances in his debut season.

The form of current Aston Villa and Poland star Matty Cash – as well as an ankle issue sustained just a month into his Forest career – ensured a tricky start to life in Nottingham, with the 6 foot 1 full-back having never recovered from that early setback.

He made just three more league outings the following campaign, with the arrival of Chris Hughton in the dugout bringing a halt to his already sporadic role, with the former Brighton man informing the defender that he could move on at the end of 2020/21 season.

Despite sticking it out with the second-tier side, the appointment of Steve Cooper was the final nail in the coffin, with the 30-year-old having not featured for the club since an FA Cup fourth-round tie against Swansea City in January 2021.

After a year out in the footballing wilderness, the £450k-rated man secured a surprise temporary move to Australian outfit Melbourne City over the winter, where he has since netted twice in 17 league outings.

In truth, Cooper and co will have been happy to offload some of the player’s hefty £27k-per-week wages, with Jenkinson having cost the club a whopping £5m – including his initial transfer fee – since his move from Arsenal, rinsing the club for a total of 128 weeks.

Thankfully, with just a few months remaining on his existing deal, the one-time Charlton Athletic man will likely be moving on this summer, bringing an end to what’s been a tumultuous and costly last few years for all concerned.

Pakistan’s one-day captain Shahid Afridi and coach Waqar Younis have lauded the ICC’s decision to give a clean chit to last month’s ODI against England at The Oval

ESPNcricinfo staff13-Oct-2010

Pakistan’s limited-overs captain Shahid Afridi and coach Waqar Younis have welcomed the ICC’s decision to give a clean chit to last month’s ODI against England at The Oval. The ICC had launched an investigation into the match after receiving information from the newspaper before the game began alleging that bookies were aware of certain scoring patterns during the game. On Wednesday, they said their investigation was complete and “there was no compelling evidence to suspect individual players or support staff” of wrongdoing.”I am very happy after hearing the news,” Afridi, who led Pakistan to victory in that match, told AFP. “I had and will always have full confidence in my team that they will not do anything like that. I have told the players to always remain focused on cricket and forget anything else, and that’s what they were doing in the one-day series in England.”Afridi’s views were echoed by Waqar, who also hoped for a quick end to the controversies surrounding the England tour. Prior to the the ODI series, a expose had alleged that three players from the Pakistan side – Salman Butt, Mohammad Amir and Mohammad Asif – were involved in spot-fixing during the Lord’s Test. The trio has been suspended by the ICC pending investigations.”It’s [the ruling on The Oval ODI] very good news for Pakistan cricket,” Waqar told AFP. “I sincerely hope that all spot-fixing cases are solved soon because they have tarnished Pakistan’s reputation.”Taffazul Rizvi, legal adviser to the Pakistan Cricket Board, also welcomed the ruling, and added that any decision on following legal recourse against the British newspapers would wait for the outcome of the spot-fixing inquiry.

Ninguém em São Januário esconde que a Libertadores é o grande desejo do Vasco para 2018. 20 anos depois da conquista, em 98, o clube volta a competição sonhando com uma campanha histórica e, quem sabe, um novo título. Nesta terça-feira, o Cruz-Maltino estreia diante da Universidad (CHI), às 21h30, em São Januário. No grupo da morte, o Vasco ainda terá pela frente Racing (ARG) e Cruzeiro. Veja o que espera o Vasco nessa caminhada.

O QUE ESPERAR?

O Vasco entra nesta fase de grupos da Libertadores com um elenco modesto, confiando na mescla juventude e experiência. Os principais nomes do grupo são o goleiro Martin Silva e o jovem atacante Paulinho. Com um time de “operários”, o técnico Zé Ricardo tem o grupo na mão.

E é no comandante que a torcida deposita boa parte da confiança em uma boa campanha do Vasco. Desde que Zé Ricardo assumiu, a equipe passou a ter boa organização de jogo e conseguiu bons resultados.

Mesmo com diversas mudanças na equipe titular e a troca de diretoria, a equipe fez bons jogos na pré-Libertadores, até perder por 4 a 0 para o Jorge Wilstermann, na Bolívia.

PARA SE PREOCUPAR

O grupo do Vasco é considerado o da morte. O Cruz-Maltino terá pela frente três adversários tradicionais e muito fortes: Cruzeiro, Universidad (CHI) e Racing (ARG). Dentro de campo, a bola aérea defensiva vem preocupando torcedores e comissão técnica.

Outro aspecto que incomoda é a falta de experiência de muitos jogadores do elenco, que estão atuando na competição pela primeira vez. Além disso, as muitas trocas fazem com que Zé ainda venha buscando a melhor formação ideal.

A ESCALAÇÃO

Zé Ricardo já fez alguns testes nesta temporada e ainda não tem uma formação definida. A mais utilizada foi a 4-2-3-1, com Andrés Rios mais adiantado, sendo alimentado por Evander, Paulinho e Wagner.

Nos últimos jogos, chegou a testar uma formação com três zagueiros, liberando os laterais Yago Pikachu e Henrique, além de ganhar força defensiva.

TABELA DE JOGOS

13/3 – Vasco x La U – São Januário
4/4 – Cruzeiro x Vasco – Mineirão
19/4 – Racing x Vasco – Presidente Perón
26/4 – Vasco x Racing – São Januário
2/5 – Vasco x Cruzeiro – São Januário
22/5 – La U x Vasco – Estádio Nacional (Santiago)

OS RIVAIS
RACING (ARG)
​Campeão da Libertadores em 1967, o Racing faz uma campanha regular no Campeonato Argentino. O time de Avellaneda ocupa a quinta posição, com 28 pontos. A diretoria foi ao mercado e reforçou bastante o seu elenco para a Libertadores. Chegaram os zagueiros Donatti (ex-Flamengo) e Sigali, o volante Domíngues, campeão da Sul-Americana pelo Independente, e os meias Neri Cardozo e Centurión (ex-São Paulo).

Porém, o jogador mais bem falado e destacado pela torcida e imprensa é o jovem Lautaro Martinez. A joia estreou em 2015, aos 17 anos, e já tem 16 gols em 37 jogos. As atuações chamaram atenção do técnico da seleção, Jorge Sampaoli, que foi ao estádio El Cilindro observar o jogador.

O time do técnico Diego Cocca joga ofensivamente, tentando aproveitar o talento dos meias e a velocidade dos laterias nas subidas do ataque. A bola parada também é um dos trunfos do time argentino.

CRUZEIRO

A expectativa da diretoria é muito grande em relação à Libertadores, sobretudo pelo investimento bastante elevado.”

UNIVERSIDAD (CHI)
Apesar de ter 21 participações na Libertadores, o time chileno nunca venceu a competição. A equipe do técnico Ángel Guillermo Hoyos faz uma ótima campanha no Campeonato Chileno. São três vitórias e uma derrota em quatro jogos, ocupando a vice-colocação.

A La U conta com jogadores experientes e de seleção, como o lateral Beaseujour, líder de assistências do time, com três passes para gol; o volante Gonzalo Jara e o meia David Pizarro, jogador com vasta experiência europeia, que jogou em clubes como Manchester City, Internazionale e Roma.

No comando de ataque, destaque para Pinilla, artilheiro do time na temporada com três gols. Apesar de um ataque veloz, a defesa da La U foi um dos pontos negativos do time chileno na temporada passada.

James Hopes led from the front with bat and ball to deliver first-innings points to Queensland, but the Test selectors will be more interested in Ryan Harris’ five-wicket haul in the lead-up to the Ashes

James Hopes led from the front with bat and ball to deliver first-innings points to Queensland, but the Test selectors will be more interested in Ryan Harris’ five-wicket haul in the lead-up to the Ashes. Hopes picked up 3 for 40 and then top scored with 73 as the Bulls pushed well past Tasmania’s disappointing 196 on the second day at Bellerive Oval.By the close of play, Queensland had an advantage of 58 runs, having reached 9 for 254 with Scott Walter on 6 and Cameron Boyce yet to score. That they had a lead at all was thanks to Hopes, the captain, and Chris Hartley, who came together at a precarious 5 for 88 and proceeded to move past Tasmania’s total without further loss.Hartley departed for 63, caught behind off the fast bowler Adam Maher, who ended the day with a very good collection of 3 for 53. Hopes was caught off the bowling of Ben Hilfenhaus, who picked up 3 for 82 on a grassy Hobart pitch that might not be dissimilar from the surface Hilfenhaus will be presented with on the opening morning of the Gabba Test in a fortnight.Barring injury, Hilfenhaus is a certain starter for the Ashes opener, but the make-up of the rest of Australia’s bowling group is not yet clear. The full-time selector Greg Chappell is not keen on an all-pace attack, which is a blow – though not a knockout one – for the hopes of Harris, who has not played a Test since the tour of New Zealand in March.Harris would enjoy the seam-friendly conditions at his home ground in Brisbane, but his best chance of a Test call-up could be if Doug Bollinger struggles to recover from his stomach problem in time. Peter Siddle is also hoping to be in the mix, but Harris has taken the early advantage by collecting 5 for 72 in his first Sheffield Shield match back from a knee injury.Harris used the Bellerive bounce to have Mark Cosgrove caught in the gully for 50, and he also had Tim Paine caught, to add to his three wickets from the first day. Xavier Doherty provided some lower-order resistance with 34, but Tasmania could not manage to survive until lunch.

Newcastle United are sixth in the Premier League form table since Eddie Howe was appointed, as revealed by Newcastle World. 

The lowdown

Newcastle sacked Steve Bruce in October after a 3-2 defeat against Tottenham Hotspur left them 19th in the table on a mere three points from their first eight matches.

However, under his replacement Eddie Howe, the Magpies find themselves up in ninth place, with their 3-0 victory at Norwich City on Saturday extending their winning streak to four matches.

[web_stories_embed url=”https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/web-stories/newcastle-news-5/” title=”Newcastle news!” poster=”” width=”360″ height=”600″ align=”none”]

Howe has taken 38 points from his 23 Premier League matches in charge, with 11 wins, five draws and seven defeats.

That’s more than Manchester United, who have only managed to collect 37 points in the same period, and only one point fewer than current Champions League holders Chelsea.

The latest

Jordan Cronin, the journalist who penned the Newcastle World article, also shared it on Twitter, where he gave his take on the findings of the Howe era form table.

He tweeted: “Crazy that Newcastle would be sitting above Manchester United, no matter how pathetic Ralf Rangnick’s side are currently.”

The verdict

Critics might argue that Newcastle’s success under Howe is largely down to their record-breaking £90m January spend, but that’s not entirely fair.

For instance, £12m addition Kieran Trippier has only been able to play four matches after sustaining a foot injury; while £25m striker Chris Wood, their second-most expensive winter signing behind Bruno Guimaraes, has only scored one non-penalty goal in his 14 appearances.

For the most part, Howe has simply extracted more from the players at his disposal than his predecessor Bruce was able to, and for that the incumbent Newcastle manager deserves great credit.

A décima-quarta rodada do Campeonato Catarinense terá seu pontapé inicial neste sábado e contará com dois clássicos decisivos para a classificação do Estadual: Joinville x Chapecoense e Figueirense x Avaí.

O JEC recebe a Chape na noite do sábado, às 19h, na Arena Joinville, em jogo que põe frente a frente o líder do campeonato com o quarto colocado. Enquanto a Chape lidera com 27 pontos, o JEC soma apenas 17, o que praticamente deixa o time fora da disputa do Estadual.

A missão não é fácil para o Joinville: em todos os confrontos contra times grandes catarinenses, o JEC não venceu um sequer. De olho na disputa da Série C do Brasileiro, o time do Joinville quer vencer a Chape para provar que pode encarar a terceira divisão nacional.

– Existe uma situação que é evoluir. Temos aí três meses com o grupo. Para uma equipe que quer ter filosofia, ideia, modelo de jogo, ainda é muito pouco. Estamos aprendendo e tem o crescimento. Temos que terminar com uma campanha boa e definir com certeza o que vai precisar para a Série C. Ver carências e virtudes – afirmou o treinadorRogério Zimmermann.

Já a Chapecoense busca a vitória para se manter na liderança, com uma vantagem de apenas um ponto para o vice-líder Figueirense. A temporada da Chape no Estadual é impecável e o lateral Vinicius Freitas aposta na manutenção do nível da equipe para levar o título:

-O grupo todo deu 100%. Esse grupo tem muita qualidade. Se continuar com esse espírito podemos conquistar muitas coisas esse ano.

No domingo, mais um clássico: Figueirense e Avaí fazem o dérbi de Florianópolis às 17h, no Orlando Scarpelli. Para o Furacão, apenas a vitória interessa, já que o time perdeu a liderança do campeonato para a Chapecoense. Milton Cruz, técnico alvinegro, pede calma e lembra que ainda há chances para retomar o topo da tabela:

-Ainda estamos brigando pela classificação. A Chapecoense passou, mas temos jogo importante em casa. Estamos na frente e não tem porque desesperar. Há uma sequência grande, no segundo turno fica mais complicado, pela briga para não cair e a briga para subir. É a mesma dificuldade.

Vindo de derrota contra o Hercílio Luz, o Avaí ainda sonha com o título. Para isso, o Leão da Ilha precisa vencer o clássico com o Figueira, mas o técnico Claudinei Oliveira reconhece a dificuldade do jogo:

-Podemos ganhar e aproximar, o Figueirense tem um time muito consistente, encorpado, estão pontuando todas as rodadas. Temos que buscar a vitória, a derrota seria ruim. Empate ainda tem chances, mas a derrota fica muito distante da briga pelo título.
