Spurs struck gold selling "piano" who’d be worth more than Maddison in 2024

da leao: Losing James Maddison to injury for the final stretch of the campaign could be detrimental to Tottenham Hotspur's hopes of returning to the Champions League – the England international is that influential.

da brdice: Look at the bleak period throughout November and December, when injuries to Maddison and fellow summer signing Micky van de Ven sent Spurs' season into a spin, with last season's struggles fixed through Ange Postecoglou's appointment and the shrewd recruitment since.

Suffering another issue against Aston Villa earlier in March, Van de Ven missed out last weekend as Tottenham got thumped 3-0 by Fulham at Craven Cottage, underscoring the Dutchman's significance within Postecoglou's entertaining system.

Maddison is just as important, if not more so, and he is indeed the lynchpin for success, vital in bringing Spurs back to that coveted spot in Europe's elite club competition.

James Maddison's season in numbers

When the screech of the final whistle solemnly sounded throughout the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium back in November, with Chelsea 4-1 victors after Spurs suffered two red cards and saw Maddison and Van de Ven trudge off injured, it did seem to be a portent of issues to come.

And it was. Maddison had won the Premier League's Player of the Month award back in August and had been described as one of "the buys of the summer" by The Times' Henry Winter, so sublime was the 27-year-old in his playmaking, commitment, command.

He returned to action in January after a couple of months on the sidelines and while he's not quite returned to those pre-injury levels, the £170k-per-week ace remains the chief creator in Postecoglou's system, also the joint-most valuable centre-midfielder in the squad at £43m (with Pape Sarr), according to CIES Football Observatory's player valuation model.

Remarkably, there's a former Spurs star who was worth just short of double this amount way back when, and that man's Michael Carrick.

How much Spurs could've sold Michael Carrick for in 2024

According to Totally Money, a site specialising in working out how past transfer fees would look in the modern market, Carrick would have been sold for quite the sum if he played today.

The 42-year-old, now manager of Middlesbrough in the Championship, completed 75 appearances for the Lilywhites before completing a £19m move to Manchester United back in July 2006, where he would go on to win a wealth of major honours and retire as one of England's most decorated players.

This was a sizeable sum back in the day, sure, but Totally Money have arrived at the conclusion that the Red Devils legend would have commanded an incredible £84m fee if United had pounced in the same circumstances, just some 18 years in the future.

Manchester United Michael Carrick

Quirkily described as a "piano" by his former teammate Gary Neville for his elegance and deftness alongside some heavy-metal peers, Carrick at his peak would walk into Postecoglou's side and would surely rival Maddison in his effectiveness and influence, albeit in a different regard.

Ultimately, Carrick's transfer value is probably a fair reflection, if seeming somewhat exorbitant at a glance. He was an incredible player and underrated inside the Manchester United system, endowed with a brilliant ball-playing ability.

£15m Spurs hero would be worth more than Maddison if he was sold in 2024

A top talent at Tottenham way back when, this world-class midfielder would eclipse Maddison’s value.

ByAngus Sinclair Mar 21, 2024

Maddison's £43m market value as claimed by CIES is probably not a wholly fair figure, should Spurs be inclined to sell in the future, but he would be unlikely to arrive at Carrick's projected value.

McAndrew's 7 for 11 blows WA away for 66 in five session game

The game that had already seen 20 wickets fall on the opening day raced to a conclusion before tea

AAP09-Feb-2025

Nathan McAndrew took 7 for 11 to demolish Western Australia•Getty Images

Paceman Nathan McAndrew took a remarkable 7 for 11 to lead South Australia to a crushing six-wicket Sheffield Shield win over defending champions Western Australia at the WACA Ground.A whopping 20 wickets fell on the opening day on Saturday, with WA skittled for 120 before SA were dismissed for 124. There was even more carnage on Sunday, with Western Australia slumping to 13 for 5 before being rolled for 66 within the space of a session.Related

Bowlers make hay as 20 wickets fall at the WACA

It left South Australia with a meagre victory target of 63, and the visitors eased to the total before tea on day two, with Jason Sangha and opener Conor McInerney leading the way.WA entered the round in fourth spot, and the heavy loss has put a huge dent in their hopes of snaring a fourth consecutive Sheffield Shield crown.Ladder leaders South Australia, with four wins, two draws and a loss from seven matches, are in the box seat to host the Shield final.SA’s first-innings lead of just four runs didn’t seem like much at the time, but WA lost three second-innings wickets before they were able to erase the deficit.WA were 0 for 2 and 0 for 3 as Sam Fanning, Teague Wyllie and Jayden Goodwin all fell in the blink of an eye. Hilton Cartwright was the next to fall when McAndrew pulled off a brilliant, one-handed catch while falling to the ground off his own bowling.And McAndrew had the remarkable figures of 4 for 2 from 3.2 overs when Joel Curtis edged him behind in the seventh over of the innings.WA were 13 for 5 at that point, and in danger of not passing the lowest ever Shield total – the 27 South Australia posted against NSW in Sydney in 1955.Ashton Turner and Keaton Critchell combined for a 39-run stand to at least steer WA away from setting any all-time lows. But it was only a momentary reprieve, with McAndrew and Jordan Buckingham racing through the middle order and tail to ensure WA didn’t even last the session.”Macca’s been one of the best in the country for the last couple of years, and he prides himself on winning us games in positions like that,” SA captain Ben Manenti said. “He’s done it again for us.”WA’s poor Shield display continued a worrying trend this summer. In October, they suffered a collapse of 8 for 1 in a One Day Cup loss to Tasmania that all but ended their hopes of defending their crown in that format.”You go back to lunchtime on day one, at 2 for 72 we thought we’d done a good job to get through that initial period,” WA coach Adam Voges said. “But under the pressure of a South Australian attack, we didn’t have answers. That’s really frustrating from a batting sense. We’re a young batting group, we’re going to have good and bad days. But really disappointing.”

تشيلسي يحسم موقفه من ضم كوندي في انتقالات يناير

كشفت تقارير صحفية عن تطورات اهتمام تشيلسي الإنجليزي بالتعاقد مع لاعب برشلونة جول كوندي في السوق الشتوي.

وأفادت أنباء قبل أيام أن تشيلسي يرغب في تعزيز صفوفه بانتقالات يناير، ويريد التعاقد مع كوندي من برشلونة.

وزعمت الصحافة الإنجليزية أن تشيلسي يقدم عرضًا لبرشلونة بقيمة 60 مليون يورو لإقناع برشلونة ببيع كوندي.

وبحسب صحيفة “سبورت” الإسبانية، تشيلسي يرى أن كوندي ليس في وضع يسمح له بمغادرة برشلونة أثناء افتتاح السوق الشتوية، ولم يعد اللاعب ضمن اهتمامات الفريق اللندني.

وذكر التقرير أن النادي الإنجليزي سيتجه إلى بدائل جديدة وإذا أمكن تكون صفقة أرخص على المستوى المادي.

ويتجه تشيلسي للتعاقد مع مايكل كايود لاعب فيورنتينا الإيطالي والبالغ من العمر 20 عامًا، ولن يتجاوز سعره المطلوب 25 مليون يورو.

Kraigg Brathwaite defends Jason Holder's decision to bowl first again

No team has ever won at Emirates Old Trafford after choosing to bowl first

Matt Roller24-Jul-2020

Jason Holder is all smiles after winning the toss•Getty Images

Kraigg Brathwaite has defended his captain Jason Holder’s decision to bowl first for the second match in a row, despite England putting themselves into a commanding position in the deciding Test in Manchester.No team has ever won at Emirates Old Trafford after choosing to bowl first, and the team that batted first in the last four Tests at the ground went on to win. With that in mind, and after his call to bowl first last week backfired, it was a surprise that Holder again opted to field on Friday, not least with offspinner Rahkeem Cornwall included ahead of seamer Alzarri Joseph.ALSO READ: Pope, Buttler stand shores up England effortHolder said at the toss that there was “a little moisture in the surface” and that the overhead conditions had played a part in his decision. The wicket of Dom Sibley, trapped lbw by Kemar Roach, in the first over of the day seemed to vindicate his call, but with England closing on 258 for 4 thanks to a unbroken 136-run stand between Ollie Pope and Jos Buttler, there are valid questions for Holder to answer.”It’s been a pretty even day,” said Brathwaite in a virtual press conference, defending Holder’s decision. “We had a plan to bowl first. There was moisture in the wicket, and we thought as a team we wanted to utilise it.”They got a good partnership, but I don’t think we’re out of it, to be honest. Once we come out tomorrow and control the scoring rate, build that pressure, then I think we can get some wickets in the morning.”With both Saturday and Monday’s play in doubt due to rain, West Indies may find themselves needing to bat well only once in order to save the game, but Brathwaite denied that the forecast had an influence in their plan to bowl first, and refuted the idea that Holder was playing it safe.”I wouldn’t say that: we saw some moisture in the pitch,” he said. “Our plan was to get wickets early and put them under pressure. I wouldn’t say it was because of the weather as such.”The inclusion of Cornwall in particular seemed to be at odds with the decision to bowl first. West Indies had relied on Roston Chase as their main spinner throughout the series, bowling tight lines and keeping things tight, but instead picked Cornwall, a more attacking bowler, but denied him the chance to bowl last on a wearing surface.And while he took an excellent reaction catch in the slips and bowled some dangerous balls, Cornwall struggled to tie England down, leaking 3.38 runs per over. “He was unfortunate not to get a wicket, but I thought he had a decent start,” was Brathwaite’s unenthusiastic analysis.Brathwaite suggested in particular that early wickets once play is able to resume would be crucial, with England leaving out Zak Crawley and changing the balance of their side in order to compensate for Ben Stokes’ quad muscle injury, which has left him playing as a specialist batsman.That means Chris Woakes, who has averaged just 12.6 with the bat since his hundred against India at Lord’s in 2018, finds himself due to bat at No. 7, perhaps giving West Indies encouragement that one wicket could bring a flurry.”Early wickets will be crucial with the new ball, the harder ball,” Brathwaite said. “But [even] if we don’t get early ones, if we stay in it, there’s one less specialist batsman – Woakes can still bat – but two or three wickets could happen.”We’ve got to be very disciplined when we start out in the first session. The harder ball on the surface is always good [so] I think the new ball’s crucial for us. Once we build that pressure with some tight overs, we’ll get some wickets early.”

Site inglês coloca Kaio Jorge, do Santos, na mira de Arsenal e Chelsea

da betway: O site inglês The Sun destacou o atacante Kaio Jorge, do Santos, e colocou o jogador na mira de Chelsea, Arsenal e Inter de Milão. Ele foi comparado pela mídia britânica a Cristiano Ronaldo. Edu Gaspar, diretor técnico do Arsenal seria fã do atacante português e gostaria de ter Kaio Jorge no clube. O site ainda colocou Chelsea e Inter de Milão interessados no atacante.

As categorias de base do Santos também foram destacadas, o The Sun coloca como “academia santista” e relembra craques como Neymar, Gabriel Barbosa e Rodrygo que também foram revelados pelo Peixe. Kaio Jorge estreou no profissional com 16 anos e é o sexto garoto mais jovem a vestir a camisa do Alvinegro.

Os ingleses ainda ressaltaram que o pai do atacante também jogava futebol, a importância do futsal na carreira de Kaio Jorge e sua passagem na Seleção Brasileira de base.Nas últimas semanas, o camisa 9 do Santos também ganhou elogios de Neymar que acredita no sucesso do Menino da Vila na Europa.

O atacante santista de apenas 19 anos tem contrato com o clube até dezembro de 2021, mas a renovação está emperrada. Uma das situações que precisam ser resolvidas entre as partes é a multa rescisória do jogador, que atualmente é de 50 milhões de euros (cerca de R$ 325,4 milhões). A ideia do staff do jogador é que esse valor não aumente. Por isso, a negociação tende a andar nos próximos dias, mas ainda está longe de um acordo.

Apesar disso, o jogador se mantém tranquilo e continua rendendo em campo. Kaio Jorge está no Santos desde o Sub-11 e tem muita gratidão pelo clube. Ele entende que não deveria deixar o Santos de graça. Os empresários do jogadores tinham uma péssima relação com a diretoria anterior pelo não pagamento de um empréstimo de R$ 8 milhões. Campeão e chuteira de bronze do Mundial Sub-17 de 2019, o atacante foi artilheiro do Santos na última edição da Copa Libertadores.

O que o Flamengo pode esperar da LDU, invicta na temporada e no retrovisor do clube na Libertadores

da aviator aposta: O Flamengo não terá só a altitude de2.734 metros como fator intimidador para o jogo desta terça-feira, diante da LDU, a partir das 21h30, e válido pela terceira rodada do Grupo G da Libertadores. Para defender a sua liderança isolada, o Rubro-Negro terá que encarar uma equipe embalada pela invencibilidade na temporada: em 12 partidas, venceu cinco e empatou sete vezes.

da premier bet: Caso o placar seja o mais frequente para a Liga de Quito na temporada, um empate, o Flamengo se mantém na liderança. Já se os comandados de Rogério Ceni forem derrotados, os dePablo Repetto assumirão o topo do grupo, já que a LDU está com quatro pontos, dois a menos em relação aos brasileiros.

Aliás, Repetto, desde 2017 na LDU, sublinhou o favoritismo do Fla ao projetar o próximo compromisso do único clube equatoriano campeão da Libertadores:

-Como uma equipe grande que somos, estamos prontos para pelear com um dos grandes candidatos a conquistar a Copa (Libertadores) nesta terça-feira.

A LDU vem de vitória na Libertadores. Na última rodada, contra o Vélez Sarsfield, cujo triunfo por 3 a 1 ocorreu após dois gols no segundo tempo,Pablo Repetto alterou o time do4-5-1 para o 3-5-2 depois do intervalo e viu o desempenho melhorar consideravelmente.

Para enfrentar o Flamengo, o técnico uruguaio não quis revelar se repetirá uma linha defensiva com cinco jogadores. A possibilidade, com prioridade para a saída veloz em contragolpes, é considerável.

RETROSPECTO E DESTAQUES

O palco do duelo desta terça será o Estádio Rodrigo Paz Delgado, conhecido como “Casa Blanca”, em Quito. Será apenas a segunda peleja entre as equipes no local, que não reserva boas lembranças para o Fla, derrotado para a LDU emabril de 2019, pela fase de grupos do torneio, por 2 a 1 – na ocasião, Bruno Henrique marcou para o time então comandado por Abel Braga.

Entre os destaques da Liga estão o volante Jordy Alcivar (que chegou a ser especulado no Internacional), o passador meia-atacante Billy Arce e o atacante Cristian Borja, ex-Flamengo e autor do gol da LDU na derrota por 3 a 1 diante do próprio Rubro-Negro, em 2019, no Maracanã – na história, as equipes só se enfrentaram nas duas vezes citadas acima, ambas há duas temporadas.

Em tempo: por falar em retrospecto, o mais recente do Fla em altitude não é nada animador: goleada sofrida para o Independente Del Valle, por 5 a 0, em 2020, quando Domènec Torrent ainda comandava a equipe. Alerta ligado para não sucumbir novamente às consequências traiçoeiras perto das nuvens.

MAIS SOBRE A LDU

– Estádio: Casa Blanca, em Quito (cerca de 2700 metros de altitude).

Dom Sibley vows to be 'a bit more proactive' after spin slowdowns

England opener “extremely disappointed” with Manchester dismissal to Yasir Shah

Matt Roller11-Aug-2020There is every chance that Dom Sibley will finish his first home summer as a Test cricketer as England’s highest run-scorer. As things stand, he is second only to Ben Stokes in the charts, who will miss the final two Tests due to family reasons; since his debut in November, only Stokes and Joe Root have been more prolific.With that in mind, it is something of a surprise to hear his assessment of his time in the side so far. “I do feel, sitting here now, that I’ve got a lot more to give,” he said on Tuesday. “I’ve only sort of shown myself to a certain level at this stage, and I do feel like I’ve let opportunities slip to score maybe four or five hundreds. That might be sounding greedy and it might sound unrealistic but that’s the way I think.”That mentality has served Sibley well to date. After piling on the runs in county cricket last season – he scored 300 runs and faced 1000 more balls than anyone else in Division One of the County Championship – he has bedded into his spot at the top of the order after an unconvincing start, with hundreds against South Africa and West Indies and an average a shade below 40.ALSO READ: Buttler clicks, but have England found the key to unlocking his potential?And yet there have been several occasions – most notably in the two Manchester Tests against West Indies – when Sibley’s presence at the crease has provoked groans and mutters. His strike rate across the course of his career is a sedate 36.57 – 2.19 runs per over – and his caution against spin in particular has been a point of frustration for those hoping England will accelerate.”I am trying to learn and improve as much as possible,” he said. “That’s the thing that I probably need to do a bit better, especially against spin, is to try and rotate the strike as much as possible; be a bit more proactive. I’ve been working really hard on that.” He has picked the brains of Graham Thorpe, England’s assistant coach and himself a strong player of spin, as well as asking some of his team-mates for advice.But in the first Test against Pakistan, his desire to show a more proactive side to his game against spin proved his undoing in the second innings. Yasir Shah had joked to England’s batsmen on the fourth day that conditions in Manchester suited him even better than those in Dubai. And after padding away two overs of legspin from round the wicket, Sibley was suckered into a drive when Yasir came back over, slashing to slip and muttering in frustration to himself as he dragged himself off.

“I was obviously extremely disappointed with the way I got out in that second innings because I had worked really hard, [and had] been really disciplined against him,” he said. “I did feel like I wanted to be that person, not out at the end when we chased that down. But it wasn’t to be and you try and learn from those mistakes.”It’s a fine balance, I suppose, because I want to be out there and put such a high price on my wicket and do a good job for the team. But at the same time, trying to find that balance between [that and] having the bravery to play the shots that I feel like I know I have in the locker.”It’s just a case of having the bravery and confidence to do that in the Test arena when the scrutiny is higher and you might get judged in how you get out.”Sibley was “extremely disappointed with his dismissal to Yasir Shah•Pool/AFP via Getty Images

In particular, Sibley has realised when batting with Root – who averages 63.38 against spin over the course of his career, rattling along at a strike rate of 59.50 in the process – that there is work to be done. And while he is happy with his record against spin in county cricket, he is aware that with more attention on him, it might not be so easy to drop anchor.”I feel confident in playing spin and I have done. When you get to this level, and suddenly loads of eyes are on you, and you may not be scoring as quickly as other people in the team, you get judged.”I have always felt very confident and scored runs against good bowlers in country cricket. But when you get to international cricket, with the spotlight being on you, you get those things pointed out a bit more. It’s made me think that I need to work a bit harder.”When you are batting with someone like Rooty at the other end who is making playing spin look pretty easy, it makes me think that I need to try and take my game against spin to the next level.”With as many as seven Tests in Asia in the pipeline this winter – two in Sri Lanka, and five in India or UAE – there is a sense that this biggest challenge is still to come.
