When it comes to Celtic’s recruitment, things are never achieved the easy way.

You only need to look at the Hoops’ pursuit for a new manager a few months ago when they negotiated with Eddie Howe for two months before settling on Ange Postecoglou.

What’s the word?

Celtic’s transfer window is also turning out to be a topsy-turvy affair with plenty of twists and turns.

Last week it was revealed that Celtic were interested in signing Rubin Kazan defender Carl Starfelt.

They’d made a bid to secure his services but seemingly pulled the plug on a deal due to the uncertainty surrounding Kristoffer Ajer’s future.

However, the Bhoys have had another change of heart and have moved again to wrap up a deal.

That’s according to Fabrizio Romano who claims there will be an announcement soon regarding his arrival at Parkhead.

He tweeted: “Celtic have reached an agreement with Rubin Kazan to sign Carl Starfelt, done deal and here we go. €5m as final fee – negotiations completed. Next target: Brandon Soppy. Celtic official announcement soon for Starfelt, personal terms agreed as advanced one week ago.”

This would be the club’s third signing after Liam Shaw and Osaze Urhoghide.

Ideal signing

Whether or not an agreement on this deal means that Celtic will finalise Ajer’s exit remains to be seen but either way, Starfelt would be a fabulous addition for the Hoops.

He fits Postecoglou’s play style and is an ideal fit for the type of profile the club should be looking at.

Last summer they welcomed Shane Duffy to the club on loan but he evidently didn’t fit what Celtic were trying to achieve.

A colossus in the air, the Irishman’s distribution was far from perfect.

Starfelt, on the other hand, prides himself on transitioning the ball out of the defence. He doesn’t carry the ball forward in a way that Ajer would but his passing is superb.

In fact, no player in the Russian top-flight had a higher success rate than the Sweden international’s 91.4% last season.

With that in mind, supporters should be excited by the fact that Celtic have changed their mind again on the player.

Distributing the ball out from the back will be key under Postecoglou, especially after his open mic training session showed that he wants the team to play one or two-touch football.

Starfelt is perfect for that and at the age of 26, has experience at European and international level on his side.

With Celtic’s European qualification campaign rapidly approaching, getting this deal sorted as quickly as possible will be imperative to settle the nerves of supporters.

AND in other news, Ange can finally axe Christie at Celtic by unleashing “first-class” rarely-seen 19 y/o…

O sorteio realizado pela CBF definiu nesta sexta-feira que o Fluminense enfrentará o Goiás na quarta fase da Copa do Brasil. O adversário não traz boas lembranças ao torcedor tricolor, que viu o time ser eliminado pelo rival em 2013, na Copa do Brasil, e em 2014, na Copa Sul-Americana. Diego Cavalieri, presente nos dois confrontos citados, prevê um duelo equilibrado e dificuldades em Goiânia, mas vê a equipe de Abel Braga preparada para avançar às oitavas de final da competição.

– Estamos (preparados), sem dúvidas. Se trata de um adversário difícil como todos foram até agora, principalmente o Criciúma, que nos impôs muitas dificuldades no último jogo aqui. Sabemos que se trata de uma competição diferente, são jogos eliminatórios – afirmou o camisa 12 nesta sexta-feira, antes de seguir:

– Sabemos da dificuldade de jogar em Goiás, mas estamos nos preparando, nos fortalecendo em treinos fortes. Estamos em busca de performances de alto nível e estamos preparados. Com todo respeito ao rival, queremos buscar as vitórias e ir avançando na Copa do Brasil – finalizou o goleiro do Fluminense.

Os jogos da quarta fase da Copa do Brasil entre Fluminense e Goiás devem acontecer nas semanas dos dias 12 e 19 de abril. A primeira partida do duelo será em Goiânia e o Tricolor das Laranjeiras decide o confronto no Rio de Janeiro.

Many Aston Villa fans have been delighted on Twitter after the club posted images of Emiliano Buendia participating in pre-season training.

The Argentine was in sparkling form in helping Norwich City to the Championship title last season, registering 32 goal contributions in 41 appearances with 15 goals and 17 assists [Transfermarkt].

Constantly threatening defences with his creative intuition, the 24-year-old averaged an astonishing rate of 3.1 key passes per match across the campaign [WhoScored].

After joining the Villains for a club record transfer fee on a five-year-deal from the Canaries [Sky Sports], he is expected to have a big impact this season upon his arrival in the Midlands.

Having been snapped in his training gear as his new club prepare for the upcoming Premier League season, many Aston Villa fans took to Twitter to rejoice at seeing Buendia in their colours.

Replying to the club’s official Twitter account, here is what some supporters had to say upon seeing the Argentine – who one fan dubbed a “baller” – in training:

Para tentar escapar do rebaixamento para a Série A2 do Campeonato Paulista, o São Bernardo precisa de uma vitória simples sobre o São Paulo nesta quarta-feira, dentro de casa. A missão do Bernô não é fácil, além de enfrentar um dos grandes do campeonato, tem a obrigação de fazer os três pontos se não quiser depender de outros resultados, como torcer contra São Bento e Osasco Audax.

O lateral Eduardo, titular nas 11 partidas do Tigre no Paulistão, atuando tanto na direita, quanto na esquerda, promete entrega total dele e de seus companheiros naquele que pode ser o jogo do ano para o time.

– É o jogo da vida da nossa equipe. Sabemos das dificuldades que vamos enfrentar do primeiro ao último minuto de partida, mas estamos confiantes em conquistar um grande resultado. Não vai faltar entrega do elenco para conquistar o objetivo, que é deixar o São Bernardo na elite do futebol paulista – disse.

Ainda de acordo com o atleta, o momento é de esquecer tudo que passou durante a disputa para deixar o Bernô na Série A1.

“Não fizemos o campeonato que gostaríamos, mas agora é hora de esquecer tudo que passou e colocar o coração na ponta da chuteira para alcançarmos o objetivo de deixar o clube na Série A1. Vamos dar a vida para que isso seja possível – finalizou.

São Bernardo e São Paulo entram em campo nesta quarta-feira, às 21h45, no Estádio 1º Maio, pela última rodada da fase de grupos do Paulistão-2017.

O atacante Jorge Henrique não é mais jogador do Vasco. O seu contrato ia até dezembro, mas como estava fora dos planos do Cruz-Maltino, o clube entrou em um acordo com o jogador para a rescisão do vínculo. Ele estava treinando separado do grupo vascaíno desde a pré-temporada.

Jorge Henrique chegou ao Vasco em agosto de 2015 para reforçar o time, que estava mal no Brasileirão. Ao todo, ele disputou 70 jogos com a camisa cruz-maltino, sendo campeão carioca em 2016. Na temporada passada, o atacante foi titular em boa parte dos jogos e era um dos homens de confiança do técnico Jorginho. No entanto, muito contestado por parte da torcida, foi perdendo espaço no fim do ano.

Um das características de Jorge Henrique no Cruz-Maltino era atuar como coringa. Com Jorginho, ele jogou de lateral, volante e até como zagueiro alguns minutos da final da Taça Guanabara de 2016, contra o Fluminense.

O atacante marcou quatro gols em sua passagem pelo Vasco, dois deles importantes. O seu primeiro foi justamento contra o Flamengo, na partida de ida das oitavas de final da Copa do Brasil. O Cruz-Maltino acabou vencendo por 1 a 0 e na volta garantiu a vaga após empatar por 1 a 1. Já o outro foi contra o Botafogo, o da vitória vascaína no primeiro jogo da final do Carioca de 2016. Na decisão, o Vasco também ficou no empate em 1 a 1 e ficou com o título.

أكد فيرجيل فان دايك مدافع فريق ليفربول جاهزيته لمواجهة ريال مدريد يوم السبت المقبل في نهائي دوري أبطال أوروبا.

وتستضيف العاصمة الفرنسية، باريس، مباراة الفريقين في نهائي النسخة الحالية من دوري أبطال أوروبا 2021/22.

وكان فان دايك قد تعرض لإصابة في أوتار الركبة يوم السبت قبل الماضي، في نهائي كأس الاتحاد الإنجليزي أمام تشيلسي حيث اضطر المدرب يورجن كلوب إلى استبداله قبل الأشواط الإضافية.

وبعد ذلك تواجد فان دايك في آخر مباراة لـ ليفربول في الدوري الإنجليزي، يوم الأحد الماضي أمام ولفرهامبتون، ولكنه ظل على دكة البدلاء ولم يشارك.

وقال فان دايك في تصريحات نشرتها صحيفة “ذا صن” الإنجليزية: “أنا بخير، بكل تأكيد، لا توجد مشاكل، أنا متحمس جدًا ليوم السبت بالطبع”.

ولدى سؤاله عما إذا كان فترة الراحة في الأيام الماضية قد ساعدته، رد الهولندي: “نعم، جسديًا، بالتأكيد”.

وواصل: “جسمي يستمتع بقليل من الراحة بعد لعب العديد من المباريات، الكثير من اللحظات المتوترة، وأعتقد أن تلقي ضربة طفيفة في نهائي كأس الاتحاد الإنجليزي ربما كان علامة على أن جسدي بحاجة إلى الراحة”.

وأردف فان دايك في تصريحاته: “أشعر أنني بحالة جيدة تمامًا وأتطلع الآن إلى أمسية خاصة، آمل ذلك”.

Lots of Wolves fans have been left lauding a transfer update involving Joaquin Correa.

As per Il Messaggero, the Molineux faithful are one of a number of teams in the Premier League interested in signing the Lazio ace, along with Tottenham Hotspur, Everton, Arsenal and Leicester City.

They are reportedly already in talks with his agent over a potential move to the Midlands, and Lazio are looking to move him on in order to raise funds for incomings.

Correa has come off the back of a very impressive 2020/21 season, scoring no fewer than 11 goals and making a further six assists in 38 games in total over all competitions, including in the UEFA Champions League (Transfermarkt).

The Argentina international is just about to hit his peak years at 26, and would certainly be a big coup for the Wanderers should they be able to fend off all of the competition for his signature.

Wolves fans on Correa transfer update

These WWFC supporters lauded the transfer update as it was shared on Twitter, with one even going as far as to claim that he would be a ‘perfect’ signing:

Netherlands captain Roland Lefebvre admitted his side had been "hammered" byPakistan, but defended his side’s participation in the tournament, arguingthat the only way to improve was to play against the best

Charlie Austin21-Sep-2002Netherlands captain Roland Lefebvre admitted his side had been "hammered" byPakistan, but defended his side’s participation in the tournament, arguingthat the only way to improve was to play against the best.Pakistan needed just 16.2 overs to reach the Netherlands 137 run target asImran Nazir scored 59 from 40 balls and Shahid Afridi blitzed 55 from only18, the second fastest one-day fifty."Ya, we got hammered in the end," admitted Lefebvre. "I didn’t expect it toend that quickly. I thought they might play some shots but I hoped we mightbe able to contain them a bit a longer. It was disappointing, but they havegot some very clean hitters of the ball who really got going."However, he tried to look on the bright side, particularly their stubbornbatting which had seem them bat out the full 50 overs, Lefebvre leading theway with an unbeaten 32."I was pleased that we batted the full fifty overs, which was an improvementon our earlier game – we have to look for the positives and that was one,"he said. "Hopefully, next time, we will also score some more runs."He defended his decision to bat first: "The wicket was flat and I justthought we had to be positive and try to get 180 or so on the board. Thebatsmen have to take some responsibility by batting first. As players youcan run but you can’t hide."Although Netherlands lost both their games by massive margins, Lefebvreargued that it was essential for his side to play as much competitivecricket as possible."There is a big gap between the major and minor cricket nations but you don’t solve the problem by not playing each other," he said. "The minor nationshave to compete at this level to improve. There is a lot of hard work to bedone."Pakistan captain Waqar Younis was happy with the performance of the toporder, claiming that the attitude of the players was better than during theSri Lanka game."I thought the body language was a lot better in this game than the lastmonth or so and the boys were more keyed up although the opposition wasdefinitely weaker," he said."I am glad that we have started to play better. This may not be a big winbut it’s a positive with so much serious cricket coming against Australiaand South Africa."Pakistan will now remain in Sri Lanka for the forthcoming Test seriesagainst Australia, which is to be played in Colombo and Sharjah. Pakistanwill be without key players, including Inzamann-ul-Haq and Yousuf Youhanawho need surgery for long-term injuries, and Wasim Akram and Saeed Anwar whoare keen to take a break.Waqar appeared supportive of their decision to rest: "We don’t want to burnout these old heads in the team. We have a lot of serious cricket coming up,especially in South Africa and we want to be fresh."
