Hutton can’t believe Paratici at Spurs for one thing

Speaking to Football Insider, BBC Radio 5 Live pundit Alan Hutton has been left in disbelief at something Fabio Paratici has been doing at Tottenham Hotspur.

The Lowdown: Paratici cooking…

It’s safe to say the Paratici era at Spurs is well and truly underway and his first transfer window arguably went smoothly, albeit not exactly mind blowing.

The Italian transfer chief managed to shift plenty of deadwood, freeing up some much-needed salary space, whilst making shrewd signings in promising starlets Bryan Gil and Pape Matar Sarr.

In terms of more senior first-teamers, 2020/2021 Serie A MVP award-winner Cristian Romero comes in as a hopeful solution to Tottenham’s long-time central defensive issues and Pierluigi Gollini adds some steel between the sticks.

Spurs also snapped up exciting full-back Emerson Royal from Barcelona.

Paratici has been a busy man at Spurs, with former Lilywhites defender Hutton in disbelief at something else he has been doing.

The Latest: Hutton can’t believe Paratici habit at Spurs…

Speaking to Football Insider, the BBC Radio 5 Live pundit and ex-Scotland international has been left baffled by his decision to sit in the dug-out with Tottenham players during Premier League matches so far this season.

Both the 49-year-old and fellow club chief Steve Hitchen have been present in the technical area for Spurs’ last two home matches in the English top flight, something which is said to unsettle some Lilywhites players according to The Sun.

Giving his take, Hutton is in full agreement that this practice is ‘strange’.

“That’s a strange one – I’ve never seen that before,” he explained.

“You don’t see Daniel Levy down there sitting next to the manager.

“I know the manager and the director of football have to have a good working relationship, but when it comes to game day and matters on the field – it’s all about the manager and the players.

“I don’t think the director of football has to be anywhere near that.

“He’s done his job with the recruitment; he doesn’t have to be down there.

“If I was sitting there and the director of football was sat next to me – that would feel a little bit strange.”

The Verdict: Unneccessary?

While it is fairly entertaining as a bystander getting to watch the enigmatic Paratici and co in the dugout with Nuno Espirito Santo’s squad, if it makes players uncomfortable, the former Juventus transfer guru should return upstairs.

The last thing Nuno needs as he aims to nurture Tottenham’s steady momentum is needless disruption, especially from the club’s managing director of all people.

All for Lahore to lose

Will Chennai Superstars eliminate the Lahore Badshahs from the tournament? © ICL
The Big PictureThe 36th and final game of the league stage is no dead-rubber; it should be a keen contest between two of the ICL’s top-performing teams. Chennai Superstars need a win to finish at the top of the table. For Lahore Badshahs, a win will guarantee them a spot in the semi-finals, but a big loss could mean an early exit for one of the pre-tournament favourites.Lahore are currently tied on eight points with Dhaka Warriors, and Chandigarh Lions could join them if they win their encounter against Ahmedabad Rockets – which is the first of the two games on Sunday. But Lahore have the net run-rate in their favour at the moment, and could choose for damage control in case the match goes out of grasp, to ensure their net run-rate doesn’t slip below any of the other two contenders. In their last game, a must-win contest, they stepped it up against Dhaka, but Chennai should be a much tougher opposition: they have won five games out of seven so far, and they don’t rely heavily on just a few players; it’s teamwork that’s got them to the semi-finals.Where they rankChennai are virtually assured of the second spot, and a win will move them up to No. 1. It’s Lahore, in fourth place, who must do the running in order to avoid slipping out of the semi-final positions.Form guide (last five matches, most recent first)Chennai – LWWWL
Lahore – WWLWWStats Mohammad Yousuf started off his ICL stint with a bang, hitting three fours off the first three balls he faced. Continuing in the same vein for a bigger score would have silenced the critics on his Twenty20 abilities, but his four-ball 12 puts on right on top on the batsmen with the highest strike-rate in this tournament.Ian Harvey’s strike-rate of 184.21 isn’t far behind Yousuf, but with 105 runs in five innings, it’s been a less-than-average tournament with the bat for the leading run-getter in the ICL – Harvey has 665 at an average of 31.66.Imran Nazir has 13 sixes in the tournament. Can he get six more on Sunday to overtake Alok Kapali as the leading six-hitter?Players to watchAfter missing their first three games, Hemang Badani has performed splendidly for Chennai. He scored two fifties in four games, and will want to score one more to put his team on top of the table.Saqlain Mushtaq made the doosra popular the world over. He has now come up with another variation, the : at the point of release, his palm faces towards midwicket instead of cover, which would be the normal position when bowling the conventional offbreak and doosra to a right-hand batsman. He then rolls his fingers over the seam, and the delivery works more like a topspinner. Batsmen will surely be checking out videos to figure this one out.Quotes”I have done well with the bat but I am not fully satisfied with my overall performance. I feel I am way below my own benchmark and working hard to get there.”
“The team sets targets in every area of the game and then each player identifies his role in it. All of us work hard and we are lucky to have experienced players in our side. We do not concentrating on just winning matches but executing the job assigned to us. Most importantly, what I feel is that we have done well in executing our plans.”

Ryan Finnigan can be Southampton’s next JWP

Ryan Finnigan is getting rave reviews in the Southampton academy, and if he continues to impress, he could even prove to be the Saints’ next James Ward-Prowse.

Southampton gained a reputation for establishing young talents such as Gareth Bale, Theo Walcott, Luke Shaw and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain in the past, whilst Ward-Prowse has come through the academy and become the captain of the first team.

However he and Jack Stephens, are really the only current examples of regular players to start their careers with Southampton’s academy before moving into the first team, with the Saints opting to aggressively target youngsters from other clubs in this summer’s transfer window.

The likes of Alexandre Jankewitz and Michael Obafemi, who were arguably two of the brightest young talents at St Mary’s, both left on permanent deals this summer, so there is arguably a shortage of homegrown academy players who are close to breaking into the first team at Southampton.

Finnigan could well prove to be an exception, with the 17-year-old seemingly set for a big future with the Saints’ first team.

The Athletic’s Dan Sheldon sang his praises on the Total Saints podcast recently, saying: “You speak to people within the club, they do generally rave about him.

“They think, of all the academy players kind of coming through at the moment, he’s the one that stands out the most.”

Ralph Hasenhuttl also spoke about Finnigan and fellow youngster Oludare Olufunwa after they appeared in a pre-season friendly against Swansea City, saying: “Very good, I must say they are getting stronger every day and when we are working together, it’s good for them to be with the first team.

“It’s good for them to learn quick and always a fantastic opportunity for the young lads to be part of the game.”

As a central midfielder who is making waves in the Southampton academy, there are clear similarities between Finnigan and Ward-Prowse.

[freshpress-quiz id=“594431”]

If he can prove to be even half as good as Ward-Prowse has been at Southampton, with the England international contributing 34 goals and 42 assists in 326 appearances for the first team so far in his career, then Finnigan will surely prove to be a big hit with the St Mary’s faithful in the future.

In other news… Southampton could’ve signed Hasenhuttl’s ideal number 6 with bargain £10.3m swoop

Com dossiê da briga no Uruguai, Verdão irá à Conmebol sexta que vem

MatériaMais Notícias

A Conmebol marcou para a próxima sexta-feira uma audiência em sua sede, localizada em Assunção, no Paraguai, para ouvir os argumentos do Palmeiras sobre os incidentes do jogo contra o Peñarol, no Uruguai, em abril. A informação foi publicada inicialmente pelo Uol.

Os advogados do Verdão tentam reduzir a pena aplicada pelo Tribunal Disciplinar da Conmebol ao clube (três jogos como visitante na Libertadores sem a sua torcida, além de multa de 80 mil dólares). A suspensão de Felipe Melo, que era de seis partidas, caiu para três nesta sexta-feira.

O clube está confiante. O Palmeiras preparou um dossiê, com DVDs contendo imagens do jogo, depoimentos de quem estava no estádio Campeón del Siglo e reportagens publicadas por meios de comunicação, e acredita que este material evidencia que os brasileiros foram vítimas de uma emboscada, tanto em campo quanto na arquibancada. Esse conteúdo já foi enviado ao Comitê de Apelações da Conmebol e será utilizado na reunião presencial.

Nas imagens captadas pelo próprio Palmeiras, e enviadas à Conmebol, é possível ver que o atacante Willian recebe um soco de Villalva ainda antes do apito final. O Verdão quer saber por que este jogador não recebeu nenhuma punição.Matías Mier, Lucas Hernández e Nahitan Nández foram os únicos atletas uruguaios punidos, todos com cinco partidas de gancho.

A pena aplicada ao Peñarol foi mais branda do que a aplicada ao Palmeiras: um jogo em casa com portões fechados e 150 mil dólares de multa. O clube cumpriu o gancho contra o Jorge Wilstermann, na última rodada da fase de grupos, mas não houve muito efeito prático porque os uruguaios já nem tinha chances de classificação.

O Palmeiras espera uma definição do Tribunal de Apelações antes do jogo de ida das oitavas de final, contra o Barcelona de Guayaquil, no Equador, que acontecerá em 5 de julho.

The storms which have ravaged England in recent days have again caused the rivers surrounding Worcestershire’s home at New Road to break their banks and flood the ground. It means that there is almost no chance of the county’s remaining two home matches being staged at the venue.New Road was unusable for the remainder of the summer after severe flooding in June last year, although it was back in service at the start of 2008 thanks to extensive fund raising and tremendous efforts by the groundstaff. However, in spite of an insurance pay-out of £300,000 and an ECB grant of £75,000, the club made a pre-tax loss of £693,211 as it was estimated that the clear-up and other costs totalled close to £1 million.As a contingency, a deal was signed with Kidderminster CC to use their facilities if there was a recurrence of the 2007 flooding.The county will make an announcement tomorrow when they are expected to confirm that Kidderminster will host their last two games, both against Middlesex, in the Pro40 League next Sunday and County Championship Division Two on September 17.
