Exclusive: Pundit has concern for Palace contract talks with PVA

In an exclusive interview with  Football FanCast, Carlton Palmer has expressed his concern about the relative inaction over a contract extension for Crystal Palace left-back Patrick van Aanholt.

Roy Hodgson has carefully crafted his side over the past four-and-a-half years with limited resources, in no small part thanks to a number of astute signings sanctioned by Steve Parish.

Van Aanholt can count himself among that number – since his arrival in 2017, the 30-year-old has gone on to make 122 appearances for Palace across all competitions, per Transfermarkt.

However, concerns are beginning to mount, with the Dutchman’s contract at Selhurst Park expiring in five months time, which has been heighted by the fact that talks have reportedly broken down between the club and his representatives over a contract extension.

Whilst the emergence of 21-year-old Tyrick Mitchell has also continued to cast doubts about his future at the club, his potential departure would leave Hodgson desperately short of options on the left-hand side of the defence.

Palmer, when speaking to Football FanCast’s Tom Ward, believes Palace may be reluctant to tie the veteran defender down to a long-term deal as he points towards a total shift in transfer policy.

He told FFC:

“Well, a lot of that will depend on wage demands. And you know, they’re looking, I think, more and more now with Parish and the way they’ve got the recruitment set up there.

“They’re trying to get the balance of youth and experience again, and they’re going for younger players, as you’ve seen with the signing of Jean-Philippe Mateta. They’re going for that quality and that youth and that exuberance, and that energy and that pace, and Roy Hodgson’s noted for that.

“If they were going to renew his contract, I think they’d have done it by now. So that tells you everything you need to know.”

Indeed, it’s easy to see why Palace may have opted for a different approach after the emergence of Mitchell, who has burst onto the scene this season, which has attracted interest from local rivals Arsenal.

The Eagles have also been targeting a number of potential replacements should Van Aanholt depart Selhurst Park, with Chelsea’s Marcos Alonso and Marseille’s Jordan Amavi believed to be in the frame.

Hodgson recently admitted he is concerned by the number of Palace players who are out of contract at the end of the season but expects a complete overhaul of his ageing squad in the summer.

NUFC: Ben Jacobs provides update on PIF

In recent comments made on Twitter, Ben Jacobs discussed the latest on Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s 2021-2025 plans for Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, the body that failed with a takeover of Newcastle United last year.

In Jacobs’ tweets, the journalist revealed that the Public Investment Fund Twitter account disabled comments on a video of Mohammed bin Salman unveiling his future plans for PIF due to the replies being ‘flooded with NUFC takeover talk’.

He continued by stating that this was in no way in relation to the potential resurrection of the takeover deal, but more the ‘social team’ of PIF ‘playing it safe to avoid any negative PR’.

And, when questioned by a fan as to why PIF decided to choose now as the time to disable comments, having never seemingly done so previously, Jacobs confirmed that ‘this is a big new phase of their plan’ and that they don’t want to ‘pull attention away from their main message’.

Transfer Tavern Take

With The Sun recently claiming that a ‘peace deal between Saudi Arabia and Qatar’, which was agreed earlier this month, could bring an ‘end to the piracy’ of BeIN Sports in Saudia Arabia, something which could ‘pave the way’ for the takeover deal to go through, the disabling of comments on PIF’s recent video, according to Jabobs, is not something that Newcastle fans should be worried about, it would seem as if there is indeed still the hope of the deal being resurrected at present.

Mark Noble tipped to quit West Ham

David Moyes must have a plan in place to strengthen his midfield in the summer transfer window after Mark Noble was tipped to quit West Ham United at the end of the season.

What’s the word?

While speaking with Football Insider, former Leeds United striker Noel Whelan claimed that the 2020/21 season could be Noble’s last at the London Stadium.

Whelan believes the £4m-rated veteran will still have the fire in his belly to go out and cut it elsewhere, as Noble will not want to see his playing career end on a whimper.

Moyes has awarded Noble starting roles in just three of the Hammers’ 23 Premier League fixtures thus far this term, while handing him a further nine outings from the bench for a total of only 279 minutes.

Ben Johnson (143) and Jesse Lingard (180) are the only outfield players currently at West Ham to have featured in the top-flight less often than Noble this season, but Whelan doubts the 33-year-old is ready to throw in the towel.

“He loves the club, he’s West Ham through and through but I think everyone will understand that if it’s his last year and he’s coming to the back end of his career, he needs to be playing and enjoying it, make the most of it and squeezing every last bit of juice out of the game that he’s got,” said Whelan.

“He doesn’t want to finish just being at West Ham and being a bit-part player, that’s not how people want to end their relationship with a club. I’m sure that he feels he’s got enough left in him to go and play another couple of seasons somewhere and be successful somewhere.

“He’ll still have that desire and appetite for the game, and I think it might be a farewell for him at the end of the season.”

Does Moyes have a Plan-B?

Noble is nearing the end of his current West Ham contract, with his £50,000-per-week terms due to expire in the summer. So, Moyes will need to have a Plan-B in place in case the midfielder decides to leave the London Stadium, to either hang up his boots or wear a jersey that’s not claret and blue next season.

It has been no surprise to see Noble struggle to get on the field for Premier League games this season, with Declan Rice and Tomas Soucek both performing at superb levels in the two deep-lying roles of Moyes’ midfield.

Their efforts have left Noble forced to rely on a drop off in form from Said Benrahma, Pablo Fornals or Manuel Lanzini to earn his three starts in the attacking role, and his chances have only gotten slimmer with the addition of Lingard on loan from Manchester United.

But Moyes cannot simply wave Noble goodbye at the end of the season, as the 33-year-old is currently his only senior depth behind Rice and Soucek, who – along with Aaron Cresswell – are the only Irons players to feature for all 2,070 minutes of regular time in the top-flight this term.

It is vital that Moyes and his recruitment team spend the coming months working with West Ham’s scouts to source a replacement, as well as a striker to fill Sebastien Haller’s void, as he could be despairingly thin of options next season in a campaign that may yet include European football.

Exclusive: Aston Villa “the perfect fit” for Chelsea loanee Ross Barkley

Carlton Palmer, while speaking exclusively to Football FanCast correspondent Tom Ward, has urged Aston Villa owner Wes Edens to sign Chelsea loanee Ross Barkley on a permanent transfer.

Palmer believes Villa Park is “the perfect fit” for the 26-year-old to thrive, having seen the England international net once and assist a goal in six Premier League appearances under Dean Smith since moving to Birmingham on a season-long deal.

Barkley had fallen behind Mason Mount and Mateo Kovacic in Frank Lampard’s pecking order at Stamford Bridge and departed south west London in search of more regular game time ahead of next summer’s postponed Euros.

Barkley’s efforts under Smith have reportedly caught Chelsea’s attention, with multiple claims that the door remains open for the Everton product to return at the end of the term as Lampard has been impressed by both his attitude and form in claret and blue.

Villa would expect to be priced out of the market should they attempt to strike a permanent deal next summer, though Palmer would urge Edens and Sporting Director Johan Lange to at least try and sign the £96,154-per-week maestro.

“I think it’s the perfect fit for him, I really do,” he told Football FanCast. “I’ve always liked Ross Barkley.

“The only thing with Ross is he picks up too many injuries, but he’s a very, very good player, he is a talented player. I think to go to somewhere like Villa where there’s a lot of players around his age, all got something to prove, I think he just fits in nicely in the way the midfield plays with [Jack] Grealish.

“I’m just conscious of the amount of games he plays, he’s got to get that under his belt, where he’s playing. There’s no point coming in and being sensational for five or six games and then missing the next 10 games. He’s got to get 28 games in a season where he’s playing really well.”

Lampard’s decision to sanction Barkley’s loan move has been slammed previously by former Aston Villa forward Paul Merson, who noted in his column for the Daily Star how the Blues had played a ‘dangerous game’ by allowing the midfielder to leave for a club where he would be a ‘superstar’.

Barkley has proven Merson right since, with Smith starting the £19.35m-rated midfielder in all six available Premier League games before being without the 26-year-old for Monday’s defeat at West Ham United through a hamstring injury.

Yet despite failing to feature at the London Stadium, Barkley ranks third among all Villa players for goals scored in the Premier League this term (2), as well as for successful dribbles (12) and shots on target (6), while ranking second only to Grealish (27) for key passes (17), per SofaScore.

His hamstring strain was expected to keep Barkley out of action for two matches, but could make his return at Wolverhampton Wanderers in next week’s Midlands Derby after one game out following Friday’s scheduled encounter with Newcastle United being postponed.

Forget Sancho: Woodward must sanction Man Utd swoop for Leon Bailey

Manchester United need a new right-winger with the club failing to properly replace Alexis Sanchez in the summer, and executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward can make amends in the January transfer window.

What’s the word?

United signed Amad Diallo and Facundo Pellistri on deadline day, but the teenage duo have yet to feature for the first team, with Pellistri starting to find his feet at Carrington and Diallo remaining with Atalanta.

Reports in recent times revealed the Red Devils remain interested in Bayer Leverkusen winger Leon Bailey, who was linked with Old Trafford in the summer.

Premier League rivals Arsenal, Everton and Tottenham are also keen on landing the diminutive 5 ft 8 speed demon.

The 23-year-old has been in prolific form since the start of the season, having supplied seven goals and six assists in 15 appearances, via Transfermarkt.

Get it done, Woodward

Sanchez left the club on a free transfer to join Inter Milan on a three-year deal, but United have struggled heavily on the right flank for a number of years now, as they have been left to pay the price for failing to properly replace Angel di Maria, who was widely considered to be one of the best right-wingers in the world prior to his arrival at Old Trafford.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer made it clear that Jadon Sancho was his top priority in the summer, but Borussia Dortmund remained steadfast in their £100m valuation of the England international.

Woodward may be best served to sanction a move for Bailey as not only would he be a cheaper alternative to the 20-year-old, as he is currently valued at €40m (£36m) via the CIES Football Observatory, but the versatile wide option would also be able to provide competition and cover for Marcus Rashford on the left wing as well.

In nine games in the Bundesliga this season, Bailey has scored two goals and supplied three assists, whilst he is averaging 2.3 shots, 1.6 key passes and 1.6 dribbles per game, via WhoScored. By comparison, even Sancho has failed to score a single goal in the top flight this term, as he averages fewer shots per game, as per WhoScored.

Bayer Leverkusen boss Peter Bosz praised the Jamaican beast for his performances last month, saying: “I see that he gets better with every game – physically, but also in terms of his football.”

Whilst Ronald de Boer once labelled him a “very rare” find due to his lighting quick speed and dynamic attributes.

Klopp may already have his Joe Gomez replacement in Jordan Henderson

Jurgen Klopp’s defensive woes took another turn for the worse recently when it was revealed that Joe Gomez had picked up an injury during international training with England but he may have a ready-made replacement for the former Charlton Athletic man in Jordan Henderson.

It was revealed on Wednesday that Gomez will need to have scans on a potential knee injury that he picked up in training, ahead of England’s fixture against the Republic of Ireland on Thursday (per BBC Sport).

The Reds are already missing first-team regulars Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Fabinho, with the injury-prone Joel Matip currently Liverpool’s only fit senior centre-back other than the inexperienced Sepp Van de Berg and Nathaniel Phillips.

Whilst we have seen the likes of Rhys Williams and Nathaniel Phillips fill in there in recent weeks, it would be a surprise if Klopp trusted one or both of them to become regular starters in his side, while they cope with the loss of Gomez and Van Dijk.

Therefore, we feel that the German manager should consider playing Jordan Henderson as a centre-back for upcoming fixtures, at least until the January transfer window when they will surely be looking to bring in defensive reinforcements.

Whilst the Englishman has made just one appearance as a centre-back in his career thus far, WhoScored lists his strengths as passing and tackling, suggesting that he could fill in as a ball-playing centre-back in Klopp’s side.

You can also be sure with Henderson that he will put 100% effort into every game, no matter which position Klopp asks him to play.

Although the former Sunderland man is perhaps a little short to be a centre-back, standing at 5 foot 10, if he is partnered with Matip in defence, the Cameroonian’s 6 foot 4 frame should help compensate for this.

We already know that Klopp is a huge fan of the 30-year-old, with the German manager full of praise for his captain following Liverpool’s win against Wolves last season, as he said:

“His goal was incredible and that is just another side of his outstanding shape at the moment. He played an unbelievable game again.

“He was really shouting at everyone, keeping them on their toes, but it’s not about the shouting it’s about what you say.

“He only asks for things he expects from himself as well. We couldn’t be in the situation we are without these kinds of characters.” (per FourFourTwo)

Therefore, we feel that Klopp can trust Henderson as a centre-back in his side, as he is clearly a leader in this Liverpool team, and he can feature there either until Fabinho or Gomez return or until the January transfer window when they can bring in a more natural defender for the first-team.

Antes de nova final, Arouca considera Verdão mais maduro na Copa do BR

MatériaMais Notícias

Rivais na decisão do Campeonato Paulista, Palmeiras e Santos vão se reencontrar na final da Copa do Brasil, a partir desta quarta-feira, na Vila Belmiro. Para Arouca, a principal diferença da derrota no Estadual para o atual momento é que o Verdão está mais “maduro”.

-Sabemos da responsabilidade que é. Por detalhes perdemos (no Paulista). A equipe vai mais madura, estamos mais entrosados agora. Antes era início do trabalho e agora estamos no fim da temporada – analisou o camisa 5.

Desde o início do ano, a meta do Verdão era terminar 2015 com uma vaga na Libertadores. Agora a seis pontos do G4 e restando apenas duas rodadas para o fim do Brasileirão, o meio-campista praticamente jogou a tolha no Nacional, e considera ter na Copa do Brasil a grande chance de conseguir o objetivo estipulado no Palmeiras e, de quebra, sagrar-se campeão.

-Sabemos da nossa responsabilidade. Quando chegamos a nossa meta era recuperar a confiança do torcedor e acho que conseguimos isso. No Paulista, perdemos no detalhe. No Brasileiro agora ficou praticamente impossível o G4, e temos a última oportunidade na Copa do Brasil. Passamos por grandes times e temos de valorizar o trabalho. É fechar com chave de ouro. A torcida merece pelo que fez o ano todo, então vamos fazer pelos torcedores e por nós, também. A gente se esforça muito no dia a dia para comemorarmos juntos.

Até o jogo na Vila Belmiro, o Verdão terá apenas mais um treino – o desta segunda foi fechado para a imprensa. O jogo de volta será no dia 2 de dezembro, também quarta, no Allianz Parque. Assim como foi no Estadual, gols fora de casa não servirão como critério de desempate na final.
