Former Liverpool forward John Aldridge wants his old club to move for Radamel Falcao after offloading Luis Suarez.

The Reds agreed to sell their star man to Barcelona recently in a deal worth £75m.

Although Brendan Rodgers has now overseen major additions over the course of the past few weeks, from the £90m spent a direct replacement for Suarez has not yet been secured.

Loic Remy was dubbed as a man to help fill the void left by the Uruguayan, but his £8.5m switch from QPR to Anfield collapsed following issues surrounding his medical.

A number of targets have been linked with moves to Merseyside, and Aldridge hopes that Rodgers opts for Monaco’s Falcao:

“I thought Remy for £8.5m was a very shrewd buy but it’s fallen through for whatever reason, so Liverpool do need another striker in my opinion should something happen,” he is quoted by the Daily Star.

“Who is out there? Falcao, they’re saying he had a horrendous season last year.

“He was a bit part of the player he was last season. If he can get back to where he was the previous season then he would be one wouldn’t he?”

Falcao only joined Monaco last year from Atletico Madrid in a deal worth around £50m, but he is understood to be open to leaving the Stade Louis II after failing to settle in his new surroundings.

The Colombian missed the back end of last season and the World Cup with injury problems, but is still considered to be one of European football’s most dangerous marksmen.

The transfer window is now done and dusted until January and for some teams, it was far more successful than others. Certain sides completed their business early, signed the players they wanted and generally enjoyed a decent summer. For others, it’s been nothing but months of frustration, ending in a frantic rush to change their fortunes in this particular transfer window.

As per usual, Tottenham spent August the 31st lighting up deadline day with their traditional scramble to beat the deadline. This year, they just failed to sign Portuguese midfielder Joao Moutinho, but will certainly feel happier with their lot than Liverpool fans who look rather short in the striking department. One thing though. Why don’t teams just follow Sir Alex Ferguson’s example and finish their dealings before the season begins? His new signing seems to have bedded in fairly well…We take a look at the 15 real losers of the transfer window this time around.

According to reports in The Guardian, Southampton are considering making a summer move for £20m-rated Swansea City centre-back Alfie Mawson as they look to strengthen their defensive options, and Saints fans have been quick to react to the rumour.

The Guardian says that the south coast outfit, along with Premier League rivals West Ham United and Tottenham Hotspur, are interested in the 24-year-old, who saw his club suffer relegation to the Championship following successive home defeats against Mark Hughes’ men and already-relegated Stoke City.

Signing Mawson for £20m would break the club-record transfer fee that they paid to bring Guido Carrillo to St Mary’s from Monaco during the January transfer window, and he could prove to be a replacement for Maya Yoshida in the long-term with the Japan international recently linked with a summer exit.

Southampton supporters, who were quick to tell Mario Lemina what he needs to do next season following his message to them on Twitter, took to social media to give their thoughts on the link, and while one said “it’s an interesting replacement for Yoshida”, another described him as the “perfect signing”.

Here is just a selection of the Twitter reaction…

During an underwhelming evening in Russia, in a game no team particularly wanted to win, a disjointed performance saw England miss out on qualifying from World Cup Group G in pole position.

That honour instead goes to Belgium, which Roberto Martinez will no doubt accept begrudgingly based on his pre-match comments, after Gareth Southgate made wholesale changes to the starting XI that so easily dispensed of Panama last time out.

Neither side showed much quality until former Manchester United youngster Adnan Januzaj creamed a beautiful curler beyond the reach of Jordan Pickford on the 51st minute.

England attempted to respond during one of the rare instances in which the second-choice forward line of Jamie Vardy and Marcus Rashford managed to combine – the former playing in the latter, only for the Red Devils youngster to have his one-on-one saved by Thibaut Courtois.

Some stand-ins did impress, however. Liverpool teenager Trent Alexander-Arnold gave a good account of himself at right wing-back, creating two scoring chances before a 79th minute substitution, and Tottenham’s Danny Rose remained busy on the opposite flank. Chelsea youngster Ruben Loftus-Cheek, meanwhile, continued to show glimpses of his enormous potential.

Late on, substitute Danny Welbeck attempted to stab home a loose ball from a corner, only for Marouane Fellaini to stretch out one of his impassable legs and divert the effort safely behind. Dries Mertens almost extended Belgium’s lead soon after but unlike Januzaj’s effort, Pickford just about managed to get a glove to it.

All in all though, it was a night that really took the sting out of England’s thrilling start to the World Cup, and the Three Lions now face the daunting challenge of Colombia in the first knockout round on Tuesday.

Yuvraj Singh paid tribute to Sachin Tendulkar, and admitted it would be hard to watch him leave the game

ESPNcricinfo staff11-Oct-2013

Yuvraj Singh: “He’s always guided me on and off the field about the things in my life.”•Associated Press

India batsman Yuvraj Singh hopes to play alongside Sachin Tendulkar one last time, but said that he would definitely go to watch Tendulkar’s 200th Test if he wasn’t in the squad for the home series against West Indies. On the day Tendulkar announced his decision to retire, Yuvraj had made a comeback, making a match-winning 77 off 35 balls in the Twenty20 international against Australia in Rajkot.Yuvraj made his ODI debut in 2000, when Tendulkar’s career was already more than ten-years old, and thanked him for the guidance given throughout his career.”I don’t know if I am going to have the opportunity to play with him, but if I am not playing, I will definitely come and watch,” an emotional Yuvraj said, following the game against Australia. “He never showed that he is the great Sachin Tendulkar. He was always trying to be chirpy with the youngsters, although we were a bit reluctant to go up to him. Personally, he’s always guided me on and off the field about the things in my life, specially the World Cup journey, so it’s been very special. It’s tough for me to see him go.”It’s been amazing to play with him for so many years. He is one of the greatest players to have played the game and I don’t know what to say, there are so many things to say about Sachin. Probably the best Indian cricketer to have ever played, I would say. He was an ambassador of cricket around the world. It’s going to be an emotional time for the whole of India.”Calling Tendulkar a “next-to-impossible” batsman to replace, Yuvraj said he admired many facets of his team-mate’s technique. “Lots of things – the way he hits the ball, the way he is always still. He is technically, I think, the best batsman I have seen in my career. And how he has been smart all these years to know what bowlers are going to bowl at him. He’s always been one or two steps ahead, that’s why he’s been so consistent all these years.”He ended the press conference by saying, “Yuvi is back my friend.” He would hope to be back in time to bat with Tendulkar, for one last time.

Dinesh Chandimal will captain the Sri Lanka A side against New Zealand A in the first unofficial Test, which begins on September 17, with Dimuth Karunaratne to serve as his deputy

Dinesh Chandimal and Dimuth Karunaratne were not part of the preliminary squad for the A tour•ESPNcricinfo Ltd

Dinesh Chandimal will captain the Sri Lanka A side against New Zealand A in the first unofficial Test, which begins on September 17, with Dimuth Karunaratne to serve as his deputy.Neither Chandimal nor Karunaratne were in the preliminary squad for the A tour, but with Sri Lanka’s October tour of Zimbabwe since having been called off, both players will now have some match practice in what shapes to be a three-month break from international cricket.Batsman Kusal Perera and 20-year-old offspinner Tharindu Kaushal are notable exclusions from the squad. Perera had starred in the first-class tournament early in the year, and had been part of Sri Lanka’s limited-overs teams for much of the year, but has since encountered a lean patch.Kaushal had also had a remarkable first-class season – his first – in which he took 50 wickets at 15.20. He had been named in two Sri Lanka Test squads without getting a game, but mediocre returns with the A team in the Caribbean has put him out of favour with the selectors.The first-class tournament’s top scorer, Kaushal Silva, and top wicket-taker, Malinda Pushpakumara, have both been named in the squad, with Kithuruwan Vithanage and Angelo Perera, who have played for Sri Lanka in the last six months, also earning call-ups. Fast bowler Nuwan Pradeep will continue his return from injury with the A team.The first unofficial Test will be played in Pallekele, before the action moves to Dambulla. New Zealand A have been in India, where they lost the ODI series 3-0.Sri Lanka A squad for the first unofficial Test: Dinesh Chandimal (c), Dimuth Karunaratne (vc), Angelo Perera, Kithuruwan Vithanage, Nuwan Pradeep, Kaushal Silva, Malinda Pushpakumara, Vimukthi Perera, Madura Lakmal, Ishan Jayaratne, Ashan Priyanjan, Udara Jayasundara, Sachithra Serasinghe, Chaturanga de Silva, Dilruwan Perera

Alexandre Pato não pode jogar o Campeonato Paulista – e nem teria condições físicas para isso, já que atuou pela última vez em 11 de novembro -, mas fez questão de participar do jogo de ida contra o Palmeiras, neste sábado, pela semifinal.

O novo reforço tricolor foi até o Morumbi no ônibus da delegação, passou pela zona mista junto com todos os demais atletas, inclusive os do Palmeiras, já que as equipes chegaram juntas, participou da reza no vestiário e foi ao gramado para acenar aos torcedores.

Leeds United’s midfield was completely exposed against Norwich City on Saturday evening in the absence of Kalvin Phillips, and he proved to be a big miss.

What’s the word?

Leeds’ 23-year-old defensive midfielder has predominantly operated as a central defender in recent weeks to cover for a handful of absentees amid a seemingly endless injury crisis.

The move into central defence has seen him hone in on the defensive quality he has consistently produced this season, with his goalscoring exploits from last season now representing something of a distant memory.

Indeed, Phil Hay has revealed a small sample of statistical information from Phillips’ form this term and pointed towards his lack of involvement in the final-third as an indicator of how significantly his role has changed, as per Yorkshire Evening Post.

Hay wrote: “Phillips will not automatically cure the problems with Leeds’ finishing – the deepness of his position is shown by the fact that having scored seven times last season, he is averaging less than a shot a game and has produced 12 key passes in total.”

Kalvin Phillips showcasing his adaptability

The arrival of Bielsa has instigated a transformation in the way Phillips operates in midfield. The fact he scored seven times during the 2017/18 season illuminates the level of freedom he had to burst forward in a box-to-box role, but his current manager has forced him to make a big compromise.

Bielsa has typically asked him to operate in a water-carrier role in-front of the defensive unit, connecting the dots from deep while ensuring that the back-four are well prepared to stifle the opposition.

The positional tweak has seen his attacking influence diminish, with his return of 12 key passes averaging at less than 0.5 per game from his 27 appearances this season, as per WhoScored, while the fact he is yet to find the net under the Argentine speaks for itself.

In a sense, Phillips has been forced to compromise on his quality in the final-third to adapt to Bielsa’s demands, but it’s a compromise which has ultimately enhanced his reputation amongst plenty of supporters at Elland Road.

After watching Norwich tear through Leeds’ midfield on Saturday evening, it will be no great surprise if the 23-year-old is recalled to solidify his defensive unit against Middlesbrough.

O confronto entre Náutico e Santa Cruz terá mais um capítulo no ano de 2019 e pela terceira competição diferente, o Campeonato Pernambucano.

Até então, o saldo tem sido mais positivo para o Santa que empatou em 2 a 2 com o rival pelo Nordestão em 2 a 2 além de ter conseguido a vaga na fase seguinte da Copa do Brasil após empate em 0 a 0 no tempo normal e a classificação vindo nas cobranças de pênalti.

Dessa vez, o confronto onde os dois times já estão qualificados as quartas de final vale pela chance de terminar a primeira fase na liderança. Nesse momento, o Timbu tem 18 pontos ganhos na segunda posição enquanto o clube Coral está com 16 unidades logo na sequência da tabela na terceira colocação.

Para que o ganhador desse clássico seja o líder da primeira fase, o Sport não pode superar o Central às 16 h nesse domingo (17).

O Santa Cruz teve uma excelente notícia pensando no novo encontro com seu rival em relação ao atacante Pipico. Isso porque, antes punido com seis jogos pelo TJD pernambucano após expulsão no embate frente ao Petrolina, o clube do Arruda conseguiu efeito suspensivo e o camisa 9 está liberado para atuar.

A mesma empolgação vale para a formação do Náutico em relação aos comandantes do ataque Jorge Henrique e Wallace Pernambucano. Recuperados de contusão, no embate em casa contra o Santa o técnico Márcio Goiano pode optar por utilizá-los desde o princípio.
