Newcastle United sporting director Paul Mitchell is looking to make a massive appointment at Newcastle United, in a potential boost for Eddie Howe.
Mitchell waking waves at Newcastle
A major change took place at St James’ Park during the summer, with Mitchell coming in from Monaco as arguably one of the most highly thought of sporting directors in the game. The Englishman came in at Newcastle as Dan Ashworth’s replacement, as the club looked to fill the void left by a significant figure at St James’ Park, as he moved on to Manchester United instead.
Newcastle manager Eddie Howe
Since then, Mitchell has certainly made waves with the Magpies, with his strained relationship with Eddie Howe proving to be a big talking, and his bullish comments about Newcastle’s approach to transfers standing out: “Is it fit for purpose? Not last winter gone, the winter before that.
“Is it fit for purpose in the modern game? Because other clubs that have adopted a different approach over time, with more intelligence, more data-informed than we are, actually prospered in this window. That’s where we have to grow to be now.”
It is very clear that the 43-year-old is looking to make his presence felt at Newcastle, and now another update has emerged to further suggest that that is the case.
Mitchell eyeing big appointment at Newcastle
According to The Athletic, Mitchell wants to appoint a new senior recruitment expert at Newcastle, as he looks to turn the club into an “elite” operation in all facets on and off the pitch to close the gap on the biggest teams in the country. The report says that the former Monaco transfer guru has “held extensive meetings with department heads”, with interviews already held regarding the new appointment and data use to be a big focus in the new scouting set up.
This is an impressive update when it comes to the job Mitchell is doing, even though he has arguably become a divisive figure already because of the nature of his relationship with Howe, with some supporters naturally defensive of the manager. Newcastle must have everyone pulling in the same direction, whether it be the manager, sporting director or anyone to do with the recruitment team, and it looks as though he is doing his best to make that happen.
The success of Manchester City and Liverpool over the past decade or so has been partly down to both clubs being such well-oiled machines, with Michael Edwards an almost legendary sporting director at Anfield, masterminding the signings of Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane, among others, and copying the Moneyball approach made famous in baseball.
Newcastle now plotting move to sign "confident" prodigy after scouting trip
He’s one for the future…

If Newcastle can make a similarly revolutionary appointment, acquiring the services of a master in the role, it could have a huge impact on their transfer business. Ensuring that Howe has a good rapport with the individual is also essential, however, and Mitchell must be aware of that.
A contratação de um zagueiro está no topo da lista de prioridades do Botafogo no mercado. Com a possível negociação de Kanu para o Corinthians e a saída de Gilvan, o setor está enfraquecido. A diretoria tem nomes em mira: Luiz Otávio, do Bahia, e Oliveira, do Atlético-GO, agradam.

+ Gilvan não fica no Botafogo em 2022: saiba as contratações, saídas e sondagens do clube
Os dois nomes entram em uma realidade que o Botafogo entende que é viável para a temporada 2022: jogadores que não possuem salários astronômicos e provaram, seja na última temporada ou não, que podem agregar a equipe.
O dinheiro, para variar, é um entrave o Botafogo, que ainda não anunciou nenhum reforço para 2022. O Alvinegro procurou o Atlético-GO para sondar a situação de Oliveira, mas o Dragão nem sequer permitiu que as conversas avançassem. O zagueiro tem contrato até dezembro de 2022, e o Rubro-Negro só o negociaria agora mediante uma transferência.
Com Luiz Otávio, a situação é diferente. Como o Bahia foi rebaixado para a Série B, a parte financeira pode pesar – há um considerável corte no orçamento, algo que o Alvinegro viveu na pele em 2021. O Glorioso tem interesse no atleta e espera que o Tricolor facilite as negociações com o defensor, que também tem contrato até dezembro de 2022.
O nome de Dedé, livre no mercado desde que deixou o Cruzeiro, é outro ventilado no Estádio Nilton Santos para reforçar o Botafogo. O zagueiro realizou uma primeira bateria de exames médicos, mas viajou para o México no começo da semana passada com a família. Desde que retornou ao Brasil, nos últimos dias, ainda não teve nenhum tipo de novidade com o Alvinegro.
Nkwe’s disillusionment with the role and differences in opinion with head coach Mark Boucher are said to have contributed to his decision

Enoch Nkwe won’t travel to Sri Lanka for South Africa’s next assignment•Cricket South Africa
Enoch Nkwe has resigned as assistant coach of the South African men’s team despite Cricket South Africa’s (CSA’s) board making what they called “every effort” to retain his services. Nkwe informed the board that he intended to resign at the weekend with the news made public on Monday, when CSA held emergency talks with him to persuade him to stay on. Further dialogue was had on Tuesday, ending with Nkwe stepping down.”It is deeply disappointing to lose someone of Enoch’s calibre at this time, but we fully understand and respect his decision,” Lawson Naidoo, CSA’s chair said. While part of the reason for Nkwe’s stepping down was put down to personal ambitions, CSA also cited “concerns about the functioning and culture of the team environment.”Related

Shamsi reaping the rewards of waiting for his time
ESPNcricinfo has learnt Nkwe’s decision to step down resulted from a disillusionment with the job of assistant coach and differences of opinion with head coach Mark Boucher, but the issues were not related to race. Several sources close to both Nkwe and Boucher confirmed that the pair’s personalities were incompatible and Boucher’s strong presence as a coach left Nkwe feeling sidelined. At the same time, Nkwe also wanted to have less of a role at training sessions and more input into the technical aspects of the game.”The Board will be taking the necessary steps to investigate and address the issues raised by Enoch. We will not be commenting further on this until the process has been completed,” CSA said.Although CSA left the door open for Nkwe’s return at a future stage, it is also unclear whether he will remain part of the succession plan to take over from Boucher after the 2023 World Cup.Sources have also confirmed that Boucher’s position, after he apologised in creating and maintaining an exclusionary team culture during his playing days, remains safe. CSA’s board chair and acting CEO visited the team’s training camp, where they held what sources called “productive” meetings with team management.The support staff for the Sri Lanka tour includes Northerns coach Mandla Mashimbyi, who will accompany Boucher, Justin Ontong (fielding) and Justin Sammons (new batting consultant), but is without regular bowling coach Charl Langeveldt, who cannot travel because of Covid-19 protocols.The South Africa contingent is expected to leave for Sri Lanka on Wednesday, and captain Temba Bavuma will lead a slightly depleted ODI side, without Quinton de Kock (rested), David Miller (injured) and Lungi Ngidi (personal reasons).
The India ODI captain has asked for consistency from openers Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma
Annesha Ghosh21-Sep-20211:34
Mithali Raj: ‘We have a lot to do in terms of our bowling’
Mithali Raj, India’s ODI captain, has called for greater accountability from the opening pair of Smriti Mandhana, especially, and Shafali Verma after the two fell for low scores in India’s nine-wicket loss in the first ODI in Mackay. While a better start – the pair fell in quick succession after adding 31 – might have helped India put up more than the 225 for 8 they managed, better bowling could have made things tough for Australia in their chase. They eventually got to their target in just 41 overs, and Raj was unhappy about the performance of the spinners as well.Related

“The opening partnership – if they can give us a good start, clearly the middle order can take the momentum from there,” Raj told reporters after the match. “But if you lose wickets, you actually have to build an innings in the first ten overs. Smriti [16 in 18 balls] has been on the international circuit for a while, so we would expect some runs from her.”When you know the sort of batting line-up the Australians have, anything closer to 250 is what we were looking at, but losing two wickets, especially batters like Smriti and Shafali [8 in 10 balls], in the powerplay itself, it was important the middle order starts to compensate for that and build a partnership there. And that’s what we did with Yastika [Bhatia, the debutant, who scored a 51-ball 35], but then again, we didn’t get enough partnerships in the lower-middle order.”You always bat according to the situation. Of course, the players need to play shots, but it doesn’t mean you be reckless. We need to now actually have partnerships rather than thinking about fearless cricket. The girls need to get down to developing some partnerships in the middle and that will definitely give them confidence at some point to play fearlessly.”Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma fell in quick succession after putting on 31•Getty Images
Both Mandhana and Verma fell to the 18-year-old quick Darcie Brown after India were asked to bat on a pitch with bounce, pace and carry. The two have opened together in 25 T20Is, but only three times before this in ODIs, adding 23, 56 and 46, all in England in June.The relative inexperience of the 17-year-old Shafali means the team management would like to give her “breathing space”, but Mandhana, who has over 140 India caps, has struggled for consistency in limited-overs cricket since 2020. In nine ODI innings this year, against South Africa at home and in England before the latest outing, Mandhana has only one fifty and seven scores under 30 in a total of 244 runs at an average of 30.50.In a post-match interview with the host broadcaster on Tuesday, Raj made it clear that “when you’re put in to bat, you expect an opening partnership of minimum 50 runs.” Against a well-rounded Australia attack, India had just one 50-plus stand, between Bhatia and Raj, who added 77 for the third wicket, with the captain continuing to play the anchor as she went on to score her fifth straight fifty in the format.”Yastika – she had a very good [preparatory] camp in Bangalore. She was among runs and she continued that even in the practice game, whatever little she scored she was quite impressive and that is why without a doubt we picked her today in place of Harman [Harmanpreet Kaur] because Harman was injured,” Raj said. “The order we sent her [in] she was quite positive out there to score runs.”On her own performance – a 59th ODI fifty but at a sedate scoring rate (she took 12 balls to get off the mark and 92 deliveries to reach her half-century) – Raj said, “It is always in my mind to improve on that [strike rate] aspect. I wouldn’t say I definitely don’t think about it, but it’s not something that crosses my mind when I walk in to bat.”I’ve always felt no matter how many runs I score there’s always some room for improvement. I want to evolve as a player, too. I know I’ve been scoring runs but it isn’t enough for the team to win, so there’s always room for improvement.”As there is on the strike-rotation front. “As far as running between the wickets is concerned, there’s still a lot to be achieved in that aspect,” Raj agreed. “This is not just about the running between the wickets, but overall the batting department needs to work hard because just not running, but even in batting [because] as batters you need to play and score runs.”With just 225 on the board, India needed a lot from the three-pronged spin contingent of Deepti Sharma, Sneh Rana and Poonam Yadav. Given how seamlessly Australia blunted India’s attack, with their top three of Alyssa Healy, Rachael Haynes and Meg Lanning blitzing solid half-centuries and putting on century stands for the first two wickets, Raj admitted that there was a concern.Mithali Raj scored her fifth straight half-century in ODIs, but it was yet another sedate innings•Getty Images
“Yes, we do have a lot to work in terms of our bowling department because predominantly we are spinners, a spin attack, and spinners are getting hit everywhere, so that’s something we need to work on,” she said. “The wicket is good for batters as well as fast bowlers. Having said that, the bowlers need to be a little more tighter in their line and length on a wicket like this, which we did get to see with the Australian fast bowlers but not really with the Indian seamers.”Though Raj said she was unlikely to tinker much with the starting XI, she kept the possibility open for “maybe one or two changes” for the second ODI, on Friday at the same venue.Complimenting the debutants Bhatia, wicketkeeper-batter Richa Ghosh and pacer Meghna Singh for doing “really well”, Raj did hint at a possible promotion to No. 3 for Ghosh.”We definitely are looking into all that,” she said. “But because it is her first game, you also want players to have some confidence in the role they’ve already played; Richa has already been part of the T20I squad and scored runs there at a particular order.”So, when she’s making her debut, you want to give a comfort level to a player get into the same role they’ve played and experienced. That is why she went in the order she did. But, yes, she was very impressive today and, clearly, it does put thoughts in our head that we could promote her up the order.”

Além dos jogadores, comissão técnica, estafe, funcionários e colaboradores que trabalham no Centro de Treinamentos corintiano retomarão os trabalhos, sendo todos submetidos a testes de Covid-19 antes de qualquer coisa. Aqueles que resultarem positivo serão imediatamente encaminhados para as suas residências para cumprirem quarentena.
No caso dos atletas, aqueles que testarem negativo para o novo coronavírus, iniciarão uma bateria de exames e avaliações médicas e depois serão encaminhados para os testes físicos.
A programação do restante da semana ainda não foi divulgada pelo clube corintiano, mas a tendência é que a primeira seja de trabalhos voltados para as partes físicas e fisiológicas. Caso já haja treinamentos com bola, eles certamente ocorrerão entre sexta-feira (14) em diante.
A grande novidade para a reapresentação será o meia Paulinho, único reforço confirmado pelo Corinthians até aqui. O Timão ainda deseja contar com um ‘centroavante de peso’. O sonho corintiano era Cavani, mas este deve ficar apenas no devaneio, pois o uruguaio tende a permanecer no Manchester United. Diego Costa, então, desponta como opção principal.
O sistema defensivo corintiano também deve ser reforçado, com o lateral-esquerdo Bruno Melo estando próximo de fechar. Na zaga, Kanu foi consultado, mas o Botafogo recusou. O Timão também monitora a situação de Felipe, que tem contrato com o Atlético de Madrid, da Espanha, até junho.
Liverpool play football this week—Arne Slot’s Reds return. It is representative of the stability at Anfield, the firmly lodged belief in the club’s ethos, that Richard Hughes and Co held onto their resolve and resisted splurging this summer.
Some might call it unambitious, but FSG will maintain that their thrifty model has borne dividends throughout the Jurgen Klopp era and into the new chapter on Merseyside.
Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool lost to Real Madrid in the 2022 Champions League final.
Federico Chiesa’s £12.5m arrival from Juventus in late August ended fears that the window would drift by without ostensible issues being fixed.
Time for Liverpool to crash through the floorboards? Forget about it. First in the Premier League; two wins from two in the Champions League; emphatically into the fourth round of the Carabao Cup.
So much is owed to Slot, but also to Ryan Gravenberch’s ability to step up to the plate and make the deep-lying midfield position his own. Fabinho, who?
Ryan Gravenberch's start to the season
Let’s cast our minds back to April, shall we? We must do so to ascertain the magnitude of this journey that Gravenberch is taking us on.
We must do so to recognise the astuteness of Liverpool’s transfer strategy, FSG’s nous. Toward the end of the 2023/24 campaign, Turkish media passed that Gravenberch was on Galatasaray’s wishlist; AC Milan had also been reported to be appreciative of the midfielder’s qualities.
Ryan Gravenberch for Liverpool
Last summer, Gravenberch was signed by Klopp for a fee of £34m, ending a mild nightmare at Bayern Munich. Still only 22, he’s emerged from a middling maiden year, starting only 12 times in the Premier League, in Liverpool to reinvent himself as a deep-sitting midfielder.
And what a transition. The Dutchman hasn’t so much stepped as pirouetted into his new home, with a clear identity and job in this ball-focused, control-centric climate at Anfield.

Good things come to those who wait. Liverpool spent last season without an ‘actual’ holding midfielder. Oh sure, Wataru Endo was signed for a shrewd £16m, but the 31-year-old was never going to be a long-term option and has played a marginal part in Slot’s plans.
Gravenberch has bloomed and looks set to stay, one of the most promising midfielders across the face of the game. It makes Liverpool’s decision to cash in on Fabinho when they did all the more impressive.
Why Liverpool sold Fabinho
Fabinho was a stalwart for Klopp’s Liverpool. Heralded for years as the dominant anchor after signing from AS Monaco in a £44m transfer in 2018, he was ever-present throughout the Reds’ modern golden age.
The former Brazil international chalked up 219 appearances for Liverpool across a five-year period before being sold to Al-Ittihad in Saudi Arabia for a reported fee of £40m after a stark decline.
His once immovable steel in defensive midfield had rusted away to resemble something closer to pitted iron at the end, with transfer insider Graeme Bailey scathingly calling him an “old man” during Liverpool’s struggles in 2022/23.
This is harsh, but there’s no escaping Fabinho’s nosedive that year, with Jamie Carragher critical of the Brazilian’s performance, picking him out after an “awful” defeat against newly-promoted Nottingham Forest at the City Ground.
The midfielder was instrumental in winning the Premier League and Champions League, doing the gritty work that allowed Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino to cause chaos in the final third.

Football FanCast's Market Movers series explores the changing landscape of the modern transfer market. How much is your club's star player or biggest flop worth today?
Back in 2019, pundit Gary Neville even claimed that Fabinho was the finest number six in Europe, saying: “I think Fabinho at the moment is the best.
“Because what Fabinho does, actually, he doesn’t sit back in games—these holding midfield players who play horizontally, passes sideways and shift that way when they’re shuttling across. Fabinho plays vertically as well, he goes forward with his passes, he moves forward and steps in and wins the ball back.”
Former Liverpool midfielder Fabinho
It’s only natural that he would start to ebb away from that monstrous level that he performed at for years in Klopp’s system, gegenpressing has its drawbacks, with several players in that industrious midfield appearing sapped and subdued toward the end, batteries depleted.
Though many might feel that Liverpool could have eked out another term’s worth of talent from the South American, his sale was needed to open up a new era on Merseyside. Liverpool won the Carabao Cup and restored their place in the Champions League, and Fabinho was sold for a pretty penny besides.
Fabinho's market value in 24/25
According to Football Transfers’ player-valuing model, Fabinho is worth just £12m at present, suggesting that Liverpool fielded interest in their long-time servant at just the right time.
gabriel-moscardo-fabinho-liverpool-opinion
After all, the £40m recouped from his departure, coupled with the sale of skipper Jordan Henderson for £12m plus add-ons, handed Klopp and Liverpool’s stand-in sporting director Jorg Schmadtke the means to further their midfield rebuild.
Alexis Mac Allister had been signed from Brighton & Hove Albion at the start of the summer transfer window for an eye-catching £35m fee, with Dominik Szoboszlai following soon after, his £60m release clause at RB Leipzig activated. These were patently deals that had been in the pipeline for a while as improvements were made to the malfunctioned engine room.
But Fabinho wasn’t pushed toward the exit, rather, his sale was welcomed once Saudi interest revealed itself – £40m, basically the same figure that was paid for his services way back when, was an offer that the Reds were obliged to accept.
So followed the arrival of Endo, met with derision from rivals after efforts to sign Romeo Lavia and Moises Caicedo well wide of the mark, both headed for the bounties at Chelsea.
Endo has played his part, though, crucial in steadying the ship last term and starring in the Carabao Cup final that Liverpool won… against Chelsea.
Ah, but of course, Gravenberch then arrived at the final stage of the 2023 summer market. Cause and effect play a cardinal role in the success or failure of a football club, and Liverpool have mastered accuracy and implementation over the past decade. Fabinho was sold at just the right time.
Gravenberch is shining. It’s working out just so.

Temba Bavuma is looking forward to play the warm-up games•AFP/Getty Images
Temba Bavuma will have his first “live net” on Friday as he continues his recovery from a broken thumb, sustained in Sri Lanka last month. He expects to pass the fitness test to play in South Africa’s first warm-up match, against Afghanistan on Monday.”My hand is definitely improving by the day,” Bavuma said. “It’s getting stronger and I am getting a lot more comfortable with it. Tomorrow will be the first time I am having a live net, facing bowlers, so I am looking forward to that and that will give me a better indication of how far I’ve progressed. At the moment, everything is still on track. I am looking to play in the warm-up games. I am feeling good.”With teams training under strict biosecure conditions, no external net bowlers are allowed, so Bavuma will have to face one of his own. It’s not yet known who that will be, although it’s likely to be one of the slower pace bowlers, such as Wiaan Mulder, or a spinner like Bjorn Fortuin, rather than one of the out-and-out quicks.Irrespective of who runs in, Bavuma is concerned with using the exercise as a way to understand what he can and cannot do in terms of his grip and ability to hit the ball. “What I am trying to get out of it is to get comfortable with my hand and with what I can do and, I guess, make peace with what I can’t do. I can’t say I am scared or anything like that. It’s hard for me to give any emotions. It’s just for me to get the necessary comfort and also to assess where I am.”Should Bavuma get through that session and the subsequent ones over the next nine days, he hopes to line up alongside Quinton de Kock to open the batting for South Africa at the tournament proper. “My role is quite obvious and clear,” Bavuma said. “I am someone to come in at the top, and if there is an opportunity to come in at No. 3, I will fill in that spot.”That will leave Reeza Hendricks and Aiden Markram contesting for the third spot in the top three, and Bavuma indicated that the middle order is also still to be figured out. “Reeza has batted quite well but from my side, I will be partnering with Quinny and we will see who comes in the middle order.”Getting the balance between steady scorers and big-hitters right will be an urgent consideration for South Africa, who, on the evidence of the IPL, expect conditions to be tough for batting. “As a batter, I’d like to be able to get on a nice wicket where you can hit through the line and throw your hands, but the general trend from looking at the IPL is that we won’t have that luxury as batters,” Bavuma said. “We will have to really graft out there. We will really have to be smart. Scores of 150-160 look like winning scores. As batters, we are going to have to dig deep.”Like Aiden Markram, Bavuma thinks the most difficult conditions will be in Sharjah, where South Africa play two of their five group games. “Looking at the games played in Sharjah, it’s been rather interesting,” Bavuma said. “Wickets have been a bit tougher and guys have had to be smart, think on their feet and adjust accordingly. We don’t know what state the wickets are going to be in. We expect the wickets to be a bit worn out. The biggest thing for us is to try and assess and adapt as quickly as we can on the day.”
