Pundit says Liverpool want to sell Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain

Paul Stewart reckons that Liverpool will be looking to sell Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain this summer having failed to live up to expectations at Anfield.

The former Arsenal midfielder has won four trophies during his four years on Merseyside, including both the Champions League and Premier League in consecutive seasons.

However, a serious ACL injury towards the end of his first campaign has seen the £120,000-a-week man kill his chances of making himself a regular in Jurgen Klopp’s team after that.

As a result, the 27-year-old made just Premier League 19 starts across the last three seasons and has already been strongly linked with a move away from Merseyside, with West Ham keen, whilst Borussia Dortmund have also been mentioned as a potential destination for the England midfielder.

Having played 246 minutes in the league last season, it’s obvious that to play more regular first-team football, Oxlade-Chamberlain will likely have to end his four-year spell with the Merseyside club.

And that’s exactly what Stewart exclusively told Football FanCast:

“He never fulfilled his potential that he had at Liverpool, and I think Liverpool will be looking to offload him.”

وأضاف: “ومن الواضح أن هناك جزء من الخوف تسلل لهم، وإذا كنا لعبنا المباراة كما نلعب بحماس آخر ربع ساعة كنا سنعود في النتيجة أمام الوداد”.

وتابع: “العوامل الفنية لها تأثير، لا نريد أن نضحك على الناس، معظم لاعبي الأهلي كانوا دون المستوى”.

وأكمل: “فريق الوداد كان لديهم إصرار ورغبة أكثر من الأهلي، لاعبو الأحمر لم يكونوا في مستواهم وكان هناك أخطاء في التحضير والتماسك داخل الملعب، أخطاء كثيرة جدًا على المستوى الفني والتكتيكي”.

Facade almost drops for Waugh

After a prolonged run drought – his worst in 10 years – Steve Waugh tookenormous satisfaction in proving he wasn’t ready for the scrapheap justyet.

Michael Donaldson21-Oct-2002SHARJAH – For moment it looked like Steve Waugh might lose it.During his press conference after making an unbeaten 103 againstPakistan in the third cricket Test, the Australian skipper looked readyto let some emotion squeeze through his defences.After a prolonged run drought – his worst in 10 years – Waugh tookenormous satisfaction in proving he wasn’t ready for the scrapheap justyet.Following his sacking from the one-day side, he’s been under a hugeamount of pressure as the Test failures mounted over the past year.So when he reached his century he made a show of pointing his bat to theteam area in a gesture of thanks.There was also some acknowledgement to his wife Lynette, who had been inSharjah with their daughter Rosalie for the past week. The pair flew outyesterday before play started.”I just thanked one or two people for their inspiration,” Waugh said.”I don’t want to single out anyone in particular but my wife, when shewas here, said one or two things that just helped me along and a coupleof guys in the side have been excellent.”This side’s got a lot of players who have a lot of depth to them andthey help you out when you’re struggling a bit.”At this point Waugh had to gather himself and there was no mistaking thefact that he was moved by the support he had received.Waugh also gave some insight into how he works – and to an extent howthe whole Australian team functions – when he said too muchencouragement and goodwill can sometimes have the opposite effect on aplayer.”You can feel the other players wanting you to do well but you don’twant too much of that feeling because it can be a bit overwhelming.”In some ways the players have to pull back a little bit just give yousome encouragement, have some words here and there, which some playershave done for me.”As always (inspiration) has to come from within,” Waugh added.”People can tell you as much as they like but if it doesn’t come fromwithin it’s not going to happen.”And it’s typical of Waugh, now that he’s ridden through the tough patch,to regard the past year, with its litany of failures and his axing fromthe one-day side, as a test of character.”You don’t want things to go well all the time – it’s not as satisfyingwhen you come back.”I like a challenge and in some ways you like it not to be smoothsailing all the time, you get complacent then and take it for granted.”For Waugh it didn’t get much better than yesterday.”I’ve always said I haven’t had my best moment in Test cricket butscoring a hundred with a six and the baggy green on top of your head -it doesn’t come much better than that,” he said.These day Waugh rarely bats in his cap and is usually wearing a helmet,but on a placid pitch against a dual spin attack he was wearing hisbeloved but tattered baggy green cap.And he can’t recall having brought up a Test century with a six, whichhe did yesterday as he moved from 83 to 103 with a premeditatedonslaught against legspinner Danish Kaneria, which netted two fours andtwo sixes in one over.Waugh also described his innings as one of his best, coming as it did atthe end of a barren period which he acknowledged had threatened toderail his captaincy.

Rangers midfielder Jones won’t join Ipswich

Ipswich Town won’t be signing Rangers midfielder Jordan Jones, according to a fresh report which emerged on Wednesday evening.

The Lowdown: Jones surplus to requirements

The Gers clinched Scottish Premiership title glory last season, but Jones was elsewhere as Steven Gerrard’s side enjoyed their success.

The 26-year-old joined Sunderland on loan in January, making 20 appearances for the Black Cats and helping them reach the League One playoffs.

A summer exit from Ibrox now looks on the cards for Jones, with Ipswich one of the clubs seen as potential suitors.

The Latest: Ipswich pull out of move

According to The East Anglian Daily Times, however, a move to Portman Road is off after they pulled the plug on a deal taking place.

Ipswich had muscled ahead of Sunderland earlier on Wednesday but the midfielder will now look elsewhere, with the new season getting closer all the time and Rangers beginning the defence of their crown at home to Livingston on Saturday.

The Verdict: Exit best for all parties

Jones has been limited to just 19 appearances for Rangers and it appears as though Gerrard sees no future for him at the club after he was banned for breaching lockdown guidelines last season (BBC).

It would be beneficial for all parties if he moved on and enjoyed a fresh challenge this summer, with the midfielder still having plenty to offer at the right level.

A goal he scored for Sunderland last season was hailed as ‘unbelievable’ by Kevin Phillips, highlighting the quality he possesses on his day.

In other news, some Rangers fans are unhappy with the sale of one player. Find out who it is here.

Haddin in doubt for Twenty20 match

Luke Ronchi could be in line for his Twenty20 international debut as Brad Haddin continues to battle a broken finger

Luke Ronchi could be in line for his Twenty20 international debut as Brad Haddin continues to battle a broken finger. Haddin said he could play the match against West Indies in Barbados on Friday but with a five-game ODI series to follow, he thinks resting for the Twenty20 might be his best option.”I’d be fit to play and if I had to play the T20, I’d obviously like to,” Haddin told . “But I won’t lie to you, having the next eight days to do nothing I reckon would settle the hand right down.”Haddin broke the ring finger on his right hand during the first Test in Jamaica nearly a month ago and carried the injury through the rest of the series. An infection exacerbated the problem ahead of the Barbados Test and Ronchi was flown to Bridgetown as cover, although he was not required.”It was uncomfortable [in the third Test], but it’s come through the game a lot better than I hoped to be honest,” Haddin said. “It holds me in pretty good stead for the one-dayers.”I was actually a bit nervous going in to the Test match that I wasn’t going to be able to play the one-dayers after the infection, but it’s come through a lot better than I thought. I’d be fit to play Friday, but I’d also like to give it a chance to calm down so I can play in the whole one-day series.”If Ronchi does debut on Friday it could well be alongside his fellow uncapped Western Australian Shaun Marsh, who has joined the squad as a one-day specialist following a brilliant stint in the Indian Premier League. Australia could enter the Twenty20 match without Andrew Symonds, who suffered back spasms during the third Test.

Palmer: Josh Sims is a good signing for Sheffield Wednesday

Former Sheffield Wednesday player Carlton Palmer believes that Josh Sims would be a good signing for the club. 

Yorkshire Live reported that Sheffield Wednesday were in talks with Sims, who is a free agent after leaving Southampton this summer.

If the winger does complete a move to Hillsborough, he would be reunited with manager Darren Moore, who he previously played under at Doncaster Rovers.

The 24-year-old winger was on loan at the Keepmoat Stadium last season and featured 30 times for the Reds, scoring three goals and providing eight assists.

Carlton Palmer believes that Sims would be a good signing for Sheffield Wednesday, exclusively telling Transfer Tavern: “If they manage to get it over the line, I think it’s a good signing. He worked with Darren at Doncaster, so the fact he’s worked with Darren, understands the way Darren works and wants to play and enjoyed it, I think it would be another good acquisition by the football club if they can get that one over the line.”

Moore has been very active so far in the summer transfer window, with no fewer than eight new faces arriving at Hillsborough. That number could soon increase, though, as football writer Ian Mitchelmore reported that George Byers is close to securing a move to the Owls.

After a busy summer, Darren Moore will be hoping that his Sheffield Wednesday side hit the ground running early in League One, with the Owls beginning their campaign on the road away to Charlton Athletic this weekend.

وركز الجهاز الفني بقيادة البرتغالي جيسفالدوا فيريرا على الشق الفني خلال مران اليوم.

وفضل الجهاز الفني عدم تكثيف التدريبات البدنية في ظل ارتفاع درجة الحرارة حتى لا يتعرض اللاعبين للإرهاق أو الإجهاد، حيث لم يؤد الفريق سوى تدريبات الركض حول الملعب.

كما شارك عمر السعيد مهاجم الفريق في التدريبات الجماعية اليوم الأربعاء بشكل طبيعي، بعدما تعرض للإصابة في مباراة الإسماعيلي الأخيرة في الدوري.

وخضع عمر السعيد لاختبار طبي قبل انطلاق المران، أوضح عدم تأثره بالإصابة التي تعرض لها في المباراة السابقة في الدوري.

ويستعد الزمالك لمواجهة الداخلية يوم 13 يونيو الجاري ضمن منافسات دور الـ32 لبطولة كأس مصر الموسم الحالي.

ويعود المغربي أشرف بن شرقي صانع ألعاب نادي الزمالك إلى القاهرة غدا الخميس، بعدما استغل فترة الراحة للسفر إلى الخارج.

وتواصل الجهاز الإداري مع بن شرقي من أجل متابعة موعد عودته في ظل تعثر وصوله اليوم بسبب تأشيرة السفر، وسيصل إلى القاهرة غدا للانتظام في التدريبات الجماعية للفريق.

وتلقى نادي الزمالك اخطارا باستدعاء التونسي حمزة المثلوثي الظهير الأيمن للفريق الكروي إلى منتخب بلده استعدادا لخوض مباريات تصفيات كأس الأمم الإفريقية.

وسافر المثلوثي للانضمام لمنتخب بلده، على أن يؤدي تدريباته العلاجية الأخيرة في معسكر نسور قرطاج بعدما تعرض للإصابة في وقت سابق بالتواء في الكاحل.

وقال ساوثجيت في تصريحات نشرتها صحيفة “جارديان” الإنجليزية: “في الشوط الثاني بدأنا ببطء بعض الشيء ولم يكن لدينا الاستحواذ، لم نكن عدوانيين بما فيه الكفاية مع ضغطنا ثم استقبلنا شباكنا، لذلك كان الرد الذي قام به لاعبونا رائعًا”.
