O São Paulo confirmou na tarde desta quarta-feira a contratação do meia brasileiro Thomaz Santos, de 30 anos, que estava no Jorge Wilstermann. O Tricolor pagou a multa rescisória de 80 mil dólares (R$ 248,8 mil) e o atleta receberá aproximadamente R$ 50 mil mensais.

-O Thomaz é um meia de condução de bola, incisivo, que foi apresentado pelo nosso departamento de análise de desempenho e, na minha opinião, se mostrou um jogador muito interessante. Ele pode ajudar bastante o São Paulo nesta temporada. A chegada dele, porém, não fecha a possibilidade de trazer novos reforços – afirmou Ceni ao site oficial do clube.

Camisa 10 do Wilstermann, Thomaz, nascido em São Paulo e naturalizado boliviano, esteve em campo na partida entre Wilstermann e Palmeiras, no último dia 15, pela segunda rodada da fase de grupos da Copa Libertadores.

O reforço tricolor teve passagens pela base do Corinthians entre 2003 e 2004 e pelo Juventus-SP e Internacional nos anos seguintes. Depois, jogou por Grêmio Barueri (2007), Chiasso-SUI (07/08 e 08/09), Avaí (2008), Ventura Fusion-EUA (2010), Rio Claro (2010), Hercílio Luiz (2011), Caxias (2011), Imbituba (2011), Audax (2012), Rio Branco-AC (2012), Marcílio Dias (2012), Inter de Lages (2013), Treze (2013), Gurupi (2013), Brasiliense (2014) e Jorge Wilstermann, clube o qual defende desde 2014. O São Paulo será seu vigésimo clube.

Facing defeat at Lord’s in their Norwich Union Division II match against the Middlesex Crusaders, the Hawks bowlers rallied to the task to pull off an incredible 2 run victory.

Vic Isaacs04-Jun-2002Facing defeat at Lord’s in their Norwich Union Division II match against the Middlesex Crusaders, the Hawks bowlers rallied to the task to pull off an incredible 2 run victory.Middlesex winning the toss chose to send Hampshire in to bat on a green looking wicket, and runs against the white new ball were hard to find early on.Hampshire were without their captain Robin Smith, who had an Achilles tendon problem, so chose to rest. Will Kendall took on the captains duties.Seam bowlers Chad Keegan and Tim Bloomfield bowled tight lines suiting to the conditions, and it was the latter that dismissed Hamblin, who played an expansive pinch-hitter stroke that went straight up in the air to be caught by the wicket-keeper.Derek Kenway perished to an in-swinger, and when the Pakistani all-rounder Abdur Razzak had Neil Johnson trapped in front the Hawks were struggling.John Crawley playing his first Norwich Union match for his new county, played some spirited shots to up the tempo, but his attempt to pull Razzak to the short leg-side boundary proved his downfall.Nic Pothas, first with Giles White, then Will Kendall batted well and raised the score, but the Middlesex overseas player was a handful as he completed 9 overs cheaply, picking up three wickets on the way. Pothas remained unbeaten on 39.The Crusader openers Andrew Strauss and Sven Koenig gave their side a good start with a 69 run partnership to put them in command. Both were dismissed on the same score to give Hampshire hope, but at 120-3 the home side appeared to be coasting to victory.As Concorde and the Red Arrows flew by in celebration of the Queen’s Golden Jubilee nearby, the match seemed to change. Razzak was bowled immediately after by Neil Johnson, and from then the batters struggled against the excellent Hampshire bowlers, and the fielders who were giving everything, particularly a steeping running catch by Hamblin to dismiss the dangerous Shah off the admirable Udal.Two run outs brought the match to the boiling point, with the light fading. 25 runs were needed from the last three overs. Chris Tremlett conceded just five from his last over, then Mullally only 5 plus a leg bye and a run out, left the crowd biting their nails.14 was required of the last over with Neil Johnson given the responsibility, 3 runs and a run out came off the first three of them, then Nash struck 2 and 4, leaving 6 to win and 4 to tie the match. Middlesex managed only two.

The vastly wide gulf between one of the region’s major teams and another of the fledgling rookies was emphasised again here yesterday in a massive no-contest

20-Aug-2002The vastly wide gulf between one of the region’s major teams and another of the fledgling rookies was emphasised again here yesterday in a massive no-contest.Barbados thoroughly made fools out of opponents, who clearly should not be competing at this level, to win their second successive Red Stripe Bowl match that has virtually guaranteed them a place in the Final Four.If they hardly raised a gallop in defeating newcomers University of the West Indies by 102 runs on Friday, they didn’t even leave the starting gates in embarrassingthe Leewards XI by 193 runs at the Melbourne Club ground.It was a vast disappointment to the fair-sized Sunday crowd who might have wanted to see a competitive affair.In marching to their highest ever total in a regional limited-overs match, Barbados walloped to 323 for five from 50 overs and then restricted their woeful opponents to 130 in 33.5 overs.Make no mistake about it – it was a clinically efficient performance by Barbados but they know full well that because of the inferior quality of the Leewards XI, it cannotbe adequately used asa yardstick."This was a very, very good win," team coach Hendy Springer said. "The guys did exceptionallywell in the batting and the only question mark I had about the bowling was that the guys bowled too many no-balls and wides. It doesn’t matter how the opposition is doing, we’ve got to cut that down to prepare ourselves for when we meet much more serious opposition"Among the batsmen who dominated were: Dale Richards and Ryan Hinds, with 81 each, and Floyd Reifer with a hurricane70 off 57 balls, while Sulieman Benn was the chief destroyer of the Leeward innings that offered very little on either side of a fourth wicket partnership of 79 between Colin Cannonier (47) and Tonito Willett (27).Benn removed both to good catches in the deep and added a furtherthree scalps to finishwith five for 18 from ten mean overs."I am feeling good about my bowling. The pitch was a little slow. I’m in good form. I’m confident and it was quite easy actually," he said."It is known that good spinners get wickets against the Leewardsall the time. I am not really surprised."Benn and the other Barbadian bowlers had the benefit of defending a huge total after the batsmen indulged ina run-feast.The stark reality of it was that this Leewards attack resembled nothing more than a decent intermediate club standard and, even at this early stage of the competition, officials should be contemplating whether it was wise to separate them from Antigua and Barbuda.From the first over to the last, balls were constantly coming offthe bats like the soundof shotguns.Hapless Leewards spent their time retrieving the ball from the boundary 43 times and on five occasions they had to fetch it from beyond the ropes on a ground which carries the famous names of Michael Holding and Courtney Walsh ateither end.The Melbourne Club ground, with small boundaries in certain sections and its lightening fast outfield, is tailor-made for runs and almost every Barbados batsman cashed in on the syrup that was served up in mainly cloudy conditions – the major contributions coming Dale Richards, Ryan Hinds and Floyd Reifer.By the half-way stage of the innings, Barbados advanced to 151 for one with Richards and Hinds in the course of a second-wicket partnership that seemed unlikely to be broken. They looked like Lara and Hooper together, but having said that, the bowling would have been in the incapable hands of primary schoolboys.Hundreds seemed a forgone conclusion for both Richards and Hinds but they were denied only by the run-out route when each was 19 away.The dismissal of Richards, in particular,was freakish.After cracking ten fours, mainly from power-fully struck cover-drives and cuts, along with two straight sixes from uncomplicated off-spin,he was found shortof his ground whenHinds’ drive back along the pitch rebounded from the bowler Alex Adams, and onto the stumps.Hinds, positive fromhis first scoring stroke, justified management’s decision to allow him the No. 3 position.He was never once bogged down and his cutting and flickingwere authoritative tosay the least.Never before has he completed a century at this level and he was clearly angry when he found himself at the same end with Reifer, who correctly did not respond to his call for a tight single to point.Hinds’ 81 off 87 balls included ten fours, but he showed his obvious disappointment by banging his bat and helmet into the turf when he had to go.For the last few seasons, Reifer has probably been Barbados’ most consistent and most valuable batsman and he underlined that tag by smashing 70 off 57 balls to ensure Barbados capitalised on its position.In the latter stages he was joined by the big-hitting Vasbert Drakes and the pair pulverised the Leewards to the extent that 91 runs came from the last ten overs.

Hampshire aim to be unchanged for their first visit to the picturesque Recreation Ground at Bath in eleven years, where Somerset will play hosts for the Frizzell County Championship match, starting on Wednesday.

Victor Isaacs10-Jun-2002Hampshire aim to be unchanged for their first visit to the picturesque Recreation Ground at Bath in eleven years, where Somerset will play hosts for the Frizzell County Championship match, starting on Wednesday.The only amendment to the side that held out against Warwickshire could be Jason Laney replacing Test hopeful John Crawley, if he receives the nod for his return to old pastures at Old Trafford.Laney is on standby, while Robin Smith returns to lead the side after missing the previous two one-day encounters with an Achilles tendon injury.On the injury front, Alex Morris and Adrian Aymes are expected to play a full part in the four-day second XI Championship match at the Rose Bowl against Essex, which was due to start on Tuesday, weather permitting.Team: Derek Kenway, Will Kendall, John Crawley or Jason Laney, Robin Smith (capt), Neil Johnson, Giles White, Nic Pothas (w-k), Dimitri Mascarenhas, Shaun Udal, Chris Tremlett and Alan Mullally.

In a recent interview, Manchester United defender Harry Maguire admitted that he chose a move to Old Trafford over a switch to the Etihad Stadium in 2019, despite receiving a personal phone call from Pep Guardiola.

The England international completed an £80m move from Leicester City to Manchester United in 2019 but could have very easily ended up with the Citizens.

When speaking to Gary Neville for The Overlap, the centre-back revealed: “I grew up watching Manchester United, no disrespect to Manchester City… so I always had my heart set on this club.

“I spoke to Pep and obviously the football they play and what he’s done for the club… (I have) great respect for him and what he’s done for football, but my heart was set.”

Since joining United, the 28-year-old has become club captain and has gone on to make 107 appearances for the Red Devils, contributing five goals and five assists.

Whilst he has come under a lot of criticism at times, his performances this season were a key factor in United finishing second behind City, and their drop-off in form in recent fixtures in his absence emphasises just how important he is to Solskjaer’s side.

[snack-amp-story url=”https://www.footballfancast.com/web-stories/read-the-latest-manchester-city-transfer-rumours-and-news” title=”Read the latest Manchester City transfer rumours and news!”]

In 34 Premier League appearances in 2020/21, the centre-back contributed two goals and one assist, earning an impressive 7.04 average rating from WhoScored, which is higher than the average ratings of Man City centre-back duo Ruben Dias (6.91) and John Stones (7.03).

Guardiola is clearly a big fan of Maguire, having called him to try and convince him to join the Spaniard at the Etihad, whilst the 50-year-old also sung his praises earlier in the season, dubbing him “one of the best central defenders in the world.”

[freshpress-quiz id=“577936″]

Therefore, whilst Maguire claims that he had his heart set on joining United, it is a shame that City couldn’t complete a deal for the £36m-rated defender, as he could have been an excellent addition at the Etihad.

Mauricio Pochettino could sensationally return to Tottenham Hotspur this summer.

That is the latest claim from The Sun, who suggested that the 49-year-old is considering a switch back to Spurs following a disappointing spell in charge of French giants Paris Saint-Germain.

The Ligue 1 outfit have squandered the title to Lille and were also knocked out of the Champions League in the semi-finals, whilst Daniel Levy is said to be considering a ploy to lure his former manager back to N17.

Spurs’ chairman is said to have admitted to close friends that sacking the Argentine was the worst mistake of his career to date – rather damning if true.

Pochettino would undoubtedly be welcomed back with open arms, although it remains to be seen whether he’s a viable candidate.

According to football.london’s Alasdair Gold, if his situation changes at PSG and he “showed interest”, he would then “come into the frame”, especially considering that he has the “ideal candidate profile” for the job.

Not only would his return appease much of the Lilywhites fanbase, many of whom have been seen protesting against Levy and the club’s owners ENIC in recent weeks, it could also give them a massive boost in their bid to keep hold of star striker Harry Kane.

Recently, the England talisman waxed lyrical about Pochettino and the relationship between the pair to Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville for The Overlap YouTube channel.

“[Pochettino] was the perfect guy for me to come into because we worked so hard, training was so tough,” said Kane, before adding: “We built up a real good relationship. We understood each other, not just football but personal as well. We had some great years and great moments and obviously would’ve loved to have won something with him, won a trophy with him. It didn’t quite happen but I will always cherish the relationship and the years we had together for sure.”

[snack-amp-story url= “https://www.footballfancast.com/web-stories/read-the-latest-spurs-managerial-updates-transfer-news-rumours-gossip-and-more-levy-kane-enic” title= “Read the latest Spurs news, managerial gossip, transfer rumours and more!”]

Sky Sports believe that Kane has asked Spurs if he can leave the club this summer, putting the likes of Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea on high alert.

The 27-year-old desperately wants to win trophies as he enters the peak of his already goal-laden career and was thought to have made a ‘gentlemen’s agreement’ with Levy to stay to try and achieve that under Jose Mourinho.

Pochettino wouldn’t instantly bring Spurs a piece of silverware if he were to return. After all, he failed to do so in five years at the club but, truth be told, they overachieved with him in control, which included making the Champions League final two years ago.

If he were backed in the transfer market the same way that Mourinho was, there’s every chance he could then take Spurs to the next level, and you’d imagine the relationship that Kane and Pochettino have would be enough to keep the striker in N17 for at least one last hoorah.

Names such as Graham Potter and Roberto Martinez are surely going to push him out the exit door.

If Pochettino is the “ideal candidate,” then the Spurs hierarchy must shelve their pride and correct their mistake. In doing so, they could have a fighting chance of keeping their superstar striker.

AND in other news, Levy risks more fury if Spurs appoint “very stubborn” 62 y/o who “would like” the job…

Dean Windass has exclusively told The Transfer Tavern that Jesse Lingard is too good for Aston Villa.

The 28-year-old is currently enjoying an impressive spell on loan at West Ham but will return to Manchester United following the conclusion of the 2020-2021 campaign.

Lingard has managed nine goals and four assists in 14 appearances for the Hammers, with his exceptional form catching the attention of some of Europe’s biggest clubs.

And with United already looking to adding Jadon Sancho to their squad this summer, Lingard is expected to be surplus to requirements at Old Trafford, which means he’ll be available for a transfer.

A host of clubs have already been linked with Lingard, who’s Manchester United future is in serious doubt, and whilst West Ham would appear to hold a slight advantage, Aston Villa have entered the race for his signature, with Dean Smith keen on bolstering his wide department following Trezeguet’s injury blow.

But whilst Villa have been on the cusp of European football for much of this season, although their hopes were ended at Crystal Palace on Sunday, Windass believes that Lingard should be aiming higher than a move to Villa Park this summer.

He told The Transfer Tavern:

“I can’t see Villa and those teams. No disrespect to Aston Villa, no disrespect whatsoever, but I think he can do better than that.”

In an exclusive interview with Transfer Tavern, Steve Howey, who made 278 appearances during his career, has claimed that Sergio Aguero would do well at Everton under Carlo Ancelotti.

Aguero is set to leave Manchester City after their Champions League final against Chelsea and he has reportedly already held talks with Barcelona over a potential move this summer.

City’s all-time top scorer has also been linked with a move to Goodison Park this summer as the 32-year old may feel he still has plenty to offer in the Premier League, despite Pep Guardiola seeing him as surplus to requirements.

Speaking on how Aguero is still good enough to play in the Premier League and why a team like Everton would be good for Aguero, Howey exclusively told The Transfer Tavern:

“He’s a goal machine because you give him a chance and he’ll score. I don’t think he’s past it, but obviously, Pep is looking for something else.

“Somebody like Everton would be good for him. So I think given the right kind of contract and if he wants the move, then a deal can definitely be done.”

Aguero showed everyone what he is still capable of with his goal two weeks ago against Crystal Palace, but he was left rather red-faced when his panenka penalty was saved by Edouard Mendy last weekend.

Man City’s final league game of the season is set to have fans inside the Etihad which will allow them to give Aguero a send-off after lifting the Premier League trophy.
