أضاف عبد الغني خلال مداخلة هاتفية عبر برنامج “البريمو” المُذاع عبر قناة “TEN”: “فايلر سيرحل عن الأهلي خلال الفترة المقبلة، من الممكن أن يكون اتفق مع إدارة الأهلي على لعب بطولة دوري أبطال إفريقيا ثم الرحيل، إذا حدث غير ذلك سيكون تهريج بكل تأكيد”.

تابع: “فايلر قام ببناء اسمه داخل الأهلي، لم يكن معروفًا لأي أحد، كان يجب وضع شروط جزائية في حالة خسارته لبطولة إفريقيا”.

وواصل: “كان يجب على مسؤولي الأهلي تأمين أنفسهم بشكل أفضل مع فايلر بالتوقيع معه لمدة موسمين، ومن الخطأ عدم وضع شروط جزائية فى شهر أكتوبر الأمر الذى يمنح فايلر الرحيل بدون أي أزمة، بطولة الدوري أي مدرب يستطيع تحقيقها الأهم هو بطولة إفريقيا”.

استكمل: “الأهلي من صنع اسم فايلر، ولم يكن له أي إنجازات قبل تدريبه الأهلي ولم يكن معروف وفوزه ببطولة الدوري ليس إنجازًا”.

أردف: “الأهلي سيتأثر برحيل فايلر، قبل مباراتي الوداد المغربي بنصف نهائي دوري أبطال إفريقيا، بكل تأكيد الأهلي سيهتز فنيًا في حال رحيل فايلر وأي مدرب سيأتي في هذا التوقيت سيكون منتحر بسبب صعوبة الموقف”.

أكمل: “إدارة الأهلي ستكون في أزمة في حالة رحيل فايلر، بسبب عدم وجود مدربين أجانب مميزين في التوقيت الحالي”.

اختتم: “المدير الفني المناسب للأهلي، مختار مختار يجب أن يحصل على فرصة مع الأهلي لديه خبرات كبيرة، وتاريخه أكبر من أشخاص كثيرة”.

Dortmund’s Axel Witsel slams Premier League before Tottenham clash

[ad_pod ]

Borussia Dortmund star Axel Witsel is holding nothing back ahead of their Champions League clash with Tottenham, suggesting the Premier League is overrated due to “media hype”.

Tottenham welcome Dortmund to Wembley on Wednesday evening in what is sure to be an absolutely enthralling encounter.

The Lilywhites have grinded out results in the absence of Harry Kane and Dele Alli, but the visit of a Dortmund side who drew 3-3 with Hoffenheim at the weekend will surely bring goals.

While many would consider the Bundesliga to be a weaker league outside of the big two teams though, Witsel has claimed it is just as good as England’s top flight.

“I do not think the Premier League is better than the Bundesliga on the whole,” he told Sport Buzzer, as reported by The Evening Standard.

“It’s all about the media hype. Far more people in the world see the Premier League on TV, because it’s broadcast almost everywhere.

“For historical reasons, the international media are more geared to England than to Germany, Italy or France. But I do not see any serious difference in the quality of football.”

The Belgian international is right to feel confident, as his side are flying at the top of the Bundesliga, five points ahead of Liverpool’s Champions League opponents Bayern Munich.

However, he wouldn’t be the first player to talk big before an important knock-out match and go on to regret it, and Spurs fans will be hoping that is the case here.

And fans were delighted with the performance of their goalkeeper, who also enjoyed an excellent performance against Arsenal at the weekend, saving a last-minute penalty from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

West Ham’s transfer nightmares: A tale of two terrible deals

Transfers: They have been a bit of a mixed bag in recent years, haven’t they? There have been numerous deals that looked good on paper, yet their ability failed to materialise. There have been other moves that may have gone under the radar, but some players of that calibre have gone on to establish themselves in the capital and make a significant impact at West Ham United.

Manuel Pellegrini’s first transfer window at the club was a positive one. The most notable incoming, in Felipe Anderson, has proved his worth so far, representing some fine business by the Hammers. Other renown signings in Jack Wilshere and Andriy Yarmelenko have been hampered with injuries as of yet, but the West Ham faithful will be hoping they can make a sustained, positive impact when they return.

Having heard some rather impressive signings of late, to balance the books, here are possibly the two worst West Ham signings in recent years…

Havard Nordtveit

Nordtveit joined West Ham in 2016 on a free after playing a pivotal role in an impressive Borussia Monchengladbach side during his time at the German outfit.

In England, the Norweigan international was used frequently at centre-back, despite holding midfield suiting him better and during that time, he really struggled to establish himself in the Premier League.

Part of that struggle will have been down to the side he was playing in and the role he had to fulfil, but he did not really help himself with some of his displays. Nordtveit was then moved on at the end of that season as he signed for Hoffenheim and finds himself back in English football, on loan at Fulham.

Simone Zaza

Zaza was brought in on a season-long loan from Juventus in the same summer as Nordtveit and in eight appearances for West Ham, he failed to score once before a knee injury sidelined the Italian and he was moved on to Valencia.

His arrival came soon after his infamous penalty miss at Euro 2016 and the player himself told Italian media that the very poor spell at West Ham was down to that moment. Zaza is now back in Italy, on loan at Torino.

Arsenal fans slam Xhaka display vs BATE

[ad_pod ]

Arsenal had a nightmare Thursday evening in Belarus, and fans are absolutely fuming at Granit Xhaka’s performance in the 1-0 defeat to BATE Borisov.

Unai Emery suffered yet another setback this week, as the Gunners were beaten 1-0 in Belarus.

BATE, which was originally an acronym for Borisov Automobile and Tractor Electronics, needed just one goal to earn a famous victory, as Stanislav Dragun headed home the winner just before half-time.

Arsenal’s evening then went from bad to worse, as Alexandre Lacazette was sent off late in the second half, the Frenchman swinging his elbow at an opponent in retaliation after a foul. The 27 year-old also had a goal chalked off before his dismissal.

While none of the players covered themselves in glory, fans are crucifying Xhaka, who if truth be told looked out of his depth against the side that are currently nine points clear at the top of the Belarusian Premier League.

The Swiss international made just one key pass, zero tackles or interceptions and also picked up a yellow card.

West Ham aren’t messing around with Rice valuation, but grass isn’t always greener

[ad_pod ]

According to The Sun, West Ham United midfielder Declan Rice would cost around £70m if Manchester City wanted to sign him this summer, but the Irons are running a big risk if those demands are true.

What’s the word, then?

Well, The Sun report that the 20-year-old is one of three young English players that Pep Guardiola is keen to bring to the Etihad Stadium during the next transfer window, with the man who has now pledged his allegiance to England internationally valued at around £70m.

The Sun report that the Premier League champions see the London-born starlet as their long-term replacement for Fernandinho, and that is no surprise given some of the strong performances he has produced for Manuel Pellegrini’s men in a defensive midfield role this term.

While receiving that amount for a player that can’t make a difference in terms of goals and assists would obviously be something not to be sniffed at, there is proof that the grass isn’t always greener.

Why’s that?

You only have to look at Southampton to see how business that can look great on paper can quickly go horribly wrong.

Saints agreed to sell Virgil van Dijk to Liverpool for a world-record fee (£75m) for a defender in December 2017, and while they would have been gutted to lose the Dutchman they also would have been confident of significantly strengthening their squad as a whole with the money.

Instead, they appear to have thrown more money down the drain bringing in the likes of Guido Carrillo and Mohamed Elyounoussi for large fees, with both so far failing to make the grade at St Mary’s.

The south coast outfit now find themselves in another relegation battle and there is always a risk that West Ham’s business could go wrong too should they cash in on their prized asset.

Lessons need to be learned and selling Rice even for that price would be a risk, and one they shouldn’t take no matter what money is on the table.

Arsenal fans on Twitter can’t help but agree with Mourinho’s Ozil comments

Arsenal fans continue to mull over the situation that has seen their club turned on its head recently. Mesut Ozil and Unai Emery’s apparent rift continues to cause problems and the fans simply have no explanation, however, an unlikely source who does is Jose Mourinho as an Arsenal fan has uncovered an interest Jose quote on the German.

Mesut Ozil and Jose Mourinho worked together at Real Madrid and it seems that despite the Portuguese tactician’s rigid style and emphasis on defensive work, the German was a player who he cherished. Ozil produced 81 assists in three years under Mourinho and that stat speaks for itself as the Gunners wonder why Emery cannot get the best from the German.

Now 30-years-old, Ozil still has loads to offer at The Emirates and it seems crazy that the club fails to play to his strengths. His creative nouse is second to none and when he’s on form he becomes nye on impossible to stop. However, under Emery this season the ex-Los Blancos hero has provided just four goals and two assists in 18 games in all competitions as he continues to look closer and closer to an exit.

You can read the Gunners’ thoughts on Mourinho’s Ozil quotes here:

The Gunners will be even more frustrated to see that even Mourinho can see a solution to their problems as they continue to look for an answer to their Ozil issue.

محمد فضل: الأهلي حصل على رخصة الأندية المحترفة.. وعلينا الاستفادة من حسام غالي

أكد محمد فضل، عضو اللجنة الخماسية المُكلفة بإدارة اتحاد الكرة، أن الأهلي حصل منذ أسبوعين على رخصة الأندية المحترفة، ليكون أول ناد يتقدم بالأوراق الخاصة للحصول على الرخصة.

وتوج الأهلي ببطولة الدوري المصري الممتاز، رسميًا، للمرة 42 في تاريخه والخامسة على التوالي، وذلك قبل انتهاء المسابقة الجارية.

وأضاف فضل خلال لقائه عبر قناة “أون تايم سبورت”: “الأهلي منذ أسبوعين بالظبط بدأ في إرسال الأوراق من أجل إنهاء التراخيص، ومن السهل حصول الأندية على رخصة المحترفين”.

وتابع: “أمامنا مشكلة تواجهنا من حيث أسعار اللاعبين، بدأت أضع الحلول من خلال التراخيص، لابد أن أعرف ميزانية النادي وبالطبع النادي عليه عدم الخسارة، لكن أسعار اللاعبين مبالغة جدًا ولا تسير مع السوق هذا غير منطقي ما هو مصدر الأموال”.

وواصل: “بدأنا أيضًا تكريم قدامى الأهلي والزمالك في لقاء السوبر الأخير ثم تكريم عبد الله السعيد بدخوله ضمن قائمة نادي المائة، ثم تغيير هوية الاتحاد وشكل الاتحاد المصري، وسيكون هناك تكريم لرموز نادي المائة”.

واستكمل: “بدايتي كانت من خلال النادي الأهلي باعتباري ناشئ لكن في العمل العام، أنا أفصل، علاقتي مع النادي الأهلي جيدة لأنه بيتي وبعد عملي العام سأكون بين صفوف الجماهير”.

واختتم: “بصرف النظر عن عمله الإداري لابد من الاستفادة من حسام غالي، مدير الكرة بنادي الجونة، لأنه من الكوادر القوية في المستقبل”.

Adrian Durham: Southampton made a huge mistake in selling Dusan Tadic

Southampton have garnered a reputation for being a club that is able to make millions upon millions by selling their best talent. Players from Luke Shaw to Nathaniel Clyne to Virgil van Dijk have been sold by the club for big sums of money, and they’ve often been replaced seamlessly.

However, not all of their sales have been smart, and TalkSport man Adrian Durham has attacked the club for their decision to sell Dusan Tadic to Ajax.

As per TalkSport, Durham said: “On Dusan Tadic we’ve talked about this before – £10million. That was the fee agreed for Southampton to sell him to Ajax. He had two years left on his contract. For me, he’s the best footballer – think about my words – the best footballer Southampton have had since Matt Le Tissier.”

He continued: “What were the so-called brains trust at Southampton Football Club – whether it be Mark Hughes, Les Reed at the time – thinking of? Absolutely appalling decision from them…You can’t just let him go for £10million and you’re Southampton! It’s ridiculous.”

Durham clearly isn’t impressed by the Saints’ decision to sell Tadic, especially for such a small fee, and this is, of course, on the back of his brilliant performance against Real Madrid in the Champions League. He scored and assisted two goals for the Dutch side, and he was undeniably the best player on the pitch. In fact, he made history by being given the rare distinction of a 10/10 grade by L’Equipe for his performance (via Jonathan Johnson on Twitter).

His display would have given Southampton fans memories of just how good he could be in a Saints shirt, but admittedly, his problem was that he didn’t deliver that often enough. He was inconsistent, and that’s likely a core reason why the club decided to cash in.

His performance on Tuesday was brilliant, but that was a one-off. He hasn’t been able to produce magic like that very often, and it would be wrong to view that fixture in a vacuum. Sure, his 16 goal Eredivisie return this term is a good record, but that’s only one part of his game, and he’s often been unrefined.

That said, is he worth more than £10 million? You’d certainly think so, and Southampton are likely regretting selling him for that fee. Hindsight, so they say, however, is 20/20, and there was no way of the club knowing that he had this sort of performance in his locker.

Southampton fans – do you regret selling Tadic? Let us know by joining the discussion below!
