Crystal Palace transfers: Glenn Murray set to leave for newly promoted Bournemouth

 Kampusbet - Crystal Palace transfers: Glenn Murray set to leave for newly promoted Bournemouth 

 

 


 

 

Judi Online -   Glenn Murray is ready to quit Crystal Palace with Bournemouth ready to snap him up.


Veteran striker Murray, 31, has seen other longer-serving players get big new contracts and he fears he could be on his way out.

That has alerted Bournemouth who have made a £3m bid while Norwich are also watching developments closely.

Bournemouth have been boosted by the signing of Callum Wilson, 23, to a new four-year contract.

But Cherries boss Eddie Howe has got cash to spend and wants to strengthen further with Murray on his radar.

Bandar Bola -  Murray signed a new contract until 2017 last season but since then Scott Dann and Jason Puncheon have signed even bigger deals.

Palace are also looking for a new striker and that could leave Murray surplus to requirements.

Murray was loaned out to Reading last season but got a way back in under new boss Alan Pardew.

However, Murray could yet be on his way out as Palace look to strengthen still further and have broken the bank to get Yohan Cabaye.

Sergio Ramos transfer: Rafa Benitez "sure" Manchester United target will stay at Real Madrid

Kampusbet -  Sergio Ramos transfer: Rafa Benitez "sure" Manchester United target will stay at Real Madrid 

 

 


 

 

Judi Online -  Rafa Benitez is "sure" that Sergio Ramos will not be leaving Real Madrid this summer.


Manchester United are keen on the centre-back, and have made sure the message has been heard in the Spanish capital that there will be no deal for David De Gea without Ramos heading the other way. 

Madrid have been at pains to knock back suggestions one of the star players will be leaving the Bernabeu and Benitez has reiterated the club's stance, report the Manchester Evening News. 

Speaking after the 4-1 International Champions Cup (ICC) win over Manchester City in Melbourne, Benitez told reporters: "Sergio has known from day one that I want him to stay and I'm sure that he'll stay with us."

Whether Ramos has any say in his future remains to be seen.

Bandar Bola -  The defender is said to be keen to leave, and prompted more speculation when he did not appear with his team to collect and lift the ICC trophy after the win over City.

Madrid-based paper Marca reports that United have urged the 29-year-old to make that desire public to try and force a move.

Benitez was also optimistic of Karim Benzema remaining in the Spanish capital, despite reported interest.

He added: "People are asking me about different players that maybe we will buy and I always say the same thing, 'he's not our player, I will not talk about that'.

"In this case Karim is our player so I will not talk about that. I hope, I'm sure, that he will stay with us."

Danny Ings nets birthday hat-trick as Liverpool stroll to 7-0 win over Felda United

Kampusbet -  Danny Ings nets birthday hat-trick as Liverpool stroll to 7-0 win over Felda United 

 

 


 

Judi Online -  Danny Ings bagged a second-half hat-trick as a Liverpool XI romped to a 7-0 victory over local side Felda United at Kuala Lumpur’s Bukit Jalil National Stadium.


At Brendan Rodgers' request, the open training session in front of around 5,000 fans was transformed into a 30-minute per half game against the Malaysian Premier League side in order to give playing time to those on the fringes of his squad.

It was a team packed full of youth and with a sprinkling of experience with Ryan Fulton in goal and a back four of Andre Wisdom, Kolo Toure, Mamadou Sakho and Joe Maguire, writes James Pearce for the Liverpool Echo.

The inclusion of Sakho suggests that Dejan Lovren will start alongside Martin Skrtel in Friday’s final tour match against the Malaysian Selection.

Ings played up front with Sheyi Ojo, Pedro Chirivella, Jordan Rossiter, Joao Carlos Teixeira and Lazar Markovic behind him.

Bandar Bola -  The Reds took the lead inside four minutes as Ings’ backheel released Maguire and his cross was expertly converted by Chirivella.

Markovic’s cool lob made it 2-0 and before the break Ojo slotted home.

In the second half it was a procession. Ings found the net twice in quick succession with some clincial finishing.

Teixeira then delighted the fans with a stunning 40-yard chip over the stranded keeper.

Ings completed his treble with the last kick of the bottom when he buried a chance into the bottom corner.

Brendan Rodgers insists Liverpool's dismal 2014/15 is behind them as Reds start pre-season with a win







Judi Online -  Brendan Rodgers saw Liverpool kick-off pre-season with a win in monsoon conditions - then officially washed his hands of last season.


The Kop boss watched his stars romp to an opening summer tour win to start a new era without iconic skipper Steven Gerrard and Raheem Sterling.

It may only have been victory against minor opposition - but for Rodgers it was a symbolic night that ushers in a fresh start for him and Liverpool after their dismal sixth place finish in May.

“We have learned from last season and now the door is closed. We move on from that,” said the Anfield manager.

“We are working very hard to develop a team and hopefully go on and cope with the demands of next season.

“I’ve been really pleased with the quality and work of the players. If we are going to impress it is going to be about the team and a lot of our work will be done on our team and our spirit and because we want quality.”

As Sterling’s £49million move to Manchester City was finally confirmed 6,000 miles away, Rodgers heralded the striker he hopes will be Liverpool’s new hope - £10million Divock Origi.

The Belgian attacker could have had a hat-trick after hitting a post twice. But eventually he scored on his debut with a thundering header from a Jordan Henderson corner against Thai All Stars to wrap up the goals in the Rajamangala Stadium.

Bandar Bola -  And Rodgers was full of praise for the 20-year-old who could start the season in place of injured Daniel Sturridge unless Liverpool spend big again on another front man.

Rodgers said: “I thought Divock was excellent. You can see his movement and what really pleased me tonight was his persistence.

“He had a couple of chances he missed that he he would want to score but he kept going and was very positive.

“He showed how good he is in the air, it was a great cross into the box and a great header that he scored.”

Rodgers played two entirely different teams in each half giving Danny Ings, Adam Bogdan and Joe Gomez their debut’s in the first 45 minutes.

And after the break he sent out Nathaniel Clyne, James Milner and Origi for their bow as torrential rain threatened to water-log the pitch and bring the game to a halt.

A cool finish from Lazar Markovic and a header by Mamadou Sakho put Liverpool into a 2-0 first half lead, doubled by Adam Lallana and Orgi second half.

And that at least provided some cheer for Rodgers as he headed down to Australia for Liverpool’s next game against the Brisbane Roar on Friday.

Bayern dash Man Utd's Muller hopes after confirming Schweinsteiger exit







Judi Online -  After announcing that a deal has been agreed for the transfer of the 30-year-ol.

midfielder, the Bavarians confirmed that no other players will leave for the club for Old Trafford

Bayern Munich have insisted Manchester United will not raid their squad for further additions after a deal for Bastian Schweinsteiger was announced.

The Bavarians confirmed the sale of Schweinsteiger to United on Saturday, with the German international joining the Premier League giants for an estimated £12 million on a three-year contract.

Schweinsteiger is not the only Bayern star to have been linked with a move to the Red Devils, with Thomas Muller also reported to be a top target for Louis van Gaal as the Dutchman looks to revamp his squad ahead of the upcoming campaign.

But Bayern CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has asserted that Muller will not follow Schweinsteiger to Old Trafford.

Bandar Bola -  "I can calm the worries of all Bayern supporters: We will not let another player leave for Manchester United,” he told reporters.

Matthias Sammer, sporting director at the Allianz Arena, stressed that Bayern would leap into the transfer market as they seek a replacement for Schweinsteiger.

"Bastian is already a club legend,” he added. “He should be replaced with someone who has his personality, not necessarily a like-for-like signing.

"However, we have a very good mix with this team. We have 20 pretty seasoned squad members already."

Schweinsteiger follows reserve goalkeeper Pepe Reina (Napoli), young midfielder Mitchell Weiser (Hertha Berlin) and Swiss attacker Xherdan Shaqiri (Inter) out of the Bayern door on a permanent basis.

Frank Lampard to miss New York City FC's clash with Toronto







Judi Online -  Frank Lampard will have to wait for his New York City FC debut after being ruled out of Sunday's match against Toronto with a calf injury.


The former Chelsea captain, who completed his move to New York from Manchester City this summer, picked up a knock in training as his new club prepare for their 19th MLS game of the season.

Lampard said: “I’m hugely disappointed to be missing out on Sunday’s game, which I have been really looking forward to.

"I’ve been feeling great in training and have loved working with the squad. Unfortunately I sustained a small strain to my calf during a session.

Bandar Bola -  “Whilst I’ve been taking it day-by-day since then, and have been involved in light training, I’ve just been advised by the medical team that it needs a few days of rest for it to heal fully.

“As I say, it’s personally very disappointing for me but these things happen in football. The good news is that I should be back in full training next week.

"While I was desperate to play a role on Sunday, I have to take the advice of our medical team to let it heal and not risk further injury so I can get back on the pitch and play a full role as soon as possible.”

New York City's next Eastern Conference fixture after Toronto takes place against New England Revolution in Foxborough, Massachusetts on Saturday July 18.

Alexis Sanchez penalty seals Chile's first Copa America win via shootout







Judi Online -  Alexis Sánchez struck the decisive penalty as Chile ended their 99-year wait to win their first ever Copa America title, coming out on top in the shoot-out against Argentina.


The Arsenal striker calmly rolled the ball past Sergio Romero to score Chile’s fourth penalty, after Gonzalo Higuaín and Ever Banega had missed from the spot.

The two teams could not be separated in 120 minutes of football, although Chile finished the game on top, with Sanchez coming close to scoring on two occasions, and were worthy winners.

The first half was a tense affair which witnessed plenty of strong challenges and few moments of brilliance.

Sergio Agüero and Ezequiel Lavezzi had Argentina’s best attempts, both which were beaten away by Claudio Bravo, while Arturo Vidal tested Romero at the other end, and Eduardo Vargas whistled a shot wide of the near post.

The second half witnessed even less goalmouth action, although Sánchez came within inches of winning the match with a spectacular volley which flew just wide of the far top corner.

Bandar Bola -  Then in the final minute Messi opened up Chile on the break, playing in Ezequiel Lavezzi down the left, but the Paris Saint-Germain player’s final ball was too long for substitute Higuaín to connect with properly at the back post.

Chile also looked more comfortable in extra-time, while Argentina retreated. 

Sánchez again came close to breaking the deadlock, this time in the 105th minute, pouncing on a slip by Javier Mascherano to hurtle towards goal, but Pablo Zabaleta raced back and did enough to put off the Arsenal man, who shot just over the bar.

Marcelo Diaz and Charles Aránguiz also had attempts for Chile as they went all out to win the game, while Argentina offered nothing in extra-time and looked relieved to make it to penalties, only to lose a second Copa title on spot-kicks in 11 years.

Manchester United transfers: Bastian Schweinsteiger told to make up his mind over Bayern Munich future






Judi Online -  Pep Guardiola has piled the pressure on Manchester United target Bastian Schweinsteiger to decide on his future.


United want to sign the Germany World Cup-winning midfielder in what would be a stunning coup for Louis van Gaal's side.

Van Gaal, who converted Schweinsteiger from a wide player into a central midfielder when he was at Bayern Munich, is desperate to be reunited with the 30-year-old.

Schweinsteiger has just one season left on his current deal with Bayern and United have been alerted to his potential availability in a deal that could be worth around £15million.

Although United have received sufficient encouragement from Schweinsteiger's representatives to believe a deal is possible, Bayern have said they will only let him go if he asks to leave.

Bandar Bola -  And Bayern boss Guardiola has turned the heat up on Schweinsteiger by demanding the midfielder makes his mind up over where he wants to play next season.

"Of course I am planning to work with Basti next season,” said Guardiola.

"But he must decide what he does alone. I've told him: 'The future depends on you'.

"Basti has managed a great career - but he has to decide."

United are hoping to land Morgan Schneiderlin from Southampton, but that deal has been held up over a disagreement between the two clubs over the valuation of the player.

Saints value Schneiderlin at £30m, but it is understood United are only willing to pay £25m, the disparity between the two parties holding up the potential agreement.
