Após a derrota por 2 a 0, o Botafogo se reapresentou no Estádio Nilton Santos na tarde desta terça-feira. Como de praxe, somente os atletas que não começaram jogando o último jogo foram a campo. Quem atua desde o início costuma ficar somente na academia. Não foi o caso de Montillo: o meia, ainda abalado com mais um problema físico, foi liberado pela diretoria e nem foi ao local da atividade.

O argentino precisou ser substituído logo aos sete minutos de jogo, com dores na panturrilha. As lesões em série limitam o número de jogos do camisa 7. Ele ainda não fez exame para ter diagnosticado o que lhe acometeu.

No campo anexo do Nilton Santos, houve atividades física e técnica, e outro que também não esteve no gramado foi Matheus Fernandes. O volante esteve na academia, após ficar fora do duelo contra o Avaí. Por outro lado, o atacante Vinícius Tanque participou de uma atividade em grupo pela primeira vez após artroscopia no joelho direito.

Nesta terça-feira, os titulares já devem ir a campo. O duelo contra o Atlético-MG, pelas quartas de final da Copa do Brasil, é na quinta-feira.

Jim Goodwin has commented on the future of Watford transfer target Jamie McGrath…

What’s the talk?

St Mirren boss Jim Goodwin has admitted that Watford transfer target Jamie McGrath could leave the club on a pre-contract agreement next near.

The midfielder is out of contract in the summer of 2022 and Goodwin has said that the player is ‘within his rights’ to sign a deal with a new club in the winter window ahead of leaving at the end of the season.,

He told the Scottish Sun:

“There was serious interest in him – I’m delighted he’s still here. Jamie would be well within his rights if he signed a pre-contract with another club in January.

“Equally, if someone comes in with an outrageous bid for him we’d need to decide what’s best for all concerned. Ideally, we’d like to tie him down on a long-term contract but, realistically, that’s not going to happen.”

Delight

Watford fans will be delighted by these comments from Goodwin as they open the door for McGrath to arrive at Vicarage Road for free next summer. The Hornets could land the Irish talent without having to pay a transfer fee, with Goodwin suggesting that St Mirren are now resigned to the possibility of him departing on a free.

Hornets fans will also be delighted because of the quality of player this news opens them up to getting. Goodwin has given an exceptional reference for the 24-year-old’s talents, saying:

“He had been pigeonholed as a No 10 at Dundalk and people looked at him as a luxury player, but I had a very good conversation with Jamie and his representatives and explained that I saw there was more to him than that.

“My belief was that he could become a No 8 and be a box-to-box player and I think he’s shown he can do that.

“He’s not one to fly into tackles, but he gets close to opponents, he’s fit, he’s quick and his composure on the ball is incredible. His creativity and bravery when in possession is second to none.”

McGrath was directly involved in 20 goals for St Mirren in all competitions from midfield last season, with 14 goals and six assists in 41 games.

This shows that the 24-year-old has the ability to score and assist goals at a decent rate in Scotland.

Bringing him in for nothing would be a worthwhile gamble for Watford.

Fans will be buzzing if Xisco Munoz is able to sign McGrath on a free transfer, especially if the Irish wizard starts scoring and assisting goals in the Premier League.

AND in other news, Signed for £18m, now valued at £3.6m: Watford endured transfer nightmare with dud…

Southampton were heavily linked with centre-back Rob Dickie in 2020, and after a phenomenal start to the season with QPR, Ralph Hasenhuttl should consider bringing him to St Mary’s as a replacement for Jannik Vestergaard.

What’s the word?

Both Southampton and Leeds United were linked with a move for Dickie during his time at Oxford United but he would join QPR later that summer, and he has been a star performer for the Loftus Road outfit during his time at the club.

Last season saw the 25-year-old win QPR’s Supporters’ Player of the Year award, as he made 43 appearances in the Championship, averaging a very impressive 7.17 rating from WhoScored for his performances.

Should Southampton sign Dickie?

He has started the new season in remarkable fashion, scoring in each of QPR’s games against Millwall, Leyton Orient and Hull City, earning the man-of-the-match award from WhoScored in all three of their games so far this season.

The centre-back’s average rating of 8.62/10 currently ranks him as the Championship’s second-best performer according to WhoScored, which suggests that he is more than ready to make the step up to the top flight, and he could be a great replacement for Vestergaard in Southampton’s back four.

Whilst his impressive start to the season is likely to elevate his price, Transfermarkt currently values Dickie at just £2.25m, which suggests that he could be a cheap, homegrown option for Southampton to consider this summer.

QPR manager Mark Warburton was full of praise for the centre-back last season, saying: “He’s getting better, Rob. He’s a young guy, has done very well and is still learning.

“He’s a very talented defender and there’s a lot more to come from him.”

[freshpress-quiz id=“594431”]

Saturday’s defeat highlighted Southampton’s need for centre-back reinforcements, and if Dickie could maintain his start to the season in the Championship with the Saints, he would surely prove to be a superb addition to Hasenhuttl’s squad.

Crystal Palace’s summer transfer window was an unprecedented success as new manager Patrick Vieira successfully overhauled his first-team squad, but one position is still arguably understocked.

What’s the story?

The additions of Odsonne Edouard, Conor Gallagher and Marc Guehi, amongst others, have left the Eagles in a much healthier position than at the end of 2020/21, giving them genuine hope of a successful season.

However, the failure to replace Andros Townsend has left Palace without a recognised right-winger in Vieira setup.

Several star names such as Jeremie Boga and Noni Madueke were heavily linked with moves to Selhurst Park throughout the summer to no avail, although the latter has provided renewed hope that a future deal can be concluded.

Patrick Vieira will be buzzing

Despite being linked to several Premier League clubs, the PSV Eindhoven winger signed a new contract with the Eredivisie giants, committing his future to the club until 2025.

Nevertheless, the 19-year-old has admitted in a recent interview that he plans to return to his homeland in the future after being released by boyhood club Tottenham Hotspur aged 16.

“Yeah, definitely,” Madueke said when asked if he has ambitions to play in the Premier League (as relayed by the Leicester Mercury).

“The Premier League is the best league in the world and every young English player wants to be there. But also, I am not someone who is afraid to venture elsewhere, so whatever is best for my development, whichever country, I am a person who won’t be scared to take the leap.

“When I was 16, I didn’t want to go into that under-21 system,” Madueke added. “I wanted to go out and play and be involved in a first-team as quickly as possible.

“I didn’t want to play under-23 football as a talented 16-year-old when I felt I was ready for the first team. I backed myself 100 per cent. I am very impatient.”

After bagging nine goals and providing eight assists in 32 appearances for Roger Schmidt’s charges last season, former PSV ace Tommie van de Leegte labeled Madueke “explosive” following his electric displays.

The £14.4m-rated wing wizard has started the new campaign in an even more impressive fashion, though, achieving seven goal contributions in just 10 outings, highlighting the England Under-21 internationals top-class potential.

Therefore, Vieira will surely be buzzing at Madueke’s eagerness to return to test himself in the Premier League. His arrival in south London would solve Palace’s right-wing conundrum and add another exciting, young and highly-promising talent to the Frenchman’s new-look side.

And, in other news…Vieira has deadline day shocker which could cause CPFC problems, fans may be concerned 

The Chronicle have dropped a big update on reported Newcastle transfer target Axel Tuanzebe regarding his thoughts on a possible move to the northeast.

What’s the talk?

According to The Chronicle, the Manchester United centre-back is interested in signing for the Tyneside club on a season-long loan deal this month.

Football Insider claimed that the Magpies are keen on the defender, who is seemingly open to making the move happen, as Steve Bruce eyes reinforcements for his squad before the end of the transfer window.

Fans will be buzzing

Newcastle fans will surely be buzzing with this news as it is an encouraging update which seems to suggest that there is a strong chance of a deal being done. The club wants it to happen, the player wants it to happen, and now it is down to whether or not Manchester United are prepared to loan him out to the Magpies.

If they agree to it, then it could become a simple process for Newcastle and Tuanzebe given the mutual desire for the move. However, it would be in Bruce’s best interests to get a deal over the line as quickly as possible to prevent another club from swooping in to tempt him away from St James’ Park, with Aston Villa also interested in the 23-year-old.

The Toon Army must be delighted as the defender could be an excellent addition to the squad. He is a promising young talent who has already shown glimpses of his quality at first team level for the Reds Devils.

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer lauded him as a “tremendous” defender after he was able to produce an impressive display against French forward Kylian Mbappe in the Champions League against Paris Saint-Germain last year.

The Norwegian said: “Axel’s a tremendous defender, a great leader. He’s come through the academy and we’ve known for years that he’s going to be a top player for us and he’s got the character and the attitude that a Man United player should have.”

Solskjaer added: “Sometimes you’ll get in a foot race with Mbappe and you have to run with him and we know Axel’s qualities, he’s a top defender.”

This shows that the £38k-per-week beast has the potential to be a strong performer on the Champions League stage, suggesting that he would also excel in the Premier League. Furthermore, his 88.6% passing accuracy last season was better than any Newcastle starter managed throughout the campaign, so he could be a tremendous asset in terms of improving ball retention for the Magpies.

Newcastle fans could enjoy seeing his development under Bruce at St James’ Park next season if they are able to secure a loan for the centre-back, which is why they must act swiftly to get this over the line.

Aston Villa are said to be in talks with RC Lens midfielder Cheick Doucouré as their summer recruitment drive intensifies, according to Goal.com [via Birmingham Live].

The Mali midfielder enjoyed a commendable 2020/21 campaign as he registered five goal contributions in 35 appearances, with four goals and one assist [Transfermarkt].

He could now be set for a move to England following recent reports. The Villains are believed to have commenced discussions over a possible deal, with Lens holding out for around €15m (£12.7m) before considering selling one of their prize assets [Goal.com, via Birmingham Live].

Dean Smith has already sanctioned deals for five players in the form of Axel Tuanzebe, Leon Bailey, Emiliano Buendia, Ashley Young and Danny Ings in this transfer window [Transfermarkt].

In light of recent developments about Doucouré, plenty of Aston Villa diehards took to Twitter to discuss the update on the 21-year-old, who won more tackles per game last season (2.6) than anyone in Smith’s squad, which suggests that he could add plenty of steel to the Villans’ midfield.

Replying to popular Aston Villa fan outlet villareport on Twitter, here is what some fans had to say about the Doucouré situation, with one supporter describing him as “super highly rated”:

Em busca de mais oportunidades no Fluminense, Lucas Fernandes teve seu contrato renovado com o clube das Laranjeiras. Agora, o vínculo do jogador vai até 31 de dezembro de 2019 – o anterior era válido até o fim de 2018.

Após ser emprestado ao Avaí e Atlético-PR na temporada passada, Lucas retornou ao Tricolor neste ano com status de reforço. No entanto, ainda não conseguiu repetir as boas atuações que teve pelo Furacão no último Brasileirão nas chances que teve com Abel Braga. Foram seis jogos, sendo três como titular, e 255 minutos em campo com a camisa tricolor.

A concorrência no setor ofensivo do Fluminense é grande em 2017. Atualmente, Lucas Fernandes está atrás de Wellington e Richarlison, titulares de Abel Braga, e disputa a condição de reserva imediato com Marcos Junior.
