Top 10 best free transfers of the summer transfer window in 2020

0

Football is a game where money is splashed around in crazy amounts. While clubs spend millions recruiting players every single transfer window, some join clubs for free.

Most commonly, this takes place when a certain player’s contract with their current club expires. When that happens, the player is free to be approached by clubs for recruitment. The best part about it is that the clubs do not have to pay anything to sign them.

With the COVID-19 pandemic affecting finances heavily, a free transfer is the most constructive solution to the problem of finances and recruiting. With that said, let’s have a look at the 10 best free transfers that have been completed in the current transfer window.

10. Alexis Sanchez

Alexis Sanchez was one of the most horrific transfers in the history of football. The former Arsenal sensation just could not get things going at Old Trafford. He was subsequently loaned out to Inter for the 19/20 campaign and has now permanently joined them for free.

9. Arturo Vidal

The second Inter player to make the list, Arturo Vidal reunited with former Juventus coach Antonio Conte at the San Siro. The former Juventus faithful is now united in an attempt to end the streak of silverware destined for Turin.

8. Adam Lallana

Lallana joined Liverpool from Southampton in the 14/15 season. He made 178 appearances for them and featured 261 times for Southampton. After six years at Anfield, the attacking midfielder is now a part of Brighton under Graham Potter. Despite being hit by injuries quite often, Lallana can be a key player for the Seagulls this season.

7. Pedro

Pedro has won everything there is to win for club and country, featuring for Barcelona and Chelsea most prominently. The Spaniard is now a Roma player and despite being in his 30s, can bring a lot to any club he plays for.

6. Willian

It is hard to imagine Willian in anything but a Chelsea shirt. However, we will be seeing the Brazilian in an Arsenal shirt every week this season. Having been unable to agree to a three-year contract extension with Chelsea, he is now a player for their local rivals, Arsenal. The 33-year-old adds the right amount of experience to Arteta’s rebuilding project at the Emirates.

5. David Silva

After spending a decade representing Manchester City, David Silva finally returns to Spain. Though he did not manage to win a Champions League with the Citizens, his passion, talent and achievements for the club have been rewarded with a statue outside the Etihad Stadium. David Silva now joins Real Sociedad to see out the last years of his illustrious career.

4. Thiago Silva

After 8 long years loaded with silverware at PSG, Thiago Silva has finally joined the Premier League. Despite being 36, the veteran could be the solution to Frank Lampard’s problems at the back which have plagued them throughout last season. The Brazilian intends on making it to the 2022 World Cup, and with his calibre, it might just happen.

3. Luis Suarez

Luis Suarez back to the treadmill, knee injury recovery continues

Luis Suarez joined Barcelona from Liverpool and went on to become one of the best strikers in their history. After six years at Camp Nou, the Uruguayan has rescinded his contract following the payment of his last year’s wages and has now joined Atletico Madrid for free.

2. Dani Parejo

In one of the most shocking departures of the summer, Valencia Captain Dani Parejo has joined local rivals, Villareal. Parejo is regarded as one of the best midfielders in La Liga, and the player has stated that he intended to retire with Valencia. However, that does not seem to be happening as Villareal have succeeded in signing the Spanish midfielder, who is a part of a brilliant squad under Unai Emery.

1. James Rodriguez

It was first reported that Everton signed James for about 20 million pounds. However, it was later revealed that there was no transfer fee involved. The 29-year-old linked up with Carlo Ancelotti for the third time in his career and looks set to earn minutes at Goodison Park following a dormant spell at Real Madrid in an attempt to revive his career.

Top 5 exciting new foreigners in ISL 2020

ISL is growing rapidly day by day, season by season. This year it is the 7th edition of ISL. In 2013 when it was first started every team had signed marquee players. In that season, some legends like Luis Garcia, Del Piero, Trezeguet, and many others played in the league. Later on, Postiga, Anelka, Elano also played in this league.

These players helped to encourage the players and Indian fans to love football more, many sponsors came into the scenario to flash money in Indian football, development at the grassroots level and infrastructure. It surely gave a boost to Indian football.

But there was a problem. Most of the players were at the very end of their football career. So, they couldn’t offer much to the club. Now all the clubs know this. So, they are not going for big names. They are just going to sign some talented and young players who can offer much more to the club.

Marcus Mergulhao has come up with his top five picks of good foreign signings in ISL. We are going to see the players in details who can be a treat to watch this season.

Igor Angulo (FC Goa)

Igor Angulo has joined FC Goa this summer. The Spanish winger has played for LaLiga side Athletic Bilbao at the start of his career and has also represented Spain in U-19, U-21, and U-23 level.

Vicente Gomez (Kerala Blasters FC)

After spending his entire career in Spain playing for Las Palmas and Deportivo La Coruna, the Spanish midfielder has signed for Kerala Blasters FC this season.

Steven Taylor (Odisha FC)

Steven Taylor has spent 14 years of his senior football career in English Club Newcastle United and left the club in 2016. Last year he was playing for Wellington Phoenix and has decided to join Odisha FC this year.

Stephen Eze (Jamshedpur FC)

The Nigerian Centre Back joined Bulgarian First division team Lokomotiv Plovdiv in 2018. The 26-year-old defender has joined Jamshedpur FC this season.

Kai Havertz scores hat-trick as Chelsea thrash Barnsley by 6-0

0

What now seems like a routine victory for Chelsea in the EFL Cup, was actually a match that proved a lot of points. The most important one being that some were too quick to judge Kai Havertz.

The Blues’ record signing was the star of the night as he finished three very well taken chances. His last touch of the match brought him the first hat-trick of his senior career before he was replaced with the debuting Ben Chilwell.

While many doubted Mason Mount as well, the youngster was also among those who had a brilliant game. However, the same cannot be said for Barnsley goalkeeper Brad Collins, who made some serious errors throughout the game.

Tammy Abraham and Kai Havertz were clinical in their finishing, and ended up punishing him for his mistakes.

Chelsea looked very in-sync last night, and it could be a sign of things to come for Frank Lampard’s Chelsea.

A point to note is that this was the first time Kai Havertz played the number 10 role. Fans have been critical of Lampard for playing the German out wide or as a second striker. However, last night proved that the youngster has all the tools to succeed.

Lampard was very vocal about giving Havertz time to regain match fitness and adapt to the conditions in England. It now seems that the German has settled in, and is ready to go.

Chelsea will boast of an absolutely blistering attack when Hakim Ziyech and Christian Pulisic join Havertz and Werner up front. As of now, they are back in training but are not match fit yet.

Havertz has been compared to fellow German Michael Ballack, who had a similar game and impact at Chelsea. With the talent that Kai Havertz boasts, he could be Chelsea’s most valuable asset in the years to come as the Blues hope to challenge for the title soon.

Three new signings to look out for in the Premier League 2020/21 season

0

The new Premier League season is underway with a host of new and exciting players set to grace the stage. Chelsea, in particular, have spent large sums of money but there are also numerous other signings from the top and bottom of the league for fans to get excited about. We take a look at three of the most intriguing players to keep an eye out for in their maiden Premier League season.

Ferran Torres

Manchester City have been somewhat quiet in the transfer window by their own relative standards, but the signing of Ferran Torres promises a great deal. The highly-rated Spanish winger is only 20 years old but contributed 4 goals and 5 assists for Valencia in La Liga last season. Valencia’s financial troubles allowed City to pick the player up at the bargain price of £21 million and the player has since picked up his first cap for the senior national team. An explosive player with superb dribbling ability, Torres perhaps represents the ideal replacement for Leroy Sane in his style of play and future potential. Fans and neutrals alike will hope he can maximise the returns from his supreme talent on the Premier League stage.

James Rodriguez

The break-out star of the 2014 World Cup, James represents quite a coup for Everton following his time at European giants Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. Still just 29 years old, the Colombian has plenty of time to re-discover the huge ability which once made him one of the most sought-after talents in world football. James certainly showed flashes of brilliance in Everton’s victory against Tottenham Hotspur and the club appear to be in rude health as they sit at 11/4 in the latest odds on soccer matches to finish in the top six. Combined with the astute signings of Allan and Abdoulaye Doucore, Everton fans will be hopeful of challenging for the European spots under the masterful Carlo Ancelotti.

Rodrigo

The Spanish striker has had an inauspicious start to life at Leeds after costing them a point away to Liverpool after giving a penalty away in the closing minutes. Despite this, the promoted side’s capture of the Spanish national side’s starting striker is certainly a huge transfer market achievement for the Yorkshire side. Although his statistics don’t suggest he is going to be prolific, he scored 4 goals in 27 games last season, his hold-up play and endurance are likely to be ideally suited to Marcelo Bielsa’s style of play. Indeed, Patrick Bamford (the man Rodrigo will aim to usurp upfront) has been more valued by the club for his tireless running and link-up play. Nevertheless, Rodrigo should prove to be an intriguing addition to the team and should bring some extra class to Bielsa’s Leeds side.

The Premier League is welcoming a number of exciting imports this signing; notably Kai Havertz and Timo Werner for Chelsea at the top end of the table and the likes of Timothy Castagne and Fabio Silva further down the table. Some players will adapt faster than others, but there will certainly be a number of stand-out performances from these Premier League debutants. Time will tell if any of them can establish themselves as legends of the English game.

Rugby Africa concludes Biggest Solidarity Campaign in its history

0

COVID-19 relief campaign supported 31 member unions through a dedicated solidarity fund

In June Rugby Africa announced the immediate release of EUR 170,000.00 from a solidarity fund for its member unions. The Rugby Africa Executive Committee had initiated the relief campaign given the current health crisis and the immediate impact it had on the rugby community at large. 31 rugby federations received the Rugby Africa solidarity fund and used it towards distribution of emergency food packages, medical support as well as personal protective equipment such as masks, hand sanitiser gels, etc. for clubs and as players in their respective countries.

All member federations were eligible for this financial aid to support their rugby communities. The federations could use the funds depending on their needs, while the financial aid granted considered the size of the federation and its level of development.

The countries of the following rugby unions received grants from the Rugby Africa solidarity fund: Algeria, Benin, Botswana, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cameroon, Congo Brazzaville, Côte d’Ivoire, Democratic Republic of Congo, Egypt, Eswatini (Swaziland), Gabon, Ghana, Guinea, Kenya, Lesotho Rugby Union, Madagascar, Mali, Mauritania, Mauritius Rugby, Namibia, Niger, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Togo, Tunisia, Uganda, Zambia, Zimbabwe.

The feedback of Lesotho Rugby Union’s President Mr Fetang Selialia is exemplary: “The unveiling of the solidarity grant couldn’t have come at a much needed time as we saw the need to donate food parcels to our rugby playing vulnerable children who were in need of food. There was also a further need to provide the protective utilities to our rugby players to help minimize the spread of COVID-19 within our rugby fraternity.”

Jean-Baptiste Gobelet, Director of Rugby at the Mauritius Rugby Union added: “This campaign led by Rugby Africa has had a considerable impact in Mauritius. The Rugby Federation is the only sports federation in the country that provided social assistance of this magnitude during the COVID-19 period. It was necessary for rugby to proof our values and solidarity. At the same time, the federation quickly put in place a plan to resume rugby activities in July and August to maintain links with all members. Children and their families are grateful for this support and rugby has conquered the heart of social network of Mauritius even more. In the coming months we will continue our work in the different regions of Mauritius make rugby more popular in schools. Rugby has a role to play that goes beyond sport, it has a true social vector which will attract more and more young people to practice of this sport.”

The Executive Committee of Rugby Africa: “The Rugby Africa solidarity fund was a unique measure to fight the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. With the fund we wanted to send a signal of support and hope to our member unions in times of adversity. The rugby family has been severely challenged by the crisis, but as a community we stand strong together. It was enlightening to see the roll out of this campaign and how the unions followed the due diligence process. Our development work and strategy obviously go way beyond the solidarity fund which was a unique project in the history of Rugby Africa so far. All across the continent countries return step by step to train and play rugby in line with the government and health guidelines. Health and safety for all remain the highest priority, but Rugby Africa is getting ready to return to action.”

PUBG Ban in India is going to last for now

Maximum of the Indian youths are still waiting for the unban of PUBG Mobile. Earlier, there was news in the market saying the PUBG Corporation is in talks with Reliance to relaunch in our country. The authority also broke its ties with the Chinese firm, Tencent, considering the Indo-China clash. But now, it seems the PUBG fans need to move on.

As you know, on 2nd September, the Indian Government banned a total of 118 applications that include PUBG Mobile and PUBG Mobile Lite. As per the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MEITY) they took this step considering the national security.

According to the information collected by InsideSport, there is no activity within the Ministry to revoke the ban from any of the applications as the situation has not changed yet. Besides, sacrificing the tie with Tencent is not enough for the PUBG Corporation to bring its games back on track.

by – PUBG

The Ministry Source said, “Their is no discussion with-in the ministry officially to revoke ban on any of the apps listed in the ban list. We will stay away from making any comment on any specific company or app”,

A few days ago PUBG Corporation, in a statement, said, “they will reach out to the government to find a solution” but the information, given to InsideSports, indicates no representation, either by PUBG Corp. or any other Indian company, has been made yet to the ministry to lift the ban on the game.

In conclusion, the news is not good for Indian PUBG fans. There is hardly a chance for PUBG to relaunch in India. The gamers need to move on and try some other alternatives.

Samsung Galaxy S21 spotted at Geekbench listing

0

According to some recent reports, Samsung Galaxy S21 has been spotted at the Geekbench website, but the highlight is this phone will not be powered by the Exynos 1000 chipset. Some leaked reports claim that the Exynos 1000 will be quite faster than the Qualcomm Snapdragon 875 SoC. Apart from this, whatever results we’ve got from the Geekbench listing regarding the upcoming S21 flagship of Samsung are tangibly lower.

The model number we’ve witnessed there is the SM-G996B. This model number is likely to be the Euro version of the Samsung Galaxy S21+. This smartphone is expected to be powered by an Exynos 2100 chipset, which is completely different from the previous one. So, here the comparison begins with the rumoured scores of the Exynos 1000 and Snapdragon 875.

This phone is expected to have 8GB of RAM as the 6.77 GB figure likely omits the memory reserved for the GPU. Now the current Samsung Galaxy S20+ 4G version has the same RAM capacity of 8GB, whereas the 5G version of this phone has the RAM capacity of 12GB. The four A55 cores in the Exynos 990 run at 2.0 GHz whereas the Exynos 1000 is said to feature the new Cortex-X1 core.

As of now, the specifications of the Galaxy S21+ have not been confirmed by the company. Still, it is expected that the Galaxy S21+ will run on the latest Android 11 OS (almost confirmed). Regarding the battery, this phone is expected to have a battery backup of 4,800mAH, a 300 mAh bump over the S20+.

Here’s why Marcus Rashford is an absolute inspiration

0

The Manchester United star was awarded the PFA Merit Award this year, in recognition for his actions off the pitch. Marcus Rashford is a perfect example of what it truly means to be a good human being above all.

Despite earning millions at United, the player has not forgotten his roots. Most importantly, the player realizes the importance of giving back to society. To try and make the world a better place is something that all of us can try to do.

However, it is something truly inspirational when successful people stay humble and true to their beginnings.

Rashford is a long-running advocate for the eradication of child food poverty. The forward regularly takes to Twitter to voice his opinions and share the stories of the underprivileged. Over the last 24 hours, the United forward has been very active on Twitter, sharing the following messages to all his followers.

Despite the long-standing rivalry between United and Liverpool, Rashford has the maturity to realize that there are things bigger than football.

He tweeted: “I do what I do for Liverpool as much as anywhere. Children all over the UK are crying out for our help. This is much bigger than me, than football, than politics. It’s time we all started listening, instead of clouding our views will allegiances and rivalries..”

Arguably the most powerful point of all is the 22-year-old’s realization that he has a voice that is heard. And the player uses his voice to echo the concerns of those who do not have the means to help themselves.

The England international’s restless efforts to combat childhood food poverty have been recognized by London Mayor Sadiq Khan on Twitter. The Mayor of the capital sent this message to the young man, appreciating him for his efforts:

It is time that we set aside our differences and work as one for the collective benefit of everybody in our society.
