Barca set to sign Memphis Depay on deadline day transfer

Barca’s summer transfer window has seen them get rid of a lot of their older players. However, transfer deadline day is upon us and is set to bring good news to the fans of Barcelona. 

Barca’s transfer target of the summer, Memphis Depay is all set to join the Blaugrana, and the deal will be completed in the next few hours. 

Ronald Koeman knows Depay from their days together in the Dutch national team. The new manager certainly had a significant role to play in convincing the player to come to Spain. 

With the loss of star striker Luis Suarez to Atletico Madrid, Barcelona desperately need Depay to ensure a good performance in the long season ahead. 

The Dutch forward has impressed at Lyon and almost made his disappointing spell at Manchester United seem like a million years away. 

Personal terms had been agreed between the player and Barcelona about 20 days ago. The Catalonian club is set to submit a bid for a sum of €25 million pounds upfront, with add-ons raising the sum a little more. 

While the transfer had been heavily rumored throughout the summer, Lyon President Juninho has now seemingly confirmed that Depay will leave the club before the transfer window closes today.

According to Fabrizio Romano, the Lyon Director said that the player “is most likely to go” after confirming that personal terms had been agreed between the two parties and that there were talks with Barcelona. 

The statement is ironic considering Lyon suggested that Houssem Aouar and Memphis were both set to remain with the club for the 20/21 season. However, the latest developments have proved that Lyon’s stance is not rock-solid. 

Memphis will be signing a 5 year deal with Barcelona which will see his contract run through 2025 as he reunites with his former international manager. 

According to Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona must sell before they buy. Ousmane Dembele is rumoured to be on his way out of the club with Manchester United reported be the interested party. Barcelona will accept 60 million euros for the French forward. 

While the deal is still on, it is unclear as to whether Manchester United will go for a loan deal or sign him permanently.

PREMIER LEAGUE 2020-21: Matchday 4 review

0

One can never truly call a football match with absolute certainty. Matchday 4 of the Premier League proved just that, with multiple shocking results and goals flying across all ends. 

Red card drama, penalty decisions, and brilliant performances on the pitch, this week had it all. If you didn’t keep tabs on this week’s action, you missed out big time. 

Results

  • Chelsea 4-0 Crystal Palace 
  • Everton 4-2 Brighton 
  • Leeds United 1-1 Manchester City 
  • Newcastle United 3-1 Burnley 
  • Southampton 2-0 West Brom 
  • Leicester City 0-3 West Ham United 
  • Arsenal 2-1 Sheffield United 
  • Wolves 1-0 Fulham 
  • Manchester United 1-6 Spurs
  • Aston Villa 7-2 Liverpool 

Match of the Week

Aston Villa 7-2 Liverpool

Fantasy teams were stumped, bets were lost, and Villa fans were in 7th heaven as the hosts humbled the Premier League Champions 7-2. 

Ollie Watkins did the damage early with a first-half hat-trick, two of his goals assisted by captain Jack Grealish. John McGinn managed to make it 4 from well outside the box.

The visitors were 4-1 down at the break, and despair awaited them in the second half as well. Grealish assisted Ross Barkley’s first goal for Villa shortly after the break before scoring two of his own. 

It was a shambolic performance by Liverpool, and Alisson’s absence was strongly felt at the back. Especially after Adrian gifted Watkins his first goal, 4 minutes into the match. 

Salah pulled back 2 for the Merseyside club, but it could only go so far as to maintain the last shred of dignity for the Reds. 

Honorable Mention: Manchester United 1-6 Spurs

Imagine an intense clash between two of the big six. Now flip the script on it’s head. 

That is exactly how I would describe the game between Spurs and United. 

33973102 8804137 image a 83 1601835346458 PREMIER LEAGUE 2020-21: Matchday 4 review

Martial won a penalty in 29 seconds, and Bruno Fernandes did what he does best from the spot, putting United in the lead two minutes in. 

However, quickfire goals and horrible defending from United made it 1-3 in no time. 

Martial was shown a red card for slapping Lamela in the box after a struggle before a corner. 

https://youtu.be/WCxaz4i_pmQ

Things only went downhill for the hosts, with more horrible defending resulting in 6 goals conceded at the Theatre of Dreams. 

Player of the Week

Jack Grealish

I’ll admit to the fact that I had a tough time choosing the MOTW and POTW for matchday 4. 

While most would give the title to Ollie Watkins for his hat-trick against the Champions, or to Son for two goals and an assist despite not being fully fit, it goes to Grealish from my side. 

The Villa captain was all over the place, making key interceptions and playing key passes all over the 90 mins. He assisted two of Watkins’s 3, before netting two of his own in the second half. 

His overall impact on the game was too much to be ignored. And that is the reason why he is matchday 4’s POTW. 

Shockers of the Week 

  • West Ham netting 3 past hosts Leicester City. Particularly shocking given the Foxes’ current form. 
  • David Luiz not seeing red for a shirt pull on a free Oliver Burke. 
  • The comedy show of defence put on by United, captained by the world’s most expensive centre-back. 
  • Maguire pulling off Luke Shaw from the challenge in the penalty box to gift Tottenham the equaliser. 
  • Eric Bailly picking woeful passes to gift Kane a goal after the sending off. 
  • Villa netting 7 past Premier League Champions Liverpool. 
  • Adrian’s luck, with 3 deflected goals of the 7.
  • The first error from Adrian to gift Watkins the first goal of the match.

Memory Chipmaker Kioxia and Sony are Seeking for US Approval to Supply to Huawei: Report

0

According to the reports of Nikkei on Sunday, famous Japanese company Sony and memory chip maker Kioxia are seeking the approval of the US to supply to Huawei. As per reports, both the companies have already applied for the US approval. Regarding some other technology companies such as the Intel Corp have recently received the licenses from the US authorities.

The main reason behind all these formalities is the US-China tie-up, which is at their worst in decades. Whether it is for the COVID-19 or any cybercrime issues, like data leaking or any other staff, the US government does not want to take any chance regarding the security of his nation. Moreover, the US government has been pushing governments around to world to squeeze out Huawei. Because they think that Huawei would transfer all the users’ data to the Chinese government for espionage.

Before all these happenings, Huawei was one of the top brands which used Sony’s image sensors for smartphones. On the other hand, Kioxia Holdings is the world’s No. 2 maker of flash memory chips and most importantly, a Huawei supplier. They can not proceed in their business without the licenses from the US as they would face risk to their earnings, according to Nikkei.

Without Us licenses, Kioxia could trigger memory chip oversupply and lower prices. So, they will face a huge loss in the market. Its only three months left to complete 2020, as of now Kioxia has shelved a plan for a multi-billion dollar listing as US-China tensions cloud the global chip market.

East Bengal is considering the signing of Bournemouth midfielder Andrew Surman

ISL always give us some immensely talented foreign players to watch from very close. Some legends like Luis Garcia, Del Piero, Trezeguet, Roberto Carlos, and many others played in the league. Later on, Postiga, Anelka, Elano also played in this league. This year also the clubs are going to sign some talented foreigners who can offer much more to the club.

After a long wait, East Bengal is finally going to play in ISL this year. East Bengal has already started to make their team better for the ISL. They have signed some Indian talents like Lalramchullova, Mohammed Rafique, C.K.Vineeth, Balwant Singh, Cavin Lobo, Eugeneson Lyngdoh, Jeje, and many more.

As per reports, East Bengal is interested to sign Bournemouth midfielder Andrew Surman. The 34-year-old midfielder can be the marquee signing of East Bengal.

Bournemouth was relegated from Premier League last season and now playing Championship [Second division League of England].

Andrew Surman joined Bournemouth in 2013. He played 198 matches for the English side. He has scored 5 goals for them as well.

Andrew has also played for other Premier League clubs like Southampton and Wolves.

Though the transfer is not done yet. But if he finally arrives it will be a great addition to the East Bengal side. Because his experience and ability will surely be a valuable thing for East Bengal.

The addition of East Bengal makes Kolkata the first city to have two teams in ISL. East Bengal’s fierce rival Mohun Bagan AC has already merged with 3 times ISL champions ATK. They will play in ISL as ATK Mohun Bagan FC from this season.

ISL will enjoy one of the greatest rivalry in Asia from this season. The famous ‘Boro Match’ between these two rivals will surely add more excitement to the league.

ATK Mohun Bagan is already enriched with so many talented foreigners. East Bengal will surely need some of them to challenge their rivals and fight for the title.

IPL 2020 – DC vs RCB: Match preview, Fantasy XI team and Prediction

We have an outstanding match to kick your Monday blues off as Delhi Capitals take on Royal Challengers Bangalore.

Nobody would have thought these two teams to be the strongest coming into IPL 2020. However, both of these teams have proven everybody wrong and are eyeing their maiden IPL title this year.

RCB is coming off a dominating win over Rajasthan Royals. Delhi Capitals, on the other hand, are coming off a good win over Kolkata Knight Riders. Both teams have won three of their four matches.

Royal Challengers Bangalore

Royal Challengers Bangalore would be extremely happy about how they started the season and especially their last match. They are coming off a clinical performance over Rajasthan Royals. Youngster Devdutt Padikkal has been the find of the season so far for the RCB. He has scored fifties in three of the four matches. He takes off some pressure from Aaron Finch as well. However, RCB would be even happier as skipper Virat Kohli is back in form! He scored a match-winning 72 off just 53 balls to stamp his authority.

Their bowling looked great as well. Navdeep Saini once again is picking up the responsibility of bowling in death overs. Yuzvendra Chahal looked phenomenal as he picked up three wickets. Washington Sundar was economical as well.

(PC- Outlook India)

Delhi Capitals

Capitals are coming off an impressive win over Kolkata Knight Riders. They put up a massive score of 228 runs! However, on a pitch like Sharjah, that can be chased as well. Openers Prithvi Shaw and Shikhar Dhawan played impressive knocks. Shaw scored 66 off just 41 balls. However, skipper Shreyas Iyer did what everybody expected from him, convert his start into a big score and he did the same. Iyer scored 88 runs off just 38 balls with a strike rate of 223! Rishabh Pant played a good cameo of 38 from 17 balls.

Even though KKR was able to score 210 runs, Capitals’ bowling was good keeping in mind the Sharjah pitch. Amit Mishra has been really impressive picking up wickets at regular intervals in the absence of Ashwin. Harshal Patel took 2 important wickets. Anrich Nortje again bowled superb to pick up 3 wickets and take the side home.

814061 shreyas iyer afp 1 IPL 2020 – DC vs RCB: Match preview, Fantasy XI team and Prediction

Fantasy XI team

SHREYAS IYER (9.5) (C) – Shreyas Iyer has looked phenomenal in this IPL. However, in his last match, he pushed it a notch higher by scoring 88 off just 38 balls. He’ll be our captain.

VIRAT KOHLI (10.5) (VC) – Kohli is back in form and that’s bad news for bowlers! He’s always an inning away from gaining confidence. He’ll be our vice-captain.

AB DE VILLIERS (10) – AB de Villiers has been super consistent this IPL. It’s hard to believe that he has been out of action before the IPL.

RISHABH PANT (9.5) –  Pant has looked solid as well. It’s just a matter of fact he converts his thirties into fifties and beyond.

PRITHVI SHAW (8.5) – Shaw has been in great form and has scored two fifties in four games.

DEVDATT PADIKKAL (8.5) – Youngster Padikkal has impressed everyone with his batting this year. After top order fails, he’s had 3 fifties in four matches in the IPL.

YUZVENDRA CHAHAL (9) –  Chahal has developed into a phenomenal and intelligent limited over spinner. He picked up three valuable wickets in their last match. 

NAVDEEP SAINI (8.5) – Saini has looked in great form especially in the death overs. He has bowled well in death overs.

MARCUS STOINIS (8.5) – Stoinis gets 3-4 solid overs to bowl. He can pick important wickets and score important runs in the middle-order as well.

KAGISO RABADA (9.0) – Rabada has been in great form. He has been leading the DC bowling line-up really well.

ANRICH NORTJE (8) – Nortje has impressed everybody with his pacy deliveries which even touch up to 150 kmph. He has been a great late replacement in place of Chris Woakes.

PREDICTION

IPL matches have highly followed a trend of the team batting first winning the majority of the games. Therefore, whether batting first or chasing, RCB has a more versatile group of batsmen with Padikkal and de Villiers being in great form. Also, with Kohli back in form and death bowling being good lately, Royal Challengers Bangalore will probably defeat the Delhi Capitals.

Apple iPhone 13 and iPhone SE 3 appeared with mmWave 5G and more: Rumor

0

Apple has not even unveiled the iPhone 12 series of the year and we are here with the news of next-gen iPhone news. Rumors are spreading about the iPhone 13 series and the iPhone SE 3rd generation. The news has been shared from Mizuho Securities via Ross Young. In his tweet Ross has mention two seperate news about the future iPhone SE model that will be the successor of the iPhone 12 SE 2020 and on the other hand he has also mentioned some interesting news about the flagship iPhone 13 models.

Let’s start from the budget segment, the Apple iPhone SE 2020 is the new budget iPhone of this year. Now according to Ross 2021 will not be the year for another successor of the SE model, but it will be pushed back to 2022. So if you are wondering why push back more than a year then the reason is quite simple, Apple will integrate 5G connectivity with it, and 5G in a budget segment is not the style of Apple. Seems it will have a 6.06-inch LCD screen, dual rear camera system same as iPhone 11, no Face ID but a fingerprint sensor. 

Image

Now the flagship segment is more interesting because we will witness iPhone 13 series smartphones in four different variants. The four devices will launch in 2021 as the yearly launch of the brand. Apple iPhone 13 range will come with a 6.67-inch Pro Max, 6.06-inch Pro, 6.06-inch regular, and a 5.42-inch “mini” variant. According to Ross, all four devices will feature OLED panels. These OLED panels will be supplied by Samsung (SDC) for the Pro Max model, LG and BOE will provide for the Pro and regular smartphones, while SDC and LG for the “mini” iPhone 13.

The main attraction will be 5G connectivity for these devices and according to Ross, mmWave 5G and sub 6 GHz connectivity will be available on the iPhone 13 Pro Max and iPhone 13 Pro, while the other two devices will have to settle for sub 6 GHz 5G. Even the Pro models will have a variable refresh rate by utilizing ProMotion, triple rear cameras, and TOF sensors. Whereas, the non-Pro models will be settled with dual-rear camera modules.

0

Apple is trying to expand its portfolio as well as update its existing wide range of products. This year has been a tough one in all aspects for the Cupertino giant, and so it was not able to launch all of the products in time, but it plans to bring a lot of them in the coming months.

Reliable Apple tipster Komiya has shared a wide range of products that Apple will be launching in the next six months. As we see, the list features the iPhone 12 lineup, as usual, will be launched this month itself while the MacBook series is rumored to be launched next month itself.

We will also see the MacBook Pro 13 powered by Apple Silicon, and it was already reported earlier. On the other hand, there’s an interesting mention of the Mac Mini, and Apple Silicon will also power it.

The next interesting mention is both the HomePod (2nd gen), which is kind of expected. However, it seems Apple is keen on bringing a cut-down version of its flagship smart speaker in the HomePod Mini form. AirPods will also be upgraded alongside the upcoming AirPods Studio.

Apple AirPower and AirTag are two other interesting accessories Apple is currently working on. There’s the mention of a 24-inch iMac as well, along with Apple Pencil gen 3 and the Magic Keyboard gen 2.

As for now these are rumors but doesn’t seem impossible to me and sure we will see a lot of them actually making into the market but the exact timeline is hard to predict.
