This article is part of Football FanCast’s Loan Watch series, which takes a closer look at those players who are aiming to galvanise their careers away from the spotlight of their parent club.

Wolverhampton Wanderers may be on track to find the next Morgan Gibbs-White as one of their promising young midfielders has been impressing out on loan this season.

Club owners Fosun would be delighted if such a statement could become a reality as they have heavily invested in the academy set up in pursuit of achieving their long-term ambition to build from within.

Gibbs-White is the only player amongst the first-team fold to fully come from Wolves’ youth system, having made 64 appearances since his debut in January 2017.

But that could change in the near future.

Ryan Giles has been at League One outfit Shrewsbury Town this season, gaining valuable experience and learning the trade under former Wolves captain Sam Ricketts – who better?

The 19-year-old actually made his debut against the Salop when the two teams met in the FA Cup in January this year, and his performances at New Meadow have earned him recent call-ups to the England U20 squad.

The fact he’s managed that achievement despite playing at a lower level tells you all you need to know about his glowing abilities.

Often loan players are handed a ridiculous squad number at their temporary club as if it were a sign that they weren’t actually one of their own, but that’s different to Giles as he’s clinched the number 11 shirt at Shrewsbury.

Comparisons can be made to Gibbs-White despite playing relatively different roles as Giles is described as a ‘lightning-quick’ orthodox winger, which is similar to the man he’s only one day older than as the Wolves first-teamer has a ‘good turn of pace and balance.’

Primarily a central midfielder, Gibbs-White has sometimes been called upon to play in a front-three out wide when Nuno Santo elects for a 3-4-3 system, so the two are more comparable than you may think.

Giles is only going from strength to strength on loan, so he seems the most viable option to make a transition into the senior setup ahead of next season, especially as he has been named in such squads in the past.

He is also benefitting from Shrewsbury’s system being ever so similar to Wolves’, he said: “Shrewsbury play the exact same formation as Wolves, it’s mirrored. It’s good because I’m not going away, playing a different position, and coming back to Wolves, having not played the role for a year.”

While Ricketts is clearly proving to be a significant influence on his early career, which will only bear fruit for the Premier League club in the future. On the ex-Wolves man’s impact, Giles added: “He’s brilliant. He’s a fantastic football coach and a role model off the pitch. He’s had a lot of experience throughout his career and can give advice.”

If Fosun want that goal of theirs put in motion, then starting off with this 19-year-old can do no harm, especially as he carries much of the early career prospects that Gibbs-White once had.

رفض فابيو باراتيتشي، المدير الرياضي لنادي يوفنتوس الإيطالي، الإفصاح عما إذا كان حارس مرمى ميلان جيانلويجي دوناروما هدفًا لليوفي.

ويلاقي يوفنتوس نظيره ميلان بعد قليل في منافسات الدوري الإيطالي، في تمام التاسعة إلا ربع مساءً بتوقيت القاهرة.

هذه ليست مجرد مواجهة بين الأربعة الأوائل، ولكن أيضًا مواجهة هامة في التأهل لمنافسات دوري أبطال أوروبا.

وقال باراتيتشي عن حفاظ يوفنتوس على التتويج باللقب لتسع سنوات متتالية في الأعوام الماضية: “العقد هو خلود في كرة القدم، هذه مباراة مهمة، وهناك مباراتان آخرتان بعد ذلك، لذلك لن يتم تحديد أي شيء الليلة بطريقة أو بأخرى، لكنها مهمة”.

وأضاف في تصريحات لـ”سكاي إيطاليا” بشأن الشائعات حول دوناروما: “الشائعات ليست فقط على دوناروما، سوق الانتقالات يستمر على مدار السنة الآن، خاصة بالنسبة لوسائل الإعلام، لقد اعتدنا على الثرثرة المستمرة حول العديد من اللاعبين المختلفين، والآن دوناروما”.

سُئل باراتيتشي بشكل مباشر عما إذا كان دوناروما هدفًا ليوفنتوس، وأجاب: “دوناروما لاعب جيد للغاية، إنه ينتمي إلى ميلان والليلة نحن نركز على المباراة”.

وواصل: “لقد اتخذنا القرارات دائمًا جنبًا إلى جنب مع الرئيس، مع بافل نيدفيد، نناقش الأمر بيننا وعندما يتم اتخاذ قرار، يتشاركه الجميع”.

كانت هناك أيضًا اقتراحات بأن باراتيتشي قد يكون في طريقه للخروج من يوفنتوس، وعلّق: “كلنا نركز بشدة على مباراة الليلة، نطلب من لاعبينا تجاهل ثرثرة الانتقالات وعلينا أن نفعل الشيء نفسه بأنفسنا، لم تكن هذه مشكلة ولن تكون مشكلة على الإطلاق بشأن عقدي”.

Aston Villa midfielder Jack Grealish has been speaking out in praise of a current Scottish Premiership player, suggesting that the Celtic man would be more than capable of being a success in the Premier League.

What did he say?

Speaking to the Daily Record regarding Celtic midfielder Callum McGregor, Grealish said:

“If he ever did come to the Premier League, 100 per cent he’d be a success. He is playing Champions League or Europa League every season, he plays in the Scotland team every single time, so I can’t see why he’d want to leave.

“But the Premier League is regarded by most as the best league in the world, so you never know. But if he comes here, he will be a success”.

Premier League calling?

McGregor, 26, played with Villa’s skipper Grealish whilst on loan at Notts County during the 2013/14 campaign, where he shone in League One, scoring 14 goals in 41 appearances.

The academy product has become an extremely important part of Neil Lennon’s side, having made 250 appearances for the Hoops since coming through the youth system.

The midfielder had been linked with a move to Brendan Rodgers’ Leicester City, and on the basis of his domestic and European experience having played in both the Champions League and the Europa League, a move to the English top-flight could be the next step in McGregor’s career.

Despite signing a new Celtic deal since the rumoured summer interest, McGregor would represent a player with proven experience who has played in England before, albeit in League One.

Having amassed six goals and 16 assists across all competitions last season, he could well be worth the punt for a club in the English top flight seeking to add output to their midfield.

Former Sunderland player Stephen Elliott has discussed the club’s current predicament and has pointed the finger of blame at one individual.

What did he say?

Given the Black Cats’ current plight it would be fair to examine the several areas of the club that are failing, from the players to the manager to the board.

Elliott, however, seems to think Stewart Donald is mostly responsible for the current situation, and given he only recently decided to change the manager, that is a fair assessment.

The former striker suggested the owner has made numerous risks which haven’t paid off, and now the club is struggling as a result on and off the field, with negative results and declining attendances – just 26,358 watched the defeat to Burton on Tuesday.

Writing on Twitter, Elliott said:

Chance to reconcile mistakes?

Donald’s popularity with fans seems to be on a permanent decline and despite getting rid of the much-maligned Jack Ross things still haven’t taken a turn for the better.

On paper, the experience and know-how of Phil Parkinson seemed like it would be a good fit to rally the club and get everyone looking upwards, but his tenure simply hasn’t worked out.

He is on a six-match winless run with his only wins coming against Tranmere and Southend, teams which lie 20th and 23rd in the table respectively.

Sacking Parkinson would appease fans and giving a new boss, such as the popular Kevin Phillips, money for transfers, could see fan opinion sway back in the owner’s favour.

Whether he has the financial power to make that happen is another question, but one thing is for certain, and that is that he faces the prospect of things getting worse if the current situation prevails.

More fans could be turned away and the appeal for players to join could decrease significantly – making the prospect of getting out of League One all the more difficult.

وسينتهي موسم كريستال بالاس يوم الأحد المقبل أمام ليفربول، لتكون المباراة الأخيرة لـ هودجسون في مسيرته التدريبية، حيث قرر الاعتزال.

وحرص هودجسون على توديع الجماهير التي تواجدت في ملعب مباراة الأمس، بعد قرار عودتهم بشكل جزئي إلى الملاعب.

وقال هودجسون في تصريحات نشرتها شبكة “بي بي سي” العالمية: “أشعر بخيبة أمل لأننا لم نحقق نتيجة أفضل الليلة، كنا الأفضل في الشوط الثاني”.

وأضاف: “كنا نرغب كثيرًا في إنهاء الموسم هنا بنتيجة جيدة وجعل جماهيرنا أكثر سعادة قليلًا، كان من الرائع رؤيتهم مرة أخرى، الضجيج الذي أحدثوه والدعم الذي قدموه كان من الدرجة الأولى وحفز اللاعبين”.

وواصل: “كان تدريب هذا النادي امتيازًا حقيقيًا بالنسبة لي، لقد أنعم الله على بمجموعة من اللاعبين المتحمسين، كنا قريبين جدًا من الفوز الليلة”.

وتابع: “سأفتقد الجميع، سأفتقد كرة القدم، لقد كانت رحلة رائعة بالنسبة لي وقد استمتعت حقًا بالسنوات الأربع الماضية، أعلم أنني سأغادر النادي في مكان جيد للغاية، وسنشاهد الكثير من كرة القدم الجيدة في الدوري الموسم المقبل”.

Marcelo Bielsa has been something of a sideshow attraction for the British media since his arrival at Elland Road in the summer of 2018.

Indeed, the Argentine has been a fascinating character in the English game over the past 18 months or so, but that fascination seems to be calming as of late.

We’re rarely seeing long features about the Argentine’s life and his press conferences are much more straightforward.

Phil Hay believes that this is down to the fact that everyone has become accustomed to the 64-year-old’s presence and that results are now the most important thing at Leeds.

[ad_pod ]

What’s been said then?

The Athletic journalist was talking on the aptly named The Phil Hay Show (28/11 15:50)

“We’re genuinely down to brass tax now, it’s all about results and promotion.” Hay said.

“That isn’t to say that it wasn’t last season, but there was some sort of magical element of him coming in and doing what he did with the squad that most of us would have taken to the abattoir six months earlier.

“You get used to it, it becomes familiar, so you start to take it slightly for granted, and I think people are now in the habit of expecting his team to do what they do

“Even in his press conferences, last season there was loads of philosophy and loads of fascination about his past career and his life.

“Nowadays it’s down to team news and not a huge amount else and he knows if it doesn’t happen this season he’ll be gone, and if it doesn’t happen this season there’ll be players at the club who will be gone, very good players.”

All or nothing

Hay’s comments seem to indicate that this has to be it for Leeds United.

The Whites may be waiting years to have another opportunity like this if they’re not promoted this season as The Athletic’s Leeds United correspondent has predicted the Whites’ squad to be torn apart if they don’t go up.

Not only will numerous players leave, but he’s stated that Bielsa will go, and that is more damaging than anything.

Promotion is obviously the goal every season, but this year it’s that much more worrying for Leeds if they don’t achieve it.

If you add to that the potential investment of QSI and it wouldn’t be a complete surprise if their takeover plans hinged on Premier League status.

In other news, a Leeds journalist has claimed that one loanee’s Elland Road career is over.

This article is part of Football FanCast’s In Numbers series, which takes a statistical look at performances, season-long form and reported transfer targets… 

Wolverhampton Wanderers kept their unbeaten run ticking on Sunday afternoon, which meant they matched a club-record streak from 1973.

The west Midlanders needed to ride their luck slightly as Sheffield United really should have scored more than just their second-minute opener from Lys Mousset – the visitors recorded more shots on target with four.

Right wing-back Matt Doherty turned out to be the saving grace as he headed home a cross from striker Raul Jimenez halfway through the second period.

It means Wolves are now unbeaten in nine matches in the Premier League.

The recent form of their goalscorer has been imperative to that run continuing, none more so than in the last three games.

The 27-year-old, who is valued at £13.5m by Transfermarkt, endured a somewhat slow start to his campaign having suffered ongoing knee problems right up until last month.

But Doherty has appeared to elevate his game back to how Wolves fans know him, or even in some circumstances, well past that.

In the build-up to the January transfer window, the club have been linked to Royal Antwerp right-back Aurelio Buta, and while it is no secret that they need some added depth in the role especially with Adama Traore lighting it up further forward, he could be seen as a viable option in his own right.

The Portugal U20 international has progressed through every age group for his nation and was named in the European U19 Championship Team of the Tournament for 2016.

Doherty is now in the form of his life after netting his 20th goal in four seasons, surely he has been spurred on by the prospect of his manager Nuno Santo adding some healthy competition to his position.

Per SofaScore, Irishman amassed 100 touches on the ball on Sunday and three successful dribbles but his performances over the last three games up that onto another notch.

He has managed two key passes, six tackles, four clearances and has won a total of 15 aerial duels, via WhoScored, proving to be a nuisance at either end of the pitch.

Doherty’s partnership with Traore along the right flank has been imperative to Nuno’s fortunes.

Long may it continue.
