Tytuł: ffence and thats a good Wiadomość wysłana przez: zxlbxj1 Grudnia 15-12-2018, 01:34:50 With the European transfer window opening up again on January 1, TSN.ca takes a daily look around the soccer world at the latest rumours and reports heading into what is sure to be another busy period of transactions. Dutch Devil? Manchester United has been attached to Netherlands international midfielder Wesley Sneijder for the better part of the last decade, but The Daily Mail reports that the 30-year-olds move to Old Trafford could finally be in the offing. With his Turkish side Galatasaray struggling with financial issues, Sneijder could be one of the high profile players sold by the Istanbul club as a means to shed debt. The allure of United would be obvious for Sneijder, who would be afforded the chance to again play under his former national manager in Louis van Gaal. The former Real Madrid and Inter man has been with Galatasaray since January 2013 and reports of him being unsettled in Turkey have been numerous over the past two years. United wouldnt be alone in their pursuit of the £9 million-rated Sneijder, though. Southampton, with another manager with whom Sneijder is also familiar in Ronald Koeman, are also reportedly interested in the player with an eye to solidify their run for a European place next season. In 12 league games this season, Sneijder has three goals. Galatasaray sits second in the table, one point behind leaders Besiktas. Got heem? Add Bayern Munich to the list of teams interested in Liverpool winger Raheem Sterling. The 20-year-old England internationals future has come into question as of late with the Reds yet to secure him with a long-term contract extension and reported suitors Real Madrid and Chelsea waiting in the wings. Bild (in German) reports that Pep Guardiolas side views Sterling as a Plan B to Borussia Dortmunds Marco Reus. The German international reportedly has a £20 million release clause that Bayern intends to meet this summer, but Dortmund would be loath to deal with their German rivals, especially after losing star striker Robert Lewandowski to the Bundesliga champions on a free this past offseason and Mario Goetze the season before. Reus, himself, could refuse a move to Bayern out of loyalty to Dortmund and instead move outside of the Bundesliga with the likes of Manchester United, Arsenal and Real Madrid having previously shown interest. With Luis Suarezs move to Barcelona, a series of injuries to Daniel Sturridge and Mario Balotellis goal-less drought, Liverpool has been, perhaps, overly reliant on Sterling to produce offence this season, something that the player might be able to use as leverage in any upcoming contract negotiations. Staying Fer Now? Fernando Torres will not be leaving Milan in January. Well, at least Rossoneri vice-president Adriano Galliani doesnt think he will be. I don’t think he will leave, even if the market is unpredictable, Galliani said. Torres has been unlucky. He has struggled with injuries and is coming from a different league. We need to be patient. Currently in the first season of a two-year loan with the 18-time Scudetto winners, the 30-year-old striker has struggled mightily since coming over from Chelsea, where he fell behind Diego Costa, Loic Remy and Didier Drogba in the forward pecking order. Torres has netted just once in 10 appearances for Milan, currently sixth in the Serie A table and 12 points adrift of leaders Juventus. There has been talk in recent days of a return to one of his former clubs in Liverpool or Atletico Madrid. Air Max Outlet Goedkoop (http://www.airmaxoutlet.nl/) .

Theres more to the Kings than banging bodies. They take a toll mentally on their opponents.NEW YORK – The Blue Jays entered Thursdays series finale at Yankee Stadium losers of eight of their last 11 games. Theyd dropped 15 in a row in the Bronx dating back to 2012 and had seen their lead over their pinstriped rivals in the American League East dwindle to two and a half games. This is a slump. Its lasted for about two weeks. The downturn comes on the heels of a terrific May, when Toronto won 21 of 30 games and Edwin Encarnacion captured the imagination of fans with his 16-home run month. This is not is the end of the world, nor does this slump suggest a long-term trend. This is on the offence and thats a good thing because theres too much talent in the Blue Jays lineup for the widespread malaise to continue. To wit: The starting pitching has been fine. You could say its been good and you wouldnt be wrong. In the last 11 games, Jays starters have allowed four or more earned runs only twice and have pitched to a staff ERA of 3.71. The starting pitching was supposed to be the weakness. So far it has held up. The Jays have hit only four home runs in their last 11 games. Not surprisingly, three of the home runs came in two of the three victories. Toronto continues to lead baseball with 93 team home runs, which is crucial to the clubs attack. Of the 338 runs the Jays have scored this season, 147 (43.4 per cent) have come via the long ball. Jose Bautista hasnt hit a home run in 11 games, his longest power drought of the season. Hes still hitting for a respectable average, .275 with five of his 11 hits going for doubles, but the Jays miss his power bat as the club struggles, having scored three or fewer runs eight times in the span. This is a phase, both for the individual and for the ballclub, Bautista said, that was bound to happen. "If you can execute every single day for 162, youd probably win 140 games," said Bautista. "We dont expect to execute every single day. But we do have to pick it up. Its one thing, were running into some St. Louis good pitching, soome other pitching staffs.dddddddddddd I dont want to speak badly or worse about the Yankees or the Orioles but its not the same. We faced much better pitching at home during the last homestand than we have on this road trip, except for Tanaka, who did a tremendous job. So we shouldve won some of these games that we lost." It hasnt helped, either, that Edwin Encarnacion has hit only one home run in the last 11 games. "Weve lacked some timely hitting," said Bautista. "Our pitching has been there enough, I think, that we shouldve won some of these games that weve lost. We just need to keep going on offence. We got really hot at one point and kind of hitting a little cold spurt now. Weve just got to overcome it and not get 10 hits a day but get them when you get the baserunners on." Bautista has repeatedly acknowledged hes bought in to hitting coach Kevin Seitzers philosophy of using all fields. The slugger has become a better all round hitter. His 1,000th career big league hit, achieved in the eighth inning of Wednesday nights loss, was a double to right field. That alone would have been a story last season. This year its commonplace. "I think Im more aware of some situations where people are going to keep challenging me inside, especially when Im behind in the count or theres the right situation when theres a defensive shift," said Bautista. "Why not try to go over there and it ended up working out again? But the previous at bat I tried going that way and I hit into a force out, when Melky got forced out at second. So it works sometimes, sometimes it doesnt." Its difficult to watch a team go into a funk, especially when it had become customary for fans to watch Toronto out-slug and, often, out-pitch opponents.
