Harry Kane claims he has no desire to leave Tottenham despite Real Madrid and Man United interest

Kampusbet  ~   " Harry Kane claims he has no desire to leave Tottenham despite Real Madrid and Man United interest "

Agen TangKasneT  ~  Harry Kane claims he has no desire to leave Tottenham – and has no need for a rest.

The Spurs and England striker, the subject of interest from Real Madrid as well as Manchester United, started on the bench for Sunday's FA Cup tie with Leicester – but netted an 89th minute equaliser to earn a 2-2 draw and score his 50th goal for the north London club.

Spurs are lacking back-up options for Kane but the 22-year-old is adamant that he is not suffering from burn-out and would have been happy to start against Leicester – who visit White Hart Lane again for a top-of-the-table Premier League clash on Wednesday night.

Kane also insists he is not looking for a move away, claiming the future is bright as Spurs make a serious bid for Champions League football.

Asked whether he saw his long-term future at Spurs, despite speculation linking him with Real Madrid, Kane said: “Yes definitely. There are always going to be rumours flying around but I'm happy here.

The club is in a good shape, we have a great future and I'm raring to go so we will see what happens.

“We have got a lot of young players raring to go who are getting better with each game.”

And asked whether he had needed a rest after two years of constant football, Kane said: “If I had been called upon to start the Cup match I would have been ready to go. It is down to the manager who he wants to play.

“When I was on the bench I was just hoping I could make an impact when I came on as the other subs did and thankfully I was able to get the goal.

Bandar Judi Online TangKasneT  ~   I was always going to take the penalty. Scoring a penalty in the last minute of the game to keep your team in the Cup, it is what football is all about.

“I think it is down to the staff at Tottenham, the manager and the fitness staff, that I have kept on playing.

“They condition every training session, they plan it week by week on what players need. If players need a rest they will do that, if players need to work hard they will do that as well.

“They are not afraid to take risks and it has been working for us.”

Kane believes Tottenham's controversial late winner will give them momentum heading in to their repeat league fixture – so crucial to both clubs' top-four ambitions.

He said: “I'm sure there will be changes in the teams but there is a bit of a momentum swing into our favour scoring a last-minute goal, we will take that momentum into Wednesday's game and go for the win.

“We have got a very good squad. You saw we made some changes in the Cup match and players came in and did very well. We have a busy period coming up now especially with the replay so we have got to keep working hard.

“If the gaffer doesn’t want to bring anyone in during the window, we are happy to go and fight for places in the league and fight for the cup competitions.

“The FA Cup is a big competition and we wanted to stay in it, but Wednesday is a big game, we are both near the top of the table so it will be a few-points swing if we win.”

Jonjo Shelvey in furious row with Swansea fan after Oxford defeat as passions boil over

Kampusbet  ~   " Jonjo Shelvey in furious row with Swansea fan after Oxford defeat as passions boil over "

Agen CasinO  ~   Jonjo Shelvey became involved in a post-match confrontation with a furious Swansea fan after the Welsh club's shock FA Cup defeat to Oxford.

The England midfielder went to applaud the visiting fans at the end of the game but then reacted to abuse from one supporter.

The former Liverpool star then appeared to gesticulate to meet the gentleman in the car park to continue the frank exchange of views.

The angry flashpoint at the Kassam Stadium could increase the chances of his departure with Crystal Palace interested in his £10m signature.

Interim manager Alan Curtis said: “I genuinely did not see it. I saw him go over to the fans and I thought everything was okay.

The suggestion is some of the crowd were having a go at him but, again, I genuinely did not see that.

"I heard the crowd sing his name a few times during the game so I do not know what the reaction was. I did not see it and have not had a chance to speak to him as he has gone for a drugs test.”

Bandar Judi Online CasinO  ~   For his first match after being give the manager's job till the end of the season, Curtis made 10 changes, including recalling Shelvey.

“His performance was a bit like the team, he started poorly and got better,” he said. “But we expect more from Jonjo, it is as simple as that. 

We know the ability he has got, and if he does not play at those standards everyone starts to point fingers. He is disappointed himself but that is something we have to work on.

The result is hugely disappointing, the only time we looked any sort of team was at 3-1 down, and it was far too late by then.

 All credit to Oxford, they were excellent today. We knew they were a good footballing team and we felt that might suit us.

"But they had more energy than us, they passed the ball better and we did not show anything like what we think we are capable of.

 We made changes today, but we made similar changes at Palace and got a battling draw. So today was hugely disappointing.”

Manchester City target Pep Guardiola under attack from Bayern Munich legend Lothar Matthaus

Kampusbet  ~   " Manchester City target Pep Guardiola under attack from Bayern Munich legend Lothar Matthaus "

Agen SbobeT  ~   Pep Guardiola has been accused of letting down Bayern Munich by focusing on his impending move to Manchester City.

Ex-Barcelona coach Guardiola is set to take over from Manuel Pellegrini this summer after revealing he will coach in England next season.

And now Bayern legend Lothar Matthaus has claimed the 44-year-old cannot be wholly focused on his final few months with the German giants, having had his head turned by City.

Matthaus said it was only natural Guardiola would be distracted by the challenge that awaits him in England, rather than concentrating on winning with Bayern.

"Guardiola can say what he wants," said Matthaus, writing in Sport Bild. "The squad-planning for Manchester City is too important for him to have his head 100 per cent with Bayern Munich. 

Guardiola will have five difficult months in Munich. There never was true love between Guardiola and the Bayern players."

Bandar Judi Online SbobeT  ~   City visit Norwich on Saturday in an all-Premier league FA Cup third round tie, with Pellegrini having told first-choice keeper Joe Hart he will only figure in Premier League and Champions League fixtures this season.

Pellegrini has put his trust in back-up Willy Caballero for the Capital One Cup (City are 2-1 down to Everton in the semi-finals after the first leg at Goodison Park) and FA Cup — meaning England No 1 Hart will be on the bench at Carrow Road.

Willy will play in both cups," said Pellegrini. "For Joe, it's very good to work one complete week.

"We're playing so many games it's impossible for the players to work.

"Joe is the same as every player in the squad. They all want to play in all the games. Everyone wants to do that, but as a manager I must decide what is best for the team.

"It's time for Joe to work and Willy to play. Willy is an experienced goalkeeper."

Liverpool's hamstring curse strikes AGAIN as Jordon Ibe is ruled out of Exeter FA Cup clash

Kampusbet  ~   " Liverpool's hamstring curse strikes AGAIN as Jordon Ibe is ruled out of Exeter FA Cup clash "

Agen MaxbeT  ~   Liverpool's hamstring curse has struck again with Jordon Ibe ruled out with injury.

The 20-year-old scored the winner in the Capital One Cup semi-final against Stoke in midweek.

But he complained of discomfort in the wake of the victory at the Britannia - and has been ruled out of Friday night's FA Cup third round game away to Exeter, reports the Liverpool Echo.

 

Ibe, who missed training at Melwood on Thursday, becomes the SEVENTH member of Jurgen Klopp's squad to be sidelined by a hamstring problem.

Liverpool are hopeful it is only a minor issue and have yet to rule him out of next week's Premier League clashes with Arsenal and Manchester United.

Philippe Coutinho, Dejan Lovren, Daniel Sturridge, Divock Origi, Jordan Rossiter and Martin Skrtel are all currently ruled out by the same complaint.

Bandar Judi Online MaxbeT  ~   That takes the total number of Liverpool players missing from action to an eye-watering 13.

Philippe Coutinho, Dejan Lovren, Daniel Sturridge, Divock Origi, Jordan Rossiter and Martin Skrtel are all currently ruled out by the same complaint.

That takes the total number of Liverpool players missing from action to an eye-watering 13.

Kolo Toure (cramp), Mamadou Sakho (knee), Jordan Henderson (heel), Danny Ings (knee) and Joe Gomez (knee) are also sidelined.

Jon Flanagan is still not available for first-team selection as he continues to build up his match fitness with the Under-21s after 18 months out.

Kolo Toure insists Liverpool team spirit can see them through growing injury problems

Kampusbet  ~   " Kolo Toure insists Liverpool team spirit can see them through growing injury problems "

Agen Klik4D  ~   Kolo Toure believes Liverpool’s injury hoodoo won’t become a crisis - if their youngsters can channel a consistent fighting spirit.

And the veteran defender joked they can take a lead from his performance at Stoke, which he reckons can earn him a move to Real Madrid!

Toure is the last man standing in the Reds central defence – and even then only on one leg, after an heroic performance at the Britannia Stadium where he led his side to victory despite being crippled by muscle problems.

The 34-year-old believes the time has come for a youthful Anfield squad to show their mettle by understanding they have to fight in every game, and not just when it suits them.

“We have a young team and they need to learn the past is gone and every performance is a challenge where you must give 100 per cent no matter who you play,” he explained.

“That is what happened to me in my career. You learn there is no time to relax. To come to Stoke and play like we did is one thing, but if we go to Exeter [for Friday night's FA Cup third round tie] and think it is going to be easy, then we will find ourselves in a tough game.

“We need that team spirit in every game. If you think you are going to win easily, then you have no chance because this is a very difficult league – anybody can win.

“We lost that game (at West Ham) because there was less commitment but at Stoke we showed great fighting spirit.”

Bandar Judi Online Klik4D  ~   Toure was at the heart of that spirit, and one moment where he dived headlong to block a ball despite being unable to run typified his performance. 

And when asked what he will do when his contract is up at the end of the season he joked: “If I can play like that then maybe I will go to Real Madrid! 

"I don’t know what I am going to do but I would like to stay in the Premier League playing football because I love it.”

Toure is also prepared to put his body on the line to solve Liverpool’s defensive crisis on Friday, even though he’s a doubt with muscle injury. 

And he believes the likes of holding midfielder Lucas Leiva will rise to the challenge to join him in a makeshift defence.

“We are under pressure of course. We are losing a lot of centre backs right now but we are a team and we fight and defend as a team and Lucas was the man of the match,” he added.

He is good as a centre-half, and because we play as a team he knows he is not on his own and he has players who will cover for him.

“Every time we have had to deliver, we have delivered. We have a tough manager and you can see how the team plays and fights together.”

Arsenal target Mohamed Elneny misses Basel training as Swiss club expect him to leave 'in coming days'

Kampusbet  ~   " Arsenal target Mohamed Elneny misses Basel training as Swiss club expect him to leave 'in coming days' "

Agen TangKasneT  ~   Arsenal target Mohamed Elneny missed Basel training and the Swiss club confirmed he could leave "in the coming days". 

Basel held their first post-Christmas training session on Tuesday and Egyptian midfielder Elneny was a notable absentee.

The 23-year-old is expected to complete a £7million move to the Emirates to become Arsenal's first signing of the transfer window.

A statement on Basel's website said: "Absent [from training] was Mohamed Elneny, for who there could be a transfer in the coming days."

Bandar Judi Online TangKasneT  ~   Gunners boss Arsene Wenger hinted Arsenal could sign two players during January.

"I don’t give much away (about transfers) because I don’t know," Wenger said after Arsenal's win over Newcastle on Saturday.

 

"I want to talk about them and hopefully we are capable of doing something in the next 10 days. It’s more about quality than quantity because our players will not stay out injured forever.

"Francis Coquelin is starting to run, Santi Cazorla will be back in mid-February, and Mikel Arteta is back now so, hopefully, if we can add one and, if needed, two maximum."

Liverpool transfer target Marc-Andre ter Stegen's asking price could wreck move from Barcelona

Kampusbet  ~   " Liverpool transfer target Marc-Andre ter Stegen's asking price could wreck move from Barcelona "

Agen CasinO  ~  Liverpool fear they could be priced out of a move for Barcelona keeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen.

Kop boss Jurgen Klopp has identified the Germany international as a potential target this month, after being alerted to the 23-year-old’s unrest at the Nou Camp.

The Reds are prepared to offer £12million, which would represent a small profit on the £10m the current European champions paid Borussia Moenchengladbach for the player last year.

Ter Stegen has a buy-out clause in his contract of almost £65m. While Barca accept that figure is unrealistic, they are in no rush to sell the keeper who helped them win the Champions League last season.

The Catalan giants believe third-choice Jordi Masip is ready to step in as Claudio Bravo’s understudy, and see £20m as a fair valuation for Ter Stegen.

Bandar Judi Online CasinO  ~   But that is still too much for Liverpool as they look for a genuine challenger to Simon Mignolet.

The Reds hope Ter Stegen will force Barcelona’s hand by making it clear that he wants to leave.

All 21 of his appearances last season came in either the Champions League or Copa del Rey and he has played in just four La Liga games this term as Luis Enrique has once again made Chilean international Bravo his first choice.

Ter Stegen would want assurances that he will be given the chance to establish himself as No.1 at Anfield.

Mignolet has struggled for consistency, but Liverpool have spoken to the Belgium international about a new contract.
