Declan Rice's transfer situation inevitably dictated the discourse surrounding West Ham United's transfer window, and despite winning the Europa Conference League in June, efforts to retain his services were futile.
David Moyes took the Hammers to newfound heights with the continental cup triumph, but the efforts in the league were far from promising, with poor form throughout the season resulting in a scramble to escape the threat of relegation throughout – but then they did just that in the closing weeks of the Premier League campaign.
However, with a third successive European campaign (and a return to the Europa League) now just weeks away, West Ham are poised for further excitement under their Scottish manager's stewardship, fortified by astute work on the transfer front.

Moyes and co spread the £105m fee secured for Rice's sale across the squad, suffusing the arriving quality throughout, and while this looks to have paid off in the term's embryonic stage – with three wins and a draw to start the 2023/24 season – the Hammers did not sign a new centre-forward, despite speculation throughout the summer market.
How much did West Ham pay for Danny Ings?
Ultimately refraining from forging ahead for a new marksman was perhaps understandable, given the necessity to recraft the midfield and bolster the backline, especially given the Prem-proven options at Moyes' disposal.
Michail Antonio, now aged 33, has been a stalwart for the east London club since joining for around £7m, but is approaching the twilight phase of his career and will need a successor sooner rather than later.
Danny Ings was also added to the ranks only last January, signing from divisional rivals Aston Villa in a £15m transfer, with Moyes acknowledging the importance of the signing and saying he "will add great competition for places in the attacking third".
Yet, after scoring only two goals from 17 top-flight displays after joining the London Stadium ranks as the outfit battled for form and fluidity, it's perhaps surprising that a new forward was not acquired.
Ings has been a prolific marksman throughout his career, notably scoring 46 goals and supplying ten assists from just 100 matches for Southampton, where he was praised for his aptitude as a "goal machine" by writer Simon Peach.
This season, he has been a substitute for three of the four league matches at the start of West Ham's season, unused in the other, but after playing a total of just 27 minutes it seems that Moyes does not view him as the man to lead the line.
West Ham need a young, exciting striker befitting of their meteoric rise over the past several years, and while several efforts were made for the likes of prolific talent Folarin Balogun, United ended up empty-handed.
Were West Ham interested in signing Folarin Balogun?
Just days before the 2023/24 Premier League campaign kicked off, the Independent reported that Arsenal forward Folarin Balogun was attracting the attention of London rivals West Ham after impressing out on loan with French side Reims last term.
The Hammers were rivalling European teams such as AC Milan, Inter Milan and Monaco for his signature, with the Irons hierarchy impressed by his exploits over the past few seasons.
Ultimately, a transfer didn't materialise, and the USMNT international completed an initial €30m (£26m) move to Monaco, which could rise to 40m (£34m) inclusive of add-ons.
In hindsight, the Hammers might look back at the transfer failure as something of a blunder, especially given the club's good start to the season and an expectation to wade deep into the later stage of the Europa League.
Still only 22, Balogun boasts the range of skills to flourish on the major stage, with Arsenal's official website describing him as 'fast, intelligent and a natural-born finisher'.
How good is Folarin Balogun?
Considering these talents, Balogun could have been the perfect counterweight to a hulking strike partner such as Antonio, who has been hailed as "strong" by Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola.
Moyes' preferred style utilises solid defensive work and swift counter-attacking transitions, sometimes opting for two contrasting centre-forwards to blend styles, which would have worked to a tee with Balogun added to the mix.
Last season, in Ligue 1, the 5 foot 10 ace plundered 21 goals and three assists from 37 outings, heralded as a "scoring machine" by FOX News' Garland Gillen.
The two-cap international also ranks among the top 7% of forwards across Europe's top five leagues over the past year for total shots taken and the top 17% for touches in the attacking box per 90, as per FBref, emphasising the level of energy and robustness that the Hammers would have added to the fold.
With all this being said, there is not exactly cause for panic at West Ham, with a glinted slice of silverware added to the cabinet, a third successive foray into European competition and a cohesive and exciting outfit brimming with new levels of overall quality.
It just feels like a striker of Balogun's ilk would have been the icing on the cake for this burgeoning squad.
Ings has enjoyed his portion of prolific success in the past, and it's important to note that amid the upheaval of switching clubs at last season's midpoint, he still scored eight league goals and supplied two assists from just 15 starting appearances, but the preliminary evidence suggests that the 31-year-old has not been entrusted with a starring role this season.
Only time will tell if West Ham will come to rue the decision to make do with the current striking options, but based on his exploits in the budding stage of his senior career, Balogun – once described as "incredible" by Gunners manager Mikel Arteta – could have been the devastating focal frontman to lead the line for years to come.
As Australia arrived in Adelaide for the ODI on Friday, fast bowler Josh Hazlewood said that more attention needed to be paid to the way bowlers transitioned between formats
Daniel Brettig24-Jan-2018
Associated Press
It is often said by retired players that perspective can be easier to find from outside a cricket team than within it. From his out-of-favour vantage point as surplus to Australia’s ODI team, Glenn Maxwell has a simple answer to questions about what Steven Smith’s team are doing wrong with the bat – they are batting at a tempo the world’s more confident teams have long since deemed too slow.While Maxwell feels he has made the very evolution as a batsman that Smith, the coach Darren Lehmann and the national selectors seem to be asking for, he believes that the team he was once a part of has fallen behind England and others in terms of the cruising speed they employ with the bat.Where Australia had been happy to score around six an over for the first 10 overs and then throttle back to four or five until the closing overs, Maxwell said that England had shown it was better to be more aggressive and then “chill” at a run a ball. “They’re obviously playing the new brand of one-day cricket,” Maxwell said, “which is go as hard as you can for 15 or 16 overs, chill out at 10 but still go at six an over.”I think the Australian one-day team for a while our chill-out time has been four and a half to five an over of just making sure we conserve wickets. I think these days you just can’t afford to do that. You’ve got to be a little tougher and got to be a little more boundary-conscious.”Maxwell’s words provide further impetus to the search for a refreshed approach from the Australian ODI set-up, after the selection chairman Trevor Hohns conceded that a full review of the team’s personnel and tactical approach was required in order to be competitive at next year’s World Cup. In assessing his own development, Maxwell said he was disappointed he had not been given the chance to show his evolution after being shunted up and down the batting order prior to being dropped in India last year.”I feel like I’ve changed a little bit over the last period of time where I’m able to work my way through situations instead of just going ahead and blasting it,” he said. “Looking back at the Indian ODIs, I probably didn’t have the chance to show that. The first game turned into a T20 and I came out and we needed 13 an over, and I think the game before I got dropped I was sent in with six overs to go. So there wasn’t exactly time to rebuild and work through an innings.”As the Australian team, sans Maxwell, arrived in Adelaide ahead of the dead rubber Australia Day ODI on Friday, fast bowler Josh Hazlewood said that more attention needed to be paid to the way bowlers transitioned between formats. While much work has been done around their physical preparation and workload management, Hazlewood said the different skill sets required in the shorter forms needed to be better addressed in the future.Getty Images
“We haven’t quite transitioned from Test cricket to one-day cricket as well as we could have,” Hazlewood said. “England have two sets of bowlers in some regard, with only [Chris] Woakes and [Moeen] Ali backing up so they’re really one-day specialists, I guess you could say and they’ve showed us how to play. I think you still want your best bowlers playing…but you do need to work on skills from time to time. Maybe it’s a session here or there around Test cricket, you work on those skills with the white ball.”We can probably learn and do things a bit differently. I guess you have to outline some training sessions for the white-ball stuff and work on your variations even while you’re playing on a Test tour. My role in one-day cricket is a little bit similar to Test cricket, I bowl at the start a lot and a little bit through the middle. But for some guys like [Mitchell] Starc and [Pat] Cummins, their one-day game is probably closer to a Twenty20 game where they bowl a lot of overs at the end when the [opposing] batters are going.”By contrast, England have been refreshed by the changeover, something Woakes said was as much a matter of mindset as of tactics. “It’s just a different game…different format, different ball,” he said. “It’s more of a mindset thing because you’re constantly trying to hit the ball in one-day cricket whereas, in Test cricket, you’re more wary. People who don’t know the game that well would probably think it’s a red, it’s a white ball – what changes? But it’s amazing how much it does change.”Winning is a habit so we’ll be trying to do that in the last two games to secure a 5-0 whitewash. It is a huge motivation. We’re obviously delighted to win the series…but we won’t be letting up. We’ll still be trying to go out there on a big day for them, Australia Day, and turn them over. You don’t come out to Australia and win too often so, once you’ve got your foot on the throat, you want to keep it down. If the roles were reversed, then Australia would be doing exactly the same thing to us.”
No Moisés Lucarelli, Ponte Preta e Juventude se enfrentam neste sábado, a partir das 19h (Horário de Brasília), em jogo que vale o G-4 da Série B.

A Ponte Preta está em processo de erupção. Depois de muitos problemas internos, a Macaca optou por demitir o técnico João Brigatti e espera que o elenco mostre a sua força no jogo deste fim de semana. A principal ausência e João Paulo, que levou o terceiro amarelo.
Do outro lado do confronto, o Juventude está esperançoso em obter um bom resultado. O técnico Pintado conseguiu ajeitar a casa e o time voltou a subir de produção. Caso conquiste os três pontos, o Jaconero entra no G-4 e ultrapassa a Ponte Preta.
Some will nod their heads in satisfaction; few will wax lyrical about Newcastle United's performance on their return to Champions League football.
Having travelled to the San Siro for a much-anticipated tie to kickstart the Magpies' European campaign, Eddie Howe's side dug in deep to rebuff an AC Milan onslaught, thanks to a Nick Pope masterclass between the sticks – hailed as the "great wall of San Siro" by the Chronicle's Lee Ryder – and finishing with a goalless draw.
While a point away from home is not a bad way to start a Champions League group phase consisting of Paris Saint-Germain and Borussia Dortmund alongside I Rossoneri, it's "still not clicking on the whole", as journalist Craig Hope would put it.
Indeed, Newcastle started the Premier League season with aplomb after finishing fourth last term, dismantling Aston Villa 5-1 at St. James' Park, but then swallowed three successive defeats against Manchester City, Liverpool, Brighton & Hove Albion, before securing a slender victory over Brentford last time out.
Against Milan, the Magpies can take solace in their resilience and workrate against a Serie A side who threatened throughout but failed to dominate in their historic home stadium, despite taking 25 shots to Newcastle's six.
The contest marked the return to his Italian homeland for playmaking midfielder Sandro Tonali, who joined Newcastle in a £55m transfer from, as fate would have it, AC Milan in July.
How did Tonali play against AC Milan?
The midfielder hasn't quite hit the ground running despite bagging on his debut against the Villans, and against his former outfit, he was culpable of a meek display, completing just seven of his ten passes and winning only one of his six duels.
Withdrawn after 72 minutes, Hope also noted that the 23-year-old was "struggling to impact" upon his return to his old stomping ground, having also failed to make a key pass and squandered possession nine times, despite having just 20 touches of the football.
While Tonali did struggle, it was striker Alexander Isak who cut the bleakest figure on a miserable night for the Swedish striker, having failed to make an impact or even affect the game with any shred of positivity.
How did Alexander Isak perform vs AC Milan?
Isak, also aged 23, did not enjoy his most fruitful fortunes for Howe's side up front, with presenter Kev Lawson remarking that the ace looked "knackered" and needed "hooking" during the game. Such a statement is a worry considering he didn't even play last weekend.
Isak did enjoy more of the ball than his Italian teammate, taking 34 touches and actually completing 18 of his 20 passes at a completion rate of 90%.
He failed to do much with it though, succeeding with just one of his five dribble attempts and failing to unleash a single shot on Mike Maignan's goal, ineffective and seeing his threat negated – in isolation, adrift from his peers.
Ryder was particularly scathing in his post-match player ratings, branding Isak with a lowly 6/10 and writing: 'A spectator at times and lost the ball cheaply. Didn't manage a shot.'
Capping off his post-match thoughts, Howe mused that "it could be a vital point, who knows?", having avoided defeat on their return to the big time.
Perhaps. And there were certainly encouraging signs for the Tyneside club, but their star signings in Isak and Tonali will need to click into gear with a bit more inspiration if they are to advance from the 'group of death' of this year's edition of Europe's pre-eminent club competition.
BCB haven’t given up hope of securing England No.2 to replace Hathurusingha, after having initial offer turned down

The BCB claim they have not yet given up hope of securing the services of Paul Farbrace as their new head coach, despite having a recent contract offer turned down by England’s current No. 2.According to a source who requested anonymity, Farbrace was close to signing up as Bangladesh’s head coach even last week. But after being sent the contract, he chose instead to inform the BCB that he was unable to join the Bangladesh team.Both the BCB and Farbrace refused to comment on the matter when contacted by ESPNcricinfo.However, as recently as March 7, the BCB were hopeful that they had their man. President Nazmul Hassan said that they have finalised the head coach, who he described as a “known figure”. He said that they expected the coach to join in the first week of April.”We have finalised our head coach who is expected to join the Bangladesh team by the first week of April,” he said. “At the moment I am not going to disclose the name but I can say that he is a well-known figure, not someone unknown like Chandika Hathurusingha.”By March 11, however, Hassan was sounding a different note, suggesting the board were keen to interview more coaching candidates after the Nidahas Trophy.”We will finalise it after this series,” he said. “We have invited them for interviews. We might have two or three aspirants. Hopefully, we will finalise a coach within this month. We expect a new coach will be with us by the first week of next month.”The BCB were attracted by Farbrace’s track record when he was head coach of Sri Lanka, particularly the team’s success in Bangladesh in 2014. They beat Bangladesh in the Test, ODI and T20 series, the Asia Cup and the World T20 in the space of four months.Farbrace’s subsequent work with England has also not gone unnoticed by the BCB. As assistant coach to Trevor Bayliss, Farbrace has helped to bring about a phenomenal improvement in England’s white-ball fortunes, with nine series wins in their last ten bilateral ODI series and a runners-up finish in the 2016 World T20.The BCB interviewed Richard Pybus and Phil Simmons in December, both of whom have since found new roles with West Indies and Afghanistan respectively. The BCB have also made approaches to other coaches including Andy Flower, Justin Langer, Tom Moody, Mahela Jayawardene and Kumar Sangakkara but all have turned them down.

O jogo
O CSA foi mortal desde os minutos iniciais. Logo aos 9 minutos, Pimpão acelerou no contra-ataque e achou Paulo Sérgio, que dentro da área só teve o trabalho de empurrar.
Inspirado, Paulo Sérgio ampliou o marcador na casa dos 17 minutos em cobrança de pênalti. Pouco depois, Andrigo recebeu em boa condição, tirou o marcador e estufou as redes, 3 a 0.
Na etapa final, Paulo Sérgio continuou afiado na hora de finalizar. Aos 8 minutos, ele aproveitou a bola levantada na área e venceu o goleiro Alisson.
Com o placar resolvido e o rival abatido, o CSA apenas administrou o resultado e contou os minutos para conquistar o triunfo.
Nesta quarta-feira, o Vasco jogou mal, voltou a apresentar falhas defensivas e perdeu para o Bahia por 3 a 0 em Pituaçu. Com gols dos ex-vascaínos Rossi e Gilberto, e do atacante Clayson, o Tricolor construiu o resultado ainda no primeiro tempo e se afastou da zona da degola. Já o Cruz-Maltino não vence há quatro partidas no Campeonato Brasileiro e segue com 18 pontos.
Na próxima rodada, o Vasco volta campo no clássico contra o Flamengo, sábado, às 17h, em São Januário. O Bahia, por sua vez, visita no dia seguinte o Fluminense, às 16h, no Maracanã.

E a lei do ex aparece Desde o início da partida em Pituaçu, o Bahia tomou a iniciativa e foi mais perigoso, sobretudo em jogadas nas costas dos laterais do Vasco. Na primeira delas, aos 4, Clayson fez boa jogada, e com liberdade tocou para Gregore, que chutou, mas Fernando Miguel defendeu. O Cruz-Maltino revidou com um chute de longe de Marcos Junior, que passou perto. No entanto, aos 9, a lei do ex deu o ar da graça e após cruzamento de Clayson, Rossi se antecipou e estufou as redes, abrindo o placar para o Tricolor.
Olha ela aí de novo! Ao longo de todo primeiro tempo, a defesa do Vasco seguia batendo cabeça e dando muito espaço pelos lados para o Bahia construir jogadas de perigo. Na parte ofensiva, Benítez fazia muita falta no meio-campo e o Gigante da Colina não conseguia reagir. Até que Ernando teve muita liberdade pela esquerda, avançou e tocou para trás para o centroavante Gilberto soltar a bomba e ampliar o marcador.
Mais uma falha de Pikachu Ainda no primeiro tempo, o Bahia continuava a ter muita liberdade e avançava com tranquilidade. Aos 33, Rossi invadiu a área, e só teve o trabalho de rolar a bola para Juninho, que isolou e perdeu um gol incrível. No fim, Pikachu, em noite desastrosa, cortou um cruzamento de cabeça e entregou no pé de Clayson, que dominou, bateu no canto, e fez mais um para o Bahia aindano primeiro tempo.
Vasco tenta reagir, mas Bruno Gomes é expulso Na etapa final, o técnico Ramon Menezes fez um pacote de substituições para tentar injetar ânimo no time e tentar correr atrás do resultado. Diante disso, o Vasco melhorou no jogo e foi ao ataque na base da transpiração, mais por dentro, povoando o meio-campo. Aos 12, Felipe Bastos mandou um balaço e a bola passou muito perto. Contudo, o meio-campista Bruno Gomes tomou o segundo cartão amarelo e foi expulso.
Na parte final do jogo, o Vasco tentou, mas não teve poder de reação, ainda mais com menos um em campo. A equipe que iniciou muito bem o campeonato, perdeu o rumo e já não vence há 4 partidas na competição. Após a expulsão, a equipe não teve mais força para tentar descontar e o Bahia segurou o resultado até o fim.

Wolverhampton Wanderers now look set to bring an exciting new signing to Molineux in 2024, and his current employers are already seeking a replacement to fill the void, according to reports.
What's the latest news involving Wolverhampton Wanderers?
According to TEAMtalk, Wolves are one of several Premier League clubs vying for the signature of free agent midfielder Xeka, who has been out-of-contract since leaving Rennes at the end of last term.
Everton, Crystal Palace and Sheffield United have also shown interest in the 2020/21 Ligue 1 winner, while Sky Bet Championship sides Southampton and West Bromwich Albion have been in contact with his entourage. Clubs in France, Spain, Turkey and Italy are also keen on offering the Rebordosa-born ace a new challenge.
Wolves face Liverpool at Molineux on Saturday and could be aided in their quest to defeat Jurgen Klopp's men due to an injury crisis in defence for the Reds. As cited by The Express and Star, Virgil van Dijk is ruled out through suspension while Trent Alexander-Arnold will miss out due to a hamstring problem.
Old Gold midfielder Mario Lemina is optimistic regarding his side's chances of getting a result against Liverpool, as he told Wolves' official website: “It’s a really big game and I’m looking forwards to getting back on the pitch with the other players, and be in the right place to fight for the team. We know we can do it because we’ve got a good team, we’ve got great players, and we know what we’ve got to do."
Gary O'Neil's men sit 15th in the Premier League, having taken three points from an available 12 so far; nevertheless, their performances have probably deserved more in the way of results on balance.
Who are Wolves signing?
According to Os Donos da Bola presenter Neto, Palmeiras midfielder Raphael Veiga will leave the South American giants to move to Wolves in 2024.
Speaking in an interview, Neto's claims have been relayed by O TV Foco and transcribed by Sport Witness, as he stated: “Raphael Veiga will say goodbye to Palmeiras next year. He is going to Wolverhampton, and the transfer will be completed next year. If this doesn’t happen, Palmeiras can criticise me at will.
“And to replace Veiga, Palmeiras have their eyes on a new midfielder, Pedrinho, currently at Atlético-MG. So, the situation is as follows: Palmeiras is about to sign Pedrinho for €15m, offering €10m plus Kevin. Therefore, at the end of the year, Veiga will go to England.”
Wolves target Raphael Veiga in action for Palmeiras.
Veiga has enjoyed an immense 2023 across all competitions, registering 16 goals and 12 assists for the Brazilian giants in 43 appearances, as per Transfermarkt.
Regarded as a star player due to his regular goal contributions, the attacking midfielder has been a consistent presence in the Brazilian Serie A, racking up an average of 3.4 shots on goal per fixture alongside a match rating of 7.42/10, according to WhoScored.
Capable of putting a shift in defensively alongside his offensive exploits, Veiga has also managed to recover 2.8 balls per game in the league, as per SofaScore.
Wolves could definitely use another piece of the jigsaw to help break down defences and Veiga could be an inspired bit of business at Molineux if Neto's claims are indeed true.
