He has worked on three continents. He was a senior scout for Celtic and played a part in the signing of Virgil van Dijk. He then served as senior player recruiter for Qatar. The quest to discover the next big thing, he can confirm, starts earlier and earlier. You would never have seen the prices being paid for young kids a decade ago that you see these days with the influx of cash coming from television money, sponsorship deals and wealthy owners investing large sums,” McGuinness said.
In the last six home matches, Kasimpasa have scored 13 goals and conceded just one. Having struggled to establish a fluid home run in the opening 10 home games, when they won just one, they will want to finish strongly in this match. They have six home wins in 16 home league matches this season and five of the wins have come in the last six home matches.
Here’s what they had to say… David Beckham on the Brazilian connection Golden Balls. Golden generationGolden Balls spent four years in the Spanish capital with Real Madrid, from 2003 to 2007. In that time, he won one La Liga and one Spanish Super Cup.

The 23-year-old Argentine had his name sung in deafening fashion by the visiting supporters throughout the second half here as he showed a real creative edge, dovetailing with the pace of Son and Lucas Moura and the driving runs of Dele Alli. Lo Celso did brilliantly to help create Son's goal then almost provided a second for the South Korean with a perfect pass that was volleyed just over the top.

Then you had Sampson, who came in and elevated us to another level. The Lionesses got recognition and we went to a World Cup and won bronze in 2015. We wanted to go on. But we're looking at a team at the moment which has struggled to find its best form and an identity under Neville. He had an idea about the philosophy he wanted to play with, playing out from the back, but it's not worked. You can see that by the stats and the number of goals we have conceded.
Not true. As the best paid and number one player at the club, rumours such as these come with the territory and it is indeed true that when any major decisions concerning the playing aspects of the club have to be taken then the star names are always consulted. Of course they are, it is not something specific to Barcelona, and to do otherwise would be negligent. But clearly there are problems to which finding solutions will be difficult.
He's quite happy to milk Newcastle United for every penny he can and to build his sports brands globally. The only thing that will push him out is a ridiculous offer. Are some fans conflicted?The Saudi bid, which has been led by financier Amanda Staveley and includes the billionaire Reuben brothers, is not short of money. Yet not all Newcastle fans believe the takeover should come at any cost. Norman Riley of the True Faith fanzine says some fans will feel "conflicted" by talk of a Saudi-financed takeover whatever the issues with Ashley.
Man of the match - Sergio Aguero (Manchester City) There were man of the match displays all over the pitch for Manchester City but this was a historic day for Sergio Aguero, who has been lighting up the Premier League for nine seasons. We gave City too much respect' - what they saidAston Villa boss Dean Smith: "It's tough when you come up against world-class teams. There's a professional pride as a coach and a team, and the third goal summed it up - they had about 20 passes without us laying a glove on them.
Dudelange fc to take on Apoel fc on Thursday the 28th of November for their second leg in the Europa league. First leg the host won it but they were also conceding too much, so I think they sort this problem by fixing other quality defenders or by changing the formation they used in their first leg.
two pretty much similar teams and difference between them on the table is not huge so I think both of the teams have a legit chance to win tomorrow but I decided to give advantage to the nurnberg because of their great offense on the road and I m very confident they will score a goal tomorrow and with that goal scored they should surely not lose the game, so I think it will be either 1-1 draw or nurnberg will win so I go with this handicap on them and who wants to risk could go with clear win for visitors
must win game for the Swansea,they are on nine place on the table right now with just 1 win on last five matches and If they want to contest to play off they need to win games at home versus teams like QPR,and QPR is in terrible shape, on the road they lost 9 games so far this season and also their defense is pretty weak with 28 conceded goals so I think Swansea will win this game tonight and I recommend it to anyone for sure, who wants to risk could try and go with the handicap win on Swansea city!

He added on BBC Radio 5 Live: "For me, the important thing is context. The kind of scrutiny that he's getting at the moment is very harsh. David de Gea: Did Manchester United keeper peak in 2017?During United's FA Cup semi-final defeat by Chelsea, De Gea could not stop Blues striker Olivier Giroud's opener and then fumbled Mason Mount's long-range effort into his net.

They bid for a fifth consecutive victory away at fifth placed Preston North End who have lost their last two league games. Albion lost out in the play-offs last season in a penalty shoot-out against Aston Villa. This season they have won 11 of their 18 league games with only one defeat. That was inflicted on them by Leeds United who are second in the table.
Benfica will be outright favorites here, even though Sporting will not be pushovers. Benfica go to this game simply with the best form in Portugal and their away record in the league further boosts them. While they take on a side that has been doing well at home, Sporting have been on and off for most of the season. One factor that may work against them though is the fact that they have a porous defence and against Benfica this is very dangerous. Benfica have scored in 21 straight matches, have two leading scorers in the league and have scored two or more goals in 12 of their last 13 matches. On the other hand, Sporting have scored in 13 of their last 15 matches and also scored in each of their last 11 home matches. Though they will be the underdogs here, we expect them to hit the back of the net. We will thus go for both teams to score here, and a bet of over 2.5 goals will do.
Zilina, however, said they would still be able to finish the season if it was to eventually restart at some stage, relying on youngsters "who have shown willingness and solidarity". A legal analysis of the current legislation has shown that the status of the company in liquidation does not limit its activities," Zilina said.
Paper Round’s view: Arsenal have been hiding in plain sight over their appointment of Arteta. There will be no surprise if he is eventually given the gig, but the way they have comported themselves is not too impressive. Whether City or Arsenal will really care once their compensation is agreed is another matter.
Jimenez, who has scored 30 Premier League goals in two seasons, has not had a proper break for three summers. Having represented Mexico at the 2018 World Cup, he helped his country win the Concacaf Gold Cup last summer.

The lethality with which the second was dispatched is evidence of a player high on confidence and overflowing with menacing intent. In attitude, drive and ability he is eerily reminiscent of a young Wayne Rooney, who could be swung like a wrecking ball directly through whatever was in front of him at the same age.
The Dutch keeper used every trick in the book to try to distract Fernandez and it worked a treat as he struck a weak kick that Krul saved with ease to send 9,000 Norwich fans wild. Norwich are in the last eight for the first time in 28 years. That's what it's all about, that's why we do all the hard work," Krul said.

lille host second placed Marseille in this fixture of the top teams in the ligue 1 setting. Olympique come as the better team with a string of 3 wins and 2 draws in the last 5 fixtures as compared to lille s 3 wins and 2 losses in the last five matches. These two teams both have the capability to grab maximum points today and with a capability of major scores. The prediction of who walks away with all three points is tricky but what is certain about this game is that at least one goal is to be scored without fail
He is pictured alongside international team-mate and Liverpool midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum, a black player, with them holding their arms out, along with the hashtag #stopracism. The picture was taken in November, but De Jong posted it again this week - amid global protests following the death of an unarmed black American man, George Floyd, who died after a white police officer had his knee on the back of his neck for nearly nine minutes in Minneapolis.
Brentford can batter lots of team at this level, though it's not easy to see them walking all over Fulham, who're yet to suffer a heavy defeat away from home. That said, the attacking efforts of The Bees at home have been superior to those of The Cottagers on the road, so a low-key home win, in the form of 'Brentford to Win & Under 3.5 Goals' looks a good choice. Brentford will have to work hard to get three points, but they've got the extra attacking quality to do so. In contrast, the visitors have often struggled because of a lack of forward penetration on the road.
The Leicester City frontman has enjoyed a stellar campaign, leading the Premier League scoring charts with 19 goals, and was on track to break his personal record which stands as the 24 goals he scored during Leicester’s title-winning campaign. Yet for the most part it almost feels as if it is going under the radar, as odd as that is to say.
PSG continue their bid to win every competition they've entered when they take on Saint-Etienne in the Coupe de France final at the Stade de France on Friday night.

It is certainly the season of goodwill in Spain - a time for coming together and putting 8-0 thrashings aside. Spanish fourth division side Becerril endured a torrid evening against Real Sociedad, who sit sixth in La Liga, in the Copa del Rey on Thursday. However, it was not a complete nightmare for Becerril - a northern Spanish village with just 754 inhabitants - as the whole population received an invitation to a future match from Sociedad president Jokin Aperribay.
A tense and tight contest was settled by a Joe Jacobson penalty with just over 10 minutes to play after Fred Onyedinma was fouled by Oxford goalkeeper Simon Eastwood. Wycombe had taken an early lead when centre-back Anthony Stewart headed in a dangerous Jacobson corner via a deflection off Eastwood. Oxford found a second-half equaliser when Mark Sykes lobbed Ryan Allsop with what appeared to be a mishit cross, but the U's could not capitalise further during what was their best spell of the game.

He’s been in good form this term and he could well add to that strong record.

However, Arsenal are like United in that they too need to buy quality that is able to compete immediately, and there is little indication that the club have the finances to pursue both strategies at the same time.
