It's official: Arsenal confirmed the EFL is considering whether to postpone Arsenal's Carabao Cup semi-final first leg against Liverpool, with the Reds already submitting an application to postpone the match.
Liverpool claimed an outbreak within their squad and the EFL is assessing the current situation.
Liverpool had nine players sidelined due to injury in their previous match against Chelsea, followed by the loss of Salah, Keita and Mane (Africa Cup of Nations), and the Reds officially confirmed that in the latest round of testing, several more players were absent, while important figures such as Klopp, Matip and Firmino had been diagnosed.
ESPN said the EFL considered options included rearranging the first leg on a later date or simply compressing the two-legged game into a one-size-fits-all game.
Let me say this:
The current situation is that Liverpool have officially applied for a postponement of the game, but the EFL is still considering, and it is estimated that there will be exact news soon, if the extension is not agreed, then the game will of course proceed as usual, if the extension is agreed, then the processing plan is to be determined.
Personally, I think that a carabao cup does not actually need to have two rounds, simply a game to win or lose, if this game is arranged in the back, then the impact on the schedule may be a whole body.
Of course, from the perspective of sponsors, of course, do not want to reduce the schedule, this is not the FA or EFL do not want to simplify the schedule, you have to consider the person who pays for ah...
Clegg Bowson will enforce Arsenal's FA Cup third round against Nottingham Forest.
That's right, this was the referee who enforced Arsenal's game against Wolves, I remember the Wolfs player's shoe spikes rubbing david Luiz, and then Luiz was sent off for a red card, and there was a penalty...
It's a turn. Fortunately, playing Nottingham Forest should still be assured.
Let's look directly at the transfer, starting with Niles.
ESPN reporter JO posted that Roma are expected to complete the loan of Niles in the next 24-48 hours, the two clubs established contact last month, and negotiations are now making positive progress.
JO said Niles will join Roma on loan until the end of the season, although the deal does not contain an opt-in or mandatory buyout clause, and the parties are now expected to reach an agreement soon, with Arsenal only wanting to approve a short-term deal.
There has been significant progress in the Niles deal over the past 24 hours, and the current report is consistent, that is, it is close to reaching an agreement, and we will summarize all the news together.
Put the NEWS OF JO in the front first because JO was the first to say that the transaction was close to reaching an agreement, and from the follow-up reports of other reporters later, jo's news was completely correct, and the fundamentals were: leasing does not include buyouts.
Romano tweeted: Arsenal will receive a loan fee of 500,000 euros and a bonus of 500,000 euros from Roma on Niles' loan, the deal does not include a buyout clause, and Roma will bear all of Niles's salary, and the contract will be signed tonight (the evening of the 4th).
Barogon also has a chance to leave Arsenal in January, with Middlesbrough already asking for the striker on loan.
Di Marzio has also been reported.
Di Marzio said Roma and Arsenal have reached an agreement on a deal on a loan loan from Niles that does not include buyout terms.
The two clubs exchanged written documents with each other on Tuesday night, and Niles will undergo a medical examination in London on Wednesday, a deal in the form of a loan without buyout terms, a loan fee of 500,000 euros, and a floating bonus of 500,000 euros.
Basically consistent with Romano's message, but I want to spit on the picture of this article, which year's photo...
According to London football journalist CWY, Niles will join Roma on loan for the remainder of the season, and the midfielder is disappointed that he will not get much playing time this season, so he is eager for a transfer.
Arsenal initially asked for a mandatory buyout clause (linked to the number of appearances) on loan, but Roma's current financial situation means they can only pay the loan fee, and the clubs are expected to restart the buyout issue for Niles at the end of the season.
Finally, let's look at the DO message.
The Athletic correspondent DO posted that Roma and Arsenal have reached an agreement on loan for Niles until the end of the season, and the Red Wolves have not yet reached an agreement with the players themselves on personal terms, but this is not expected to be a problem.
The DO said Niles will attend a medical examination in the UK within the next 48 hours.
In addition, the TA article also pointed out that it was Arsenal that refused Roma's request to add a selective buyout to the loan, and the Gunners agreed to simply rent.
Let's summarize it, in fact, there are still some small details:
First of all, the conclusion, from the news of major reporters, the transaction is basically fixed: Niles joined Roma on loan for half a season, without any buyout terms, and the total loan fee + bonus may be around 1 million euros.
So the question is, why aren't Arsenal asking for a buyout to be included in the deal?
Judging from the do's news, it was Arsenal that voluntarily rejected Roma's inclusion of an opt-out clause in the loan, why did it refuse? Because from the previous reports, Rome gave a buyout fee of only 10 million euros, so of course refused...
Wouldn't it be nice to add a mandatory buyout? No, because from the CWY article, Rome does not have the finances of a mandatory buyout (since you have added the clause, then it is a big game to say that there is no money).
So since the left is not good or right, why not simply refuse to rent Niles?! It doesn't seem to work either... Because first of all, Niles wants to leave the team, and it may not be beneficial to keep a player who wants to go; moreover, Arsenal knows that Niles cannot play the main force in the second half of the season, and if he continues to sit on the bench, it will not sell for the price in the summer, so it is better to let him go to Rome to try his luck, in case of good performance, it is better to negotiate the price.
So here's the thing: Arsenal had to let go of Niles and sell it directly, Rome couldn't afford it; add a mandatory buyout, his financial strength didn't allow it; selective buyout, the price given by Rome was not beautiful... So in general, we can only retreat to the second place, first simply rent Niles.
And CWY also said that although there is no buyout, the two clubs will definitely restart the acquisition negotiations in the summer.
But another issue that Gun fans are concerned about is: Thomas and Ernenni leave the team, Niles sends them away, and there is Zaka and Lokunga left in January.
I think that since Arsenal agreed to lease Niles, there must be plans, such as bringing in a new midfielder, although there is no definite news yet, but the possibility exists.
The other may be internal promotion, maybe Arteta and others are very optimistic about Pattino, maybe this kid seizes the opportunity to rise up, who knows...
According to Sky Sports, Arsenal will consider a suitable offer for Aubameyang and the possibility of the striker's departure in January cannot be ruled out at this time.
Since being stripped of the captain's armband, Arteta has not included the star in the matchday list in the last six games, during which time the Gunners have a 5-1 record and scored 20 goals, after rumors that Juve are interested in Aubameyang, but now it seems that the Gabonese will not join the Bianconeri, and Allegri's side is also interested in keeping Morata.
Sky Sports learned arsenal had money to spend on a new centre-forward in January, though According to Sky Sports Italy, Vlahović is not interested in joining the Gunners.
In this article, I am personally only interested in "Arsenal have money to acquire a new center in January", which shows that there is a budget! And the budget is not low! Another meaning of having money to buy a center is to have money to buy other people, including the midfielder, as long as the money to buy a center is temporarily taken out...
As for Aubameyang, this is not accurate for the time being, does not rule out the possibility of Oba leaving the team in January, and another meaning is that the possibility of his staying in the team cannot be ruled out, and the question depends on whether there is a team willing to want him.
Vlahovich's words have been rumored a lot, but the British side has not moved, and I personally think there is nothing to say for the time being.
Arsenal rumor target Vlahović hinted in recent days that he is willing to stay in Fiorentina for the time being.
The 21-year-old Vlahovic has scored 18 goals and three assists in 22 games this season, and Arsenal, which are desperate to rebuild the front, are considered very interested in the rising star, although from recent interviews, the Serbian seems more inclined to stay in Italy.
Vlahović told Poltika: "I have said many times so far that a wonderful story is being written in Florence. We have a great team, great players and a huge amount of support from the fans, and that's all worthy of respect.
Only God knows what will happen in the next phase and my wish is to bring Fiorentina back to the European race because we haven't played in a European tournament for a long time.
I don't know what's going to happen overnight, let's walk and see. ”
Although he didn't say anything to death, he always felt that he had little to do with Arsenal, and it seemed that Vlahović did not want to leave the team in January, and the variables would be even greater in the summer.
Di Marzio and Sky Sports Italy news that Arsenal are the team most interested in Vlahović, although the striker's camp is adopting delaying tactics and their goal is to wait for more ambitious plans to emerge.
Di Marzio's current news is actually not to be trusted, and my personal feeling is that Vlahović's camp is borrowing Arsenal to raise prices.
In short, this rumor has not progressed at all, even if Arsenal is really interested, there is no substantive operation, let alone an offer, so let's take a look.
According to the Daily Sports and TV3 reporter AR news, Arsenal have proposed the conditions for the acquisition of Coutinho, that is, loan and can not include mandatory buyout clauses, in addition to Barca also have to bear part of the midfielder's salary, or Coutinho himself to accept a salary cut.
Actually, I didn't think Arsenal and Coutinho would have any intersection, but if it really is as mentioned above, it is not impossible in theory.
Loan, can not join the mandatory buyout, require players to reduce salaries, require the parent team to bear part of the salary ... I thought it was Roma who was looking for Arsenal players... This condition can be summed up in two words: white X.
If Barca do accept, then why not loan Coutinho? But that's just a rumor...
