Inclusive ball hockey tournament helps spark positive conversations year-round
A hockey tournament helped celebrate Pride by promoting inclusive conversations and community.
Pride Tape, an organization that aims to promote diversity and inclusion in sport so that one day there won't be a need for special tape highlighting equality, helped organize the event with the Oilers Entertainment Group.
Two inclusive hockey teams, the Calgary Pioneers and Edmonton Rage took on each other Saturday in the inaugural Pride Cup, a ball hockey tournament at the Ice District Plaza.
Jeff McLean, co-creator of Pride Tape, told CTV News Edmonton that the organization has partnered with the Oilers for the past six and a half years, with this new event being the latest collaboration.
"We are a made-in Edmonton initiative," McLean said. "It's so fitting (today) it's another Battle of Alberta."
The pair of teams have played friendly games at West Edmonton Mall in the past, but McLean says the ball hockey tournament will hopefully become an annual tradition.
"It's just the start," McLean added.
HUGE congratulations to the Edmonton Rage for winning the inaugural Pride Cup!! ��️����️
Thanks to everyone who came down to #IceDistrict Plaza to support this incredible event!! The party continues here until 7PM! pic.twitter.com/mUUd6xHFI0
McLean hopes other NHL teams take notice and follow suit to help promote Pride and inclusion throughout the year.
"We always say, we just make the tape, you make it powerful," McLean said. "So it's really the people that put it on their sticks as a sign of support to the LGBTQ community. They deserve all the thanks." | https://www.iheartradio.ca/ctv-news-content/inclusive-ball-hockey-tournament-helps-spark-positive-conversations-year-round-1.18339421 | 2022-08-09T01:01:09Z | https://www.iheartradio.ca/ctv-news-content/inclusive-ball-hockey-tournament-helps-spark-positive-conversations-year-round-1.18339421 | true | 1 |
TREAT YOUR TASTE BUDS TO FOOD FROM AROUND THE WORLD WITH SMALL PLATES, BIG TASTES
SPRINGFIELD, IL, ILLINOIS, August 8 - The Village of Cultures has become a staple at the Illinois State Fair. It's a location on the fairgrounds where you can travel the world through your taste buds, but often the room you have in your stomach doesn't allow for you to sample all the world has to offer.
Which is why the Illinois State Fair created Small Plates, Big Tastes. For just $3, you can get sample size portions from any Village of Cultures vendor, allowing your waist and your wallet to expand.
"There are so many tasty options all around the fairgrounds, especially in the Village of Cultures, that we came up with a great way for fairgoers to travel around the world without breaking the bank," said Illinois State Fair Manager Rebecca Clark. "The perfectly sized portions give folks a chance to sample foods they may have not tried otherwise, and if they fall in love with the dish, they can go back for the full size portion!"
The food special "Feeding Frenzy" returns in 2022. Fittingly, the "Jaws" theme song will blast over the fairgrounds signaling the beginning and end of the frenzy that runs each day from 2-5 p.m. When the music sounds (15 minutes prior to the discounts starting, and 15 minutes before they end), participating vendors will reduce prices on select menu items. | https://www.einpresswire.com/article/585097725/treat-your-taste-buds-to-food-from-around-the-world-with-small-plates-big-tastes | 2022-08-09T01:02:18Z | https://www.einpresswire.com/article/585097725/treat-your-taste-buds-to-food-from-around-the-world-with-small-plates-big-tastes | true | 1 |

Ezra Miller has been charged with felony burglary into an unoccupied dwelling in Stamford, Vermont. The charge was issued following review of a May 2022 incident in which Shaftsbury police say Miller stole several bottles of alcohol while the owners were away. The news was first reported by News 10 ABC in Bennington County.
Per the report, just before 6 p.m. on Sunday, May 1, a burglary was reported taking place at a residence on Country Road in Stamford, Vermont. “After reviewing surveillance videos and interviewing witnesses, they said they had probable cause to charge Miller, 29, of Stamford,” News 10 ABC reported.
Police at last found Miller this past Sunday night, August 7, at 11:30 p.m. and issued a citation ordering Miller to appear at the Bennington Criminal Division of Vermont Superior Court on September 26, where they will be arraigned. (TMZ has more on the arrest here.)
The incident marks Miller’s third brush with law enforcement in 2022 following two arrests in Hawaii earlier this year — first for disorderly conduct and harassment at a karaoke bar, and then for second-degree assault during a later incident. Miller has also been accused of grooming underage individuals and was, in 2020, seen choking a woman on video in Iceland.
It was also reported back in June 2022 that Miller was housing a woman and her three children on an unlicensed cannabis farm in Vermont amid unsafe conditions including firearms on the property. Recently, more details emerged about Ezra Miller’s relationship with 18-year-old Tokata Iron Eyes, whose parents have accused Miller of facilitating an inappropriate relationship marred by drugs and physical and verbal abuse, all of which Tokata has denied.
Speculations abound whether Warner Bros. Discovery and DC will seek to recast or recalibrate Ezra Miller’s role in the upcoming “The Flash,” out for release next June. But during Warner Bros. Discovery’s second-quarter earnings call last week, CEO David Zaslav named “The Flash” as “among the great DC films coming up.”

OXNARD, Calif. (AP) — Micah Parsons might not lobby for playing time in the preseason this month the way the Dallas linebacker did last year in one of the "Hard Knocks" highlights for the Dallas Cowboys.
The reigning NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year wants to be clear. Parsons still wants to play in preseason games, even though there's a decent chance he won't because of how the Cowboys set up their training camp schedule in California.
"I don't care what game it is, I'm going to try to win," Parsons said. "If you don't have that competitiveness, I wouldn't want to play with you. I even get mad at my sister when we play Scrabble."
The question is no longer whether Parsons is playing. That was answered in a 13-sack season that was among the best for a rookie at his position in NFL history. The question now is where the first-round pick from a year ago will play.
After the addition of free agent linebacker Anthony Barr a week into camp, there's even more talk of "hand in the ground" Parsons — meaning the three-point stance of an outside pass rusher.
The same conversation started early last season, after defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence broke his foot in practice the week after the opener.
By then, Parsons had already shown versatility with his knack for getting to quarterbacks. He played almost exclusively on the line in just his second game — a victory at the Los Angeles Chargers that started a six-game winning streak.
Now he has something of a traveling companion on work days. Linebackers coach Scott McCurley goes with Parsons when he meets with the defensive line group.
"It's something the more you can keep him involved, the better he is in that setting," McCurley said. "He's a natural competitor by heart. I think the meeting room is kind of the same way, in staying involved in everything that's going on."
Ask Dan Quinn about Parsons spending time in both meeting rooms, and the defensive coordinator doesn't need long to remember that his young star believes there isn't much he can't do.
"That's a good question because he does spend time in different rooms and different spots, to go from D-line, LB some," Quinn said, trying to keep a straight face. "I'm sure you probably heard he's working with the running backs ... wide receivers, kicking."
Quinn finally cracked a smile, but there was a serious side to the answer.
"What's unique about Micah is the way we can align him in different spots where he's counted as a down guy, an off-the-ball guy, so I think that's important to say, 'Where's the alignment in how we would deploy him from there?'" Quinn said. "Because certainly they value his rush ability and his speed, but we want to make sure we're not just putting him into one spot."
Parsons' value as a pass rusher probably went up when defensive end Randy Gregory switched to Denver in free agency after agreeing to a contract to return to the Cowboys. The signing of Barr was the next step — an important piece for depth at the position Parsons vacates when he joins the defensive front.
Still, the conversation appears to stop short of Parsons becoming a full-time pass rusher.
"I hate to limit myself, because of how much I can do in coverage and man on man," Parsons said. "I think that's what adds the versatility, that's what adds the matchup nightmare. So I'm going to keep floating around and make these people try to find me."
They will be looking for him, which is something his coaching staff knows. McCurley said Parsons' competitive nature works in his favor in trying to improve on such a remarkable debut.
"That's a starting point that he's going to continue to grow off of, once he gets on the field, he comes alive," McCurley said. "Aside from that, he just needs to understand that there's still going to be bumps in the road."
Besides believing he can play several positions in football, Parsons fancies himself a multisport athlete. Cornerback Jourdan Lewis, a basketball enthusiast, chuckles at Parsons' eagerness to challenge on the hardwood.
Parsons will concede on one sport, though.
"Golf," he said. "But that's an older man's game. I'm going to get there."
Still, he never said he wasn't up to a challenge.
"When we go to Top Golf, $50 a shot," Parsons said. "Who can hit it further? I got a Happy Gilmore swing right now."
Owner and general manager Jerry Jones thinks of former quarterback Tony Romo, the club's career passing leader, when asked to remember a player as competitive as Parsons.
"He'd flip a coin for us right here to see who gets this white line first," Jones said of the current CBS analyst, pointing at the tennis court near the club's training camp practice fields in Oxnard, California.
"He just came looking for gaming and competitiveness. And Tony was competitive in every way, physically and otherwise."
Careful, Jerry. Parsons might decide he can be a TV star, too. | https://tylerpaper.com/sports/wheres-parsons-opponents-will-be-looking-for-cowboys-star/article_61dc533c-177c-11ed-8ec5-af824a02407c.html | 2022-08-09T01:25:35Z | https://tylerpaper.com/sports/wheres-parsons-opponents-will-be-looking-for-cowboys-star/article_61dc533c-177c-11ed-8ec5-af824a02407c.html | true | 24 |
Crews from three fire stations in Lancashire spent around two hours fighting a blaze that broke out in commercial premises in Thornton-Cleveleys.
The Lancashire Fire & Rescue Service crews from Fleetwood, Bispham and Blackpool fire stations extinguished the fire in the commercial premises in Victoria Road West, Thornton-Cleveleys, using one hose reel and two breathing apparatus. The fire started late afternoon yesterday (August 8) but was under control by early evening, with no reports of casualties.
Victoria Road West is the main street running through Thornton-Cleveleys, and traffic was diverted while the fire crews were operational.

August 8 – Everton sign Wolves captain Conor Coady on loan following Ben Godfrey, Yerry Mina injuries
We’re only one game into the 2022-23 Premier League season, and Everton manager Frank Lampard finds himself in a really difficult situation already. Not only were the Toffees beaten 1-0 by Chelsea on Saturday, but two-thirds of Everton’s back-three, Ben Godfrey (broken leg) and Yerry Mina (ankle ligament damage), were forced off through injuries that will keep them out for the long term. Everton have wasted no time in responding to the opening-day injury crisis, as they wrapped up a deal to bring Wolves captain Conor Coady to Goodison Park on loan this season. Coady had been pushing for a move away from Molineux Stadium, and the injuries to Godfrey and Mina should see him go straight into Lampard’s team when they visit Aston Villa on Saturday (7:30 am ET).

August 5 – West Ham complete $21.1-million transfer for Burnley’s Maxwel Cornet
Maxwel Cornet was a rare bright spot in Burnley’s 2021-22 season, which ultimately ended in relegation from the Premier League. So bright, in fact, that the 25-year-old Ivorian international is back in the top flight after completing his transfer to West Ham United, where he’ll hope to link up with recently signed striker Gianluca Scamacca (nearly $43 million).

August 5 – Everton set to beat West Ham to Amadou Onana signing
Amadou Onana is heading to Everton, as the central midfielder will join the Toffees for a transfer fee reported to be in the region of $40 million. Onana, 20, agreed terms with West Ham but preferred a move to Everton and it seems like he’s got his wish. Everton badly needed reinforcements this summer and Onana will give Frank Lampard’s side a solid base in midfield which they’ve been lacking. Idrissa Gueye, 32, is also on the verge of a return to Everton from PSG, as the Senegalese midfielder will also add extra solidity to Lampard’s midfield as Everton really struggled defensively at times last season. (JPW)

August 5 – Marc Cucurella signs for Chelsea in reported $65 million deal
One of the biggest shock signings of the summer has been completed, with Spanish left back Marc Cucurella signing for Chelsea from Brighton for a reported $75 million fee ($66 million up front, with $9 million in add ons). Cucurella, 24, looked set to join Manchester City for most of the summer but the reigning PL champs baulked at the price Brighton wanted for him. So in stepped Chelsea. They have also sent promising young defender Levi Colwill to Brighton on loan as part of the deal.
As for Cucurella, his rise has been meteoric. He had a phenomenal season at Brighton in 2021-22 after arriving from Getafe last summer and he is a superb attacking left back who will perfectly slot into Chelsea’s 3-4-2-1 as a left wing-back. Marcos Alonso is expected to move to Barcelona after this deal was confirmed and Cucurella and Ben Chilwell will battle it out for the starting spot at Chelsea. There’s a lot of talk about Chelsea overpaying for Cucurella, especially when they already have Chilwell, and there’s logic in that. He is a quality player, though, and Chelsea now need to sign a couple of center backs and probably another striker and this will have been a very good window for them. (JPW)

August 3 – Chelsea considering Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang deal
According to the Daily Telegraph, Chelsea are considering a move for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. The 33-year-old joined Barcelona in January but given the financial restrictions at Barca, plus the fact that they continue to sign new players, it appears that the Catalan club are offering up the Gabonese superstar. Why? Well, it is all about money. Per the report, Aubameyang’s wages will rise next year and Barcelona want to avoid paying that.
Would Aubameyang be a good fit for Chelsea? He would fit their system and we know he’s a great finisher. Aubameyang could also add plenty of experience to a very youthful attack and if he’s happy and teams are playing to his strengths. Thomas Tuchel will be wary of Aubameyang potential throwing his toys out of the pram like he did at Arsenal but the player and coach know each other extremely well from their time together at Borussia Dortmund. (JPW)
August 2 – Chelsea, Brighton, Marc Cucurella all agree terms on $60.7-million transfer, plus Levi Colwill
Marc Cucurella’s transfer from Brighton to Chelsea is nearing completion after all involved parties agreed terms with one another on Wednesday. According to Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea will pay $60.7 million to Brighton, who will also receive a top prospect, 19-year-old defender Levi Colwill, in the exchange. Colwill was a standout performer for nearly-promoted Championship side Huddersfield Town last season, as he appeared in 29 league games as a teenager. Manchester City, who previously made a run at signing the 24-year-old Cucurella, weren’t willing to go up to $60 million in their negotiations, let alone with a first team-ready prospect also included. (AE)

August 2 – Jamie Vardy being monitored by Manchester United, Chelsea
Leicester City’s Financial Fair Play concerns have led to concerns about the club futures of Wesley Fofana and James Maddison, and Kasper Schmeichel is leaving, but could the Foxes’ biggest name skip town?
90min is reporting that the Foxes may need to sell Jamie Vardy in order to raise funds for further purchases, with the 35-year-old set to see his contract expire next summer and no new deal believed to be close.
So where could he go? “A number of clubs” have been linked in the report but Chelsea and Manchester United are mentioned and the latter makes a lot more sense than the former as the Red Devils look increasingly likely to offload another aging striker in Cristiano Ronaldo.
But is Vardy an Erik ten Hag striker? And how many years will be on the next contract of the Foxes legend, who scored 17 goals last season and also bought into MLS Next Pro side RNYFC? (NM)
August 2 – Gana Gueye set for Everton return?
Idrissa Gana Gueye was a monstrous presence in the middle of Goodison Park for Everton before going to Paris Saint-Germain.
Could he replicate that success three years later?
Everton’s said to be “in advanced talks” to sign Gueye, who turns 33 this month and is closing in on centurion status with Senegal, boasting 94 caps.
He’s played 111 times for PSG after appearing in 99 Premier League matches for Aston Villa and Everton between 2015-2019.
Gueye made international headlines last season when he reportedly refused to wear a PSG jersey emblazoned with a rainbow flag that supports the LGBT community. (NM)
August 2 – West Ham reportedly agrees $38M fee with Lille midfielder
David Moyes may have himself a new, young midfielder after agreeing on a big fee for Amadou Onana but don’t expect the transfer to be settled very soon.
Onana, 20, still has to discuss personal terms with West Ham United, who hopes to land the busy midfielder who racks up tackles and interceptions while also controlling the game in the air.
The Irons continue to impress in their market dealings and they needed several bids to wear down Lille for Onana. Look out for Moyes’ men’s improved depth this season, especially if they land a potential long-term destroyer like Onana. (NM)
August 2 – Chelsea buys $24M Chukwuemeka, $15M USMNT keeper Slonina
Chelsea has won the race to sign Aston Villa wantaway Carney Chukwueka for $24 million.
The 18-year-old midfielder is out-of-contract next summer and had resisted Villa’s overtures for a new, rich deal.
Chukwueka was also being chased by Barcelona, Borussia Dortmund, and AC Milan. but is a medical away from joining the Blues.
Born in Austria to Nigerian parents, Chukwuemeka has six goals in 13 caps for England’s U-21 side. He joined Villa at age 13 after starting his academy football at Northampton Town.
He made a career-high 11 Premier League appearances last season to give him 13 for his career, and turns 19 in late October.
The Blues have also unveiled USMNT goalkeeper Gabriel “Gaga” Slonina, loaning the highly-rated 18-year-old back to Chicago for the rest of the season.
Slonina has been exceptional for the Fire and now makes three USMNT goalkeepers on the books at ‘Big Six’ Premier League clubs, with Zack Steffen with Man City (on loan to Boro) and Matt Turner at Arsenal.

August 2 – Marc Cucurella deal developing
This is all getting very close to completion now as Marc Cucurella has reportedly agreed personal terms with Chelsea. The Spanish left back looked set to join Manchester City this summer but Chelsea have swooped in after City failed to agree a fee with Brighton. Do Chelsea need a left wing-back? They have Ben Chilwell, so this is a little odd and seems like a luxury signing. But with Marcos Alonso potentially moving to Barcelona this summer, you understand why Chelsea want two quality players in each position. Cucurella fits the bill of a Thomas Tuchel player and is great on the ball and loves to join the attack. The words of Ron Burgundy seem apt to sum up this move to Chelsea for Cucurella: ‘Boy, that escalated quickly…’ (JPW)
Full agreement now reached between Chelsea and Cucurella on personal terms. Potential contract has been proposal approved, Marc’s prepared to accept once clubs agree on fee. 🚨🔵 #CFC

August 2 – RB Leipzig ‘confident’ of re-signing Timo Werner
Timo Werner runs his socks off game after game for Chelsea but it just hasn’t worked out for him at Stamford Bridge. Whether that’s due to his own lack of confidence in front of goal or the 3-4-2-1 system Thomas Tuchel wants him to play in (probably a bit of both), it seems like his days at Chelsea are over. For now. According to a report from the London Evening Standard, Chelsea are in talks with Leipzig over a loan deal for Werner, with Newcastle and Juventus also interested. The 26-year-old Germany international wants to play regularly ahead of the World Cup and returning to his former team, who are in the Champions League, seems like a very good solution for him.
What does this mean for Chelsea? Well, it means that Mason Mount, Christian Pulisic, Hakim Ziyech and new signing Raheem Sterling will now be Tuchel’s options to play off Kai Havertz, and it also frees up some space on their wage bill (Werner is reportedly their highest earner on over $335,000 per week) to bring in another defender or maybe even another central striker. USMNT fans will be thinking this is good news for Pulisic in particular, as he and Werner have battled for the spot as Chelsea’s left-sided forward over the last few seasons. Pulisic and Sterling will now do battle for that role, but we should expect that Chelsea will make some big moves late in the window to upgrade their attack further. (JPW)
August 1 – Newcastle really want James Maddison
James Maddison is a sublime talent and Leicester City want to keep hold of him, but the England international is the subject of yet another bid from Newcastle United. Maddison, 25, had a rebound season in 2021-22 as he scored 12 goals and added eight assists across 35 Premier League games. The mercurial talent has struggled with injuries over the last few seasons and has lost his spot in the England setup but his talent is undoubted. Per The Daily Telegraph, Newcastle have offered $55 million for Maddison. That is a lot of money for a player who can reach the very top but is just below the group of top playmakers in the Premier League. Do Newcastle really need another attacking midfielder though? They have Miguel Almiron, Allan Saint-Maximin, Joe Willock, Ryan Fraser and Jacob Murphy all battling for minutes in the central and wide attacking midfield roles. (JPW)
#nufc have made a second improved bid for Leicester City’s James Maddison today. Fee is in excess of £45m but payments are staggered. As I’ve said all along, they have been led to believe Maddison wants the move. We shall see. He might also want a new contract!!

August 1 – Marc Cucurella in shock move?
Marc Cucurella’s move to Manchester City appears to have collapsed as the reigning Premier League champs won’t up their offer. But that doesn’t mean the Spanish left back won’t be playing in the Champions League this season… A report from the Daily Mail says that Chelsea are ready to sign Cucurella and will offer cash plus promising center back Levi Colwill. With Chelsea set to let Marcos Alonso and Cesar Azpilicueta move on this summer, they need reinforcements and this could be a good deal for all involved. Cucurella has told Brighton he wants to move but Man City aren’t willing to pay what Brighton want for him (close to $60 million) so it appeared he would not get his dream move and would stay at Brighton and be unhappy. However, this could be a very good compromise. (JPW)

August 1 – Blues pushing to sign Frenkie de Jong ahead of Man United
A report from Sport in Spain says that Chelsea are pushing hard to sign Frenkie de Jong from Barcelona. Per the report, Chelsea will also sell Cesar Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso to Barcelona and then spend $82 million on the Dutch midfielder. De Jong, 25, has been linked with a move to Manchester United all summer long but doesn’t appear to be keen on playing for a team not in the UEFA Champions League. Chelsea are of course in the Champions League and with N’Golo Kante and Jorginho coming towards the end of their careers, Thomas Tuchel needs to look to the future. The report also says Barca will make a move for Bernardo Silva if they sell De Jong, as the Catalan club have spoken glowingly about the Man City and Portugal star over the last few months.
As for De Jong, his sublime control on the ball and positioning would be pretty perfect for Chelsea’s 3-4-2-1 system. He and Mateo Kovacic could hold things down together for the next five years. Now, the main issue is whether or not De Jong wants to leave Barcelona. Up to now he’s said he’s very happy at Barca but club president Joan Laporta and his manager Xavi continue to put pressure on him. Both keep saying they don’t want to sell him but they also mention the ‘economic situation’ as reports suggest Frenkie de Jong is being asked to take a wage cut, even though he is reportedly owed close to $20 million in wage deferrals from 2020. If Chelsea pip Manchester United to signing Frenkie de Jong then Erik ten Hag will not be a happy man as he will lose out on the player he wants to build his midfield around, while a top four rival will also be strengthened. (JPW)
July 31 – Chelsea “working on deals” for defenders Wesley Fofana, Denzel Dumfries
Chelsea’s interest in Leicester City center back Wesley Fofana was first reported this week, and the Blues have reportedly decided to press forward in their pursuit of the 21-year-old Frenchman (not yet capped at senior level for France). A deal won’t come cheap for Chelsea, though, as David Ornstein reported on Sunday that Leicester value Fofana at $100 million, give or take a few million either way. Fofana burst onto the Premier League scene as a 19-year-old in his first season with the Foxes before suffering a broken leg on the eve of the 2021-22 season, keeping him out of action from August to mid-March.
Inter Milan right back Denzel Dumfries is another name reportedly high atop Thomas Tuchel’s shopping list, with captain Cesar Azpilicueta set to turn 33 later this month and frequently linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge. The 26-year-old Dutch international (35 caps) joined Inter last summer and won the Coppa Italia in his first season at the San Siro. (AE)
July 31 – Brighton give Manchester City ultimatum, firm asking price for Marc Cucurella
Earlier this week, Brighton left back Marc Cucurella reportedly put in an official transfer request as he tries to force a move to the two-time defending Premier League champions. On Sunday, Brighton informed Man City that there will be no more negotiations regarding the 24-year-old Spanish international, unless a bid of $60 million is made. This has (loosely) been Brighton’s stance on Cucurella all summer, and things apparently remain unchanged following the transfer request. Man City reportedly offered $36.5 million, which is roughly the transfer fee they received from Arsenal for recently departed left back Oleksandr Zinchenko. (AE)
July 30 – Newcastle offer $48.7 million for James Maddison, but Leicester reject bid
James Maddison has just two years left on his current contract at Leicester City, leading to a handful of rumors and reports that he could be on his way out of the King Power Stadium this summer. Newcastle United are certainly aware of the situation and have thus made Leicester an offer of $48.7 million for the 25-year-old attacking midfielder. Leicester reportedly rejected, but the Magpies are likely to return with an improved second offer in the coming days. (AE)
July 29 – Man United interested in RB Salzburg’s Benjamin Sesko
Manchester United’s sporting director John Murtagh has reportedly held talks with the agent of RB Salzburg striker Benjamin Sesko. The 19-year-old Slovenian striker is the next star off Salzburg’s production line as Sesko scored in their recent preseason friendly win against Liverpool and the youngster has incredible potential. Per the report from the Manchester Evening News, Sazlburg want over $66 million for Sesko. Apparently that price is too high for United but this link could suggest that United are looking for a new forward and perhaps there was a breakthrough in the Ronaldo situation?
What this does tell us is that Erik ten Hag has a clear philosophy to bring in some of the top young talent in Europe and Sesko fits that bill. Salzburg has long been a hotbed for the next breakout stars in Europe (Sadio Mane, Erling Haaland and Dominik Szoboszlai et al.) and United would be very smart to try and snap up Sesko now. They do have Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial and Jadon Sancho as their first-choice front three at the moment as the Cristiano Ronaldo saga rumbles on, so Erik ten Hag is pretty set for attacking options. That said, he is pushing United to add new players and their focus is on adding quality rather than quantity as the additions of Christian Eriksen, Lisandro Martinez and Tyrell Malacia prove. (JPW)
July 29 – Marc Cucurella hands in transfer request
Well, this is escalating. Brighton left back Marc Cucurella has handed in a transfer request, according to Fabrizio Romano, as the Spanish defender wants to push through his move to Manchester City. Per several reports, Man City and Brighton have yet to agree a fee and this latest update says there is still a ‘big gap’ between the two clubs when it comes to the valuation of Cucurella. Brighton’s player of the 2021-22 season is seen as Pep Guardiola’s replacement for Oleksandr Zinchenko and Brighton know Man City have money to spend after they offloaded Raheem Sterling, Gabriel Jesus and Zinchenko this summer.
Will Cucurella start every game for Man City? Probably not right away as he has Joao Cancelo to get past at left back, but if Cancelo is moved to right back and Kyle Walker is rested or plays as one of the center backs, then there should be plenty of minutes available for the attacking full back. Cucurella seems like a perfect fit for City’s system and even Brighton boss Graham Potter has admitted that the Seagulls accept players have ambitions to join bigger clubs. Cucurella, 24, is now trying to push through his dream move and that means this is likely to end one way: Cucurella playing for Man City this season. (JPW)

July 29 – Ronaldo’s agent in talks with former club Sporting Lisbon
We now that Cristiano Ronaldo wants out of Manchester United and his first-ever club, Sporting Lisbon, could be the solution. According to a report from The Athletic, Ronaldo’s agent, Jorge Mendes, is in talks with the Sporting hierarchy over a potential deal. Ronaldo, 37, came up through the youth team at Sporting and left them for Manchester United when he was 18. Sporting finished second in the Portuguese top-flight last season, so are in the Champions League group stage and Ronaldo is adamant he wants to move to a club playing in the Champions League. So, in theory, this seems like a good fit. But financially there’s no way Sporting Lisbon could afford this move and Ronaldo will have to lower his wage demands massively.
With Atletico Madrid, Napoli, Bayern Munich and Chelsea all passing up on signing Ronaldo, the legendary forward has basically run out of other options to leave Manchester United this summer. There has been talk that United want Ronaldo to sign his option of an extra year on his contract (which will take him up to the summer of 2024) and he will then be loaned out to Sporting Lisbon for the 2022-23 season. That scenario still seems very unlikely but what other choice does Ronaldo have right now? He’s used to getting his own way when it comes to negotiations because, well, he’s Ronaldo. But Ronaldo and his representatives have badly miscalculated this one and Manchester United are holding firm as Erik ten Hag wants him in his plans for the 2022-23 campaign. (JPW)
July 28 – Everton confirms McNeil capture
Dwight McNeil’s move to Goodison Park is official, and the 22-year-old will join former Burnley teammate James Tarkowski at Everton.
McNeil says he’s excited to get a chance to shine under Toffees’ boss and England legend Frank Lampard.
“I feel playing under a manager like Frank Lampard, he will help me get my stats up – that is what I want to do, alongside improving my game. Last season was difficult for the club, but going into the last bit of the season, you saw from the players and fans, the desire and mentality and togetherness they have. They came together and united as one, which I thought played a key part in keeping them up.
“This season, they want to do better and I want to be part of the team to help them do that. When I heard the manager’s plans, they really excited me and appealed to me. I want to work hard and do well for the team and for the fans.” (NM)
July 28 – Cristiano Ronaldo, Manchester United update
Cristiano Ronaldo still wants to leave Manchester United after crisis talks with the reportedly wantaway star ended with the Portuguese still seeking Champions League football, according to Sky Sports.
Ronaldo, 37, did not help United qualify for the Champions League last season and the reporting says that he doesn’t have suitors who will be in the competition this season.
Atletico Madrid is apparently a longshot, but its supporters sure don’t sound interested in the move. And we bet Diego Simeone isn’t wild about it, either. (NM)
July 27 – Dwight McNeil the latest Burnley star to find new PL home
Burnley has watched a parade of top players leave Turf Moor after the club’s relegation from the Premier League and perhaps it’s brightest export looks to be headed to Everton.
Dwight McNeil would join James Tarkowski if he heads to Goodison Park and follow Ben Mee (Brentford), Nick Pope (Newcastle United), and Nathan Collins (Wolves) in heading back to the PL.
McNeil, 22, has made 147 appearances for the Clarets since breaking into the squad as a teenager in 2017. It’s a sad time at Turf Moor, as Vincent Kompany tries to hold onto Maxwel Cornet and hope several additions with Man City connections can help Burnley fight for promotion… or at least avoid a double drop.

July 27 – Fulham lands former Wolfsburg, Newcastle back Mbabu
An exciting player with plenty of European experience is coming back to the Premier League.
One-time Newcastle United prospect Kevin Mbabu only made three PL appearances during four seasons with the Magpies but, as happened often in the last decade, left St. James’ Park and found his form.
Mbabu, 27, has appeared in Europa League and Champions League action for Young Boys and Wolfsburg, and Fulham boss Tony Khan said the club’s been tracking him for some time. (NM)
July 27 – Done deal: Lisandro Martinez deal complete
Now, we knew this deal was all but confirmed but now it is officially official: Lisandro Martinez is a Manchester United player. The Argentine international, 24, has joined United for a fee of $68.7 million and has signed a five-year contract with the option of an extra year. Martinez starred for Ajax last season as he was their player of the season under Erik ten Hag, and he now links up with his former manager to help usher in a new era at Old Trafford.
Martinez is exactly the kind of player United needed, as he will bring a calmness, authority and class to their defense. Able to play as a center back or at left back, Martinez will slot straight into this team and it will be intriguing to see if Harry Maguire loses his place or if Martinez initially plays at left back or ETH switches United to three at the back. Wherever Martinez plays, he brings quality to United and along with the signings of Christian Eriksen and Tyrell Malacia, there is a clear identity to the new players the Red Devils are signing.

July 27 – Chelsea interested in Wesley Fofana
Our partners in the UK at Sky Sports are reporting that Chelsea are interested in Leicester City center back Wesley Fofana. The French defender, 21, missed most of last season after breaking his leg in preseason but is highly-regarded as one of the top young defenders in Europe under the age of 22. Fofana only recently signed a new two-year contract extension at Leicester and it would take a pretty massive offer to sign him. Chelsea are desperate for central defenders, though, as Kalidou Koulibaly has arrived this summer but they lost Andreas Christensen and Antonio Rudiger on free transfers to Barcelona and Real Madrid respectively.
With the future of Cesar Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso still up in the air amid interest from Barcelona, plus long-term target Jules Kounde looking likely to sign for Barcelona instead of Chelsea, Thomas Tuchel has cut a frustrated figure in recent weeks, especially after their 4-0 friendly defeat to Arsenal. He wants his squad to be settled heading into the opening weekend of the new season but that seems very unlikely. Fofana would be a good signing for Chelsea. His quality is clear for all to see and he would slot in well to the 3-4-2-1 system and is very comfortable on the ball and coming out of the back to start attacks. Leicester would ask for a huge transfer fee for him as they know Chelsea are getting pretty desperate, but the fee could be one worth paying as Chelsea are running out of time, and options. (JPW)
July 27 – Ronaldo running out of options
In the last few hours both Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid have talked down the idea of signing Cristiano Ronaldo. Basically, they’ve both said it isn’t going to happen. Bayern Munich director Oliver Kahn had the following to say about reports linking the German champs to Ronaldo: “We discussed about Cristiano Ronaldo internally – I consider him one of greatest footballers ever. Then we came to conclusion that, despite appreciation for Cristiano, he would not fit into our philosophy in the current situation.”
That came hours after Atletico Madrid president Enrique Cerezo said this about reports linking Real Madrid legend Ronaldo with an audacious move to his former crosstown rivals: “I’ve already said this several times, I don’t know who invented the Cristiano story but I’ll tell you that it’s practically impossible that he comes to Atletico de Madrid. Rumors are rumors and they have to stay as rumors. If you keep on fuelling the rumors then eventually it will look like it’s something real, which it’s not.”
Ronaldo, 37, is back in Manchester at United’s Carrington training ground and is reportedly still set on leaving United this summer. But where on earth will he go? If his dream is to remain in the UEFA Champions League, there are very few options for him to join a team in the UCL which will be able to compete to win it. PSG seems like a no-go. Real Madrid, Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, Juventus and Bayern Munich all seem like no-go’s too. Of the 26 teams who have qualified for the Champions League group stage this season, perhaps his best option is a return to Portugal to play for Sporting Lisbon? They will do well to get out of the group stage, though, so would that be worth it for Ronaldo? United seem to be set on keeping Ronaldo for this season but if he doesn’t want to be there, is that a big mistake? We will find out much more in the coming days and it will be intriguing to see if Ronaldo is in the United squad for their opener against Brighton in 9 days’ time. (JPW)
July 26 – West Ham sign Gianlica Scamacca
The Hammers have splashed out almost $43 million to sign Sassuolo and Italy striker Gianluca Scamacca. The 23-year-old has signed a five-year contract at West Ham and this is a huge statement of intent from David Moyes’ side. Scamacca will help ease the burden on Michail Antonio and his arrival may also allow Antonio to return to his favored position out wide. West Ham aren’t resting on their laurels and want to push for at least a top six finish this season. If Scamacca can get into double figures as well as Jarrod Bowen and Antonio continuing their fine form, this will be another fine season for the Hammers in the Premier League and the UEFA Conference League.

Frank Lampard must’ve liked what he saw from Ruben Vinagre when the Sporting Lisbon man was with Wolves, because the Toffees look set to get the player’s signature.
The 23-year-old left back arrived at the Molineux as a teenager and helped the club get promoted to the Premier League and then qualify the Europa League.
Never a full-time starter, Vinagre made 70 appearances for Wolves including 30 in the PL before heading to Olympiacos and Familicao, eventually moving to Sporting.
Vinagre had two assists in 18 matches for Sporting last season. (NM)
July 26 – Arsenal’s Bernd Leno nearing cross-London move
The arrival of USMNT goalkeeper Matt Turner to backup/hopefully fight for time with Aaron Ramsdale has all but underlined, bolded, and italicized the idea that Bernd Leno would be leaving Arsenal.
The move has taken some time to materialize, but Leno may be set for a short trip across London to settle into a new club.
Leno is closing in on a move to Fulham after agreeing terms with the Craven Cottage set, according to Florian Plettenberg. The former Bayer Leverkusen star would sign a three-season deal with the Cottagers with an option for more.
The hold-up is money (isn’t it always?), though it seems a fait accompli considering the players wants out, Arsenal knows it has to move on a keeper of his caliber, and Plettenberg says Leno is Fulham’s “desired No. 1.” (NM)

July 26 – Denzel Dumfries, center backs now top of Chelsea’s list
Thomas Tuchel isn’t happy with the amount of players Chelsea have been able to sign this summer and now that it appears that Jules Kounde will be heading to Barcelona instead of Stamford Bridge, the race to sign defenders is well and truly on. A report from 90min says that Pau Torres, Josko Gvardiol and Milan Skriniar are three center back options Chelsea are looking at closely, while Bayern Munich duo Dayot Upamecano and Benjamin Pavard could also be options. Torres and Pavard seem the most likely signings for Chelsea from that lengthy list of defenders as Tuchel needs reinforcements in defense for Chelsea to have any chance of mounting a serious title challenge this season. Right now, Chelsea will line up with Thiago Silva, Kalidou Koulibaly and probably Cesar Azpilicueta at center back for the opening day of the season in their 3-4-2-1 formation. However, Azpilicueta could leave for Barcelona but if the Catalan club sign Jules Kounde ahead of Chelsea that could actually scupper Azpilicueta’s move to Barcelona.
If Azpilicueta does move on then Denzel Dumfries will likely arrive at right wing-back, with the Dutch international said to be Chelsea’s main target for that position according to the London Evening Standard. The Inter Milan defender, 26, could play as the right wing-back in the 3-4-2-1 formation and Reece James could switch to be the right-sided center back for Chelsea. That could solve their center back issue, at least in the short-term, as Chelsea will likely bring in a new central defender (or two) before the transfer window shuts on September 1. Things are getting very interesting for Tuchel and the new Chelsea owners as deals need to be completed fast if they’re going to seriously compete for trophies this season. (JPW)
July 26 – Timo Werner could leave Chelsea
Fabrizio Romano has indicated that Timo Werner could leave Chelsea this summer, with Juventus and RB Leipzig linked with a move for the German international. Werner’s comments during preseason upset Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel, as the striker revealed he could be happy at whatever club he was playing at. After struggling for goals, and minutes, during the 2021-22 campaign, Werner’s playing time could be reduced further this season after the arrival of Raheem Sterling. Werner, 26, is loved by Chelsea fans for his work rate but he has scored just 10 goals in 56 Premier League games over the last two seasons and 23 goals in 89 appearances in all competitions. He has been guilty of snatching at big chances and not being clinical enough in front of goal.
Another report from Bild in Germany states that Newcastle want to sign Werner. Heading to Newcastle or back to Leipzig seems like a very good move for Werner, with the former probably his best bet. In the right system he will cause havoc but Chelsea’s 3-4-2-1 formation just doesn’t suit his style of play and he is much better in a team that plays two up front or a traditional 4-3-3 where wide players are forwards. Werner wants to lock in his spot in Germany’s World Cup roster and playing regularly has to be his aim between now and November. He isn’t going to get that at Chelsea as Sterling, Kai Havertz, Christian Pulisic, Mason Mount and Hakim Ziyech all appear to be ahead of him in the pecking order for the three attacking roles. (JPW)

July 26 – Ronaldo arrives at United’s training ground for talks
Blink and you’ll miss him, but the video below shows Cristiano Ronaldo arriving at Manchester United’s training ground for the first time this summer. With just over a week to go until the new season kicks off, Erik ten Hag will sit down with Ronaldo to discuss his plans and try to convince him to stay at United. Jorge Mendes, Ronaldo’s agent, was shown alongside him in the car and it was reported that Sir Alex Ferguson also arrived at the Carrington training base but our partners in the UK at Sky Sports say he was not involved in talks. Ronaldo, 37, is running out of options for a move away this summer as Bayern Munich and Chelsea both opted out of moving for the Portuguese superstar. Ronaldo reportedly wants to leave United in order to play in the UEFA Champions League. With Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho excelling as a front three in preseason for United, it may be tough for Ronaldo to actually get into this new-look United side early in the season. But, after all, he is Cristiano Ronaldo and if ETH convinces him to be a part of his plans, then surely he will play a big part in the 2022-23 campaign. (JPW)

July 22 – Ben Mee completes free transfer to Brentford
After 11 seasons at the club (seven in the Premier League), Ben Mee has officially left Burnley and signed for Brentford on a free transfer. The 32-year-old’s contract expired after the 2021-22 season, which saw the Clarets relegated to the Premier League after six straight seasons (and seven of eight) in the Premier League. Now, Mee, with all of his experience (217 PL appearances) and leadership (Burnley captain), will join the likes of Kristoffer Ajer, Pontus Jansson and Ethan Pinnock along the Bees’ backline. (AE)

July 22 – West Ham push for attacking duo
West Ham United are pushing hard to sign both Filip Kostic from Eintracht Frankfurt and Gianluca Scamacca from Sassuolo. David Moyes has been searching for reinforcements all summer long and with a deal for Armando Broja seemingly not on the cards as things stand, the Hammers have switched their focus to the Serbian attacking wing-back and the Italian center forward who is a rising star in Serie A. The players share the same agent and per Fabrizio Romano, bids have been submitted and talks are ongoing for the pair. Kostic can play as a left winger or wing-back and the 29-year-old shone in Frankfurt’s Europa League winning campaign last season. According to the Guardian, Frankfurt want $20 million for Kostic as his contract runs out next summer.
Our partners in the UK at Sky Sports believe that West Ham have bid over $40 million for Scamacca but Sassuolo want over $50 million for their star striker. Michail Antonio is West Ham’s main man up top and even though Jarrod Bowen supports him extremely well from the right, West Ham need another forward option, especially with the UEFA Conference League games coming up this season. Moyes is focused on adding quality rather than quantity and Kostic and Scamacca would both be serious upgrades on his current options. (JPW)
July 22 – Chelsea submit official paperwork for Kounde, but the saga takes another twist
Fabrizio Romano has confirmed multiple reports that Chelsea have submitted official paperwork to Sevilla with a fee of over $65 million agreed and personal terms agreed with Jules Kounde. So, what is the hold up here? It is basically the final signatures on everything and it appears that Kounde is waiting to see whether or not Barcelona (who have sold even more of their TV rights to raise cash) make a late bid to sign him.
An added wrinkle is that Kounde has actually turned up for Sevilla’s preseason training camp, which was unexpected. Per reports, Barca will not be able to offer Sevilla the same price as Chelsea, so it seems like this could get drag on if Kounde prefers to move to Barcelona. Kounde, 26, would be a key signing for Chelsea as Thomas Tuchel needs to bolster his defense ahead of the new season. (JPW)
Chelsea have sent paperworks to Sevilla for Koundé deal during the night, pushing to get it over the line. Details after bid on Wednesday: £55m deal, 5 year contract. 🚨🔵 #CFC

July 21 – Southampton, Newcastle chase teenage strikers
Two Premier League sides are hopeful of bringing about prolific 19-year-old forwards this summer, and one is happening soon.
Bordeaux has tweeted that Southampton’s won the race for Sekou Mara, who had been linked with Newcastle as well.
Mara is a France U-21 international and scored seven times in Ligue 1 last season. He’ll turn 20 on July 30.
The state of play in Newcastle’s pursuit of Benjamin Sesko is a bit more complex, as Red Bull Salzburg does not want to sell the 19-year-old despite the player’s agent broadcasting a Tyneside visit this week.
Sesko is expected to fill the void of Karim Adeyemi and already has 13 caps and two goals for Slovenia. He turned 19 in May, has scored once already this season, and rang up 10 goals and five assists last season.
Newcastle has the money to make this work and the move would come after the club missed out on Huko Ekitike, who opted for Paris Saint-Germain. (NM)
July 20 – Chelsea agree fee for Kounde
This is developing rather quickly, isn’t it? According to a report from The Sun, Chelsea have agreed to pay Sevilla’s asking price of $66 million for Jules Kounde. Per the report, the French defender has agreed personal terms, has spoken with Thomas Tuchel and he could even be present in the U.S. for the final few days of their preseason tour. This would be another massive coup for Chelsea and is exactly what they needed under their new ownership. With Raheem Sterling and Kalidou Koulibaly signed over the last seven days, Kounde’s arrival adds quality and a long-term replacement for outgoing club legend Cesar Azpilicueta. (JPW)
July 20 – Lingard offered big deal by Forest
The Guardian are reporting that Jesse Lingard has been offered a ‘lucrative’ contract by Premier League new boys Nottingham Forest. The 29-year-old is said to want a contract of $215,000 a week and is wanted by West Ham, plus has been linked with Everton, Newcastle, D.C. United and a host of other clubs this summer. But it appears Forest have made their move for a marquee signing. Lingard would add experience and quality to Forest and he knows he would start pretty much every game for the newly-promoted side. It still seems likely that Lingard will head to West Ham, but Forest aren’t messing about in the transfer market this summer, are they? (JPW)
July 20 – Paulo Dybala completes move to Roma
This is a very good move for Roma as Jose Mourinho has worked his magic to sign the Argentine star. Dybala left Juventus as a free agent this summer and was expected to join Inter Milan. However, that move broke down after Inter couldn’t fit Dybala into their wage structure and Roma have pounced. Dybala, 28, has supreme quality and will now feed Tammy Abraham as Roma look to break into the top four of Serie A this season and build off the success of winning the UEFA Conference League title in Mourinho’s first season.

July 20 – Luis Suarez offered to Dortmund
According to our partners in Germany at Sky, Uruguayan legend Luis Suarez has been offered to Borussia Dortmund. Following the shocking news that recently-signed Dortmund striker Sebastien Haller has been diagnosed with a testicular tumour, Dortmund are now planning to be without their new main man up top for several months as he undergoes treatment. Per the report, 35-year-old Suarez is keen on a move to Dortmund and the German giants are exploring the possibility of signing the former Liverpool, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona star. The free agent has been linked with Aston Villa, River Plate and others this summer but this would be a move to a Champions League club and would be a pretty good short-term fit even though Dortmund aren’t renowned for signing veteran players. (JPW)
July 20 – Man City deny Neymar deal
Pep Guardiola has dismissed reports that Manchester City didn’t want to sign Neymar, as a report from Le Parisien stated that Paris Saint-Germain offered the Brazilian star to the reigning Premier League champs in exchange for Bernardo Silva but City turned the deal down.
“It is not true. I am sorry for them because the information was false,” Guardiola said. Neymar is incredible player… Let him express the huge talent he has in Paris with Lionel Messi, Mbappe and others. I would say that Manchester City every season bought 150 players.”
Neymar, 30, has consistently been linked with a move away from PSG this summer as it seems like the French giants are moving away from their model of signing superstars. His talent is undoubted but his injury record has been pretty troubling over the last few years. Neymar would of course fit in very well at City (imagine him linking up with Kevin de Bruyne and Erling Haaland!?) but it seems like this move is a non-starter. If Neymar was to leave PSG this summer, where could he actually go? Given his wages and the potential transfer fee/player in exchange that PSG would ask for, it is a tough to see him moving at all. (JPW)
July 20 – Haji Wright joins Antalyaspor on permanent deal
Striker Haji Wright has joined Antalyaspor permanently after his very successful loan spell at the Turkish top-flight side last season. Wright, 24, was on loan at Antalyaspor from SonderjyskE last season and scored 14 goals in 32 Turkish Super Lig games as they finished in seventh place and were unbeaten in their final 15 league games. That form earned him a return to the USMNT over the summer and despite several teams chasing his signature, he has returned to Antalyaspor and has signed a three-year contract.
With no No. 9 really staking a claim to start for the USMNT at the World Cup in just four months’ time, Wright is up there with Jordan Pefok, Ricardo Pepi and Jesus Ferreira when it comes to options for Gregg Berhalter. Heck, has anybody mentioned Daryl Dike recently? He could have a chance too. Wright will be hoping to hit the ground running at the start of this season to give himself the chance to feature for the USMNT in their friendlies against Saudi Arabia and Japan in September as he aims to impress Berhalter. The USMNT head coach had some interesting comments about Wright following his performances in the CONCACAF Nations League earlier this summer as he wanted Wright to be more physical and hold the ball up better. This move to a place where he flourished last season should be exactly what Wright needs to continue his hot streak and continue to improve in front of goal. (JPW)
July 20 – Guardiola confirms Zinchenko deal
Pep Guardiola has confirmed that Oleksandr Zinchenko will join Arsenal from Manchester City. The Man City boss was speaking in the U.S. ahead of their opening preseason friendly against Club America in Houston and announced that Zinchenko will seal his move to Arsenal as the Ukrainian star has travelled to join up with the Gunners on their own preseason tour of the U.S. and will be announced shortly.
Several of Man City’s players have been praising the versatile midfield/defender and Guardiola had this to say about the departing Zinchenko. (JPW)

July 19 – Battle for Kounde intensifies
A report from Marca in Spain states that Chelsea have made an opening offer of $57 million for Jules Kounde, but the La Liga club want at least $67 million for the French international. Per the report, Kounde and Chelsea have already agreed personal terms over a transfer so this could all move very quickly when/if Sevilla get the price they want.
Chelsea and Barcelona both want to sign Kounde but the latter continue to struggle with balancing the books even though they are signing a lot of new players this summer. Kounde, 23, is a perfect fit for Thomas Tuchel’s 3-4-2-1 system and Chelsea have been trying to sign him for over a year. However, Barca want Kounde to be the center-piece of a new-look defense and if they can financially get a deal done, it seems like a move which could happen. After Koulibaly arrived and with Presnel Kimpembe linked with a move to Stamford Bridge, Tuchel is upgrading his entire defensive unit and Chelsea need to do this if they want to remain in the Premier League’s top four, at the very least, this season. (JPW)
July 19 – Cristiano Ronaldo saga rumbles on as Atletico Madrid linked
Cristiano Ronaldo, 37, is running out of places to move to this summer as Chelsea and Bayern Munich are out, while PSG seems very unlikely. According to a report from AS in Spain, a return to the Spanish capital could be on the cards but no, not to Real Madrid. Per the report, Ronaldo and his representatives have been contacted by Atletico Madrid and Diego Simeone really wants to sign him. As a Real Madrid legend, how would fans of Atleti take this one? If it helps them challenge for trophies in Spain and Europe then they would probably accept it. Could Ronaldo have a similar impact to Luis Suarez turning up in 2020 to help them win the Spanish title? Potentially. Still, it’s tough to see Ronaldo lining up in the red and white stripes of the team he tormented so often during his nine-year stay at Real.
The Portuguese superstar is still wanted by Man United and Erik ten Hag has gone as far as stating that Ronaldo is in his plans for this season and he could see Ronaldo extending his contract for another year (which he holds the option to do so) after a positive 2022-23 campaign. That seems unlikely as Ronaldo clearly wants to leave and although it is just preseason, Erik ten Hag’s front three of Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial and Jadon Sancho seem to be a very good fit as a unit. The kicker to all of this is that either Ronaldo would have to significantly reduce his wage demands or Atletico would have to offload plenty of other forwards just to afford him, with Alvaro Morata and Angel Correa potentially being sold. Is Ronaldo worth it for Atletico? If Simeone thinks he can add the goals and cutting edge his team is sometime lacking and can slot in to their high-pressing, manic style of play, who are we to disagree? (JPW)
July 19 – Bayern confirm talks with Palace over Chris Richards
The intense transfer action for USMNT players continues as Bayern Munich center back Chris Richards could be on his way to the Premier League and Crystal Palace. As our own Andy Edwards detailed here, this move for Richards makes a lot of sense. It makes a lot of sense for Palace too and slots in with Patrick Vieira’s model of buying young players who are good on the ball and can develop together as a unit. Richards, 22, excelled on loan at Hoffenheim and wants to play regularly to make one final push to be the USMNT’s starting center back at the 2022 World Cup. Right now, he is the favorite to play alongside Walker Zimmerman and if he moves to Palace that could happen. However, it may be tough for him to usurp Joachim Andersen and Marc Guehi after they formed such a solid partnership last season. (JPW)

According to Fabrizio Romano, everything has been agreed between the clubs and the player and all that needs to be completed now is a medical. Zinchenko, 25, will add incredible versatility to Arsenal and is expected to play down the left or in central midfield. He’s a player that Mikel Arteta knows very well from his time as Man City’s assistant coach and the Ukrainian star will become a regular at Arsenal. (JPW)

Our partners in the UK at Sky Sports believe West Ham are closing in on signing free agent Jesse Lingard. The 29-year-old England international has been linked with a move to D.C. United in recent days but it appears the former Hammers loanee could be heading back to the London Stadium to link up with David Moyes once again. Lingard enjoyed a superb second half of the 2020-21 season, helping West Ham finish sixth in the Premier League. However, he decided to head back to Man United for the final year of his contract at Old Trafford. Lingard barely featured but he is wanted by plenty of teams as his quality in the final third is undoubted. Everton and Newcastle were oft-linked with the attacking midfielder but heading back to West Ham makes perfect sense for Lingard and the Hammers. (JPW)

July 19 – Zack Steffen signs for Middlesbrough on loan
Middlesbrough have announced the signing of USMNT goalkeeper Zack Steffen on loan for the 2022-23 season. Steffen, 27, joins the Championship promotion hopefuls after being given assurances he will get regular playing time. The Pennsylvania native recently signed a long-term contract at Manchester City but he hasn’t been able to usurp the exceptional Ederson as the starting goalkeeper and he really needs more than a handful of cup games before the World Cup in November.
This move is a good one for the USMNT and certainly puts Steffen ahead of Matt Turner in the pecking order when it comes to being ready and being selected as the No. 1 for Gregg Berhalter’s side at the World Cup. Turner has just joined Arsenal and unless something crazy happens, he will be the back-up to Aaron Ramsdale. As for Steffen, he will now be the main man for Chris Wilder’s side as they are among the favorites to secure promotion from the Championship to the Premier League. (JPW)

Spence excelled while he was on loan at Nottingham Forest last season and it is believed he’s signed for Spurs for an initial $15 million fee and add ons could take the deal to $24 million. Spence is regarded as one of the top young right back prospects in England and he will push Emerson Royal and Matt Doherty all the way for a starting spot. Spence is exactly the kind of right wing-back Conte loves in his 3-4-3 system and his attacking instincts will slot in really well at Spurs. (JPW)

July 18 – Push to sign Kimpembe, Kounde is on
So, yeah, Chelsea are having a right go in this transfer window, aren’t they? And they needed too, especially defensively. According to this report from Fabrizio Romano the Blues have now gone back in for Sevilla and France center back Jules Kounde and are trying to seal a deal for Presnel Kimpembe too, with multiple outlets stating Chelsea have made a $48 million bid to PSG for Kimpembe.
Focusing on Kounde, Chelsea chased the 23-year-old over the last few transfer windows and now that Barcelona appear to be trying to sign him, Chelsea are going back in. With Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen leaving this summer, plus Cesar Azpilicueta’s future uncertain, Tuchel needs reinforcements at center back. With Kalidou Koulibaly already arriving and Thiago Silva around he has plenty of experience, but the moves for Kounde and 26-year-old Kimpembe proves they are also trying to sign players who will be the heart of their defense for the next four to five years.
Both would be a very good fit for Tuchel’s 3-4-2-1 system and imagine if Chelsea have Kounde, Koulibaly and Kimpembe starting at center back this season with Thiago Silva around to slot in when needed? That would be sublime. Having mobile and aggressive center backs who are calm on the ball is key to the way Tuchel wants his teams to play and he knows Kimpembe well from his time at PSG. With the midfield pretty much set, plus Raheem Sterling added to the attack, strengthening the defense is key for Chelsea in the final six weeks of the window. (JPW)

July 18 – Armando Broja heading to West Ham?
It appears that Albania and Chelsea striker Armando Broja could be heading to West Ham, as the Hammers are willing to pay up to $36 million to sign him permanently. Broja, 20, impressed on loan at Southampton last season and the powerful forward has been wanted by a host of teams on a permanent deal this summer and the Guardian believe Broja doesn’t want another loan move but is pushing to sign somewhere permanently.
Per our partners in the UK at Sky Sports, Broja will travel back to the UK after only just arriving on Chelsea’s preseason tour of the U.S. as he has a small injury but has also told the club he wants to move. Everton may match any offer from West Ham, while Newcastle and Southampton are also said to be interested. If Broja does sign for David Moyes’ side, it makes sense for all involved. The Hammers need plenty of additions in attack to help ease the burden on Michail Antonio and this should be a good move for Broja too. He will play in the UEFA Conference League and make a step up from a midtable team in Southampton to a team like West Ham who will once again hope to push into the top six of the Premier League. He isn’t going to play much at Chelsea this season as Tuchel seems to be fine with having Kai Havertz, Raheem Sterling and Timo Werner as his center forward options. (JPW)
July 16 – Frenkie de Jong on Barcelona’s U.S. tour
So, it appears that Frenkie de Jong won’t be heading to Manchester United anytime soon. The Dutch midfielder has flown to the U.S. as part of Barcelona’a squad for their preseason tour. De Jong was seen laughing and joking with Memphis Depay (another Dutch player at Barca who could be on the move this summer) on the plane. It seems like De Jong really doesn’t want to leave Barcelona at all, even though United have reportedly agreed a transfer fee for him. This is going to be a saga which continues to roll on, folks, and it will get even more intriguing as Barca continue to sign new players like Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski.

July 16 – Bayern and Barcelona agree Robert Lewandowski deal
Barcelona have agreed a fee (believed to be $50.3 million) with Bayern Munich for the transfer of Robert Lewandowski. The 33-year-old superstar has wanted this move all summer long and finally it has happened. Bayern’s sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic confirmed that Lewandowski will now fly to the U.S. to link up with Barcelona on their tour.
“FC Barcelona and Bayern Munich have reached an agreement in principle for the transfer of Robert Lewandowski, dependent on the player passing a medical and contracts being signed,” said the La Liga club in a statement.
The Catalan club now have an incredible number of attacking talents after signing Raphinha from Leeds, plus agreeing a new contract with Ousmane Dembele, Xavi now has the following forwards to choose from: Raphinha, Lewandowski, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Ansu Fati, Memphis Depay, Ferran Torres and Martin Braithwaite. Surely the likes of Memphis and Braithwaite will be moved on this summer? When it comes to the finances of all of these deals (Barca have also signed Andreas Christensen and Franck Kessie on free contracts this summer), many are trying to figure out exactly how they can pull this off. A recent cash injection for 10 percent of their TV rights helped fuel this spending spree, but this is all still a bit of a head-scratcher. Still, a more solid Barcelona outfit under Xavi now has serious firepower up top with Lewandowski leading the line and Auba out wide. (JPW)

July 15 – Christian Eriksen signs for Manchester United
Christian Eriksen, 30, has signed for Manchester United as a free agent. The Danish playmaker has finally completed the move and he has signed a three-year contract at Old Trafford. This is another big move for the Red Devils as Eriksen will play a key role in helping Erik ten Hag implement his playing style.
Eriksen said the following about his arrival at Old Trafford: “Manchester United is a special club, and I cannot wait to get started. I have had the privilege of playing at Old Trafford many times but to do it in the red shirt of United will be an amazing feeling.
“I have seen Erik’s work at Ajax and know the level of detail and preparation that he and his staff put into every day. It is clear that he is a fantastic coach. Having spoken with him and learned more about his vision and the way he wants the team to play, I am even more excited for the future. I still have major ambitions in the game, there is a huge amount that I know I can achieve, and this is the perfect place to continue my journey.”
This is a superb free transfer from United and Eriksen showed his quality in the second half of last season at Brentford. His intelligence on the ball and ability to play in a variety of roles across midfield and attack will be invaluable for United. So too will his experience as United have a world-class midfielder ready to help make them tick. Now, how will ETH fit Eriksen, Bruno Fernandes and potentially Frenkie de Jong into the same team?

July 15 – Raphinha completes $70 million move to Barcelona
it is finally complete. Raphinha has sealed his dream move to Barcelona as the Brazilian international has left Leeds United. This one has been dragging on for a long, long time but after Chelsea and Arsenal appeared to be close to signing Raphinha, the delays were all about one thing: signing for Barcelona. Raphinha, 25, excelled in his two years at Leeds United with 17 goals and 12 assists in the Premier League. With Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Ansu Fati and Ousmane Dembele Barcelona’s main attackers, Rpahinha will be pushing for a starting spot right away. As for Leeds, Raphinha will be tough to replace but USMNT star Brenden Aaronson is tasked with filling that void. (JPW)

July 15 – Frenkie de Jong saga takes another twist
This is rumbling on and on isn’t it? Frenkie de Jong doesn’t really want to leave Barcelona (at least that is how it seems from the reports in Spain) and this deal is being made more complicated because the Dutch international is owed over $20 million in wages by Barcelona. Those wages were deferred during the start of the pandemic to help the Catalan club with soaring costs but have yet to be repaid. United have apparently agreed a transfer fee with Barcelona to sign De Jong but the Dutch midfielder isn’t going to leave the Nou Camp without his previous wages being paid. What a mess. (JPW)
July 15 – Ake deal off; Zinchenko talks continue
Nathan Ake will not be leaving Manchester City this summer, according to Fabrizio Romano, as the Dutch international is needed by Pep Guardiola. The center back, 27, was linked with a move back to Chelsea but that won’t happen and according to reports, the Blues aren’t delighted about the move stalling late on. With Presnel Kimpembe potentially on his way to partner Kalidou Koulibaly, Chelsea should have plenty of options at center back but probably need one more signing to back-up Thiago Silva and Cesar Azpilicueta (if he stays) as youngster Levi Colwill will also be on the move.

As for a player who could well be leaving Manchester City, it appears Oleksandr Zinchenko is edging closer to a move to Arsenal. The Ukraine star could play at left back, in midfield or on the left wing for Arsenal and his minutes would increase with the Gunners. Like Gabriel Jesus, he’s a player who knows Mikel Arteta really well and he would slot in perfectly to Arsenal’s system. Zinchenko is the back-up for Joao Cancelo at City and it doesn’t seem like he will become a starter week in, week out with the reigning Premier League champs also looking to sign Brighton’s Marc Cucurella this summer. If the Ukrainian captain moves to Arsenal then he could become a regular starter, especially if Arteta moves to a back three in a 3-4-2-1 formation and Kieran Tierney plays as a left-sided center back. Zinchenko would be a perfect fit for the left wing-back role in that system. (JPW)
July 14 – Cristiano Ronaldo gets $250 million offer
What’s money to a player as rich and accomplished as Cristiano Ronaldo? We’re about to find out. Reports claim that Ronaldo has been offered a remarkable $125 million per year for two years to sign for a club in Saudi Arabia.
Ronaldo, 37, is expected to sign on for at least one more shot at European glory but $250 million can fund an awful lot of future goals, can’t it? Manchester United would get around $30 million and another $20 million would go to agents and representatives. Saudi Arabia has been accused of sports-washing with its big-money LIV Tour golf league and a number of other sports ventures. (NM)
July 13 – Lisandro Martinez to Manchester United edges closer
Manchester United seem to have finally got a deal over the line for Lisandro Martinez. The Ajax and Argentina defender was a key man for Erik ten Hag last season and he will add extra steel and quality on the ball to United’s defense. Arsenal were also interested in Martinez for most of this summer but it appears United have got their man and their defensive will not look a lot sturdier and ready to play ETH’s tactics. (JPW)

The England international has signed for Chelsea after a stellar seven seasons at Manchester City. Sterling will be the main man in attack for Thomas Tuchel and will give him them the clinical edge and pace they need in attack. This is a massive upgrade for Chelsea and proves the ambition of their new owners, as Sterilng will excel in the 3-4-2-1 formation in one of the underneath roles, or even up top as the central striker.

July 12 – Wolves sign center back Nathan Collins from Burnley
The parade of Burnley players signing elsewhere upon the club’s relegation from the Premier League continues with Nathan Collins’ move from claret to gold.
The Republic of Ireland center back played a big part in the Clarets nearly keeping their place In the top flight, but instead will net the club more than $25 million as he elects to stay in the PL and join Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Wolves let Romain Saiss leave this summer, so Collins will join Max Kilman and Conor Coady in Bruno Lage’s improved, tight back line.
Collins, 21, joins James Tarkowski (Everton), Nick Pope (Newcastle), and Wout Weghorst (loan, Besiktas) to leave Burnley, while Ben Mee and Erik Pieters are among the players released by the club ahead of Vincent Kompany’s first matches in the Championship. (NM)
July 12 – United calm over Frenkie de Jong, Eriksen deals + interest in Lisandro Martinez, Antony remains
Manchester United are staying as a cool as a cucumber in the transfer market this summer. Well, that’s if you believe the latest reports. Our partners in the UK at Sky Sports say that United’s hierarchy in Barcelona are working through the finer details of a deal to finally sign Frenkie de Jong from Barca and are feeling ‘comfortable’ in this situation. They also say that United are very confident that Christian Eriksen will sign a contract and join them as a free agent, as Erik ten Hag’s side could have some top class additions heading their way very soon indeed. United are currently on their preseason tour of Asia and Australia and by the time they fly to the latter they will hope to have De Jong and Eriksen with them.
United are staying strong on the targets they want to sign and that’s a good thing. They have a clear philosophy and plan when it comes to player recruitment and ETH is obviously very involved in this. These deals along with Ten Hag saying that Cristiano Ronaldo isn’t for sale shows that United are willing to play the long game to keep the players they have and make the correct additions. That’s admirable but we are less than a month away from the kick off to the new season and Erik ten Hag needs these new additions badly.
Talking of new additions, per the report United are also in talks over signing Ajax defender Lisandro Martinez but there is a little gap in valuation with the Dutch giants. Ajax and Brazil forward Antony is also on their radar but the first deals to get done will be Frenkie de Jong and Eriksen. If United get these four deals over the line in the next week or so, positivity will be rife and Ronaldo may just change his mind about this rebuild. (JPW)
July 12 – Gabriel Slonina deal back on?
Just when it looked like USMNT goalkeeper Gabriel Slonina, 18, would not be heading to Chelsea, it appears the deal is back on. According to Fabrizio Romano, a deal for Slonina is back in the works as Todd Boehly is dealing with it personally. The American goalkeeper is regarded as one of the top young prospects in the world and Real Madrid were said to be pushing Chelsea to sign him. Per the report, Slonina will stay at Chicago Fire on loan and the deal will be worth over $10 million plus add ons. It appears that Slonina will be one for the future for Chelsea as Edouard Mendy will be their goalkeeper for many years to come. That said, Slonina could come in as the No. 2 in the next few years and gain valuable experience, plus this move opens up the opportunity to head elsewhere in Europe on loan. (JPW)
Chelsea have reached verbal agreement with Chicago Fire for Gabriel Slonina, after direct talks between Todd Boehly and MLS club. 10m deal plus add-ons, he'd stay at Chicago on loan. 🔵🇺🇸 #CFC

July 12 – Nathan Ake, Kalidou Koulibaly lined up
According to Fabrizio Romano, Napoli and Senegal center back Kalidou Koulibaly remains on Chelsea’s wish list as they aim to sign new center back. Negotiations for Nathan Ake are continuing too, as Thomas Tuchel looks to rebuild his defense. Matthijs de Ligt seems to be heading to Bayern Munich from Juventus, so Chelsea have given up pursuing the Dutch center back. Koulibaly has a huge contract offer on the table from Napoli but per the report, talks with his agent have continued and he is seen as a key man for the Blues.
David Ornstein is now reporting that Chelsea are even closer to signing Koulibaly for a deal worth over $40 million.
🚨 Chelsea close to agreements on fee + personal terms to sign Kalidou Koulibaly. Not done & Napoli often tricky but talks moving towards ~€40m deal + long-term contract for 31yo. Likes of Kimpembe, Kounde, Ake remain in mix @TheAthleticUK #CFC #SSCNapoli https://t.co/Izox1JeuN5
— David Ornstein (@David_Ornstein) July 12, 2022
How big of a priority is center back for Chelsea? In a word, huge. After losing Antonio Rudiger to Real Madrid and Andreas Christensen to Barcelona on free transfers, captain Cesar Azpilicueta could also be heading to Barca and that leaves Chelsea very short in defense. Ake and Koulibaly would be perfect fits for Chelsea’s 3-4-2-1 system and Koulibaly would be a very good direct replacement for Antonio Rudiger. Koulibaly will be expensive but he does have just one year left on his contract at Napoli and the 31-year-old may feel like now is the time to take his talents to the Premier League after what seems like constant links in every single transfer window of the last five years. (JPW)
July 12 – Raphinha edging closer to Barcelona move
This really has become a saga but it appears that Raphinha’s move to Barcelona is closer to completion. Fabrizio Romano has said that Leeds have finally accepted a bid from Barca and now the only wait is until the Catalan club can afford to register Raphinha and complete the deal. Raphinha, 25, was wanted by a host of Premier League clubs and it looked like he would join Chelsea after they had a bid accepted. However, his dream has always been to play for Barcelona and the Brazil international looks to have got his move. His departure (along with Kalvin Phillips) is a big blow for Leeds but they have already reinvested this money to buy Tyler Adams, Luis Sinisterra, Brenden Aaronson, Rasmus Kristensen, Darko Gyabi and Marc Roca. As for Raphinha, he will play a key role at Barcelona who are likely to move on plenty of other players this summer as Xavi freshens up his squad. It is quite likely that Raphinha, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Ansu Fati and Ferran Torres will be Barcelona’s main men in attack. (JPW)
Barcelona have finally submitted the official bid for Raphinha, Leeds are set to accept! €58m fixed fee, up to €68m with add-ons. Deal at final stages. 🚨🇧🇷 #FCB

July 12 – Blues interested in Serge Gnabry?
A report from the Daily Mail claims that Chelsea have turned their attention to Serge Gnabry after Raphinha appears to be heading to Barcelona. Gnabry, 26, is valued at $53 million by Bayern Munich and the Germany international has just one year left on his contract, with Chelsea reaching out to Bayern about his availability. The silky winger creates and scores goals galore and with Chelsea set to add Raheem Sterling and chasing other forward options, it is clear Thomas Tuchel wants to freshen up his attack. Romelu Lukaku has been loaned out to Inter Milan, Hakim Ziyech could be leaving for AC Milan, while the likes of Christian Pulisic and Timo Werner have also been linked with moves away.
Would Gnabry slot in well at Chelsea? Everything suggests so. He is versatile, clinical in the final third and along with Sterling would give Chelsea’s attacking unit a totally different look. Tuchel prefers to play without a target forward and Sterling and Gnabry could start underneath Havertz, or one of them could even start up top with Mason Mount in the attacking midfield position. Gnabry would give Tuchel flexibility and the German coach loves that from his team. Gnabry doesn’t appear to be closer to agreeing a new contract at Bayern Munich and Chelsea could take advantage of that situation. (JPW)
July 11 – Manchester United, Arsenal linked with Kante move
Now, N’Golo Kante is still probably in the top three defensive midfielders in the world when he’s fully fit, so why would Chelsea sell him? Kante, 31, has just one year left on his contract at Chelsea and it appears he may be ready for a new challenge. With that in mind, the Daily Star claims that Manchester United want to rival Arsenal to sign Kante this summer. Kante is currently in the UK and not on Chelsea’s preseason tour of the U.S. due to his vaccination status not allowing him to enter the United States of America.
Should Chelsea cash in on Kante now? They will likely get close to $50 million for him if they sold him this summer and the French international struggled increasingly with injuries last season. Manchester United would seem like a better fit than Arsenal right now, as the latter have Granit Xhaka and Thomas Partey in central midfield while United’s need for a true holding midfielder is well-known. If United don’t sign Frenkie de Jong then it’s probably because Chelsea have made a move for him, so that could actually free up Kante to head to Old Trafford. When he’s fit and firing on all cylinders there are still few defensive midfielders better than him in the world. (JPW)
July 11 – Paul Pogba, Angel di Maria complete Juventus moves
Juve have signed free agents Paul Pogba and Angel di Maria, as the French and Argentine superstars have been unveiled by the Turin club. These moves mirror Juve’s long-admired model of signing the best free agents available and will give Max Allegri’s side plenty of class and experience heading into the Serie A and UEFA Champions League campaign. Weston McKennie will do battle with Pogba for a starting spot at Juve, while Di Maria will add real quality in the final third and is a direct replacement for Paulo Dybala. Very good business by Juve, as they are clearly paying Pogba and Di Maria a lot in wages but they haven’t had to pay a transfer fee. (JPW)

Highly-rated central midfielder Cheick Doucoure has signed for Crystal Palace from Lens in Ligue 1. The Mali international will be a key man in Patrick Vieira’s side as they continue to add quality and depth to their squad. Doucoure is a solid defensive midfielder who should slot in seamlessly at Palace and he will battle with James McArthur, Cheikhou Kouyate and Luka Milivojevic for minutes.

Wow, Forest are really going for it huh? The Premier League new boys made their sixth signing of the summer window as Neco Williams arrived from Liverpool. The right back, 21, excelled on loan at Fulham in the Championship last season but he just won’t be able to usurp Liverpool’s star full backs. This move is a really good one for the Wales international and Williams was wanted by plenty of Premier League clubs. Steve Cooper’s history of developing young talent has enticed Williams and Omar Richards to move to the City Ground and Williams’ attacking instincts will slot in well with Forest’s playing philosophy. (JPW)

July 10 – Omar Richards completes Nottingham Forest transfer
Newly promoted Nottingham Forest completed a transfer for English left back Omar Richards, who spent last season at Bayern Munich, for $10.2 million. Richards made 12 Bundesliga appearances for Bayern, after signing from Reading on a free transfer. Richards is not yet capped by England at the senior international level (he has one appearance for England’s U-21 team), and he could choose to represent Jamaica in the future.
Nottingham Forest manager Steve Cooper was predictably delighted for Richards’ arrival to the City Ground: (AE)
“I’ve seen a lot of Omar through his time with Reading and, alongside our recruitment team, we have been following his progress in Germany. He previously established himself as one of the best full backs in the Championship, but has since gone on to experience the Champions League and the Bundesliga with one of the biggest clubs in the world.”

July 7 – Leeds adds prolific Feyenoord left wing
Leeds United have signed five-times capped Colombia winger Luis Sinisterra from Feyenoord for a reported $25 million.
Sinisterra scored 23 times with 14 assists in 49 appearances last season as Feyenoord reached the Conference League final before losing to AS Roma.
The move will be viewed as a replacement for expected departure of Raphinha, who’s been linked with Chelsea, Arsenal, and Barcelona.
Sinisterra compares favorably to Raphinha, even accounting for league differences. Sinisterra is a better passer, better in the air, and a more dangerous dribbler, but Raphinha crossed more often than the Colombian.
Leeds have already signed Brenden Aaronson, Rasmus Kristensen, Marc Roca, Darko Gyabi and Tyler Adams this summer. (NM)

July 6 – Chelsea, Man City reportedly agree Sterling fee
Raheem Sterling has agreed to move to Chelsea as the Blues’ first big signing of the summer, according to multiple reports.
The 27-year-old England star would move with the World Cup looming in November and mark the second $50 million or more exit from Man City this summer after Gabriel Jesus left for Arsenal.
What will the move mean to Man City and Chelsea? More details on the proposed move, here. (NM)
July 6 – Chelsea could move for Benjamin Pavard
Benjamin Pavard is reportedly a target for Chelsea, according to the Daily Mirror. And our partners at Sky in Germany believe that the 26-year-old could move on from Bayern Munich this summer after the reigning German champs signed Noussair Mazaroui from Ajax. Per the report Chelsea believe that their main defensive target, Matthijs de Ligt, could be heading to Bayern instead so they are lining up alternatives. As for Pavard, he is a right back primarily but is very comfortable playing anywhere in defense and the French international has an eye for goal and can deliver real quality on the ball going forward.
Pavard is exactly the kind of player who would slot into Thomas Tuchel’s 3-4-2-1 formation seamlessly and this feels like a long-term replacement for Cesar Azpilicueta. Chelsea have been linked with plenty of players in recent weeks as the new ownership have finally arrived at the club and chairman Todd Boehly is trying to get plenty of deals done before the Blues head on their tour of the U.S. this summer. Pavard would be perfect and with Nathan Ake, Prisnel Kimpembe and Jules Kounde all linked with a move to Chelsea, defensive reinforcements are right at the top of Tuchel’s wish-list after Andreas Christensen and Antonio Rudiger moved on this summer. (JPW)
July 6 – Blues set to bid for Sporting Lisbon’s Matheus Nunes
According to a report from A Bola in Portugal, Chelsea are set to bid for Sporting Lisbon midfielder Matheus Nunes. Per the report, Chelsea will bid over $45 million to sign the silky, two-way central midfielder. Could that mean the likes of Jorginho (who was linked with Juventus) may leave Chelsea this summer? Thomas Tuchel and new chairman Todd Boehly — who is also acting as a temporary head of recruitment — are trying to make plenty of moves as they are chasing Nathan Ake, Jules Kounde and Matthijs de Ligt to strengthen their defense, plus chasing deals for Raheem Sterling, Raphinha and Cristiano Ronaldo. Apparently the idea of Nunes heading to Chelsea came up with Jorge Mendes (also Ronaldo’s agent) met with Boehly recently.
What type of player is Nunes? The Portuguese international is a creative box-to-box midfielder who loves to dictate the tempo of the game and the 23-year-old is regarded as one of the top young midfielders in the game. Is this an area of the pitch Chelsea need to strengthen? Potentially. Jorginho is getting towards the end of his career, Kante was injury prone last season and Mateo Kovacic also had injury issues. Nunes seems to be exactly the kind of midfielder Tuchel likes in his 3-4-2-1 system as he gets on the ball, drives forward, keeps it well and is precise with his passing. (JPW)
July 6 – Newcastle interested in Anthony Gordon
Our partners in the UK at Sky Sports believe that Newcastle have been in contact with Everton to try and sign Anthony Gordon. The 21-year-old has already had interest from Tottenham this summer as the England U21 winger is a rising star in the Premier League. Gordon is highly-regarded by Everton and it would be very surprising if he was sold as the Toffees have already sold Richarlison this summer.
However, with some financial uncertainty at the club, Frank Lampard may have to reluctantly sell Gordon to raise funds for his squad rebuild after Everton just avoided relegation last season. Would Newcastle be a good fit for Gordon? Eddie Howe has a reputation for developing young talent but some of those kind of buys at Bournemouth didn’t quite work out how they were meant to. See: Ibe, Jordon. Solanke, Dominic. Danjuma, Arnaut. Newcastle have Allan Saint-Maximin, Miguel Almiron, Matt Ritchie, Ryan Fraser and Jacob Murphy out wide but Gordon would probably be a starter if he made this move. The way Newcastle play would suit him and if Newcastle can agree a fee, this would be another very savvy buy. (JPW)
July 6 – Gabriel Slonina’s move to Chelsea appears to be off
It seems like Gabriel Slonina, 18, will not be heading to Chelsea. According to the London Evening Standard, a deal for Slonina to head to Stamford Bridge has been halted. Real Madrid and Wolves have also been linked with a move for the Chicago Fire product, who was close to joining Chelsea in January before sanctions were placed on the club and several key individuals on the recruitment side have since left. Slonina is highly-rated and has already been in the full USMNT squad as he continues to shine in MLS week after week. His future definitely lies in Europe but it seems like he won’t be signing for Chelsea. (JPW)
July 5 – Pogba set for Juventus move
Not exactly breaking news, unless you failed to believe numerous reports dating back to January that seemed to only increase in strength of opinion, but Paul Pogba’s free transfer will see him sign with Juventus.
Pogba enjoyed his best club seasons at Juve and returns to Turin with a World Cup under his best and having given them a then-record haul for his transfer to Manchester United.
Open arms? You betcha. The move has not been announced yet, but Sky Sports says Pogba will sign his new deal on Saturday following a medical in Italy. (NM)
July 5- Southampton to active $13M release clause of Rangers star

Aribo has 20 caps and two goals for Nigeria and is coming off a nine-goal, 10-assist season in all comps with Rangers.

July 5 – Done deal! Tyrell Malacia signs for Manchester United
The first signing of the Erik ten Hag era is confirmed, as left back Tyrell Malacia has arrived from Feyenoord for up to $17.5 million. The Dutch international, 22, will compete with Luke Shaw for a starting spot and has signed a four-year contract with an option to extend for a further year. Malacia is an attack-minded full back and played a key role in Feyenoord reaching the UEFA Conference League final last season, as he also broke into the Dutch national team and knows all about Erik ten Hag’s playing philosophy. With United reportedly closing in on deals to sign Christian Eriksen and Frenkie de Jong too, the ETH era is building some momentum.

July 5 – Tyler Adams set for Leeds medical: is this a good move for all parties?
According to Fabrizio Romano, USMNT midfielder Tyler Adams is set for a Leeds medical this week. The 23-year-old will cost Leeds up to $24 million (which will be paid in instalments) and is seen as a replacement for Kalvin Phillips. However, as I said in this analysis piece, the New York Red Bulls product is a very different player to Phillips. That said, he’s a very good fit for what Jesse Marsch is trying to build at Leeds and alongside Marc Roca the duo could have a similar impact to Phillips, plus give the Yorkshire club more defensive solidity. (JPW)
July 5 – Ronaldo linked with Barcelona as United don’t know when he will turn up
Our partners in the UK at Sky Sports have confirmed that Cristiano Ronaldo, 37, did not arrive at Manchester United’s Carrington training ground for the first day of preseason. Ronaldo is still in Portugal and has yet to return to Manchester and Sky say that United aren’t sure whether or not Ronaldo will turn up for the preseason tour.
Where will he go? According to The Independent Ronaldo is willing to take a huge pay-cut just to get his move. A report from Spanish outlet AS also claims that Barcelona president Joan Laporta has been in talks with Ronaldo’s agent Jorge Mendes about a sensational move for the Real Madrid legend. Surely not!? That craziness aside a move to Chelsea or Bayern Munich seems most likely for Ronaldo if he does get his wish to Manchester United. (JPW)
July 4 – Cristiano Ronaldo fails to turn up for preseason due to ‘family reasons’
Our partners in the UK at Sky Sports have confirmed that Cristiano Ronaldo, 37, has not arrived at Manchester United’s Carrington training ground for the first day of preseason. Why? The reports say there are ‘family reasons’ why Ronaldo hasn’t returned on time and that the club are happy with that reason and all is well. In reality, this slots in with Ronaldo reportedly asking to be sold this summer if an acceptable offer arrives. He has just one year left on his contract but the club are apparently unwilling to sell him and plan on him being around this season.
With United scheduled to fly to Asia and Australia for their preseason tour in the coming days, it is clear that Ronaldo is having serious doubts about the Erik ten Hag era and wants a move. Most of United’s squad returned to training last week and other international players (aside from Ronaldo) arrived on Monday morning to being preseason. In the next few days we are about to find out if this saga will take another twist as reports suggest ETH will sit down with Ronaldo and try to work out any issues he has about the season ahead. (JPW)
July 4 – Chelsea once again linked with Cristiano Ronaldo move
A report from The Athletic claims that Chelsea chairman Todd Boehly has been in talks with Jorge Mendes about a potential deal for Cristiano Ronaldo. Ronaldo, 37, has reportedly told United he wants to move on this summer and he did not turn up for the first day of preseason due to ‘family reasons’ as it appears his second spell at Old Trafford is coming to an abrupt end. Per this report, Chelsea are exploring if they could do a deal for Ronaldo but there are apparently some hestitations from Thomas Tuchel about Ronaldo being a good fit for the Blues.
Would this work? Firstly, it would be shocking if Man United sold Ronaldo to a direct top four rival in the Premier League. Why would they do that? Ronaldo is under contract for another season so they would rather keep him against his will for one season rather than strengthen a rival. Secondly, it’s quite clear that Ronaldo would score plenty of goals at Chelsea but would his arrival upset the balance of the squad as it did at United? The second point is wading into muddy waters as Chelsea have had success in bringing in a superstar veteran (Thiago Silva) and if Ronaldo is willing to work with their talented youngsters, he will get plenty of chances to score. Chelsea need a new No. 9 after loaning out Romelu Lukaku and Ronaldo wants to play in the Champions League, which Chelsea are in. On the face of it, this makes sense for everyone aside from Manchester United. That is the big problem. (JPW)
July 4 – Christian Pulisic not keen to leave Chelsea despite Juventus interest
Christian Pulisic has a big summer ahead of him as the USMNT star will be thinking long and hard about his future at club level. Should he stay at Chelsea? Should he leave? Where should he go? The latest report on his situation is from The Daily Mail, as they say Christian Pulisic wants to stay at Chelsea despite interest in him from Juventus. Per the report, Pulisic is not keen on a move to Juve.
This follows a report on his future from The Daily Telegraph, as they said that Chelsea have offered Juventus one of Pulisic and Timo Werner, plus cash, for Matthijs de Ligt. Of course, USMNT fans will be hoping whatever happens with Christian Pulisic at Chelsea will be best for the U.S. ahead of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. This is a very tough decision for Pulisic as he could stay at Chelsea but move behind Raheem Sterling, and other potential new signings, in the pecking order. Or he could head somewhere else and it may take him time to settle in too. It really is a 50/50 decision for the American star and it also depends heavily on whether or not Thomas Tuchel plans on giving him a big role this season. (JPW)
July 4 – Christian Eriksen agrees to Manchester United move
Christian Eriksen has agreed to move to Manchester United in a big boost for new manager Erik ten Hag. According to David Ornstein from The Athletic, the Danish playmaker has agreed to a three-year contract at Old Trafford. The free agent, 30, will now undergo a medical before linking up with Erik ten Hag’s side. Eriksen had been wanted by Tottenham, Brentford (where he spent the second half of last season on a short-term deal) and many others, but he’s picked United who seem him as being key to ushering in Erik ten Hag’s possession-based style. The fact Eriksen came through the ranks at Ajax will no doubt be helpful in totally understanding ETH’s methods and ushering in a new era at United.
Is this a good move for all involved? United will get a quality player who has real class on set pieces and can dictate the tempo of the game. Eriksen could play in a slightly deeper role to slot into the starting lineup alongside Frenkie de Jong and Bruno Fernandes but that would still be a pretty attack-minded midfield trio. Anyway, wherever he plays Eriksen will deliver goals and assists and this is a savvy signing by United as they aren’t paying a transfer fee. For Eriksen, he will get to playing regularly at one of the top clubs in the world as this is what his talent deserves. After his incredible comeback from a cardiac arrest in the summer of 2021, he oozed class at Brentford over the final months of the 2021-22 season. (JPW)
July 4 – Contrasting reports over Chelsea’s push to sign Raheem Sterling
Our partners in the UK at Sky Sports have heard contrasting reports when it comes to Raheem Sterling to Chelsea. One source said a fee is close to being agreed, while another played that down. What we do know is that Thomas Tuchel wants to sign Sterling, 27, and now is probably a good time for him to move on from Man City. Sterling has one year left on his contract at City and Pep Guardiola rotated him in and out of the team more than he would have liked last season. Sterling would be a big upgrade on Chelsea’s current attacking options and Tuchel wants to inject more pace and incisiveness into his attack. Sterling would provide that and even if many believe he should have scored more goals for City, he has still banged in 131 goals in 339 appearances over the last seven seasons and has been ridiculously consistent. (JPW)
July 4 – Everton join race for Tyler Adams as Leeds begin talks
As Leeds push for Tyler Adams appears to be intensifying, another Premier League club has entered the race. According to a report from The Daily Mail, Adams is also wanted by Everton. The 23-year-old looks set to leave Leipzig this summer and it is believed he is very keen on heading to the Premier League and playing for his former boss Jesse Marsch. But he does have another option with the report saying that Everton are keen on signing Adams too. Adams is seen as being part of a new central midfield duo at Leeds, as RB Salzburg’s Mohamed Camara is also wanted by the Yorkshire club as they aim to replace Kalvin Phillips with two new midfielders.
Where would be the best fit for Adams? Actually, it is probably Everton. Frank Lampard likes to play a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 formation and Adams would be perfect as one of the central midfielders in this system. Yes, his close ties to Marsch (who coached him in New York and Leipzig) is key when it comes to a potential move to Leeds but would a more possession-based style suit him better rather than Leeds’ high-pressing tactics? Probably. At least Tyler Adams will have options and USMNT fans can be pretty sure that if he joins either Leeds or Everton this summer he will play more minutes than if he stayed at Leipzig. (JPW)
July 4 – Gabriel Jesus to Arsenal signed, sealed, delivered
What a move for Arsenal this is. Gabriel Jesus, 25, has joined the Gunners for $54.7 million from Manchester City and Mikel Arteta will be absolutely delighted with this deal. With Erling Haaland and Julian Alvarez arriving this summer, Jesus needed to move to get more minutes as he aims to start for Brazil at the World Cup in November. He has found the perfect spot at Arsenal as they needed a number nine, his playing style and philosophy matches theirs perfectly and he knows Arteta very well from the latter being Man City’s assistant coach. This transfer works so well for everyone it actually hurts. Now, if Jesus can just become a little more clinical this will be one of the deals of the summer but at least we now know that Jesus wants to play up front instead of on the right. (JPW)

July 4 – Kalvin Phillips completes Man City move
This is another move which costs an initial $54.7 million, as England international midfielder Kalvin Phillips has switched his boyhood club Leeds for Manchester City. Phillips is the long-term replacement for Fernandinho and will add steel, creativity and class to City’s engine room. This seems like a very good fit for Pep Guardiola and the transfer fee is pretty decent too. Perhaps that was impacted by Phillips having a rough 2021-22 season as he spent most of it out injured. Regardless of those struggles, the Yorkshire Pirlo has an incredible range of passing and he should slot in very nicely alongside Rodri to give City’s stable of wonderful attacking players plenty of license to roam free. Phillips, 26, is joining in his prime and Guardiola will no doubt take his game to the next level. (JPW)
July 3 – Raphinha prefers Barcelona move over Chelsea transfer
According to Barcelona president Joan Laporta — so, you know, take it with a grain of salt and all that — Leeds attacker Raphinha would prefer to move to Barcelona this summer, over the alternative option which is a transfer to fellow Premier League side Chelsea. (AE)
“We have spoken with Leeds about Raphinha and there is an open line of communication. Other clubs are interested in the player, but we know that he wants to come to Barca.”
July 2 – Ronaldo wants to leave Manchester United – Where could he go?
Cristiano Ronaldo has reportedly asked to leave Manchester United if they receive a suitable offer for him this summer. Ronaldo, 37, has been linked with moves to several top teams in recent weeks as doubts persisted over whether or not he would fit into the system of new Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag.
It appears those doubts could spell the end for Ronaldo’s second spell at Manchester United. A report from The Times states that Ronaldo wants to leave United this summer as the report says he wants to return to play in the UEFA Champions League and challenge for trophies. Napoli, Chelsea, Bayern Munich and Roma have been linked with a move for Ronaldo in recent weeks.
After this initial report came out, our partners in the UK at Sky Sports state that Manchester United do not want to sell Ronaldo and have no interest in letting him leave this summer.
The legendary striker scored 24 goals in all competitions for Manchester United in their dire 2021-2022 season but despite his heroics in front of goal, many questioned if his playing style and personality had an overall negative impact on the Red Devils. Even if he doesn’t slot into Erik ten Hag’s long-term plans, replacing his goals will be a huge issue and United’s new manager may already have a big problem to solve. (JPW)
July 2 – Battle for Lisandro Martinez is well and truly on
A report from Dutch outlet De Telegraaf states that Manchester United are trying to pip Arsenal to the signing of Argentine defender Lisandro Martinez. United have reportedly made a $47 million bid for the 24-year-old (who can play center back or left back) and are pushing Arsenal all the way to try and sign the Ajax star. Martinez of course worked with United’s new manager, Erik ten Hag, at Ajax and proved himself to be one of their most important players in recent seasons.
His ability to be aggressive defensively but also have poise on the ball is exactly what both United and Arsenal want from a defender, but do both really need a new center back/left back? United have Luke Shaw, Alex Telles and Harry Maguire in those positions, while Mikel Arteta has Kieran Tierney and Gabriel. Arsenal’s need to sign Martinez is probably greater than United’s but ETH may well hold the key. (JPW)
July 2 – Free agent Tarkowski lands at Everton
Now this is what you call a good signing. Everton have signed free agent James Tarkowski, as the 29-year-old left Burnley after his contract expired. Tarkowski is just the type of solid, experienced defender that Frank Lampard needed to improve his defensive unit and the England international was sought after this summer. He has chosen the Toffees and he will play a key role in the heart of their defense alongside the likes of Michael Keane, Yerry Mina and Ben Godfrey. After selling Richarlison earlier in the week, this news will boost the Everton faithful as they hope for a much better 2022-23 campaign free of any possible relegation battle. (JPW)
✍️ | James Tarkowski has completed a move to #EFC on a free transfer, signing a four-year contract until the end of June 2026.

July 2 – Interest in Jesse Lingard as West Ham cool on free agent
It appears Tottenham will continue to sign players early and often in this summer transfer window and the latest name linked with Spurs is 29-year-old Jesse Lingard. After leaving Manchester United as a free agent, the England international is said to have plenty of offers on the table. But none of them have enticed him enough to sign with a new club yet and according to a report from The Daily Telegraph, Spurs are considering a move for Lingard. Another report from talkSPORT says that Everton want to sign him. Lingard spent a superb second half of the 2020-21 season on loan with the Hammers but is said to be unimpressed with their initial contract offer this time around and he now has a choice: play regularly at a club like Everton? Or be a squad player at a club like Spurs?
Fabrizio Romano says there is no contract offer on the table from Spurs to Lingard ‘as things stand’ but which move for the free agent would make most sense? He would bolster Spurs’ squad and would be a very solid addition to their attacking midfield options if they do allow Lucas Moura and Steven Bergwijn to move on after signing Ivan Perisic and Richarlison so far this summer. For Spurs this would be about signing a player who counts to Spurs’ homegrown quota and is happy with playing a bit-part role and will strengthen their squad considerably. He would also give them an option in the second half of games to jump off the bench and replace one of their more defensive-minded central midfielders and bring a little creativity. (JPW)
July 2 – Tyler Adams’ potential move to Leeds could now be a loan
The Athletic says that Leeds’ potential move for Tyler Adams could now be a loan move. Given that Adams may not play regularly at RB Leipzig this season, heading to the Premier League to play for Jesse Marsch is a no-brainer. Adams played for Marsch at the New York Red Bulls and at Leipzig and is a solid, reliable central midfielder who would slot in nicely at Leeds. The Yorkshire club are looking at plenty of options to try and replace the outgoing Kalvin Phillips and signing multiple players in different midfield roles appears to be what they’re planning.
When it comes to Adams, 23, this is probably a smart way to make this move. If this loan deal has an option to buy, then it suits everyone and keeps his options open. If he excels at Leeds then he will likely want to stay and it means they were successful under Marsch and he will play for a manager who trusts him. If it doesn’t work out then he can return to Leipzig and they change their managers quite often (as Marsch knows…) so he could be back in favor and back playing in the Champions League before you know it. The key for Adams, and all of the USMNT’s key men between now and November, is playing regularly. He will probably get more minutes at Leeds than Leipzig so this would be a good move. (JPW)
July 2 – Ethan Horvath gets his loan move
USMNT goalkeeper Ethan Horvath badly needed a loan move and he has landed at Luton Town in the Championship for the 2022-23 season. Horvath was second-choice as Nottingham Forest were promoted to the Premier League last season and after Forest signed Dean Henderson on loan for the 2022-23 campaign (see below), Horvath wasn’t going to get many minutes. So he’s signed for Luton, who reached the playoffs but missed out on promotion to the PL last season. He will do battle with James Shea and Matt Macey for the starting spot.
How does this impact the USMNT goalkeeping depth-chart ahead of the 2022 World Cup? With Zack Steffen expected to be loaned out to Championship side Middlesbrough in the coming days, both he and Horvath will play plenty of games between now and November when the USMNT head to the World Cup in Qatar. That leaves Matt Turner at Arsenal as Aaron Ramsdale’s back-up and a lack of regular minutes could be an issue for Turner if he wants to start for Gregg Berhalter. For Horvath, this move is all about a final push for him to become the third-choice goalkeeper as he battles hard with Sean Johnson for that spot. Steffen and Turner are the clear frontrunners to start in goal for the USMNT at the World Cup but there is very little between Horvath and Johnson for the third-choice jersey. (JPW)

July 2 – Dean Henderson signs for Nottingham Forest on loan
Premier League new boys Nottingham Forest have picked up a top quality goalkeeper on loan for the season. Dean Henderson, 25, has joined Forest from Manchester United in a straight loan deal. Henderson previously excelled while on loan at Sheffield United but he hasn’t been able to claim the starting spot ahead of David de Gea since returning to Old Trafford. Henderson had plenty of interest and he will use this move to Forest to try and earn a spot in Gareth Southgate’s 2022 World Cup squad as he will play week in, week out in the Premier League. Steve Cooper and Forest are making some impressive moves this summer as they aim to cement themselves as a top-flight club. (JPW)

July 1 – England keeper Sam Johnstone signs with Crystal Palace
A longtime West Bromwich Albion star, Johnstone was capped thrice by England and always seemed on the verge of finding a No. 1 shirt at a bigger club.
The 29-year-old was with Manchester United’s academy from 2011-2018, taking loans to numerous clubs including Aston Villa before joining West Brom in 2018.
Here’s Palace chairman Steve Parish:
“Sam is a player that we have admired for some time, and we are extremely pleased to welcome him to Crystal Palace. His extensive experience at club and international level, alongside his outstanding ability, will add even greater depth to our goalkeeping unit.”
Can he take the job from Vicente Guaita? (NM)
July 1 – Lenglet nears loan from Barcelona to Tottenham
Tottenham is nearing the acquisition of center back Clement Lenglet on loan from Barcelona after agreeing to personal terms with the player, according to Fabrizio Romano.
Lenglet, 27, has 15 caps for France but has become a part of the periphery at Barca, which desperately needs to offload salary and unimportant pieces.
He barely ran over 1,200 minutes in 27 minutes across all competitions last season with the Blaugranas but has 158 appearances over all competitions since arriving from Sevilla. (NM)
Tottenham have now reached full agreement with Clément Lenglet on personal terms. He’s happy to join Spurs with Antonio Conte pushing to have him. 🚨⚪️ #THFC

July 1 – Richarlison signs for Tottenham
Done deal time! Richarlison has signed for Tottenham from Everton in a deal worth over $73 million. The Brazilian forward will push Heung-min Son, Dejan Kulusevski and Harry Kane for minutes up top and Antonio Conte has significantly strengthened his attacking options for the 2022-23 season. This is a very good deal for Spurs and Richarlison but for Everton, losing their main man is a huge blow and Frank Lampard will have to be given significant funds to spend to try and replace him.
As for Spurs, there is a growing sense that Conte could turn them into title contenders this season rather than just chasing a top four finish. With Ivan Perisis, Fraser Forster, Richarlison and Yves Bissouma all coming in, Spurs are stronger in every department than they were last season they finished in fourth. Being back in the Champions League is a huge part of that and so too is Daniel Levy allowing Fabio Paratici and Conte revamp the squad as huge funds have been made available. Richarlison’s drive, flexibility and end product suits Conte’s style perfectly and he will rotate perfectly with Kane, Son and Kulusevski to make sure that Spurs’ front three are always fresh. (JPW)
June 30 – Neymar hearing from Brazilian pals at Chelsea, Newcastle
Thiago Silva and Joelinton are both encouraging Neymar to entertain the idea of transfers to Chelsea and Newcastle.
Paris Saint-Germain is ready to sell the 30-year-old megastar in order to usher in a new era for the Ligue 1 side, and Premier League sides are not out of the question.
Thiago Silva has encouraged Neymar to consider Chelsea and it would be a statement signing for Todd Boehly, who has been linked with a number of big-time forwards.
Clearly Neymar will be looking for Champions League football, but Newcastle United star Joelinton has said Magpies teammate “Bruno has his contact” and encouraged the Brazilian by saying “the No. 10 shirt is available.”
Normally you’d laugh and dismiss it, but Newcastle is now essentially the richest club in the world and money talks. Surely not… (NM).
June 30 – Spurs, Everton agree Richarlison fee
Tottenham is set to complete the second-richest transfer in its history, agreeing on a reported $73 million fee with Everton for Richarlison.
The Brazilian forward makes Tottenham an absolute handful in all competitions, as their depth in attack now includes Harry Kane, Heung-min Son, Dejan Kulusevski, and Richarlison amongst others.
All four players are capable of being the best player in the vast majority of attacks around Europe.
For Everton, the money is a huge help as Financial Fair Play stares down the Toffees, but Frank Lampard will be put to the test without one of the players — perhaps the player — who drove them to safety. (NM)
June 28 – Newcastle unveil Sven Botman
Newcastle United’s plans to turn into a power as quickly as possible under new Saudi ownership got a big boost Tuesday with the addition of Sven Botman.
The 22-year-old center back is an Ajax academy product who made his senior debut on loan to Heerenveen. Botman captained the Netherlands’ U-21 team, too, but really raised his profile when he signed for Lille.
Lille saw Botman at the heart of their surprising run to the Ligue 1 title last season and he made 69 appearances for the French powers.
Botman, like Bruno Guimares, is an ambitious signing for Newcastle, a young player with the potential to be a gamechanger at almost any level with proper development. (NM)
June 28 – Man Utd agrees price for Feyenoord left back
Luke Shaw’s latest competition, should the England man stay in Manchester, could come in the form of Feyenoord defender Tyrell Malacia.
The 22-year-old had a goal and five assists last season as he rang up 50 appearances for the Rotterdam set. He’ll reportedly cost Man United just under $20 million.
Malacia has five caps for the Netherlands and was linked with a variety of clubs. It seems Erik ten Hag has pushed his new club over the line. (NM)
June 28 – Chelsea reportedly agrees fee for Raphinha
Did you have this one as Chelsea’s first transfer of the summer?
Raphinha’s the name, and the Leeds United winger may come with a price tag of $80 million if the Brazilian ultimately does come to Stamford Bridge (according to Fabrizio Romano)
This would affect two Americans, loading up Jesse Marsch’s transfer kitty at Leeds and perhaps serving as the latest sign to Christian Pulisic that his services may be better activated at a different club. (NM)
June 27 – Newcastle linked with huge bid for Napoli star Victor Osimhen
It has not taken long for Victor Osimhen to go from high-priced Lille striker to higher-priced Napoli striker.
Linked with Tottenham, Arsenal, and Liverpool two summers ago, the 23-year-old Osimhen is expected to carry a nine-figure price tag if he doesn’t agree fresh terms with the Neapolitan side.
Osimhem has a contract through the 2024-25 season so Napoli won’t be in a hurry to negotiate with the Nigerian should it not receive a super-high bid for his services.
The club’s reported asking price starts at more than $115 million, and both Manchester United and Arsenal have been linked with interest in the player, though the world’s new transfer rumor/agent darlings are lurking in the gossip mill.
Newcastle United is ready to tempt Napoli’s resolve with a “significant sum,” according to Gazzetta dello Sport.
Should Man United win the race for Osimhen, they’ll get a player who scored 18 goals with six assists in just 32 matches (a cheekbone fracture and shoulder ailment cost him two periods of availability).
He scored 10 goals in his first season of Serie A play, a year after bagging 18 goals for Lille. That followed a 20-goal season for RSC Charleroi in the year he turned 20. Prior to that he was a debutant for Wolfsburg, where he didn’t score in 16 matches totaling just over 300 minutes.
A player who’s scored and scored often in three separate leagues at his age is going to cost a ton, but is he worth a top-eight all-time transfer fee? Few teams have the budget to explore that, but Newcastle and Man United are two of them. (NM)
June 27 – Cristiano Ronaldo ‘turns down Inter Miami move’ + Barcelona wanted Maguire
Okay, we all kind of expected Ronaldo to end up in MLS one day but apparently that day isn’t right now. According to The Daily Star, the Manchester United and Portugal superstar is wanted by Inter Miami CF and co-owner David Beckham reached out about a potential move to his club. Per the report, the 37-year-old is committed to Manchester United and the Red Devils don’t want to sell him.
However, is all this talk of Ronaldo being linked with Roma, Chelsea, Bayern Munich, Sporting Lisbon and now Inter Miami hinting towards an exit from Manchester United this summer? He does have just one year left on his current contract at United and is said to be frustrated with the lack of new arrivals under new manager Erik ten Hag. Again, not great vibes around Ronaldo right now. That said, the report states that ETH could hand Ronaldo the captaincy and wants him to lead a new era at Old Trafford. We have no doubt that Ronaldo will end up in MLS one day, and probably in Miami, but right now it seems like he will remain in Manchester.
Also, one other Manchester United-related piece of gossip to bring you: Harry Maguire is reportedly wanted by Barcelona as the Catalan club asked about his availability as part of a potential deal for Frenkie de Jong. According to The Sun, United rejected the notion of Maguire being included in a deal for De Jong. Even if he had a tough season in 2021-22 (look, we’re being kind) if the Maguire of the last five years suddenly reappears this summer then United have a top-class center back. Per the report, Maguire is happy to stay at United at this stage of his career as the 29-year-old is ready to get back to his best. Being wanted by Barcelona will probably give his confidence levels a boost and there’s no way he, and most of United’s players, can play as badly as they did last season. (JPW)
June 27 – Chelsea consider Richarlison bid
Is there a winger Chelsea don’t want to sign this summer!? After being linked with moves for Raheem Sterling and Ousmane Dembele in recent days and weeks, our partners in the UK at Sky Sports are now stating that Chelsea want to rival Tottenham to try and sign Richarlison. The 25-year-old Brazilian is a man in demand and has apparently told Frank Lampard he wants to leave Everton this summer and wants to play in the Champions League. With Chelsea letting Romelu Lukaku leave on loan, plus the likes of Timo Werner, Hakim Ziyech and Christian Pulisic all likely to move on this summer, it appears that Thomas Tuchel is seriously freshening up his attack as Chelsea’s new owners try to make a splash.
Would Richarlison to Chelsea make sense? Actually, yes, it would. A lot of sense. Richarlison is a mobile forward who can plan centrally in Chelsea’s 3-4-2-1 formation but he can also play as one of the underneath forwards. If Chelsea signed Richarlison, Sterling and Dembele this summer, then that would be a huge upgrade on their current attacking options and all three players would suit Tuchel very well. Richarlison would probably cost upwards of $65 million, with Sterling slightly less expensive and Dembele is available on a free. If Chelsea move on Ziyech, Werner and Pulisic for decent fees, or even decent loan fees, then this could work out very well. Defensively they still need a couple of new center backs but new chairman Todd Boehly is certainly busy early on at Chelsea as Petr Cech and Marina Granovskaia are both out and he’s taking a leading role in lining up these transfers, at least on an interim basis to start with. (JPW)
June 27 – Spurs to bid for Gordon and Richarlison in package deal
Our partners in the UK at Sky Sports are reporting that Tottenham now want to sign both Richarlison and Anthony Gordon from Everton in a package deal with a bid expected this week. Per the report, Antonio Conte is pushing hard to sign the Brazilian forward but Gordon is now also on his wish-list this summer. Gordon, 21, is a rising star in the Premier League and along with Richarlison dragged Everton to safety at the end of last season. The England U21 winger would strengthen Spurs’ attacking options out wide as they will reportedly allow Steven Bergwijn and Lucas Moura to leave this summer. Per the report, Conte wants a very strong squad as the Premier League will allow five subs per game next season and therefore his team can keep the intensity of their play high.
Would losing Gordon and Richarlison be a hammer blow for Everton? It appears that Frank Lampard may have to sell some of his better players to fund new signings this summer as there are reports that a bid fronted by Peter Keynon is trying to buy the club from Farhad Moshiri. With that uncertainty, losing Richarlison and Gordon would be a big blow for the Toffees but Lampard has hinted at changing their style of play and if he wants to do that and bring in more possession-based players, then Gordon and Richarlison are their most valuable assets. Dominic Calvert-Lewin will probably stick around at Goodison Park but this latest report is pretty worrying if you are an Everton fan. As for Spurs, trying to sign Gordon makes sense as he will provide something very different to their attack and is a traditional winger who is very good in one-on-one situations. (JPW)
June 27 – Leeds want Tyler Adams to replace Kalvin Phillips
A report from The Yorkshire Evening Post claims that Leeds want to sign Tyler Adams to replace Kalvin Phillips and the USMNT star is ‘high up’ on their list of potential new arrivals. Per the report, Jesse Marsch is keen to sign Adams (who he coached at the New York Red Bulls and RB Leipzig) and another central midfielder from one of his former clubs, RB Salzburg’s Mohamed Camara. Maybe we should just rename them RB Leeds… Anyway, the link to Adams is perhaps the most obvious transfer in Premier League history. Marsch helped nurture Adams, 23, during his early years at RBNY and is a huge fan of the New Jersey native who can play in midfield but also out on the right. Replacing Phillips (he is expected to sign for Man City for $55 million this week) is going to be very difficult but if Leeds bring in Adams and Camara they can share the load and Leeds do need more squad depth as injuries ravaged them last season.
Focusing on Adams specifically, would this be a good move for the young American? He doesn’t appear to be a regular at RB Leipzig under Domenico Tedesco so he will have to move somewhere this summer if he wants regular minutes. Adams seems like a good fit for this Leeds side even though he hasn’t got Phillips’ passing ability and is quite a different player. Tyler Adams brings calm on the ball and off it and his positional sense and tactical awareness is very good. Add that in to already being coached by Marsch at two different clubs and this is a very good fit. Adams may want to move to a club playing in Europe but Leeds are a massive club and there is the potential to be part of a squad which can push for the top 10 and a cup run (at the very least) this season. The physicality of the Premier League shouldn’t be too much of a problem as Adams can sit in one of the holding midfield positions and keep things ticking over. (JPW)
June 27 – Matt Turner completes his move to Arsenal
USMNT goalkeeper Matt Turner has completed his move to Arsenal and is in north London settling in at his new club. It will take a lot for Turner to usurp Aaron Ramsdale as Arsenal’s starting goalkeeper but he should get plenty of minutes in the League Cup, FA Cup and Europa League this season. It will be intriguing to see how Turner fares early on at Arsenal, especially as they are heading to the U.S. on a preseason tour and he should play plenty of minutes for the Gunners as he gets to know his new teammates, coaches and settles in further.

June 26 – Gabriel Jesus to Arsenal done!
Brazilian striker Gabriel Jesus is finally heading to Arsenal. Fabrizio Romano is reporting that the striker has agreed a five-year contract with the Gunners and Arsenal will pay $55 million to Man City for Jesus. As we’ve talked about multiple times already this summer, Jesus, 25, is the finisher Arsenal needed in attack and Mikel Arteta worked very closely with him at Man City during his time as their assistant coach. Apparently that was key in Jesus leaving City as Erling Haaland will be their new main man up top.
Jesus can play out on the right but he’s expected to play in the No. 9 role for Arsenal as they now have their main man up top for the foreseeable future. Even if there are question marks over Jesus’ finishing sometimes, there’s no doubting his work-rate and quality and if he is given chances on a plate from Saka, Smith Rowe, Martinelli, Odegaard et al. then he will score plenty of goals for Arsenal. This is yet another fine addition for the Gunners as their young, talented squad could also see Raphinha added to it in the coming days. (JPW)
Gabriel Jesus to Arsenal, here we go! Personal terms fully agreed with his agent Marcelo Pettinati and his two partners. Gabriel signs until 2027, it’s 100% done. 🚨⚪️🔴 #AFC

June 26 – Thomas Tuchel makes contact with Raheem Sterling
A report from The Telegraph states that Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel has reached out directly to Raheem Sterling to discuss a possible move to Stamford Bridge this summer. The England international, 27, could well be surplus to requirements at Manchester City next season and Chelsea need to freshen up their attack. With Romelu Lukaku on his way to Inter Milan, Hakim Ziyech in talks over a loan move to AC Milan and Timo Werner likely leaving too, it’s clear that Tuchel wants to rebalance his attack and Sterling is one of his top targets. Per the report, City value Sterling at $61-73 million and Chelsea will now make a bid after Tuchel spoke directly with the player.
Would this be a good move for both Sterling and Chelsea? Probably. Sterling has been a star at Man City over the last seven seasons but he probably isn’t appreciated as much as he should be and with Erling Haaland and Julian Alvarez arriving this summer at City, the speedy winger will face even stiffer competition for a starting spot. He struggled for minutes a little last season (2127 compared to 2537 in 2020-21) but his quality is clear for all to see. The way he stretches teams on the break and cuts inside would suit Tuchel’s 3-4-2-1 system well, as Sterling could play as the central striker or as one of the two underneath forwards. Sterling has just one year left on his current contract at City and with Gabriel Jesus set to leave this summer for Arsenal, are City going to allow both to move on? Maybe. They have always been pretty good at letting players move on if they want to but Pep Guardiola may feel a little shorthanded if both Sterling and Jesus leave this summer. (JPW)
June 26 – Breakthrough in Frenkie de Jong, Christian Eriksen deals?
Our partners in the UK at Sky Sports say that Manchester United are still hopeful of signing both Frenkie de Jong and Christian Eriksen. After a report from Goal stated that United and Barcelona have moved closer to agreeing a transfer fee for De Jong which would be in the region of $84.6 million, it is believed that United are confident the deal will get done for the silky central midfielder. This all now hinges on Frenkie de Jong, who hasn’t seemed too interested in a move to United so far this summer. The Dutch midfielder was a star at Ajax under Erik ten Hag but with United out of the UEFA Champions League and Barcelona just turning things around over the last six months, it seems like De Jong needs some convincing that Old Trafford is the right place for him to take his game to the next level.
As for Eriksen, well, the offer to him remains on the table as our partners at Sky say the 30-year-old has two main options: Manchester United and Brentford. The free agent spent the second half of last season at Brentford on a short-term deal as he helped the Bees to a strong finish and the pull of staying in London and being the key man in a team on the up in the Premier League is appealing. As for United, well, they are apparently confident that Eriksen will choose to sign for them. The Danish playmaker would compete with Bruno Fernandes for the starting spot in the No. 10 role and that may not appeal to him at this stage of his career. With United reporting back for preseason this week, the clock is ticking to make their first signing of the Erik ten Hag era. (JPW)
June 26 – Richarlison, Harry Winks deals’ in the works
Multiple outlets are reporting that Tottenham are pushing hard to sign Everton and Brazil star Richarlison, as they also have an interest in Raphinha but it appears the latter will be heading to Arsenal instead. The forward has reportedly told Frank Lampard he wants to leave the Toffees this summer and play in the Champions League. Given Richarlison’s recent ambiguous comments while on international duty, that isn’t a surprise. Richarlison’s tenacity, experience in the Premier League and ability to play up top or as one of the wide forwards is something which will add serious depth to Spurs’ attack. With Heung-min Son, Harry Kane and Dejan Kulusevski Spurs’ go-to front three, if Richarlison arrives he would start 20-25 games in all competitions and surely chip in with important goals and assists for Antonio Conte’s side. Everton want over $61 million for Richarlison (who has two years left on his current contract) and after a strong start to the summer window, this move would be the best of the bunch if Spurs could get it over the line for Conte.
According to our partners in the UK at Sky Sports, Everton want to sign Harry Winks on an initial loan deal with an obligation to buy. Per the report, Spurs want to sell Winks as the central midfielder isn’t in Conte’s plans and the two clubs remain in talks. The England international has fallen behind Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Rodrigo Bentancur and Oliver Skipp in the pecking order, while the arrival of Yves Bissouma pushes him even further away from minutes at Spurs. A move to Everton could well revive his career as Frank Lampard wants to change their style of play and is keen to bring in players who can keep the ball well and allow the team to be more expansive. Winks is very simple and smart on the ball but his lack of physicality means he will not feature much under Conte. If the 26-year-old doesn’t move to Everton this summer he will be heading elsewhere. It also seems very likely that Lucas Moura and Steven Bergwijn could move on this summer if Richarlison arrives. (JPW)
June 26 – Cristiano Ronaldo linked with shock move to Stamford Bridge
Yes, this is actually a real thing. And yes, Manchester United have denied it could happen. However, there is clearly a bit of a theme rumbling behind-the-scenes here. In the past week there have been reports suggesting Ronaldo is unhappy with the lack of new signings at United, plus there have been reports linking him with a move to Roma, his former club Sporting Lisbon and now Chelsea are said to be interested in signing the Portuguese superstar. According to The Athletic, new Chelsea chairman Todd Boehly discussed the availability of Ronaldo, 37, when he met with ‘super-agent’ Jorge Mendes.
Per the report, Ronaldo was discussed and Chelsea are interested in seeing whether or not he can be temped to west London. Given that he only has one year left on his contract and they’d be strengthening a direct top four rival, United would surely rather keep Ronaldo than sell him to Chelsea this summer. United have since briefed plenty of outlets, including our partners in the UK at Sky Sports, that Ronaldo is not for sale and will not leave this summer.
But would having an unhappy Ronaldo around be a huge problem for Erik ten Hag? Probably. His love for United is undoubted but it is easier to see why he’s so frustrated. Many believe he will not fit into the tactics deployed by ETH but the Dutch coach is said to believe he can. Let’s see how this goes but it seems like Ronaldo’s future is unexpectedly going to be the topic of much discussion this summer. (JPW)
June 25 – Hakim Ziyech to AC Milan?; Tuchel expecting ‘up to six new players to arrive’
A report from our partners at Sky Italy states that Hakim Ziyech could head on loan to AC Milan in a similar deal which will see Romelu Lukaku move to Inter from Chelsea. Per the report, Ziyech is keen on the move and he has been a target for AC Milan for some time. The Moroccan winger has never really settled at Chelsea despite the odd sublime goal and stunning display. With Tuchel looking to freshen up his attack this summer, Ziyech, Werner, Lukaku and even Christian Pulisic appear to be surplus to requirements as Tuchel expects plenty of new arrivals under the new ownership group led by Chelsea chairman Todd Boehly. According to a separate report from The Telegraph the Blues boss expects up to six new players to arrive at Stamford Bridge this summer. With De Ligt, Raheem Sterling, Richarlison and Ousmane Dembele strongly linked with a move to Chelsea, this is going to be a very different looking side, especially in attack. (JPW)
June 25 – Raphinha to Arsenal close?
A report from The Sun’s Jack Rosser states that Arsenal are going back with an improved bid for Raphinha as they continue to make big moves in the transfer market. The Leeds winger has been a long-time target for Barcelona but due to their financial situation a move to the Nou Camp doesn’t look likely, at least right now. Arsenal are determined to sign Raphinha ahead of London rivals Tottenham and Chelsea who are both reportedly interested. Per the report, Arsenal’s talks with Leeds are at an ‘advanced stage’ and after an initial bid was rejected, Arsenal could pay over $65 million for the Brazil international. Is this a good move for Arsenal?
They lacked a cutting edge in the final third last season after improving defensively under Mikel Arteta but they do still have Bukayo Saka, Emile Smith Rowe, Eddie Nketiah and Gabriel Martinelli around in attack. After moving on Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette they have plenty of room on the wage-bill for new signings and as they close in on Gabriel Jesus, and now Raphinha, this Arsenal attack could have a more direct feel to it. Given that Edu’s strong connections with the Brazilian game has no doubt helped and there’s a growing sense that deals are likely to be done. Arsenal have all of a sudden made a huge surge in the transfer market. After signing Portuguese playmaker Fabio Vieira for $45 million and Brazilian youngster Marquinhos, if Arsenal do sign Gabriel Jesus and Raphinha it would be a huge boost for Arteta. Given that Tottenham have already made some impressive signing this summer and Chelsea are about to kick on with their recruitment after the new owners and board have arrived, it was imperative Arsenal started to get these deals over the lines. (JPW)
June 25 – Liverpool open to selling Salah this summer
Liverpool are reportedly open to selling Mohamed Salah this summer as the Egyptian star has just one year left on his current contract. The Reds have been locked in talks with Salah for months about a new deal and per a report from the The Sun, Liverpool could sell Salah this summer for $74 million. Per the report, Real Madrid are the club Salah could move to as they look to bolster their attack after missing out on Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland this summer.
Should Liverpool cash-in on Salah just like they did with Sadio Mane earlier this week? With one year left on his contract and no real movement on talks, the situation is pretty similar and Salah has won everything he can at Liverpool. With Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz arriving over the last six months at Anfield, it feels like Liverpool have already made the moves to replace Mane and Salah long-term. Now it’s all about whether they sell Salah this summer or risk him running down his contract and leaving for free next summer. The latter option would not be good for Liverpool from a business sense, especially as they’ve been very good in terms of net spend and bringing in like-for-like replacements over the last six years. (JPW)
June 25 – Sven Botman to Newcastle close to completion
Multiple reports are saying that Newcastle have wrapped up their long-awaited move for Dutch defender Sven Botman. The center back will join from Lille and will be the main man in Eddie Howe’s defense as he and Dan Burn will be two towering presences at the back. Botman has been chased by AC Milan, and many others, in recent transfer windows but Newcastle’s interest has been extremely strong. It seems their persistence has paid off and Botman is about to make his move to the Premier League. After signing Nick Pope and Matt Targett already this summer, Newcastle’s defense continues to be strengthened as Kieran Trippier, Burn, Botman and Targett is a very solid back four in front of Pope. (JPW)
Sven Botman can be considered Newcastle player. No issue with personal terms, it's all agreed on player side after deal in place with Lille for €37m fee with add-ons. Medical already booked, early next week. ⚪️⚫️🤝 #NUFC

June 25 – Timo Werner part of potential deal for De Ligt?
A report from Di Marzio in Italy suggests that Timo Werner plus $35 million is the offer Chelsea have put forward for Juventus defender Matthijs de Ligt but the Turin club want Werner and closer to $45 million. Per the report both Werner and De Ligt are up for the move, with the Dutch center back set to be the new center-piece of Thomas Tuchel’s defense, while Werner is keen for a fresh start in Italy as his goalscoring woes in the Premier League continue. Would this be a good move for all parties? De Ligt has been much better in recent seasons at Juve but he has struggled at times and perhaps the Premier League would suit his game slightly better. As for Werner, well, he’s beloved by the Chelsea fans for his incredible effort in games but his finishing has really let him down and if he moves on now he can leave with his head held high. (JPW)
June 24 – Arsenal, Man City agree transfer fee for Gabriel Jesus
[ MORE: Arsenal transfer news | Man City transfer news ]
Following the departures of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette in January and the summer, respectively, Arsenal appear to have filled their massive hole at striker with a 25-year-old (four-time) Premier League champion: Gabriel Jesus. Fabricio Romano reported on Friday that Arsenal and Manchester City have agreed a $55.3 million transfer fee for the Brazilian international. All that remains to be agreed are personal terms for a contract between Jesus and Arsenal. (AE)

June 24 – Newcastle sign goalkeeper Nick Pope from relegated Burnley
Nick Pope has left relegated Burnley to join Newcastle United, for a fee reported to be $13.5 million. In six seasons at Burnley (all in the Premier League), Pope made 155 appearances for the Clarets, including 36 in the season just completed. Only time will tell if Pope will be named the starter at St. James’ Park, or if he’ll ultimately be the backup to Martin Debravka, but head coach Eddie Howe called Pope “an exceptional Premier League and international-level goalkeeper.” (AE)
June 23 – Chelsea looks to Matthijs De Ligt
Chelsea’s desire to shore up its back line could lead to an absolutely massive expenditure on Juventus center back Matthijs De Ligt.
The Blues have lost Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen this summer, at least one of them due to the financial uncertainty at the club prior to new chairman Todd Boehly’s takeover, and need to address the corps of Thiago Silva, Malang Sarr, and Trevoh Chalobah.
De Ligt cost Juventus about $79 million from Ajax, and the player has a $126 release clause. Only Joao Felix, Philippe Coutinho, Neymar, and Kylian Mbappe have been transferred for that much. The clause expires in 2024, according to Sky Sports, and Juve will only entertain bids near the figure (NM).
June 22 – Bayern Munich announces Sadio Mane
It’s a 3-year deal that brings Sadio Mane from Liverpool to Bayern Munich, as the Senegalese star will test himself in the Bundesliga.
Mane, 30, remains a living legend at Anfield despite leaving, his six-year spell an unqualified success as part of one of the era’s best tridents with Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino.
“I’m really happy to finally be at FC Bayern in Munich,” Mane said. “We spoke a lot and I felt big interest from this great club right from the beginning, so for me there were no doubts. It’s the right time for this challenge. I want to achieve a lot with this club, in Europe too. During my time in Salzburg I watched a lot of Bayern games – I really like this club”
The former Southampton, Metz, and Salzburg player leaves Liverpool with 120 goals and 48 assists over 269 games. (NM)
June 22 – Southampton reinforces defense with Bella-Kotchap
German youth international Armel Bella-Kotchap is making a move to the United Kingdom.
Bella-Kotchap, 20, is headed from the Bundesliga to the Premier League after impressing at the age of 20 with VfL Bochum.
The center back already boasts 74 senior appearances for the side and has appeared from Germany’s U-18, U-20, and U-21 sides. Armel is Paris-born, and his father Cyrille was four-times capped by Cameroon.
Bella-Kotchup says Ralph Hasenhuttl was a big part of his reasoning for choosing the St. Mary’s outfit.
“The coach has a big impact on me. We speak the same language and his interest was very big in me. The club convinced me and said they want to make a project with me and I’m ready to go and I will fight for my place.”
Saints have brought in impressive center backs in the past including big successes like Virgil van Dijk, Jannik Vestergaard, and Mohammed Salisu. If Bella-Kotchup can fit neatly into that camp, this signing will have been a success. (NM)
June 21 – Arsenal lands Porto’s $42M Fabio Vieira
It is official: Arsenal has brought in Fabio Vieira — no relation to the club’s legendary midfielder — for a reported $42 million fee.
The Porto youngster and Portuguese U-21 star just turned 22 in late May. He recorded the second-best assist total in Portugal last season in far fewer minutes than his competitors.

June 21 – Push for Man United to sign Evanilson, Antony, Martinez is on
It has been a quiet summer so far at Manchester United but things are starting to heat up. Portuguese outlet O Jogo have reported that United have had a bid of $67 million rejected for Brazilian striker Evanilson. The 22-year-old forward scored 21 goals for Porto last season and it appears that a new forward is a priority for Erik ten Hag as he aims to ease the burden on Cristiano Ronaldo (who could move on). He has also reportedly told United that he wants both Frenkie de Jong and Christian Eriksen to build his midfield around and the Dutch coach is clearly going to shift the playing style to a possession-based system.
With that in mind, Ajax star Antony is also a target for United and a report from The Sun says he will be the first signing of the Erik ten Hag era. Antony, 22, will reportedly cost $49 million and the report says that United officials are in Amsterdam to try and seal the deal. Our partners in the UK at Sky Sports also believe that United are trying to sign Lisandro Martinez from Ajax too, as the Argentine center back/left back has also been interesting Arsenal. Ten Hag heading back to Ajax to pick up some top quality players makes perfect sense and United certainly need fresh ideas and talents in defense, midfield and attack. Bringing in players who already know his tactics inside-out is very smart. (JPW)
June 21 – Chelsea linked with Richarlison
It appears that Richarlison is a man in demand this summer as The Daily Mail reports that Chelsea are set to battle with Tottenham and Arsenal for his signature. The 25-year-old looks likely to leave Everton and it is believed that Thomas Tuchel is a big fan of the Brazilian international. With Romelu Lukaku on his way out, plus doubts over whether or not Christian Pulisic, Hakim Ziyech and Timo Werner will stick around, Chelsea are set to freshen up their attacking options. They’ve already been linked with moves for Raheem Sterling and Ousmane Dembele this summer and bringing in a wide forward who is comfortable cutting inside seems a priority.
Richarlison can certainly do that and given his experience in the Premier League and his tenacity and work-rate, he seems like a very good fit for Tuchel’s 3-4-2-1 system at Chelsea as he could play up top or in one of the two underneath positions. The transfer fee is going to be sizeable (probably $60-70 million) but Richarlison has been consistent at Everton and there’s reason to believe he will create and score plenty of goals in a team who are on the front-foot more often. (JPW)
June 21 – Nick Pope reportedly close to Newcastle move
According to our partners in the UK at Sky Sports, Newcastle United are in talks with Burnley over a move for England international goalkeeper Nick Pope. The 30-year-old has been linked with a number of Premier League teams following Burnley’s relegation and Newcastle need an upgrade in goal. Martin Dubravka is a fine goalkeeper but given the investment in the rest of the playing squad at Newcastle since Eddie Howe arrived, bringing in a goalkeeper of Pope’s quality makes sense. It seems like Dean Henderson is heading to Nottingham Forest, Sam Johnstone is going to Crystal Palace and Alphonse Areola is going to make a permanent switch to West Ham, so there is a lack of goalkeeping options right now. If Pope stays fit then he is among the top five goalkeepers in the Premier League as he’s been consistently excellent for Burnley over the last few seasons. (JPW)

The Senegal star is inching closer to his move to Bayern Munich as he is in Bavaria for his medical. Mane, 30, will soon become a Bayern player after the clubs agreed a fee of over $43 million. Liverpool fans will be sad to see these scenes but Mane leaves a legend as he scored 120 goals in 269 games for the Reds and epitomized what they were all about under Jurgen Klopp. At Bayern he will be the main man (Robert Lewandowski is expected to leave) and it felt like he was keen to have a fresh challenge in his career after winning every trophy possible with Liverpool over the last six seasons. Mane’s incredible consistency, intensity and quality will be tough to replace and he will always be a hero at Anfield. (JPW)

June 21 – West Ham set to bid $37 million for Armando Broja
According to our partners in the UK at Sky Sports, West Ham are set to bid $37 million to sign young Chelsea and Albania striker Armando Broja. The 20-year-old had a very solid season on loan at Southampton last season as he scored nine goals in all competitions and showed plenty of promise despite playing in a team which struggled to create plenty of chances. Broja may be needed at Chelsea this season as they look set to sell Romelu Lukaku, but per the report the likes of Newcastle, Arsenal and Napoli also want to sign the powerful striker. West Ham seems like a very good fit for Broja as he would compete with Michail Antonio for minutes and the pair could be rotated as the Hammers have the Europa Conference League and Premier League to juggle. Broja is good on the counter, deceptively quick and is very aggressive and that suits West Ham’s style under David Moyes very well. (JPW)
June 20 – Raphinha set to sign this week?
A report from Goal.com states that Raphinha could sign for Arsenal as soon as this week as a $53 million deal is ‘very close’ to completion. The Brazilian winger, 25, has been linked with a move away from Leeds for much of the last 12 months and it appears that Arsenal have beaten the likes of Tottenham, Barcelona and many others to his signature. Raphinha is proven in the Premier League and his agent Deco has talked about his next move for some time as Leeds fans expected the Brazil international to move on this summer.
Do Arsenal really need another attacking midfielder? Raphinha has plenty of end product and he would suit Mikel Arteta’s style of play well. It seems like Arsenal are going to really freshen up their attack this summer as Fabio Vieira is set to arrive from FC Porto, Gabriel Jesus could arrive from Manchester City and the Gunners have already signed Eddie Nketiah to a new long-term contract. Add the trio of Raphinha, Vieira and Jesus to Bukayo Saka, Emile Smith Rowe, Martin Odegaard and Gabriel Martinelli and you have incredible depth in attack. Quite how Arteta can keep all of those forward-thinking players happy remains to be seen but these are exciting times for Arsenal as they look to continue moving forward as they just missed out on a top four finish last season. (JPW)
June 20 – Christian Eriksen to make decision soon
It is believed that Christian Eriksen is a key target for new United boss Erik ten Hag and the wait to see where the Danish playmaker signs is almost over. According to Fabrizio Romano the 30-year-old will soon decide where he will sign, as the free agent has offers from United, Tottenham Hotspur and Brentford to weigh up in the Premier League. Countless other clubs are interested in signing the mercurial attacking midfielder who dazzled on a short-term deal at Brentford in the second half of last season after his miraculous comeback from suffering a cardiac arrest in the summer of 2021. Eriksen has said he is keen to play in the Champions League but it’s not a deal break and if any other manager aside from Antonio Conte was in charge at Tottenham, you would surely see him head back to Spurs. But he never really fit in with Conte’s style of play at Inter Milan and the fact Erik ten Hag plays possession-based football with free-flowing, interchanging midfielders would really suit Eriksen well. (JPW)
Christian Eriksen will make a decision on his future club soon. Manchester United have confirmed their interest to his agent, while Brentford are still in the race. 🇩🇰 #transfers

June 20 – West Ham complete Nayef Aguerd signing
The Hammers have made their first big signing of the summer as Moroccan center back Nayef Aguerd has arrived from Rennes on a five-year contract. The 26-year-old will reportedly cost up to $37 million and David Moyes was keen to strengthen his defensive options. Per multiple reports West Ham also want to sign a new striker, central midfielder and left back as the Hammers prepare for a second-straight season in Europe after back-to-back top seven finishes in the Premier League. Aguerd will likely start alongside Kurt Zouma at center back with Craig Dawson and Angelo Ogbonna as back-up as Issa Diop could move on this summer. (JPW)

June 19 – Jurrien Timber deal reportedly off
Louis van Gaal is basically the lumberjack in this situation. According to a report via our partners at Sky Sports, Ajax defender Jurrien Timber (who can play at center back and right back) has been advised against signing for Manchester United by LVG and the deal is now off. The 21-year-old was reportedly a top target for new United boss Erik ten Hag this summer but Louis van Gaal, the current Netherlands boss, has apparently told Timber not to move to Old Trafford as it would impact his game time with the Dutch national team. Is this LVG getting some revenge on United? Probably not. It’s more about knowing the player and his strengths and weaknesses and maybe advising against a move to England, for now. We’ve heard a lot of reasons for why deals break down but this is quite a unique one. (JPW)
June 19 – Calvin Ramsay arrives at Liverpool from Aberdeen
Highly-regarded right back Calvin Ramsay, 18, has arrived from Aberdeen in a deal reportedly worth $8 million. Ramsay was wanted by plenty of Premier League clubs but Liverpool’s pull was too strong and given Jurgen Klopp’s record of nurturing young talent (Harvey Elliott, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Curtis Jones to name a few) this move makes a lot of sense.
“There’s obviously a pathway here – that’s one of the reasons I chose it as well. It’s not just a massive club, they give young players chances in the first team,” Ramsay said.
“So if I can come in in pre-season, put my mark down, then there’s no reason why I can’t push to get in the first-team squad.”
Ramsay has been sensational for Aberdeen in the Scottish Premiership and is a Scotland U21 international already. He will have his work cut-out to replace TAA at right back but perhaps his arrival will allow the Alexander-Arnold to move further forward or even play in central midfield? (JPW)
Ramsay is a Red 🙌🔴

June 19 – Chelsea want to sign Raheem Sterling
The Blues are getting going in the transfer market and a report from our partners in the UK at Sky Sports states that Chelsea want to sign Raheem Sterling. Per the report, it would take a bid of over $73 million for City to let Sterling go this summer. The England forward, still just 27 years old, is out of contract next summer and it seems like he could be set for a move this summer.
Would this be a good move for Chelsea, and Sterling? It seems like a pretty good fit and if Chelsea can drive down the price a little, they will go all-in for Sterling. That said, City could be selling to potential title rivals so they will want a big transfer fee.
Sterling is not really and out-and-out winger and Tuchel doesn’t like to play with pure wingers in his 3-4-2-1 system. He would be very good on the left of the two forwards underneath a central striker and he loves to cut inside and cause havoc. Even though Sterling gets a bad rep for missing big chances he has still scored 62 goals in all competitions for Man City over the last three seasons. That’s 20 goals per season and Chelsea need someone what that production in their forward line as Christian Pulisic, Timo Werner and Hakim Ziyech have all struggled to stay fit and in-form. With Erling Haaland arriving this summer at City, Sterling could well struggle for playing time this season at City and he has been in and out of the team over the last 12 months. He could play centrally at Chelsea, as the report suggests, and Tuchel is said to be a big fan of Sterling. Add in all of that to the fact that Sterling grew up in west London and his family connections are in the area and it all kind of makes sense, right? (JPW)
June 18 – Gunners push for Martinez, Raphinha, Jesus deals
Things are really starting to heat up now, aren’t they? As vacations for managers, some players and agents start to come to a close, the rumor mill is spinning into overdrive and it appears Arsenal are closing in on several deals. Our partners at Sky Sports say that Arsenal are ‘cautiously optimistic’ that Jesus, 25, will arrive from Manchester City this summer. Per the report, Arsenal value Jesus at around $35 million but City want closer to $60 million for the Brazilian forward. Arteta has worked with Jesus closely in the past and he would be a perfect fit in this Arsenal side, plus his playing time at City is surely going to fall after Erling Haaland and Julian Alvarez arrived this summer.
Per the report, Arteta worked closely with Jesus in individual sessions while he was an assistant at Man City and Jesus wants more responsibility and knows he will lead the line at Arsenal. After the departures of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexander Lacazette over the last six months, Arsenal need a striker to finish off the many chances they create. Jesus is surely the perfect fit and now it’s all about City and Arsenal agreeing on a fee.
As for other potential deals, The Athletic claims that Arsenal want to sign both Raphinha and Lisandro Martinez. Their interest in Raphinha has been known for quite some time and they are clearly looking to restock their attacking options with Fabio Vieira also on the way from Porto (see below). As for Martinez, the Ajax and Argentine star is a versatile defender who can play at center back or left back. Martinez, 24, is said to be keen on the move and Arsenal are negotiating with Ajax over the deal. However, one player Arsenal may not sign is Youri Tielemans as several reports suggest they may now look elsewhere. The Belgian midfielder will be a man in demand this summer as he has just one year left on his current contract at Leicester City. However, the London Evening Standard says that the Gunners could still move for Tielemans as he fits their need in a deeper central midfield role. (JPW)
June 18 – Ronaldo linked with Roma, Sporting Lisbon
Cristiano Ronaldo has been linked with a move away from Manchester United this summer, as according to Italian outlet La Repubblica both Roma and Sporting Lisbon are reportedly interested in singing the Portuguese superstar. Ronaldo, 37, scored 24 goals in all competitions for United last season but there are plenty of question marks around whether or not he’s in the plans of new manager Erik ten Hag. The report leans heavily on Ronaldo seeing he will not slot in well with ETH’s playing style. Both Roma and Sporting know a deal will be difficult, financially, but Ronaldo has just one year left on his contract at Old Trafford and perhaps the Red Devils could be swayed to let him leave, if that’s his wish, amicably and for a nominal transfer fee. (JPW)
June 18 – United set to miss out on Christian Eriksen; De Jong talks ongoing
It appears that Manchester United’s offer to Christian Eriksen was not appealing enough. According to The Athletic, the Danish playmaker, 30, wants to remain in London. He has offers from Brentford and his former club Tottenham (among many others) and it is believed he wants to stay in England’s capital city. Eriksen did superbly at Brentford last season as his short-term contract saw him return to the PL and back to fitness after the cardiac arrest he suffered in June 2021. Eriksen has said he will take his time over deciding his next club but it appears that he won’t be heading to Manchester United. A separate report from Guardian states that United are still interested in signing Frenkie de Jong from Barcelona and even though they are offering as much as $14 million lower than Barca’s asking price for the Dutch midfielder, they are holding out as they know the Catalan club have severe financial problems. (JPW)
June 17 – Tottenham signs Bissouma
Spurs aren’t messing around in the transfer market this summer, are they?
They have completed the signing of Yves Bissouma, 25, from Brighton and it is believed the transfer fee is initially $30 million and could rise to $37 million. Bissouma, a Mali international, had one year left on his contract at Brighton and that drove his transfer fee down. He’s worth at least double what Spurs paid for him and the combative central midfielder is just the type of destroyer who will thrive in Antonio Conte’s system.
🎙 “I'm very happy to be here”
Watch Bissouma’s first interview as a Spurs player! 👊

Of course, he’s smooth on the ball and has plenty of poise to his game too, but Bissouma’s arrival adds more steel to Tottenham’s team and more depth too as Ivan Perisic and Fraser Forster have already arrived this summer. Daniel Levy and Fabio Paratici are certainly delivering the additions Conte wanted. This is a very savvy addition by Spurs. (JPW)
June 17 – Mane closes in on Bayern move, joining Gravenberch
According to our partners in Germany at Sky, Liverpool have reportedly accepted a bid of $42.6 million from Bayern Munich for star winger Sadio Mane. Previous reports claimed the Senegalese has agreed to terms with Germany’s serial champions.
Mane, 29, has been linked to Bayern for some time and Fabrizio Romano says that it’ll be a three-year contract for the forward.
Liverpool has signed Darwin Nunez this summer and added Luis Diaz and Diogo Jota last season to reinvigorate its attack. This asks more questions of Mohamed Salah, who is entering the final year of his deal at Anfield.
One person who won’t be coming to Anfield is Ajax star Ryan Gravenberch, who turned down Manchester United and others for a move to the Allianz Arena.
Now who could be on the way out of Bayern? We know Robert Lewandowski is hoping to leave, but there’s still a lot of attacking talent on the Bavarians’ roster (NM).
June 17 – Fabio Vieira deal done, say FC Porto
FC Porto have released a statement saying that Arsenal have agreed to pay up to $42 million for Fabio Vieira. The Portuguese midfielder, 22, is a silky operator and fits in nicely with Arsenal’s model of buying talented young players who are on the up. He is regarded as the next top attacking midfielder in Portugal and should slot in very nicely alongside the likes of Martin Odegaard, Bukayo Saka and Emile Smith Rowe in attack. This move came out of nowhere and now Arsenal’s fans are hoping for Gabriel Jesus and Youri Tielemans to follow as the want the Gunners to keep moving forward after they came so close to finishing in the top four last season.

The Tottenham midfield is in desperate need of a two-way workhorse, and it appears Antonio Conte and Fabio Paratici have found their man after reportedly agreeing a $30-million transfer fee with Brighton & Hove Albion for star midfielder Yves Bissouma. The 25-year-old Mali international has been a standout star in Graham Potter’s side for four seasons now, with frequent speculation that he would be poached by one of the top-six sides. (AE)
June 13 – Manchester City unveils Erling Haaland
No one was keeping it a secret, but Manchester City has now told the world that Erling Haaland has agreed terms to a five-year deal with the Premier League champions.
Haaland brings a silly and prolific goal-scoring mark to the club where his father Alfie played from 2000-2003.
Erling was born in 2000 so won’t have too many memories of his dad in a sky blue shirt, but he’s expected to make an instant impact on a team who badly needed a center forward.
And he admits he’s a fan of club.
“I was born in England. I have been a City fan my whole life. I know a lot about the club. In the end, [deciding to sign was down to] two things. I feel at home here and I feel I can develop and get the best out of my game at City. I like the style. I like the attacking football. I like the positive vibe we have when City play football. This is what I like a lot, so I think it’s a good fit.”
One thing we still don’t know? Haaland’s shirt number. It seems like that could be a clue that Gabriel Jesus, the club’s current No. 9, is headed for a new home this summer (NM).
June 13 – Arsenal signs Marquinhos (not that one)
The Gunners have nabbed a big name… for the future (maybe).
This Marquinhos is decidedly not the 28-year-old Paris Saint-Germain defensive wonder, but a 19-year-old is coming to North London from Sao Paolo in Brazil.
The younger Marquinhos made his senior debut in the Summer of 2021 and will be a project for the future at Arsenal (NM).
June 12 – Manchester United keeping close eye on Robert Lewandowski
A report from The Sun states that Manchester United are keen on signing Robert Lewandowski, if his dream move to Barcelona doesn’t work out. Lewandowski, 33, has spoken publicly about his desire to leave Bayern Munich this summer as he has one year left on his current contract with the German giants. However, Barcelona have yet to agree a fee with Bayern and given the financial restrictions on the Spanish giants it appears it may take some time for them to offload players and sort out their finances to bring Lewandowski in.
With that in mind, United are lurking in the background as they aim to give the Polish superstar an alternative. Per the report, United are absolutely fine with paying Lewandowski $500,000 per week and the transfer fee to Bayern will be no issue.
Is this the kind of player Erik ten Hag and United really need as they try and rebuild?
There’s no doubt Lewandowski will score over 20 goals a season (at least) but United have brought in the likes of Edinson Cavani and Cristiano Ronaldo in recent years and have failed to get the best out of both of them. Ronaldo had success last season but can he and Lewandowski start up top and be successful in the kind of possession based, free-flowing and flexible team Erik ten Hag wants to create? If United sign Lewandowski then it seems like just another short-term flashy signing they hope will wow people rather than actually creating a team which can compete. That’s not disrespecting Lewandowski, who is a phenomenal player, but the fact that United seem to be seriously linked with another signing like this shows that they still don’t really know what they are or what they want to become. (JPW)
June 11 – Tottenham interested in signing Richarlison
A report from The Athletic states that Tottenham are interested in signing Richarlison and are willing to pay $65 million for the Everton and Brazil star. However, the report goes on to state that Everton want more than that fee for their star forward. The 25-year-old has previously stated that he has spoken to Everton and Frank Lampard about his future but didn’t reveal what was said. Both Arsenal and Tottenham are said to be keen on signing Richarlison, who has scored 38 Premier League goals in 135 appearances for the Toffees. His contract runs out in the summer of 2024 and this window represents the maximum value Everton would get for him if he doesn’t sign a new deal.
Would Richarlison to Tottenham make sense? He probably wouldn’t be first-choice as Heung-min Son, Harry Kane and Dejan Kulusevski would start in the three positions up top. That said, Antonio Conte is going to want to rotate his squad a lot more next season as Spurs are in the Champions League. Richarlison would be a top quality ‘next man up’ for that front three and would likely start at least 20-25 games a season in all competitions. Playing in the right team and getting chances on a plate, he would score a lot. He also really fits in well with Antonio Conte’s philosophy as he works hard, runs the channels and can play up top on his own or as underneath a striker or out wide. (JPW)
June 11 – Arsenal keen on Raphinha
We know that Arsenal are prioritizing the signings of Gabriel Jesus and Youri Tielemans this summer, but according to The Telegraph they also have more than one eye on Raphinha. The Leeds and Brazil winger, 25, has just two years left on his contract at Elland Road and he’s widely expected to leave this summer. Barcelona, Liverpool and many other teams have been linked with Raphinha in the past but there’s be no movement even though his agent (former Portugal legend Deco) has repeatedly discussed his client moving on soon.
Would this be a good move for Arsenal? They already have a lot of similar players to Raphinha and strengthening in midfield and up top (ahem, Tielemans and Jesus) should be their priority. If Raphinha is still available after that then he’s worth looking at but is he want Arsenal need? They have Bukayo Saka, Emile Smith Rowe and Gabriel Martinelli around in the attacking midfield roles and this seems like it would be a luxury signing and a little unnecessary. But if the price is right (around $61 million is the asking price) his quality is undoubted. (JPW)
June 11 – USMNT goalkeeper Gabriel Slonina chased by Chelsea, Real Madrid
According to Fabrizio Romano, a potential deal for USMNT goalkeeper Gabriel Slonina, 18, is entering ‘important hours’ as Chelsea and Real Madrid are the frontrunners to sign him. The Chicago Fire goalkeeper has been a Chelsea target for many months and now they have their ownership situation figured out, they can start trying to sign players once again.
Should Slonina sign for Real or Chelsea? He’s not going to play for either team regularly but it would allow him to develop next to some of the best goalkeepers in the world and also go out on loan in Europe to gain valuable experience. (JPW)
Important hours ahead for Gabriel Slonina transfer. Real Madrid made official bid turned down by Chicago Fire last week – but Chelsea are also in talks to sign him, after being really close last February 🚨🇺🇸 #CFC

June 11 – Real Madrid complete signing of Aurelien Tchouameni in deal worth up to $105 million
Reigning European and Spanish champions Real Madrid are wasting no time in strengthening their ridiculous strong squad, as they’ve splashed out an initial $85 million (which could rise to $105 million including add-ons) to sign Aurelien Tchouameni from Monaco.
The French international, 22, is regarded as one of the top defensive midfielders in the game and his move to Real sets them up very nicely to replace Luka Modric, Casemiro and Toni Kroos when that legendary trio decides to call time on their careers. Tchouameni, Eduardo Camavinga and Federico Valverde are a sensational midfield trio for Real’s future and this addition saw Real beat all of the top clubs in Europe to his signature. What a talent he is. (JPW)
June 10 – Spurs lead race for Djed Spence
A report from the Guardian’s Will Unwin states that Tottenham are in ‘advanced talks’ to sign Middlesbrough right back Djed Spence (who excellent on loan at Nottingham Forest last season and was a huge part of their promotion to the Premier League) with the fee expected to be around $24.6 million. Spence, 21, has been chased by several Premier League clubs and teams across Europe as his attacking display down the right flank caused PL sides all kinds of problems in Forest’s FA Cup run this season.
Antonio Conte currently has Emerson Royal and Matt Doherty as his main right wing-back options but Spence is a rising star and the England U21 defender will push hard for a starting spot this season if he does move to Spurs. The former Arsenal academy product is heading back to the other half of north London, it seems. Meanwhile, Conte is building a very solid squad after adding Ivan Perisic and Fraser Forster early in the summer window. (JPW)
June 10 – Gabriel Jesus wants Premier League move
According to Fabrizio Romano, Gabriel Jesus wants a move to another Premier League team. He has been linked with Arsenal, while Tottenham are also said to be interested. With Erling Haaland (see below) coming in, Jesus won’t be first-choice at City and he has been very good, consistently, over the last five years. However, the 25-year-old would be the main man up top at Arsenal and surely that appeals to him rather than signing for another club where he is the back-up forward, like he was at City after being in the shadows of Sergio Aguero season after season.
June 10 – Quartet leave Everton as free agents
Cenk Tosun, Fabian Delph, Jonjoe Kenny and Gylfi Sigurdsson have all left Everton as their contracts have expired. Delph and Kenny played pretty big roles in keeping Everton in the Premier League under Frank Lampard last season. There will be an almighty freshening up of the squad at Goodison Park this summer and that is badly needed given the roster of players who are remnants of Ronald Koeman, Carlo Ancelotti and Rafael Benitez. (JPW)
June 10 – Liverpool frontrunners to sign Darwin Nunez
A report from The Athletic states that Darwin Nunez has decided he wants to sign for Liverpool and there is an agreement in place between the club and the player. The Benfica and Uruguay star, 22, has a host of suitors across Europe thanks to his prolific season with the Portuguese giants which saw him star in their run to the UEFA Champions League quarterfinal where they lost to Liverpool. Nunez impressed Klopp when Liverpool played against Benfica (Nunez scored in each leg) and with the future of Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah uncertain, plus Roberto Firmino coming towards the end of his career and Divock Origi already out, Liverpool need to revamp their attacking lineup.
Per the report, Liverpool would have to pay a club-record $106 million to sign Nunez. The Reds spend big when they want to and that worked out well in the case of Virgil van Dijk and Alisson. Nunez is a rising star in world soccer and his aggression, clinical finishing and pace mean he is perfect for this Liverpool team and will slot in well alongside Luis Diaz and Salah (at least for next season) up top. Liverpool don’t mess around when they close in on buying a player and with Manchester United, Real Madrid and others pushing hard to sign Nunez, it seems like his heart is set on a switch to Anfield. (JPW)
June 8 – West Ham still pursuing Jesse Lingard, willing to sell Said Benrahma
West Ham reportedly remain in hot pursuit of Jesse Lingard, who is set to be a free agent when his Manchester United contract expires on June 30, as David Moyes appears set to finally land his top target after months of coveting the 29-year-old. In other West Ham transfer news, Moyes is ready to offload Said Benrahma after a disappointing first two seasons at the London Stadium. West Ham paid Brentford $40 million for the Algerian winger. (AE)
June 8 – DONE DEAL: Spurs sign Fraser Forster to serve as Hugo Lloris backup
Tottenham announced on Wednesday that Fraser Forster has been signed on a free transfer from Southampton. Forster will serve as backup to captain and no. 1 goalkeeper Hugo Lloris, thus guaranteeing an experienced Premier League ‘keeper in net game in and game out. (AE)

June 8 – Everton agree deal to sign James Tarkowski from relegated Burnley
James Tarkowski won’t be joining Burnley in the EFL Championship following Burnley’s relegation from the Premier League, as the 29-year-old center back has reportedly agreed a contract with Everton, who were very nearly relegated themselves this season. Tarkowski’s contract is set to expire on June 30, so he’ll move to Goodison Park without a transfer fee involved. Tarkowski has been at Burnley since January of 2016, when he moved from Brentford, who he previously joined when they were in League One, before winning promotion in his first season at the club, for just under $4 million. (AE)
June 8 – DONE DEAL: Leeds sign Red Bull Salzburg right back Rasmus Kristensen
Jesse Marsch has been reunited with another former Red Bull Salzburg star, with Leeds announcing on Wednesday their signing of Danish international Rasmus Kristensen. The 24-year-old joined Salzburg the same summer that Marsch took over, in 2019. Kristensen is, of course, the second former Salzburg player to re-join Marsch at Leeds, after USMNT attacker Brenden Aaronson signed last month. According to a report from Sky Sports, Borussia Dortmund and Brentford were also in the mix to sign Kristensen. (AE)

June 7 – Liverpool reject opening bid from Bayern Munich for Sadio Mane
Bayern Munich reportedly offered $26 million (plus $5 million in add-ons) for Sadio Mane, but the Bundesliga giants were quickly turned away by Liverpool. Bayern will no doubt be back with another offer, though they hope to cap their costs at around $50 million. (AE)
June 7 – Man City want $63 million from Newcastle for Nathan Ake
Newcastle United are expected to make a move for Manchester City center back Nathan Ake this summer, but the Dutchman won’t come cheaply. Man City intend to recoup all of the $52 million they paid for him two summers ago — plus a little profit on top. (AE)
June 4 – Arsenal one of a few clubs interested in Leeds’ Raphinha
With Nicolas Pepe expecting (or, at least hoping) to leave the club this summer, Arsenal could soon have two things in abundance: 1) room in the wage bill (Pepe earns $175,000 per week), and 2) playing time for a star attacker (this was present already). That’s why Arsenal are reportedly considering making a move for Leeds star Raphinha, though they’re likely to face stiff competition from other clubs as well as Leeds, who have dug their heels in and said that Raphinha will only leave if a club meets their valuation. Though he and Bukayo Saka play a similar role, Raphinha is versatile enough that he could play in other attacking positions to get Arsenal’s two best (theoretical) attackers on the field together. (AE)
June 1 – Manchester United “in talks with Barcelona” over signing Frenkie de Jong
According to Fabrizio Romano, Manchester United are in direct talks with Barcelona over the possibility of signing Dutch international midfielder Frenkie de Jong. The 25-year-old has spoken over the last few days and says he’s keen to stay at Barca and wants to play in the Champions League. However, it is believed that De Jong may be sold as Barcelona need to get him, and others, off the wage bill in order to fund a move for Robert Lewandowski. The price tag is over $91 million for Frenkie de Jong and he would be the man that Erik ten Hag builds his new-look Manchester United around. If United can pull off this deal it would be a huge coup but is seems like FDJ has reservations. (JPW)

June 1 – USMNT goalkeeper Gabriel Slonina linked with Chelsea
Slonina, 18, has been tracked by some of the top clubs in Europe and it is believed that Chelsea and Real Madrid are going head-to-head to sign the young Chicago Fire goalkeeper. Slonina is currently with the USMNT and the dual-national turned down a call-up to the Polish national team last month. Would this be a good move for him? He’d certainly head out on loan somewhere in Europe for a few years and as long as he’s playing regularly somewhere in a top European league, that would be great news for the USMNT. (JPW)
May 31 – DONE DEAL: Tottenham sign Ivan Perisic on two-year deal
Croatian star Ivan Perisic, 33, has signed a contract at Spurs until the summer of 2024. He worked with Antonio Conte at Inter and the experienced wide player will bring a winning mentality and quality to Tottenham’s squad. Here we focus on where Perisic will fit in at Tottenham, as this signing suggests that Conte is getting to sign the players he wants this summer. After leading Spurs back to the Champions League, this is no more than the Italian coach deserves. (JPW)

May 31 – Tottenham want Nottingham Forest loan star Djed Spence
According to Football.London, Spurs are very interested in 21-year-old right back/right wing-back Djed Spence. The Middlesbrough player excelled on loan at Nottingham Forest in the 2021-22 campaign, as he played a key role in their run to the FA Cup quarterfinals and promotion to the Premier League via the playoffs. Per the report, Spence is very interested in working with Antonio Conte and Spurs’ technical director Fabio Paratici has watched Spence closely this season. However, the likes of Borussia Dortmund, Roma, Newcastle, Brentford and Forest are all trying to sign him permanently too. Spurs have Emerson Royal and Matt Doherty as their current right back options but Spence would push both for a starting spot. (JPW)
May 31 – Sadio Mane set to leave Liverpool this summer
Well then. Sadio Mane appears to have played his final game for Liverpool. Mane, 30, has one year on his contract and he said he would reveal his decision on whether or not he wanted to stay at Liverpool following the Champions League final. Yours truly was waiting for Mane in the mixed zone after the final in Paris but he didn’t appear, but now multiple reports say he wants to leave Liverpool and Bayern Munich will be his next destination. Per the reports, Liverpool and Bayern are negotiating a price for Mane. What a few years he’s had at Liverpool and if he does leave then this is a big blow for Jurgen Klopp. (JPW).

2 local school districts push for property tax in primary to pay teachers
Jonathan Casanas has been teaching music in Hillsborough County Public Schools for nearly a decade.
“I have a good friend, his name is Billy Whiting, and he says, 'Shared music-making experiences helps to string social bonds.' And I feel like that's something we're missing a lot in schools today,” Casanas told ABC Action News.
He lives for the joy and creativity he sees in his students, but he fears any day could be what they call an outro in music or his end.
“It wouldn't be an understatement to say that a lot of teachers, especially in the arts, are concerned about what the following years are gonna bring,” Casanas exclaimed. “And a lot of them are pursuing other roles, other career opportunities because it's just not competitive to work in this market. And as we know, inflation is going up, and it's getting harder to live in the area.”
It’s reasons like this that Hillsborough and Pasco county school districts are asking voters for a 1% millage tax on the primary ballot on August 23.
In Hillsborough County, the district is currently short 680 instructional positions, with an average salary of $47,000.
If approved, the district promises at least 75% of the money to:
- Enhance the average instructional salary by $4,000 and the average non-instructional salary by $2,000
- Add 45 art teachers, 67 music teachers, and 37 PE teachers
- Repair and replace art, music, and PE equipment
- Expand workforce education programs
“It's a hard time right now; we get it. But you know, last year we had 1,000 students that did not have a stable teacher every single day due to the great resignation. And that's unfair, you know, every day that we wait that, you know, that number grows and exacerbated,” Superintendent Addison Davis told ABC Action News in an interview.
In Pasco County, the district is short 364 instructional positions, with an average teaching salary of $46,000.
The district said the additional money would enhance salaries for non-administrators, including teachers, bus drivers, and custodians.
“If you drive up and down 54, lots of places in Pasco, you can see there's lots more students, we're having to build lots more schools, we're having to hire teachers to go into those schools and less drivers and everything else,” exclaimed Spokesperson Steve Hegarty.
We’ve heard some citizens express concern that the districts should already be getting enough money from rapid growth in the Tampa Bay area including impact fees as well as prior COVID-19 relief money.
We went to Political Analyst Susan MacManus for her input.
“It is true, and that's one of the big question marks and one of the reasons why the vote to put it on the ballot to begin with in Hillsborough County was just almost equally divided 4-3 vote,” MacManus explained. “Under state law, the millage rates for operational sides and school districts are set by the state, not locally, so they can't really tap 100% into that growth in the property tax due to assessment values going up and so forth.”
There’s also been concern over Hillsborough School’s past financial issues, so we asked Superintendent Davis what has changed.
“This is the first year in a decade the school district will not end in a financial deficit, and that came through tough decisions,” he said. “My first eight months were hard when we found out that we, you know, we were $150 million in the hole, and I had to cut positions, move 400 teachers from one school to the next. It was super unattractive. But it was what we had to do, and I had to do as a leader to be able to protect this organization so the state of Florida didn’t take us over into receivership.”
As for state help, last year, Governor Ron Desantis allocated $800 million to raise minimum teacher pay from $40,000 to $47,000, but board members say they’re losing teachers to other counties that pay more.
“ I think the state is starting to do better, but we also have to, we have to compete with our neighboring districts. So when the state does better, everybody does better Florida,” said Colleen Beaudoin, School Board member for District 2 in Pasco County.
Unfortunately, some are leaving the profession altogether.
“I can tell you that, you know, last week, we lost two music teachers in our county who are ready to make a move, a different transition to something new, where hopefully they can be compensated a little bit better and have a little bit more consistency,” Casanas exclaimed.
Macmanus said this vote comes down to who shows up for the primaries and where their priorities and trust lie.
We also asked these districts why they chose to put these referendums on the primary ballot instead of the November ballot.
We’re told that in November, there will be county-wide taxes for voters — a transportation tax in Hillsborough as well as a Penny for Pasco tax.
They did not want to get these taxes mixed up with education, especially in such a financially difficult time for everyone.
“ There's been some controversy about that some feel that they should have waited till November because more people would weigh in on the decision,” MacManus explained. “But… putting two tax proposals on one ballot was not always very shrewd, typically in times of recession.”
For homeowners, it would be $225 a year for a home valued at $250,000 and $375 a year for a $450,000 home.
If approved, these taxes will last four years. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2694300302215/2-local-school-districts-push-for-property-tax-in-primary-to-pay-teachers | 2022-08-09T01:47:16Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2694300302215/2-local-school-districts-push-for-property-tax-in-primary-to-pay-teachers | true | 2 |
Tasmanian Jessica Hoyle has started a fundraising campaign to launch a High Court challenge to Tasmania’s anti-discrimination laws.
Launceston based Hoyle wanted to run a series of events for lesbians including drag king shows, drag king bingo and karaoke nights, but wanted to stipulate that any who born male was excluded from attending.
In 2021 she applied to have an exemption from Tasmania’s anti-discrimination laws but was knocked back, with the state’s Anti-Discrimination Commissioner Sarah Bolt ruling that Hoyle’s application sought to go further than exemptions granted in other states by “requiring people to provide intimate information about their body to gain access to the proposed events”.
Speaking to The Mercury newspaper Hoyle said she wanted to recreate the ‘golden era of lesbianism’.
“I’m a homosexual woman who wants to meet other women, not men with penises,” Hoyle said.
“When I first came out of the closet as a girl, it was the golden era of lesbianism, we had our own spaces, dance nights for females.
“But all of the sudden they’ve disappeared. I don’t understand it. We are sick of having our rights erased.”
In a 2021 video from the Women’s Declaration International Hoyle shares that she has founded an organisation called LGB Tasmania that is opposed to “gender ideology’.
Hoyle has already taken her case to The Tasmanian Civil and Administrative Tribunal and is awaiting it’s finding, but says if she is unsuccessful she will take her case to the High Court.
Equality Tasmania has expressed concern about the proposed High Court case, saying it could set a precedent that would disadvantage many Tasmanians at risk of discrimination.
Equality Tasmania spokesperson, Dr Lucy Mercer Mapstone, said Hoyle’s views did not reflect the majority of Tasmania’s LGBTIQA+ community.
“As a queer, cisgender woman, I know the overwhelming majority of Tasmanian queer, lesbian and bisexual women support equality for transgender women and oppose attempts to exclude them.”
“Trans women are women. To say otherwise is inaccurate and distinctly anti-feminist.”
“Lesbian, queer, and bisexual women still face significant discrimination in the workplace and at school, and picking a fight within our own community causes unnecessary divisions over non-existent problems and diminishes our capacity to address real discrimination.”
“Of great concern is that Jessica Hoyle’s proposed High Court appeal seeks to water down protections for trans and gender diverse Tasmanians in the state Anti-Discrimination Act which is the strongest anti-discrimination law in Australia.”
“If Ms Hoyle succeeds it would set a dangerous precedent that would disadvantage not just LGBTIQA+ Tasmanians but all Tasmanians at risk of discrimination.”
Dr Mercer-Mapstone said the Tasmanian LGBTIQA+ community has come a long way in recent decades thanks to its capacity to work together as an accepting and inclusive community.
“Attempts to divide us threaten the progress we have all made, but I strongly believe such attempts will fail.”

OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — Republican Joe Kent, who challenged incumbent Republican Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler over her vote to impeach former President Donald Trump, has taken a narrow lead in the race for the second spot in Washington state’s top two primary.
Under the state's primary system, all candidates run on the same ballot, and the top two vote getters advance to the November election, regardless of party.
Democrat Marie Gluesenkamp Perez had already advanced to the November ballot since she was the top vote getter after the Aug. 2 primary, with 31% of the vote. Herrera Beutler, who had about 24% on Election Night, dropped to just over 22% by Monday, and was trailing Kent – a former Green Beret endorsed by Trump who surged in late returns and had nearly 23% of the vote— by 960 votes.
A mandatory recount would occur if the margin of votes between the No. 2 and No. 3 candidates is less than half of 1% and closer than 2,000 votes.

An estimated 10,000 votes are left to count in Clark County, the district's largest, and another update won't occur until Tuesday afternoon. Several hundred votes remain to be counted in the district's other counties, but counties have until Aug. 16 to finish their count and for canvassing boards to certify the results, followed by certification by the secretary of state by Aug. 19.
Because Washington is a vote-by-mail state and ballots just need to be in by Election Day, it often takes days to learn final results in close races as ballots arrive at county election offices throughout the week.
Of the 10 House Republicans who voted for Trump’s impeachment, four opted not to run for reelection. Michigan Rep. Peter Meijer was defeated in a primary Tuesday by Trump-endorsed John Gibbs and Rep. Tom Rice of South Carolina lost to a Trump-endorsed challenger in June. Rep. David Valadao of California — which has an open primary like Washington — survived a primary challenge. Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming is bracing for defeat in her Aug. 16 primary against a Trump-backed rival.
Washington Rep. Dan Newhouse advanced to the general election in his Washington state primary last week, fending off a Trump-endorsed rival, and will appear on the November ballot with Democratic opponent Doug White. | https://siouxcityjournal.com/news/national/trumps-pick-overtakes-gop-house-member-who-voted-to-impeach/article_e174179b-b8fe-5398-b6af-389cce77ab5f.html | 2022-08-09T01:56:20Z | https://siouxcityjournal.com/news/national/trumps-pick-overtakes-gop-house-member-who-voted-to-impeach/article_e174179b-b8fe-5398-b6af-389cce77ab5f.html | true | 43 |
For those of us who envision – and strive each day toward – a just, thriving, and transformative economy that works for all people and the planet, the final week of June 2022 was devastating.
On the 24th, the U.S. Supreme Court held that the Constitution does not confer a right to abortion, simultaneously eliminating a federal constitutional right and bodily autonomy. On the 30th, they limited the EPA’s ability to reduce climate pollution from power plants, severely damaging our ability to tackle our escalating climate crisis.
Either one of these callous decisions alone is enough to crush one’s resolve. However, the quick succession of these particular, nationwide gut punches landed unexpectedly hard, even for long-time savvy and scarred justice advocates. I know I am not the only American who spent this recent Fourth of July weekend wondering, “What aspect of independence, what form of liberty will be next?”
But as a Vermonter and as the executive director of Vermont Businesses for Social Responsibility I had parallel thoughts that bore a different weight.
As our member businesses have long understood: while we are steadfastly focused on prioritizing our employees, our communities, and our environment, we only do so in the broader, no-borders context of People, Planet, and Prosperity. We know that our actions have a positive impact beyond our state lines. We recognize – and embrace – our capacity to show leadership outside Vermont.
At this moment, we must frame our unique capacity for values-led leadership not just as an opportunity but as an obligation. We have a duty to inspire. We must be a brave, little state because as public health and human rights are trampled here and elsewhere, others are studying our example as they perhaps never have before. If we want things to improve nationally, it is our job to show them how it is done locally – by citizens, by communities, by businesses, by legislators, all acting in good faith for the common good.
We can start by doing our part – as voters, as influencers, as advocates – to enshrine reproductive rights in Vermont’s Constitution this fall. Proposal 5, a proposed amendment, will be on the November general election ballot and can make this happen. As Governor Scott’s office clarified this week, “Vermont is regarded as having one of the most difficult constitutional amendment processes in the nation.” In other words, if we can make it happen here, surely other states can find a way.
But there’s much to do before we vote this fall. As our partners at Planned Parenthood of Northern New England (PPNNE) know, the consequences of denying people their right to abortion will be devastating. The SCOTUS decision hurts all genders, incomes, and backgrounds – including workers, businesses, and the economy.
We must also work to decarbonize Vermont’s economy, moving toward a more affordable, reliable, clean energy future. In keeping with the Vermont Climate Council’s first Climate Action Plan, the Public Service Department is, as of July 5, revisiting many of our state’s most crucial clean energy policies and programs – including our long-outdated Renewable Energy Standard.
We can put Vermont on track to power our state with clean electricity faster than any other country. We can institute a 100 percent Renewable Energy Standard by 2030 and double the Tier II requirement to 20 percent local renewable energy. This change would not only help Vermont meet our emissions reduction requirements but create good-paying jobs, which ensure that the communities, economy and grid infrastructure of the Green Mountain State are more resilient to the impacts of climate change.
During our Annual Conference this spring, the keynote address was billed as centering on “hope.” After two years of pandemic anxiety, racial reckoning, visible climate change, and political upheaval, we needed to have our aspirations revived. Dr. Carolyn Finney took the stage and shared personal stories about growing up Black, socio-economic friction, professional setbacks, family traumas, and more. She was in no rush to help anyone feel “hopeful.”
But there was a method in her sometimes-unsettling recollections. By sharing her most difficult narratives, she made it clear that the personal is communal. The most difficult and frustrating moments in our lives have the potential to be the most hopeful ultimately. Her conclusion was both inspiring and pragmatic: hope only happens when we’re vulnerable and invested with others in the toughest of fights.
I’ll paraphrase the end of her keynote here:
Hope for me comes when everybody gets involved, so at this moment, I am incredibly hopeful.
We are all here playing the long game, and we don’t know who will show up with us or how they will show up. Therefore, we don’t yet know what will become possible, even in the moments of deepest darkness.
Systemic change is lifelong work. You are taking a risk in order to gain something. You are leaning into the actual practice of something. It will cost you something, but we are worth it.
We Vermonters know a thing or two about dark days and getting stuck – about lighting the way and helping each other out of the muck. Let’s do our part in showing our nation there are ways to get unstuck and reasons to be hopeful. | https://www.reformer.com/opinion/weybridge-our-moment-to-lead-vermont-in-the-wake-of-scotus-decisions/article_57e9696c-172e-11ed-8582-2ff59138b15a.html | 2022-08-09T01:58:08Z | https://www.reformer.com/opinion/weybridge-our-moment-to-lead-vermont-in-the-wake-of-scotus-decisions/article_57e9696c-172e-11ed-8582-2ff59138b15a.html | true | 4 |
Insurance Company Reaped 665% Increase in Profits from 2019 to 2020
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- CSAA – the northern California Auto Club affiliate – overcharged its customers by at least $150 million for auto insurance during the pandemic, and they're going to court to get their money back, said Consumer Watchdog today.
A lawsuit filed in Alameda County Superior Court on behalf of CSAA's policyholders says the state's seventh-largest auto insurance company charged inflated premiums during the COVID-19 pandemic, when many of its customers were required to stay at home with their cars in their driveways. The company violated the protections of Proposition 103 and orders issued by the California Insurance Commissioner to reduce its rates. The complaint also alleges that CSAA acted unfairly at a time of great hardship for many Californians.
During the pandemic, which began in March 2020, the number of miles driven by motorists fell dramatically and auto insurance claims submitted to CSAA dropped precipitously. In 2020, CSAA only paid about 48.2 cents in claims for every dollar in premiums it collected from its auto policyholders. According to the complaint, CSAA overcharged its customers by at least $250 million between March 2020 and June 2021; of that amount, CSAA repaid only about $96 million.
As a result, CSAA's profits on its auto insurance business skyrocketed 665% in 2020.
"The California Insurance Commissioner singled out CSAA as one of three companies that most flagrantly violated its orders to refund excessive premiums. Our pre-filing investigation shows that his identification of CSAA was fully justified," said Jay Angoff of Mehri and Skalet, one of three law firms representing CSAA policyholders in the lawsuit.
"So many Californians suffered enormously from COVID and its economic fallout, and big insurance companies like CSAA should not be allowed to profiteer during this historic pandemic," said David Borgen, of Goldstein, Borgen, Dardarian & Ho.
"California law requires insurance companies to maintain fair rates at all times," said Harvey Rosenfield, a Consumer Watchdog lawyer on the case and the author of Proposition 103. "As a result of its pandemic profiteering, CSAA reaped an astounding financial windfall—money that belongs to its customers."
Read the lawsuit. https://www.consumerwatchdog.org/sites/default/files/2022-08/2022-08-03%20Complaint.pdf
Proposition 103, enacted by California voters in 1988, requires insurance companies to maintain reasonable insurance prices at all times. It specifies that "[n]o [insurance] rate shall be approved or remain in effect which is excessive, inadequate, unfairly discriminatory or otherwise in violation of this chapter."
Ignoring this requirement, CSAA continued to charge auto insurance premiums during the pandemic that had been approved by the Insurance Commissioner in 2019—based on projections of accident claims that did not contemplate the unprecedented "stay at home" orders issued by the State of California in March 2020. CSAA issued modest refunds through June of 2020, but nothing after that, despite repeated orders by the Insurance Commissioner requiring insurance companies to reduce their rates or provide additional refunds.
The lawsuit, Early v. CSAA, Case No. 22CV015548, asks the Alameda County Superior Court to order CSAA to fully refund the overcharges. It is brought under Proposition 103, which authorizes consumers to sue insurance companies in court when they violate the measure's protections.
The case is being prosecuted by three nationally recognized law firms: Mehri and Skalet, a Washington, D.C.–based law firm that has successfully brought many class action lawsuits, including insurance-related suits; Goldstein, Borgen, Dardarian & Ho, based in Oakland, California, which litigates civil and worker rights; and Consumer Watchdog, a California-based non-profit organization whose mission includes challenging violations of insurance reform Proposition 103.
Consumer Watchdog is a non-profit public interest organization. Visit us on the web at www.ConsumerWatchdog.org.

One of the darkest chapters of war history in human civilization is the atom bombing done by the USA on Japanese cities Hiroshima and Nagasaki during the World War 2. While the world was used to wars during that phase, what happened in Japan was completely unexpected and devastating. The US first dropped a bomb nicknamed “Little Boy” on August 6 and destroyed the southwestern city of Hiroshima. The bombing killed over 140,000 people out of the total estimated population of 3.5 lakh. The death toll continued to increase later due to injuries and radiation-related deaths.
Just 3 days later, the US attacked Japan with another atom bombing. This time over the southwestern city of Nagasaki. At 11:02 AM on August 9, US B029 bomber Bockscar dropped a 4.5-ton plutonium bomb nicknamed “Fat Man”. While the hills surrounding the city averted some destruction, an estimated 60,000 to 80,000 lives were still lost because of the bombing.
The continuous destruction forced Japan to surrender unconditionally and it laid down its arms in World War 2 on August 15, 1945, ending its aggression in Asia.
Nagasaki was a shipbuilding centre for the Japanese and the US forces had planned to bomb it on August 11, 1945. However, bad weather predictions for the day pushed the bombing day forward.
While it’s been many years since the deadly day, the scars left behind by the bombing destruction are still afresh in Japanese people’s minds. The days of the bombing are remembered every year as a mark for a tribute to people who lost their precious lives during the destruction.
The destruction caused by the bombing continued for years and even decades after the horror days, radiations left behind the bombing caused several diseases and deformities in people. Even newborn babies suffered the brunt of the destruction and were either born with a deformity or developed in later years.

The Bachelorette : Rachel and Gabby Face Their 'Biggest Fear' When 1 Man Expresses a Change of Heart
This post contains spoilers from Monday's episode of The Bachelorette.
Rachel Recchia and Gabby Windey's love boat docked in Belgium.
The Bachelorettes and their remaining suitors traveled aboard Virgin Voyages' Valiant Lady cruise ship to Bruges, but the waters quickly got rocky. Rachel invited Logan on this week's group date, but before it took place, Logan decided to break it to Rachel that he preferred to pursue a relationship with Gabby.
"I originally thought that I was going to receive the rose from Gabby," the videographer, 26, explained to Rachel. "And it's been hard for me, moving forward, to kind of forget about that connection. When I read that date card today, I felt that everyone else on that card was sure that you were going to be someone who they did end up with at the end of this, while I still had reservations and feelings for Gabby. And that being said, I can't go today."
Rachel, 26, played it cool after hearing the news. "If that's where your heart is, I appreciate you telling me," she told Logan. "I just wish it would've been earlier."
However, to the cameras, Rachel admitted, "I was really hopeful that things could pick up with Logan and I."
She also no longer wanted to go on the group date. "I feel bad that they have to keep dealing with this week after week," Rachel said of her group of men. "But I'm not ready right now to go on a group date and act like I don't feel like a huge loser."
Rachel told host Jesse Palmer how she felt, and he relayed to the men that their date wouldn't be happening, but that they'd reconvene later for the afterparty.
Then, Logan informed Gabby about his decision and realized that Gabby keeping him around "seems unlikely."
"This morning, I had a conversation with Rachel and I told her that I needed to step away from dating her," Logan told Gabby. In response, Gabby told Logan that he was "the only one that both of us felt like we could comfortably say, 'I'm into him.'"
Before officially admitting Logan into her dating pool, Gabby said she wanted to check with Rachel. "This is my worst nightmare on the outside of things," she said. "But it's not you. I just want to always, always, always put my friends first. And I am and I have been interested in you."
Gabby went on to check in with Rachel, who appreciated that she came to her first. But in an on-camera interview, the flight instructor owned up to being a little upset over the change-up.
"At the end of the day, I'm going to support her, no matter what," Rachel said. "But I really hope Gabby sends him home."
RACHEL'S GROUP DATE
Tino, Zach, Meatball, Ethan and Tyler eventually met up with Rachel for the afterparty portion of the group date. First, Rachel explained why she canceled their date earlier.
"I want to really apologize to you all," Rachel said to the group. "This morning, Logan did come to my room. He told me that he is interested in pursuing a relationship with Gabby and this is something that Gabby and I … it was kind of our biggest fear. I thought we were farther enough in this process where this wasn't going to happen. It's just tough, the constant rejection. And I do want to like, open the floor, if you guys don't want to be here, you do not have to be."
No one walked out, though. Instead, the men offered reassurance. "I'm sorry you had to deal with that," advertising executive Ethan, 27, said to Rachel.
Tino confessed that he felt "a little unseen" by Rachel canceling the group date. "I want to be your best friend and I want you to be able to tell me everything," the general contractor, 27, added.
Rachel told Tino: "I do see you. I literally look forward to every single time we get to spend together."
Zach encouraged Rachel to scream out her frustrations. "It's not easy and you're handling it absolutely like a champion," said the tech executive, 25.
Rachel ultimately gave a rose to Tino, because he "continues to be extremely vulnerable with me and is able to open up with me even when it's really hard."
GABBY'S GROUP DATE
Gabby took Nate, Erich, Michael and Mario to explore Bruges, where they tried Belgian waffles, competed in a soccer match and played a version of rock, paper, scissors, in which the winner slapped the loser with a fish.
Then, Logan showed up at the afterparty, confusing the group of men. Logan explained how he wanted to switch groups and that "I got word today that she wants me to have an opportunity to pursue [her]."
Nate didn't understand Logan joining Team Gabby, and Mario wanted to let the nurse, 31, know that he didn't waffle on his feelings.
"I'm all in," the personal trainer, 31, told Gabby. "I think that you're awesome. And I'm very much about you."
Real estate analyst Erich, 29, told Gabby he thought their relationship "could probably go somewhere."
Logan also offered reassurance: "This is where I want to be," he told Gabby. "I'm very into you."
However, Gabby ended up giving the date rose to Nate.

RACHEL'S ONE-ON-ONE
Rachel ended up taking Aven on her one-on-one, telling the cameras, "Right off the bat, Aven is one of the most handsome men I have ever seen and we are exploring Bruges, which is one of the most romantic places I have ever been to."
They walked around the city and came across three women who make lace. One of the women gave Rachel a wedding veil to wear.
At the dinner portion of the date, Aven, 28, talked about the importance of stability in relationships.
"Growing up, my parents were never together," the sales executive said. "I lived with my mom for a few years and then I moved with my dad for the rest of my life, basically."

Aven said he and his mom bonded later in life and she gave him a bracelet she made, which he then offered to Rachel. "Maybe it'll turn your experience in all this around for a little bit," Aven suggested.
Rachel told Aven she had "the most incredible day" with him and offered him a rose.
"I really do see Rachel as someone who can be my future and somebody that I want to spend the rest of my life with," Aven told the cameras.
GABBY'S ONE-ON-ONE
Johnny and Gabby went on a date to a beer farm to taste some brews and do a beer-inspired spa day.
Gabby felt like she and the realtor, 25, had only been "surface level" and looked forward to tackling deeper subjects with him.
Over dinner, Johnny disclosed that his last relationship ended when he started to truly be himself.

"I'm so hard on myself, I feel like," Johnny said to Gabby. "I think I seriously lack some serious confidence to where I should talk to people about it, or whatever. I definitely struggle with it. Like, just depression and just really feeling bad about yourself."
Gabby said she related as someone who also struggled with anxiety and depression. "I never have to be reserved around you," Gabby told Johnny before giving him a rose.
ROSE CEREMONY
Before the cocktail party, Rachel issued an apology to her group of men. "I want to apologize to everyone who lost time this week, but I'm so excited to have another night with all of you," she said. "And I am so hopeful for what's to come."
Gabby told her guys that when it comes to love, "with great risk comes great reward."

But the question on all of the men's minds remained whether Logan's risk of trying to jump from Team Rachel to Gabby would pay off in the end.
At the rose ceremony, Rachel extended roses to Zach, Tyler and Ethan. Gabby gave hers to Jason, Spencer, Erich — and finally, Logan. With the decision, her first impression rose recipient Mario was sent home.

Australia remains top partner for Solomons
Australia will provide the Solomon Islands with more than $17 million for the Pacific Games as a slate of ministers and top US diplomats tour the region to combat Chinese influence.
Pacific Minister Pat Conroy has met with Solomon Islands Prime Minister Manasseh Sogavare to discuss the Sino-Solomons security pact signed earlier this year.
Mr Conroy says he received reassurances Australia remained the island nation's security partner of choice and there would be no foreign military bases or persistent military presence in the Solomons.
"It was a very warm and friendly meeting and we discussed a range of issues. Our security partnership was obviously one part of that," Mr Conroy told reporters in Honiara on Tuesday.
"The prime minister repeated his assurance Australia is the security partner of choice for the Solomon Islands, and the Solomon Islands government would come to Australia first if there are any gaps that need to be filled."
The minister and Vice Admiral Hammond also met with local police minister, Anthony Veke.
But Mr Conroy didn't directly speak to China's influence in the region when asked by reporters.
"That's a question for the government of China about their interest in this region," he said.
"What I'm interested in is how Australia can be a true and faithful member of the Pacific family, how we can listen to the priorities of our Pacific family and act upon them, and the number one is climate change."
US Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman said during her visit to Canberra on Monday, following a trip through Samoa, Tonga and Solomon Islands, that "climate is such an existential threat and it's understood so powerfully out here".
US President Joe Biden is due to host leaders of Pacific island nations at the White House in September and Australia's Assistant Treasurer Stephen Jones is heading to Vanuatu for a meeting of economic ministers.
Ms Sherman's trip through the region, where she visited Honiara over the weekend with US ambassador to Australia Caroline Kennedy, comes as domestic tensions rise in the Solomons.
Mr Sogavare has since moved to amend the constitution to extend his time in office by delaying elections until the end of 2023.
The prime minister has nominated the Pacific Games as the reason for the postponement, saying voter registration wouldn't be possible due to preparations.
The opposition has branded the move a power play.
"Many of us think it is an attempt to stay in power and using the Games as an excuse," Opposition MP Peter Kenilorea Jnr has said.
"There's a lot of time to have the elections as well as enjoy the Games later that year in November 2023."

Researchers are seeking thousands of volunteers in the U.S. and Europe to test the first potential vaccine against Lyme disease in 20 years -- in hopes of better fighting the tick-borne threat.
Lyme is a growing problem, with cases rising and warming weather helping ticks expand their habitat. While a vaccine for dogs has long been available, the only Lyme vaccine for humans was pulled off the U.S. market in 2002 from lack of demand, leaving people to rely on bug spray and tick checks.
Now Pfizer and French biotech Valneva are aiming to avoid previous pitfalls in developing a new vaccine to protect both adults and kids as young as 5 from the most common Lyme strains on two continents.
“There wasn’t such a recognition, I think, of the severity of Lyme disease" and how many people it affects the last time around, Pfizer vaccine chief Annaliesa Anderson told The Associated Press.
Robert Terwilliger, an avid hunter and hiker, was first in line Friday when the study opened in central Pennsylvania. He’s seen lots of friends get Lyme and is tired of wondering if his next tick bite will make him sick.
“It’s always a worry, you know? Especially when you’re sitting in a tree stand hunting and you feel something crawling on you,” said Terwilliger, 60, of Williamsburg, Pennsylvania. “You’ve got to be very, very cautious.”
Exactly how often Lyme disease strikes isn't clear. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention cites insurance records suggesting 476,000 people are treated for Lyme in the U.S. each year. Pfizer’s Anderson put Europe’s yearly infections at about 130,000.
Black-legged ticks, also called deer ticks, carry Lyme-causing bacteria. The infection initially causes fatigue, fever and joint pain. Often -- but not always -- the first sign is a red, round bull's-eye rash.
Early antibiotic treatment is crucial, but it can be hard for people to tell if they were bitten by ticks, some as small as a pin. Untreated Lyme can cause severe arthritis and damage the heart and nervous system. Some people have lingering symptoms even after treatment.
Most vaccines against other diseases work after people are exposed to a germ. The Lyme vaccine offers a different strategy — working a step earlier to block a tick bite from transmitting the infection, said Dr. Gary Wormser, a Lyme expert at New York Medical College who isn’t involved with the new research.
How? It targets an “outer surface protein” of the Lyme bacterium called OspA that’s present in the tick’s gut. It’s estimated a tick must feed on someone for about 36 hours before the bacteria spreads to its victim. That delay gives time for antibodies the tick ingests from a vaccinated person’s blood to attack the germs right at the source.
In small, early-stage studies, Pfizer and Valneva reported no safety problems and a good immune response. The newest study will test if the vaccine, called VLA15, really protects and is safe. The companies aim to recruit at least 6,000 people in Lyme-prone areas including the Northeast U.S. plus Finland, Germany, the Netherlands, Poland and Sweden.
They’ll receive three shots, either the vaccine or a placebo, between now and next spring’s tick season. A year later, they’ll get a single booster dose.
“We’re really looking at something that’s a seasonal vaccine,” Anderson said, so people have high antibody levels during the months when ticks are most active.
Volunteers can be as young as 5 and should be at high risk because they spend a lot of time in tick-infested areas, such as hikers, campers and hunters, said Dr. Alan Kivitz who heads one of the study sites at Altoona Center for Clinical Research in Duncansville, Pennsylvania.
In his own practice, “not a single day goes by that someone either has a concern about Lyme disease, could possibly have Lyme disease,” Kivitz said.
This new candidate is different from a previous Lyme vaccine that GlaxoSmithKline pulled off the market in 2002 amid controversy and low sales. With about 75% effectiveness, that old Lyme shot got a lukewarm endorsement from vaccine experts, wasn't tested in children and drew unsubstantiated reports of joint-related side effects.
While the new Pfizer-Valneva vaccine also targets the OspA protein, it's engineered somewhat differently than its predecessor and also targets six Lyme strains in the U.S. and Europe instead of just one.
The Pfizer study will span two tick seasons to get answers — but it's not the only research into new ways to prevent Lyme. University of Massachusetts scientists are working on a vaccine alternative, shots of pre-made Lyme-fighting antibodies.
And Yale University researchers are in early stages of designing a vaccine that recognizes a tick's saliva — which in animal testing sparked a skin reaction that made it harder for ticks to hang on and feed.
Since different tick species carry many diseases other than Lyme, ultimately “we're all hoping for a tick-bite prevention vaccine,” Wormser said.

WASHINGTON (AP) — It was quite a week for Russia’s professional tennis players — four tournaments, three titles.
One of them, Liudmila Samsonova, thinks it might not be merely a coincidence that this recent run of success for her, Daria Kasatkina and Daniil Medvedev comes shortly after they were banned from competing at Wimbledon because of their country’s invasion of, and ongoing war in, Ukraine.
“We are are all very angry about the situation,” Samsonova said after beating Estonia’s Kaia Kanepi 4-6, 6-3, 6-3 in the final of the Citi Open on Sunday for her second career WTA title. “I mean, it was a really tough month.”
Samsonova earned her trophy in Washington a day after Medvedev, who leads the men’s rankings, defeated Britain’s Cam Norrie for the championship at Los Cabos, Mexico, and several hours before Kasatkina won the title at San Jose, California, with a victory over American Shelby Rogers. All three events are hard-court tuneups ahead of the year’s last Grand Slam tournament, the U.S. Open, which begins in New York on Aug. 29; Medvedev is the defending champion there. (The week’s fourth title, the men’s event at the Citi Open, was won by Australia’s Nick Kyrgios; a Russian, Andrey Rublev, reached the semifinals).
At the previous Grand Slam event, Wimbledon, which ran from late June into July, all athletes from Russia and Belarus were blocked by the All England Club from participating because of the attack on Ukraine. That prompted the WTA and ATP professional tours to withhold rankings points from the tournament, meaning whatever was earned there in 2021 fell off a player’s record and could not be replaced with how they fared there this year.
“It’s been a great week for us. I wouldn’t say that Wimbledon (gave) a lot of motivation to us, because we want to win these tournaments and matches in any case. I think it just happened that, in this particular week, three Russian players won titles. It’s not happening very often, let’s say,” said Kasatkina, who has called for an end to the fighting in Ukraine. “I think it’s just a coincidence. It shows that we’re on a good level.”
When Samsonova arrived in Washington a week ago, her ranking had dropped from a career-best of 25th in May to 60th. And she had not played a match on tour since June.
She used that time to go to her training base in Italy and work on her game — and herself.
She started collaborating with a mental coach (“I can’t thank her enough,” Samsonova said Sunday). She sought to improve her topspin forehand, her serve and her return, all of which paid off during a victory over reigning U.S. Open champion Emma Raducanu in the quarterfinals and against Kanepi in the final.
Asked Sunday about Wimbledon and the results she and other Russians produced this week, Samsonova said: “We (had) a lot of time to work, so I think we (used) it very well.”
Up until a couple of weeks ago, she was not sure whether she would be able to play in Washington at all. That’s because her visa was due to expire in July and she was told there might not be enough time to complete the application process for a renewal.
That might have meant missing not just the Citi Open, but also other tournaments in the country, including perhaps the U.S. Open. (Unlike the All England Club, the U.S. Tennis Association announced it would permit athletes from Russia and Belarus to enter the draws).
Fortunately, Samsonova said, it did work out, otherwise she might have gone back to Europe to play in some lower-level events.
“I really don’t know” what would have happened, she acknowledged.
The paperwork came through, Samsonova made it to Washington, and on Sunday night, she was pondering something Medvedev and Kasatkina might have been, too: What’s the proper way to celebrate?
“For sure,” the 23-year-old Samsonova said, “some drinks.”

Torrential rain, flooding in Seoul kills seven
New feature: Check out news exactly for YOU ➡️ find “Recommended for you” block and enjoy!
Subway stations and major roads were underwater in the South Korean capital Seoul after record-breaking rains caused severe flooding, with at least seven people dead and seven more missing, officials said Tuesday.
Dramatic images shared on social media late Monday showed people wading through waist-deep water, metro stations overflowing, and cars half-submerged in Seoul's posh Gangnam district after torrential rain battered the city.
The downpour that began Monday is the heaviest rainfall in South Korea in 80 years, according to Seoul's Yonhap news agency.
"At least seven people died in the Seoul metropolitan area, while seven others are missing, due to heavy rain as of 7:30 this morning," an official at Seoul's Interior ministry told AFP.
Local reports said three people living in a banjiha -- cramped basement flats of the kind made famous in Bong Joon-ho's Oscar-winning "Parasite" -- including a teenager, died as their apartment was inundated by floodwaters.

Parts of Seoul, surrounding Gyeonggi province and port city Incheon recorded rains of more than 100 millimeters per hour Monday night, according to the Yonhap news agency, with per-hour precipitation in the capital's Dongjak district surpassing 141.5 mm at one point, the heaviest downpour since 1942.
President Yoon Suk-yeol ordered government officials to evacuate residents from high-risk areas and encouraged businesses to allow employees flexible commuting hours on Tuesday morning.
"Nothing is more precious than life and safety. The government will thoroughly manage the heavy rain situation," he wrote on his Facebook account.
Neighbourhoods close to the presidential residence in southern Seoul were affected, according to images of the flooding posted on social media.
Power outages were reported across the capital area late Monday, while some operation of the Seoul metro as well as railway services was temporarily disrupted by the heavy rain.
The Seoul express bus terminal in Gangnam was submerged, and flood water also leaked into a cafe and library at the COEX Convention and Exhibition Center in the same area.
An image of a man in a suit sitting on the hood of a submerged vehicle in the wealthy district in southern Seoul -- which was featured in Psy's 2012 K-pop hit "Gangnam Style" -- went viral online.
South Korea remained highly disrupted Tuesday, with many roads and tunnels closed for safety reasons, Yonhap reported.
Hiking trails at many of South Korea's national parks were closed and passenger ferry routes, including from Incheon port, were suspended.

Lebanon has six new satirical self-printable ‘lollar’ notes

Lebanon has a new currency — not one that you can legally spend, but an ersatz one that nonetheless can be withdrawn from custom-made ATMs located across Beirut or printed directly via a website.
The six new bank notes, created by Leo Burnett, part of Publicis Groupe Middle East and a group known as The Lebanese Transparency Association – No Corruption, are satirical. They are called “lollars,” and they range in value from 1 to 100 as does the similarly named U.S. paper currency.
Each lollar bill represents a corruption crisis that has impacted Lebanese citizens over the past three years in areas of transportation, environment, electricity, port and fire management. Lollar is a term created in 2019 by financial expert Dan Azzi to characterize the worthlessness of Lebanese dollars. The pretend money is meant to raise awareness of the fact that the millions of U.S. dollars deposited in Lebanese banks can now be withdrawn only in local currency, and thus are as worthless as lollars, the Currency of Corruption.
The designs feature scenes connected to corruption in Lebanon.
The train station on the 1-lollar note was founded in 1911 in Tripoli and was managed by the French mandate until returned to the Lebanese government after independence in 1943. It was officially declared nonoperational in 1989, but the Lebanese government still allocates a budget of millions to cover its expenses.
The 5-lollar note is devoted to the fuel cartels and their effect on Lebanon’s economy when the government lifted subsidies on fuel and the central bank stopped allowing credits. This forced importing companies to ration fuel distribution, which led gas stations to exponentially raise prices.
The 10-lollar denomination is devoted to garbage. In 1994, the government made deals with private companies to handle issues regarding garbage landfills in the sea. The dumps were successful only in draining the government’s budget, with no solution to the garbage crisis.
The 20-lollar note is a tribute to the failure of civil services, reflected particularly in the more than 100 disastrous fires each year. They are attributed to negligence and unpreparedness, even though, for instance, $14 million was spent in the year of 2009 on firefighting equipment in case of emergencies. It has been necessary for Jordan, Cyprus, and Greece to step in to help the Lebanese army put out fires.
Lebanon’s energy management sector was created in 1909 under Turkish rule. The 50-lollar note highlights how energy factories have closed due to the scarcity of dollars and corruption. Residents are being victimized by generator cartels and fuel of suspicious quality. Even so, public debt from this sector is nearly $43 million dollars with almost no relief in sight.
The 100-lollar denomination is an homage to inept port management. In 2013, a “time bomb” of sorts arrived in Beirut on a Russian ship carrying ammonium nitrate. It was stored there until it exploded in August 2020, killing 218, injuring 7,000, creating 300,000 homeless, and leaving billions of dollars worth of damage. A byproduct was the revelation of massive corruption in the form of negligence, deals, and bribes.
All six Currency of Corruption notes can be printed free from the Currency of Corruption website.

Fewer people tried to quit smoking as the COVID-19 pandemic began, and this continued for at least a year, according to a new U.S. study.
The American Cancer Society detailed pandemic smoking behavior in the report, while stressing the need to re-engage smokers in smoking cessation campaigns.
"Smoking cessation is an urgent public health priority given that smoking is associated with an increased risk of severe COVID-19 outcomes and at least 12 cancers," said lead study author Dr. Priti Bandi. She is principal scientist for risk factors and screening surveillance research at the society.
"It is essential to re-engage persons who smoke in serious attempts to quit smoking, considering a typical smoker tries to quit on average six times before being successful," Bandi added in a society news release.
The findings are based on nationwide surveys that included nearly 800,000 people between 2011 and 2020. The study also included retail scanner data from 31 states for nicotine replacement therapies. That data was for the period between January 2017 and July 2021.
The researchers found that the number of past-year attempts to quit smoking dropped between 2019 and 2020 for the first time since 2011. Attempts to quit also declined in 2020.
The relative decreases between 2019 and 2020 were the largest among people from groups who had disproportionately negative outcomes during the COVID-19 pandemic, including middle-aged people, those with two or more co-existing conditions, Black people, and people with less education.
The findings were published online Aug. 1 in JAMA Network Open.
"These results remind us how critical it is for clinicians and health care systems to support persons who smoke with evidence-based quitting strategies," said Dr. William Dahut, chief scientific officer at the American Cancer Society. "Such efforts must be particularly targeted to persons disproportionately impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic."
Meanwhile, sales of nicotine replacement therapy products were between 1% and 13% lower than expected sales. Declines began in April 2020 and continued through the first quarter of 2021, the findings showed.
Lisa Lacasse, president of the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network, said, "Tobacco is the number one preventable cause of cancer and is responsible for up to one-third of all cancer deaths. We know quitting tobacco isn't easy, so we must do everything in our power to ensure individuals trying to quit have access to the cessation services they need."
Ensuring that Medicaid covers all smoking cessation treatments and services approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in every state, and that state prevention and cessation programs are adequately funded will help more people quit and reduce cancer disparities, Lacasse added. | https://www.newsmax.com/health/health-news/smokers-quit-covid/2022/08/08/id/1082161/ | 2022-08-09T02:48:24Z | https://www.newsmax.com/health/health-news/smokers-quit-covid/2022/08/08/id/1082161/ | false | 4 |

Jewel's tour bus goes up in flames: Calls bus driver a 'hero'
Country artist Jewel shared a scary look at her charred tour bus on TikTok after it caught fire.
The "You Were Meant For Me" singer shared that her bus went up in flames while it was in a hotel parking lot. Luckily, no one was hurt.
Jewel says hotel employees saw the flames and alerted the bus driver, as well as the fire department. She did not disclose the location where this happened.
Jewel's video shows broken windows, loose or missing paneling, and a disheveled interior.

The singer called her bus driver a "hero." Jewel shared that there was a vintage amp and guitar on board that the bus driver was able to salvage from the fire.
The fire happened on an off day, so Jewel was not performing.
The Alaska native poked fun at the situation, saying "all's well that ends well, but how 'bout this bull-s---."

HOUSTON (AP) — A federal appeals court on Monday restored the death sentence of a bank robber convicted of killing his best friend, his friend’s fiancée and their three children.
In a 32-page opinion, a three-judge panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals overturned a lower court ruling that would have freed Ronald Jeffery Prible Jr. if the state did not retry Prible within six months. The panel ruled Prible failed to raise issues sufficiently compelling to discredit his conviction and sentence.
A Harris County jury condemned Prible to death row in 2002 for killing Esteban "Steve″ Herrera; Herrera’s fiancée, Nilda Tirado; Tirado’s 7-year-old daughter Rachel Elizabeth Cumpian; Herrera’s 7-year-old daughter Valerie; and the couple’s 22-month-old daughter Jade Herrera in 1999.
Testimony from the two-week trial showed Prible shot Herrera, then raped and shot Tirado before setting her body on fire to hide DNA evidence. The children died from smoke inhalation from the resulting fire.
Herrera, described as Prible’s best friend and partner in crime, allegedly robbed banks with Prible and used the money to buy and sell drugs. The men wanted to make enough money to open a topless club.
However, prosecutors said Prible turned on Herrera after accusing him of stealing $250,000. | https://www.ctpost.com/news/article/Appeals-court-restores-death-sentence-for-17360527.php | 2022-08-09T02:56:19Z | https://www.ctpost.com/news/article/Appeals-court-restores-death-sentence-for-17360527.php | true | 14 |

NEW YORK (Aug 9): The United States on Monday returned 30 stolen works of art and antiquities to Cambodia that had been looted from the southeast Asian nation, including from an ancient Khmer city, and illegally trafficked around the world for decades.
Manhattan federal prosecutor Damian Williams officially handed over the looted antiquities to Cambodia’s ambassador to the United States, Keo Chhea, in front of press.
“We celebrate the return of Cambodia’s cultural heritage to the Cambodian people, and reaffirm our commitment to reducing the illicit trafficking of art and antiquities,” Williams said.
Among the 30 works was a 10th-century sculpture of the Hindu deity Skanda, seated on a peacock, as well as a 10th-century sculpture of the Hindu god Ganesha. Both were stolen from Koh Ker, the ancient Khmer capital located 80 kilometers (50 miles) from the renowned temples of Angkor, Williams’s office said in a statement.
The antiquities, which range from the Bronze Age to the 12th century, had been stolen along with thousands of others during the wars in Cambodia in the 1970s and when the country reopened in the 1990s.
The federal prosecutor’s office said that thousands of Khmer statues and sculptures that were trafficked out of Cambodia over the course of decades to antique dealers in Bangkok, before being illegally exported to collectors, businessmen and even museums in Asia, Europe and the United States.
One of the dealers, American Douglas Latchford, was charged in 2019 with art trafficking, but the case was tabled after his death.
The New York prosecutor’s office is involved in the restitution of a vast array of works. From the summer of 2020 to the end of 2021, at least 700 pieces have been returned to 14 different countries, including Cambodia, India, Pakistan, Egypt, Iraq, Greece and Italy.
In 2021, American collector Michael Steinhardt returned about 180 antiquities stolen from around the world in recent decades as part of a deal with the government.
The pieces had a total value of $70 million.
The agreement between the US judicial system and Steinhardt, 80, allowed him to escape an indictment but prohibits him from acquiring works on the legal art market for the rest of his life.
Angkor, which at 400 square kilometers (154 square miles) is the largest archaeological site in the world, was the capital of the Khmer empire, which lasted from the ninth to 14th centuries.
The site, which recently reopened to tourists after a two-year pandemic-induced closure, was designated as a Unesco World Heritage Site in 1992. – AFP | https://www.theborneopost.com/2022/08/09/us-returns-30-stolen-antique-artworks-to-cambodia/ | 2022-08-09T03:00:46Z | https://www.theborneopost.com/2022/08/09/us-returns-30-stolen-antique-artworks-to-cambodia/ | false | 10 |

The gaps in the nation's monkeypox response
As if one pandemic weren't enough, the U.S. is now dealing with an outbreak of monkeypox , a smallpox-like virus that causes flu-like symptoms and painful lesions that crop up all over the body. And despite its learned experience from COVID-19, as well as a recent public health emergency declaration , the government's response to the latest disease of note has been criticized as lackluster, confusing , and too little, too late . Though the virus is rarely fatal and there is a vaccine available, monkeypox patients have described feeling alone in their quest to find treatment, or even secure a shot in the first place. Meanwhile, an effective antiviral known as tecovirimat, or TPOXX, is "tied up in red tape," Scientific American reports, prolonging patients' suffering and compounding doctors' woes.
Below, pundits and health experts tackle the pressing, underlying question as it relates to the current outbreak: Where are the gaps in the nation's monkeypox response?
Preparedness and response aren't the same thing
Interestingly enough, the U.S. was ranked No. 1 for pandemic preparedness in the 2021 Global Health Security Index — but that doesn't mean it knows how to respond to an out-of-control virus.
You see, "there is a significant difference between preparedness and response, even though the two are often conflated," mused CNN 's Dr. Sanjay Gupta. But "[p]reparedness alone does not guarantee a rapid response." In the instances of both COVID-19 and now monkeypox, "we were too slow to respond," Gupta continued. "It was as if we [were] sitting in a turbo-charged Ferrari, capable of massive acceleration, but instead only idling in the driveway." There is no doubt that the U.S. is prepared for another pandemic — "[t]he question is will we use all those remarkable resources and respond …?"
And infectious disease epidemiologist Syra Madad agreed: "The fact is that the US, and the world for that matter, is just bad at responding to infectious disease outbreaks," Madad remarked, also for CNN . Our emphasis on preparedness , which Madad describes as "knowing that an outbreak will occur and trying to mitigate or lessen its impact," over prevention , described as "stopping the outbreak from occurring in the first place," is telling. "If I had a jar of coins for the number of times I've heard or read the term 'pandemic preparedness,' I'd be a rich person," she continued.
Letting stigma rule?
At the moment, monkeypox is primarily affecting men who have sex with men, though if only for the closeness of the community rather than any sort of predisposition. In fact, health officials have taken care to stress that the virus can spread to anyone in close, skin-to-skin contact with an infected individual — not just members of this or that demographic. And yet "we've seen homophobic conspiracy theories spread almost more quickly than the virus itself," argued Washington Post columnist Katrina vanden Heuvel. The pattern harkens back to epidemics past: "Viruses begin in a vulnerable population that people in power don't feel is worthy of their attention and care. Infected people are stigmatized and their suffering is ignored, allowing the virus to spread."
"Then, only once it's affecting broader populations — and thus impossible to contain — do those in power take action," vanden Heuvel continued, citing cholera, tuberculosis, and HIV/AIDS as examples. "Even COVID-19 was exacerbated by racist scapegoating," she continued. Ultimately, "[a]ny effective response to an epidemic" — such as monkeypox — "has to begin with leaders stoking compassion and action, not fear or indifference."
Reorganize the CDC
If we, for lack of trying, allow monkeypox into the United State's rolodex of endemic diseases, "it will be one of the worst public health failures in modern times not only because of the pain and peril of the disease but also because it was so avoidable," former FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb wrote for The New York Times . Still, it's imperative we understand that "systemic failings" also fall on the bureaucratic agencies whose job it is to guide the nation through dilemmas of public health — i.e. the CDC.
"The CDC should lead America's response to viral emergencies," Gottlieb continued. "But the agency isn't a crisis organization." It lacks the infrastructure to respond quickly, but Congress won't "take meaningful action" to change that. In the future, the Biden administration must "get the CDC back to its disease control roots, by transferring some of its disease prevention work to other agencies." The CDC would then be free to focus on outbreak control, which could make all the more difference if and when another dangerous virus knocks on our door.
Scrutinize the treatments
Monkeypox has spread to the point that "experts now fear it's no longer possible to keep the disease from becoming endemic among men who have sex with men," wrote Bloomberg health care columnist Lisa Jarvis. This therefore increases the urgency of "understanding whether tecovirimat — an antiviral treatment approved for smallpox — works to speed recovery from monkeypox," as well as its unexpected side effects, if any.
But "the CDC is still not collecting data that could definitively demonstrate whether the drug actually works," Jarvis continued. And a "well-designed clinical trial" could reveal a lot about efficacy, as well as make it easier for doctors to access and prescribe tecovirimat, which currently requires medical professionals to submit a cumbersome "investigational new drug" application.
"Monkeypox might not pose a COVID-level threat," Jarvis concluded, "but the expansion of cases and the need to ease patients' suffering calls for the same urgency in mobilizing studies." | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2694285014689/the-gaps-in-the-nation-s-monkeypox-response | 2022-08-09T03:10:50Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2694285014689/the-gaps-in-the-nation-s-monkeypox-response | true | 3 |

THE Victorian Greens have launched their Upper House ticket ahead of the November 26 state election.
Castlemaine resident Dr Cate Sinclair has been officially confirmed as the party's candidate for the Northern Region during a launch of the party's Upper House ticket.

Dr Sinclair is an occupational therapist and health researcher who has spent more than 30 years working with children and families.
Dr Sinclair represented the Australian Greens at this year's federal election in the seat of Bendigo, recording more than 14 per cent of the primary vote and a three per cent swing.
Leader of the Victorian Greens, Samantha Ratnam, said the party hoped to build on federal momentum and increase their representation in Victoria's Upper House where the government will not hold a majority and the Greens could hold the balance of power.

"If the will of voters had been reflected in 2018, the Greens would have at least four Upper House MPs right now. Yet sadly our broken voting system sees the will of voters distorted through dodgy preference whispering.
"This year we're hoping to build on the momentum of the Federal Election, where Victorians voted for the Greens in record numbers, and increase our representation in the Upper House so we can hold the balance of power."
In the 2018 state election, the Greens received more than 10 per cent of the primary vote in the Upper House, but only saw one MP elected to the Upper House.
The Greens hope to build on the success of their vote in the federal election to at least double or triple their numbers in the Upper House.

PALMDALE, Calif. (AP) — A man who forced his way into a Southern California home shot a woman with her own gun and then held her young daughter at gunpoint before surrendering to police, authorities said Monday.
Erin Mauldin, 34, was arrested Sunday after he heeded orders to put down the gun in Palmdale, north of Los Angeles, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
He was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon and kidnapping. He was jailed on $1 billion bail and it wasn't immediately whether he had an attorney to speak for him.
The woman was entering her apartment at about 10:30 p.m. Sunday when the man asked if he could enter because someone was chasing him, according to the Sheriff's Department.
When she refused, he forced his way inside and tried to attack her with a hammer, authorities said.
The woman ran into her bedroom and got a gun but the man overpowered her, took the weapon and shot her, authorities said.
The woman apparently received only a flesh wound, a neighbor who identified herself only as Destiny told KABC-TV.
“Once he shot her, he dragged her out the house and that’s how she got downstairs,” she said. “Once she got downstairs, she was able to get away from him.”
After the shooting, the gunman took the woman's approximately 10-year-old daughter hostage, running down the street chased by her father, authorities said.
The father backed off when the man pointed the gun at him, and when deputies arrived the man held a gun to her head before obeying orders to drop the weapon, authorities said.
The girl's mother was hospitalized in stable condition.
Deputies said it doesn't appear the man knew the victim. | https://www.theheraldreview.com/news/article/Man-shoots-woman-with-own-gun-takes-child-hostage-17360576.php | 2022-08-09T03:18:24Z | https://www.theheraldreview.com/news/article/Man-shoots-woman-with-own-gun-takes-child-hostage-17360576.php | true | 14 |
«We have studied the whole degree together, supporting each other. And we ask to defend the TFG [Trabajo Final de Grado] the same morning for the convenience of our family and because we do everything together”, Ada and Luna Valero Alfaro, twin sisters, told us yesterday about the recent day in which they finished their degree in Business Administration and Management (ADE) at the same time the Polytechnic University of Cartagena (UPCT).
The synchrony of these students has been constant. “We both wanted the same thing: study Business Administration, work in the business world and start a business together,” Luna explained.
The similarity of their tastes extends beyond academia and encompasses clothing. They share a wardrobe and sometimes dress identically. “Some teachers find it difficult to differentiate us,” they acknowledge humorously. And at the University they hurried to clarify that this is “a circumstance that they have not needed to take advantage of, since both have passed all the subjects” of the degree on the first try.
The Valero Alfaro sisters have done business internships in consultancies, their work has been directed by the same professor, David Cegarra, and deals with human resources. They will specialize in this subject while certifying their level of English. Hence, they have completed the so-called bilingual itinerary offered by the Faculty of Business Sciences.
Human Resources
In her Final Degree Project, Ada analyzed, through interviews with their Human Resources managers, how two real companies value and measure the satisfaction, commitment and performance of their workers. And Luna explored how the Covid-19 pandemic has changed or accentuated trends in human capital management, such as “the use of digital platforms to outsource tasks, flexible hours, job rotation and the inclusion of diversity” .

Legislation Proposed On PA Hospital Acquisitions
HARRISBURG – Legislation is being proposed by some Chester County lawmakers to require approval from the Department of Health before a hospital or hospital system can be purchased in PA. A press conference was held at the former Brandywine Hospital in Coatesville which was one of two Chester County hospitals closed by Tower Health after a proposed sale was called off. The proposal would require the Department of Health to review applications, hold public hearings, and prepare impact statements on the effect of the buying and selling of health care services that the hospital or hospital system is providing. It would also require price transparency so that patients have full access to the costs of items and services provided. The Brandywine and Jennersville Hospitals had provided quality community-based health care, emergency services, and behavioral health care along with good paying jobs. The two Chester County hospitals saw over 34,000 patients in their emergency rooms in 2020. The closures have also increased ambulance dispatch times, further lengthening 911 response times across the region. The legislation was introduced as House Bill 2704 in the PA House with a Senate version being drafted.

Parents must fill out new paperwork for students to get free or reduced lunch
The Keep Kids Fed Act, which was signed into law this year, helps communities provide food for children in school.
The federal program is designed to help schools streamline their meal operations and increase the reimbursement rate for school lunch and breakfast. Schools will receive an additional $.40 for each lunch served.
Parents whose students do not attend a CEP (Community Eligibility Provision) school will need to fill out forms to see if they qualify for free or reduced lunch. In Hillsborough County, the link for the form is here.
All children in homes receiving SNAP benefits are eligible, regardless of income.
"There are a lot of kids out there who are eligible for free or reduced lunch who just never turn in the paperwork," Matt Spence, Chief Programs Officer at Feeding Tampa Bay, said. "The thing is, it's not just for your child. But if enough kids at a particular school fill that paperwork out, we get what's called Community Eligibility, so the entire school becomes eligible for free lunch. And that is a game changer. And that makes a huge difference."
More information by county:
In Polk , Citrus and Highlands counties, all school lunches are free. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2694259334885/parents-must-fill-out-new-paperwork-for-students-to-get-free-or-reduced-lunch | 2022-08-09T03:54:53Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2694259334885/parents-must-fill-out-new-paperwork-for-students-to-get-free-or-reduced-lunch | true | 2 |
Commonwealth Games chief looks to bright, 'edgy' future
New feature: Check out news exactly for YOU ➡️ find “Recommended for you” block and enjoy!
The Commonwealth Games must be "modern and edgy" to stay relevant to a young audience, according to federation chief Katie Sadleir, who praised 2022 host city Birmingham for an "outstanding job".
The 57-year-old former synchronised swimmer said the Games must show how "they are different and individual" from other events in a cluttered sporting calendar.
The 2022 Games, featuring competitors from 72 nations and territories, many of which are former British colonies, came to an end on Monday, with Australia top of the medals table.
Sadleir, the Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) chief executive, said ticket sales in the Midlands city were close to matching those of Melbourne in 2006 and the Games had run smoothly despite numerous obstacles.
Birmingham stepped in to organise the Games at relatively short notice after Durban, in South Africa, was forced to pull out due to a number of issues including financial problems.
The city also faced the huge hurdle of coronavirus but succeeded in putting on an event that created a real buzz.
The 2026 Games, to be held in the Australian state of Victoria, will be spread over four hubs -- Ballarat, Bendigo, Geelong and Gippsland -- rather than centred on one city.
Sadleir hopes that will serve as a model for future events, offering potential bidders more flexibility.
A CGF "roadmap" for the future was rolled out in October, a month before Sadleir took up her role after five years as general manager of women's rugby at World Rugby.
In future, hosts will be able to feature sports that are relevant to their country, with swimming and athletics the only mandatory events.
"A flexible sports programme brings in sports that are important to you (the host)," said Sadleir.
"Lets look at them being modern and edgy rather than the traditional ones and strike a good balance for the future."
'Relevant'
Sadleir said part of her probation period was "to get 2026 over the line", which was a huge relief.
"Victoria is a kind of model that works for regions or countries. That is kind of exciting."
The Australian state has made it clear it wants more than a sporting legacy from the Games.
"Victoria believes in how sport can transform the social and economic issues they are facing," she said.
"The Victoria government has made a huge commitment to investing in a social housing programme. That will be the legacy."
Such a model could open the way for African nations to co-host the Games, perhaps as early as 2034.
Canada's Hamilton is in the running for the centenary Games in 2030, along with two or three other interested parties.
"At a sports ministers' conference pre-Games lots of African countries were saying 'When is it our turn?'" said Sadleir.
"In terms of a regional-based Games I think we can sit down with African countries who are really keen to explore that and set up a feasibility study.
"We could see which countries -- say two or three together -- are best placed to host one and that is really exciting.
"We could sit down with development banks and talk about government structure and think long term about their sports policy.
"An African Games could be in play for 2034 or 2038, why not?"
Scotland-born Sadleir, who competed for New Zealand at the 1984 Olympics and won a bronze medal at the 1986 Commonwealth Games, said it was crucial to avoid "going stale".
"We need to move with the times and look at the fact that 60 percent of the 2.5 billion people in the Commonwealth are 29 or under," she said.
"We have got to be open to innovation and change and make things attractive to young people.
"We do want to be edgy and open to test stuff."
But she is adamant the Games are in a healthy state despite the frequent charge that the event is a quirky sporting relic.
"People ask, 'Is the Commonwealth movement dead?'" she said. "Well, to me it does not seem to be.
"Look at ticket sales, look who is showing up here, Victoria came on board very quickly for 2026.
"It is very much relevant, absolutely. As one says, it is never over until it is over."

Despite public concerns about the risk of crashes should cyclists be allowed to return to Crown Street Mall, statistics show it's bike riders who tend to come off worse.
Last month Wollongong City Council said it was considering a trial period where cyclists would be allowed into the mall - at present they are banned.

This prompted a wave of opposition from people saying the cyclists would cause accidents and that the council would have to have an ambulance on standby at both ends of the mall.
However, Transport for NSW data on accidents involving cyclists recorded by NSW Police show its the bike riders who normally come away with the scratches and bruises - or are even killed.
According to Transport for NSW in the five-year period 2016-2020, in the Wollongong LGA there were 165 crashes involving a cyclist.
Of those 89 also involved a car and two involved a pedestrian.
There were two deaths in those 89 accidents - both of which were cyclists.
The crashes resulted in 173 people injured, 94 per cent of those were cyclists.
Of those 88 people suffered what were considered serious injuries. Again, the vast majority - a whopping 97 per cent - were cyclists.
Just one pedestrian was seriously injured.
In 2021 data, there were 24 crashes reported resulting in 25 people being injured - all of whom were cyclists.
Wollongong Deputy Lord Mayor Tania Brown said any trial of cyclists in the mall was not set in stone and agreed that pedestrian safety needed to be factored in.
"There will be community consultation before we do anything," Cr Brown said.
"But I think those safety concerns are valid. We do need to find a way to navigate safely through the mall - and whether it's even a wise course of action."
She said various options, including a dedicated cycling lane, had been looked at, but she felt it would require a "behavioural change" on both sides were it to succeed.
"Pedestrians need to be aware of what's happening happening around them - and it would need to be speed-limited," she said.
"I worry that the cyclists would go a bit fast."

Best Bites and Sips is a roundup of the outstanding dishes we had within the last week: Those which renewed our love for established venues, caught our attention at a new opening, or freshly impressed upon us the creativity and skill of Hong Kong’s talented chefs and mixologists. From casual street snacks to meticulously prepared cocktail creations, these are the best dishes and drinks to try in Hong Kong — the ones we’d recommend you make a special trip for.
The best dishes and drinks we supped on and savoured this week:
The Bites:
Morton’s The Steakhouse
The dish: Bacon & Onion Macaroni Cheese (HK$180)
I must make a disclaimer: this Best Bite entry is not dedicated to the beautiful bovine cut as you’d typically expect when one makes a mention of reputed steakhouse, Morton’s. No I’m sorry to say, while the steaks were amazing — sample the newly added whiskey-infused ribeye the next time you find yourself within its elegant dining room — the humble side of mac & cheese outshone them all. Now, macaroni and cheese is no groundbreaking make, it’s a common steakhouse usual that many likely leave forgotten on the side, with silent reminders “not fill up on carbs”. But you should most definitely make an exception for this one. Morton’s is a quintessential make: the gooey cheddar cheese pull; the crackly baked crust; and piping hot macaroni that somehow manages an al dente bite. Surprisingly, it never felt too heavy either — even if you go back for doubles — the cheesiness cleverly cut with onion and bacon bites sprinkled within. This one is not merely a side. It’s a glorious part of the mains that you can afford to forget. — Lorria Sahmet, Editor
Morton’s The Steakhouse, 4/F, The Sheraton Hotel Hong Kong, 20 Nathan Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, Hong Kong, +852 2732 2343
Tangram
The dish: Hokkaido Scallop Skewers (HK$108)
Newly opened in the AKI Hong Kong MGallery — just across the street from the Lifestyle Asia headquarters — is Tangram, a comfortable, minimalist restaurant that serves small plates with a Japanese influence. The restaurant calls this kind of food “Japas” for Japanese tapas — which btw, love the concept. If you love to drink, it also offers a full list of exclusive sake cocktails and over 60 types of premium sake.
During my evening at Tangram, I sampled a number of dishes, but nothing came close to the Hokkaido Scallop Skewers. I mean, under normal circumstances, scallops are already bomb — given they are fresh, of course — but in Tangram’s case they come with a variation of the ginger scallion sauce that is normally served with Chinese poached chicken. And for me, that sauce is just the cherry on top. Not only does it elevate the scallops, but it’s also a smart play on a classic Hong Kong dish… and I love a restaurant that pays homage to the local culture. — Charmaine Ng, Editor
Tangram, 2/F, AKI Hong Kong MGallery, 239 Jaffe Road, Wan Chai, Hong Kong, +852 2121 5021
The Sips:
Takara
The drink: Mio Dry Sparkling Sake (HK$68)
Crack open a cold one with the ladies with this Mio Dry Sparkling Sake, infused with fruity sweetness and just the right amount of bubbles to make the stuffy, rainy season just barely bearable when served frozen. Mio Dry is for everyone — particular about packaging and design? Its brushstroke-inspired logo print on the shiny metallic label does it for you. On a budget while maintaining a set of standards? Check the extremely friendly price tag. Here for a tipsy fun time? Just have a cup, or more. — Michelle Chan, Editor
Available at DON DON DONKI, various locations including 1-4/F, 22-36 Paterson Street, Pearl City, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong
The drink: Fizzpresso (HK$45)
I’ve always been a fan of the Hong Kong speciality coffee chain NOC and I recently visited their newly renovated store in Causeway Bay. I knew I had to take a look when I heard that their new design concepts are around sustainability. Floor-to-ceiling glass replaced its original outer walls with a vertical garden indoors, creating a tranquil ambience in the busy area. I picked one of my favourite drinks from the menu — the fizzpresso — to enjoy in this relaxing environment. An ideal bubbly coffee with a dash of espresso to brighten up this rainy season. — Leanne Lam, Social Media Manager
NOC, Shop G23, G/F, Lee Garden Three, 1 Sunning Road, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong +852 3565 4654 | https://www.lifestyleasia.com/hk/food-drink/dining/best-bites-sips-dishes-drinks-we-loved-hong-kong-1-aug-8-aug-2022/ | 2022-08-09T04:06:29Z | https://www.lifestyleasia.com/hk/food-drink/dining/best-bites-sips-dishes-drinks-we-loved-hong-kong-1-aug-8-aug-2022/ | true | 1 |

Russia said Monday it was suspending U.S. on-site inspections under a strategic arms reduction treaty with Washington, pointing to Western sanctions and coronavirus infections.
The Russian foreign ministry said facilities that are subject to inspections under the New START treaty will be "temporarily" exempt from such inspections.
The announcement comes as ties between Russia and the United States unravel over Moscow's intervention in Ukraine and debilitating Western sanctions.
New START is the last remaining arms reduction pact between the former Cold War rivals and caps to 1,550 the number of nuclear warheads that can be deployed by Moscow and Washington.
"Russia is now forced to resort to this measure as a result of Washington's persistent desire to implicitly achieve a restart of inspections on conditions that do not take into account existing realities," the foreign ministry said in a statement.
Moscow also accused Washington of seeking "to create unilateral advantages" and deprive Russia of "the right to carry out inspections on American soil."
The statement indicated it had become hard for Moscow to carry out inspections on American soil due to Western sanctions including the closure of air space for Russian planes and visa restrictions.
Moscow also pointed to a new spike in coronavirus cases in the United States.
"We believe that in the current circumstances, the parties should abandon patently counterproductive attempts to artificially speed up the resumption of START inspection activities and focus on a thorough study of all existing problems in this area," the foreign ministry said.
Last year, the United States and Russia extended New START by the maximum allowed time of five years.
Moscow's announcement came after U.S. President Joe Biden called on Russia and China to demonstrate their commitment to limiting nuclear arms.
Russia should demonstrate its willingness to renew the nuclear arms reduction pact when it expires in 2026, Biden said.
In an emailed comment, a U.S. State Department spokesman said that Washington is committed to the New START treaty, "but we keep discussions between the parties concerning treaty implementation confidential."
"The principles of reciprocity, mutual predictability, and mutual stability will continue to guide the U.S. approach to implementation of the New START Treaty," the official said. | https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2022/08/09/russia-suspends-arms-inspections-under-treaty-with-us-a78533 | 2022-08-09T04:09:02Z | https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2022/08/09/russia-suspends-arms-inspections-under-treaty-with-us-a78533 | true | 5 |

Thompson, Velázquez, Morel power Cubs past Nationals
CHICAGO (AP) — Keegan Thompson pitched six effective innings, rookies Nelson Velázquez and Christopher Morel homered in the third inning, and the Chicago Cubs beat the Washington Nationals 6-3 Monday night.
Thompson (9-5) didn't walk a batter for the second time in three starts while scattering five hits over six innings. Luke Voit hit a homer off Thompson with one out in the sixth to end Thompson's shutout bid.
Thompson has posted a 6-2 record and 2.40 ERA in eight starts at Wrigley Field. Cubs starting pitchers have posted a 2.87 ERA and nine quality starts in 19 games since July 16.
Velázquez's homer highlighted the first three-hit game of his career.
The Cubs (44-64) won for the third time in four games. The Nationals (36-75) dropped their sixth straight game and have been outscored 51-20 during that span.
Anibal Sanchez (0-5) pitched five-plus innings, the longest outing by a Nationals starter during their losing streak. But Sanchez was pulled after surrendering singles to Seiya Suzuki and Patrick Wisdom to start the sixth. Nico Hoerner then hit reliever Steve Cishek's first pitch for a single to center field to score Suzuki.
Sanchez retired the first six batters before Velázquez homered to left against a stiff wind. Following the first of two walks to Nick Madrigal, Morel smacked a two-run shot into the left field bleachers. It was his 10th of the season and his first since July 7 at Dodger Stadium.
Morel, nursing a tight right hamstring, made his second start at third base. He committed a throwing error that placed runners at second and third with two out in the seventh, but reliever Michael Rucker struck out Victor Robles to end the threat.
The Cubs capitalized in the bottom of the inning as Willson Contreras hit an RBI single, and Suzuki hit a sacrifice fly.
That loomed larger as pinch-hitter Joey Meneses hit a two-run homer off Cubs left-handed reliever Brandon Hughes with two out in the eighth. Hughes had allowed one earned run in his 13 previous innings prior to Meneses' homer.
Rowan Wick pitched a scoreless ninth to earn his fifth save in seven chances.
TRANSACTIONS
The Cubs claimed OF Franmil Reyes off waivers from the Guardians with the hope he can regain his power stroke and help a feeble offense. Reyes, 27, hit a career-high 37 home runs with the Padres and Guardians in 2019 and produced 30 homers and 85 RBIs with the Guardians last season. Reyes, however, batted only .213 with nine home runs and 28 RBIs in 70 games before he was optioned to Triple-A Columbus on Aug. 2 and designated for assignment Saturday. "We have him under control for a couple years, and we're lacking in the power department," said Jed Hoyer, Cubs President of Baseball Operations. "For the whole year we've done a good job getting on base, but we've done a poor job of converting that into runs. Some of that is hitting the ball on the ground, some of that is the lack of power." The Cubs rank 10th in the NL with 106 homers.
TRAINER'S ROOM
Cubs: The Cubs are awaiting results of an MRI on RHP Kyle Hendricks (right shoulder strain) that could dictate whether he pitches again this season. "The most important thing for us is he gets healthy for next year," Hoyer said. "I'd love it if he pitches again this year, but I wouldn't want to push anything to do so." Hendricks hasn't pitched since July 5. … LHP Wade Miley (left shoulder strain) is expected to start a minor league rehab assignment later this week, manager David Ross said.
UP NEXT
The Nationals will send RHP Paolo Espino (0-4, 4.20) to the mound Tuesday night against the Cubs. Espino allowed five runs in four innings in a 5-4 loss Thursday to the Phillies. The Cubs will counter with RHP Marcus Stroman (3-5, 4.00), who allowed three runs in 6 2/3 innings Thursday in a 4-3 loss to the Cardinals.

A new Fortnite glitch allows players to jump high in the air and surprise their enemies. The glitch is very effective and can be used to score easy eliminations. However, it takes a bit of practice to pull it off.
This is just one of many glitches that have appeared in the popular video game lately. This was somewhat expected as Epic Games was on summer break for two weeks, so there weren't many people who were able to monitor the situation and release bug fixes.
Fortunately, the developers are coming off their break and will release a big update soon. Until then, players can use the latest glitch to jump high in the air and shock their opponents in Fortnite.
New Fortnite glitch is quite tricky to do
Fortnite characters can jump very high when they are not fatigued, but that's nothing in comparison to what the latest glitch allows them to do. The glitch uses a Zero Point fish to send players high up in the air.
To perform the new Fortnite glitch, players can grab a fishing pole or Harpoon Gun and find a fishing spot. They will then need to catch a Zero Point fish. They should catch at least two or three since they will need some practice before the glitch works.
Once they catch a fish, players need to consume it. They will then gain a special effect that allows players to phase quickly over the island. Under this effect, players need to build a wall and double jump on it. If they do this properly, they will be sent flying high in the air.
The glitch is quite tricky as players need to avoid mantling the wall that they build. To cancel the mantling and avoid the animation, players should hold the shoot button.
How to use new Fortnite glitch and where to practice it
The new Fortnite glitch can be used to either surprise enemies or run away from them. Since players will be launched high in the air, they can easily land on their enemies and hit them with a shotgun. Considering that players will be falling from the sky, this increases their chances of landing a headshot.
The vertical launch in the air isn't very useful if players need to run away from the storm. However, once they consume a Zero Point fish, they will be able to dash forward and move over the island as they fall down.
Finally, the Fortnite glitch can be used to take ground advantage away from enemies. If players have no other way of reaching their enemies or it's too risky to build up to them, they can simply launch themselves in the air and land on them.
The glitch requires a lot of practice since most players will get the mantling animation while trying to perform it.
This is why players should join the Battle Lab, where they can practice glitches without being interrupted by enemies. Once players master the glitch, they can get into a real match and see if they can surprise their opponents with it.
The Zero Point fish was unvaulted during the No Sweat Summer event. It will most likely return to the vault very soon, which is why the glitch won't be in the game for a long time. | https://www.sportskeeda.com/fortnite/fortnite-glitch-allows-players-super-jump-here-s | 2022-08-09T04:31:41Z | https://www.sportskeeda.com/fortnite/fortnite-glitch-allows-players-super-jump-here-s | true | 1 |

The New Apple Watch Is High-Key Worth It — Here’s Why
I’ve always liked the idea of a high-tech wearable; having grown up with movies like Spy Kids and Inspector Gadget, the idea of a mini-computer on my wrist appealed to me in a big way. So naturally, when the Apple Watch first debuted in 2014, I was very intrigued. However, it wasn’t until the brand rolled out the third generation that I got one for myself. Honestly, at the time, it was pretty freakin’ cool; I loved the customization options for the watch face and how sleek and minimal the case was. Sure, the 38mm screen was a bit tiny. But I have small wrists and hands, so navigating things really wasn’t too bad. Mostly, I loved how I could quickly set timers as I cooked, track my workouts, and pay for groceries and subway fares with the tap of a wrist.

When the victim opened the door, McGuire forced his way into her home with a weapon and grabbed her. The victim was able to free herself from McGuire’s grasp and run to a neighbor’s house to call 911. During the entry, McGuire wore sunglasses, but was identified by the victim as the perpetrator with whom she had just observed at Jewel. Surveillance footage from Jewel was acquired showing McGuire at Jewel shortly before the attack.
As part of today’s sentencing hearing, the State flew in one of McGuire’s previous victim’s from Arizona who testified about the assault she suffered at the hands of the defendant back in 1973.

WASHINGTON (NewsNation) — Under the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, the Internal Revenue Service will spend an extra $79.6 billion over the next 10 years to help the agency dig out of a backlog of unprocessed paper returns, and staff up to take aim at the country’s highest earners.
The act, which is expected to pass the House before going to President Biden’s desk for signature, will add 87,000 new IRS agents to the agency’s roster. It’s expected to help speed up processing refunds that some taxpayers have been waiting as long as 10 months to receive.
Democratic sponsors of the legislation said it’s also aimed at wealthy individuals cheating their taxes, with $46 billion of the $80 billion earmarked for audits.
Ben Wilkerson, a managing attorney at North Mississippi Legal Services, said these audits are sometimes tilted against lower-income earners.
“There’s no rhyme or reason that I can figure out to who gets audited,” he said.
Wilkerson has helped hundreds of low-income families impacted by IRS audits. He said going after these individuals is less work and gets done quicker — while wealthier filers have the resources to fight the agency.
A recent study from Syracuse University found the poorest families were audited at a rate five times higher than everyone else.
That figure is compared to just the 2% of millionaires who were audited in 2021.
Syracuse professor Susan Long said the Inflation Reduction Act may give the agency the manpower it needs to change that practice.
“It is really revolutionary,” she said. “Because year after year, IRS has been starved for resources but has been given more and more duties as we have seen and carry out things. You know, it takes steps; that’s the way the world goes round.”
IRS Commissioner Charles Rettig said in a letter to the Senate last week that resources from the Inflation Reduction Act “are absolutely not about increasing audit scrutiny on small businesses or middle-income Americans.” Instead, it will bring the IRS “back to historical norms in areas of challenge for the agency,”
Funds received will also go toward “employees and IT systems that will allow us to better serve all taxpayers,” Rettig wrote. | https://www.woodtv.com/news/nexstar-media-wire/what-an-80b-funding-boost-to-the-irs-could-mean-for-taxpayers/ | 2022-08-09T04:48:33Z | https://www.woodtv.com/news/nexstar-media-wire/what-an-80b-funding-boost-to-the-irs-could-mean-for-taxpayers/ | false | 30 |
Dominion Energy (D) Meets Q2 Earnings Estimates
Dominion Energy (D) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.77 per share, in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate. This compares to earnings of $0.76 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.
A quarter ago, it was expected that this energy company would post earnings of $1.19 per share when it actually produced earnings of $1.18, delivering a surprise of -0.84%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates just once.
Dominion Energy
The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.
Dominion Energy shares have added about 5.1% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's decline of -13%.
What's Next for Dominion Energy?
While Dominion Energy has outperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Dominion Energy: mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $1.16 on $4.05 billion in revenues for the coming quarter and $4.11 on $15.95 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Utility - Electric Power is currently in the top 30% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.
One other stock from the same industry, Algonquin Power & Utilities (AQN), is yet to report results for the quarter ended June 2022. The results are expected to be released on August 11.
This utility operator is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.15 per share in its upcoming report, which represents no change from the year-ago quarter. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.
Algonquin Power & Utilities' revenues are expected to be $605.79 million, up 14.8% from the year-ago quarter.

American Student Assistance and Jobs for the Future report calls for closing the gap between interest in and willingness to pursue non-degree pathways as key to addressing the nation's talent pipeline shortage
BOSTON, Aug. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Employers are increasingly finding value in looking beyond traditional degrees to identify and hire best-fit candidates, but more than one-third of teens believe hiring managers and companies still favor a college education, according to a national survey commissioned by American Student Assistance® (ASA), a national nonprofit changing the way middle and high schoolers learn about careers and navigate education-to-career opportunities, and Jobs for the Future (JFF), a national nonprofit that drives transformation in the American workforce and education systems.
The new research, conducted by Morning Consult, consisted of interviews and baseline surveys of 1,500 Gen Z teens and more than 600 employers, to understand current familiarity with and perceptions of non-degree postsecondary pathways. The key findings of the survey are part of a new report, "Degrees of Risk: What Gen Z and Employers Think About Education-to-Career Pathways…and How Those Views are Changing."
"The four-year college degree is clearly not the only path to success. Encouraging students to pursue that route without considering all their options is outdated and is increasingly out of step with the demands of a new generation of young people hungry for skills, opportunities, and a career journey that offers financial freedom on their own terms," said Jean Eddy, president and CEO of ASA. "That's why ASA is collaborating with JFF on this important initiative to increase awareness, understanding, and acceptance of non-degree learning opportunities."
According to the report, both students and employers say that non-degree pathways can be high-quality learning opportunities, but both groups believe that they need more information to better understand the full range of options and their quality, including non-traditional degrees and other credentials.
While both groups also agree that proof of skills should be prioritized over degrees, the survey found a gap between understanding the options and willingness to participate in or take action on non-degree options. Gen Z teens and employers are both apprehensive about making the wrong choice, either in the pathway they pursue or candidates they hire. They don't understand the options for non-degree credentials and the value they provide, and believe the risk is too great to diverge from the known entity of a degree.
"This research underscores that despite shifting attitudes about college–declining enrollment, a desire for more flexible pathways, and a trend toward skill-based hiring–there is still difficult and important work ahead to ensure that students understand the full breadth of options available to them, and employers can have the confidence to hire workers without a college degree," said Maria Flynn, president and CEO of JFF.
Key findings from the study include:
- Skills-Based Hiring Gains Traction. Both employers and Gen Z rank skills as the most important consideration in choosing an education or training program: 74% of Gen Z want to earn skills that will lead to a good job and 81% of employers believe they should look at skills rather than degrees when hiring. More than two-thirds (68%) of employers say they want to hire from non-degree pathways.
- Employers—and Young People—Still Default to Degrees. Even though most employers (72%) don't see a degree as a reliable signal for assessing the skills of a candidate, the majority (52%) still hire from degree programs because they believe it is a less risky choice when hiring. Gen Z students are still defaulting to degree programs because many (37%) believe employers favor degrees.
- Fear of the Unknown. As a result, Gen Z fear there is too much risk associated with choosing the wrong non-degree post secondary path (65%). And 80% of employers want more information on how non-degree paths differ.
"Degrees of Risk: What Gen Z and Employers Think About Education-to-Career Pathways…and How Those Views are Changing" offers recommendations for the way forward to expand high-quality postsecondary options for all learners. In addition to the report, a landscape of non-degree pathways and a survey of policymakers and politicians on their perceptions of these nontraditional paths, will be published later this year as part of this research.
JFF and ASA will continue to build a coalition of support for widespread acceptance of quality education-to-career pathways. This will include supporting existing pathway programs and spurring innovation to create new models, working to ensure there is a strong quality-assurance infrastructure, and fostering strong career navigation supports. By connecting ideas, convening partners, and uplifting solutions, we will enable more young people to be well-positioned to make informed, confident choices to achieve success in their chosen career fields, which will ultimately lead to more equitable economic advancement for all.

OSU Extension: Mosquito control can = disease prevention
While most of us think of mosquitoes as an annoyance because of their blood-sucking bite, we often times forget the greatest concern is their ability to transmit disease.
While there are several pesticide options available for controlling mosquitoes, the best solution is to eliminate the population by keeping them from reproducing. Mosquito eggs require moisture in order to hatch, and once they do most species of mosquitoes will only fly up to a few miles from where they hatch. If standing water is avoided or eliminated in the surrounding area there will be few mosquitoes to even be concerned with.
All sources of standing water must be located and eliminated or refreshed weekly. That includes the obvious ones like old tires, kids’ toys, and flower pots as well as the less obvious sites like clogged house spouting or the hollow of a tree stump. Kids’ wading pools and bird baths should be replaced with fresh water weekly. Rain barrels should remain covered at all times. Even an over-irrigated lawn can provide enough standing water to allow mosquito eggs to mature and hatch.
The lifecycle ranges from 10 days to 10 months. While given the right moisture conditions mosquito eggs can hatch only 2 to 3 days after being laid, they can also remain dormant for months and then after being flooded hatch just a few days later. Once hatched the larvae feed on small bits of organic matter in the water and mature into adults 7 to 10 days later. The adults can live for three weeks, laying anywhere from 1 to 400 eggs at a time.
Residual sprays can be effective for homeowners to accomplish short-term relief and control of adult mosquitoes. These sprays can be applied as barrier treatments to tall grasses, weeds, shrubs, fences, playgrounds, residences, or even subdivisions to help reduce the adult populations. These can remain active for several days to several weeks, but factors such as rain, high temperatures or exposure to strong sunlight may reduce their length or activity. Pesticides such as Sevin, naled, pyrethrins and malathion are labeled to be used in these situations.
Inside, most any pesticide sold for the control of flying insects indoors can be effective. These products commonly include pyrethrins or synthetic pyrethroids. Repellents such as DEET can protect people from mosquito bites for one to five hours depending on a variety of factors including perspiration and the number of mosquitoes in the area.
Repelling devices, plants, traps or zappers are seldom effective. Research suggests that bug zappers, electronic or ultrasonic repellent devices and scented or repellent plants are not effective in significantly reducing mosquito populations. Keep in mind, a varied approach is required for effective mosquito control!

Lawn care tips for summer
A well-cared-for lawn enhances the beauty of your home but, unfortunately, also is attractive to grubs. Grubs in our area are usually the larvae of the Japanese beetle, which have a one-year life cycle. Japanese beetle eggs, laid in late July and early August, develop into larvae that feed on grass roots until late October or early November when they hibernate. When the soil warms in the spring, they resume feeding. The grubs’ feeding kills off patches of grass leaving brown spots in the lawn. Animals and birds trying to feed on the grubs may cause additional lawn damage. Eventually, damage from the grubs can kill the lawn. August is the best time to scout for grubs. To be sure you have grubs rather than a weather-related problem, pull back an area of the dead turf. If you see more than 12 grubs in a square foot, it is time to treat. Do not wait until spring when they only feed for a short period of time...get them now while they are actively feeding from mid-August until mid-October. Biological controls of these pests are available although limited and costly. The best plan of attack is to use a treatment specific to grubs. These should be applied only to the affected area, not the entire lawn.
Please note: University of Illinois Extension’s July Home, Yard & Garden Pest Newsletter provides excellent information on scouting and treatment options and further information is available in their “Lawntalk” newsletter. And one final reminder: carefully read and follow the label on any product you use!
Summer lawn mowing
Lawn mowing is more time consuming than any other lawn-care practice. Regular mowing with a sharp mower blade at the proper height will help keep grass growing vigorously and maintain adequate density. Proper mowing practices contribute to a healthy lawn and minimal weeds, and, if you leave grass clippings on your lawn, contribute
For a typical residential lawn, maintain a height of 3 inches or higher. Taller grass shades out weed seeds and keeps soil cooler. Taller grass means longer roots and greater ability to withstand drought and reach nutrients. Remove no more than 1/3 of the leaf tissue when you mow.
Mowing too short or scalping results in stress to the grass plant. Weak grass plants will take longer to recover. To maintain a 3-inch lawn, mow before the grass reaches 4.5 inches tall. Mowing too short can allow weed seeds to get more sun and increase the chance of germination.
Finally, leave your clippings on the lawn. Decomposed clippings add the equivalent of one fertilizer application to your lawn each year. Decomposed clippings improve soil quality and minimize runoff.

Top-ranked and defending champion Daniil Medvedev wasn’t bothered by the frustrating delays due to rain at the National Bank Open.
It’s one of the perks of his top ranking in men’s singles. Medvedev received a first-round bye as a top seed and likely won’t play his opening match until Wednesday.
“I will have two good days of practice and after I’ll start the tournament,” he said.
“Of course, I’m very hungry for victories.” While many of his ATP Tour peers were stuck waiting to see when the rain would let up, the confident Russian star was able to relax knowing he only had to tinker with his training schedule.

Medvedev held court with reporters during a 15-minute availability before continuing preparations for his title defense.
He enters the competition on a roll after winning in Mexico over the weekend. Medvedev didn’t lose a set at the tournament en route to claiming his 14th career ATP-level crown.
“Feeling 100% physically (and I’m) mentally ready,” Medvedev said.
“Really happy with Los Cabos for sure with the title. Looking forward to here, trying to get some good matches.” Medvedev, who competes under a neutral flag, could face Australia’s Nick Kyrgios in the second round. Kyrgios, who jumped 26 spots to No. 37 in this week’s rankings following a victory at the Citi Open, was scheduled to open against Argentina’s Sebastian Baez.
World No. 9 Felix Auger-Aliassime of Montreal is one of many young stars who are seeded for the $6.53 million tournament. Others include Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz, Stefanos Tsitsipas of Greece, Norway’s Casper Ruud and Italy’s Jannik Sinner.
Rafael Nadal withdrew on the eve of the tournament due to an abdominal injury. The rest of the so-called Big Three — Roger Federer (knee) and Novak Djokovic (unvaccinated) — were also absent.
“It doesn’t change much if they’re here or not because my goal is to win the tournament,” Medvedev said.
“So no matter who I play … if it’s going to be a qualifier or wild card, lucky loser, second seed, I just want to win the match.” Finland’s Emil Ruusuvuori defeated Switzerland’s Stan Wawrinka 6-3, 3-6, 6-3 in a match that began four hours after its originally scheduled start time Monday.
In other early matches, American Jenson Brooksby beat Alexander Bublik of Kazakhstan 6-2, 6-3 and Russia’s Karen Khachanov topped Argentina’s Francisco Cerundolo 7-6 (4), 5-7, 6-3. Alex Molcan of Slovakia defeated American Mackenzie McDonald 7-6 (1), 6-4.
Rain returned later Monday and forced the suspension of all evening matches.
Australia’s Alex de Minaur had a 7-5, 6-6 lead on Canada’s Denis Shapovalov when the rain began They had split the first six points of the tiebreaker.
Auger-Aliassime has a first-round bye as the No. 6 seed and likely won’t play his opening match until Wednesday. Pospisil was slated to play his opening doubles match with Sinner on Monday, but it was rescheduled.
The singles field includes 41 of the top 44 players in the men’s rankings.
Robert Bedard was the last Canadian to win this tournament, taking the 1958 title in Vancouver.

Letters: Not impressed by the list of applicants for city manager
Regarding "See who applied to be city manager" (July 29): I was not impressed by the list of applicants for the city manager post and I’m fairly sure that I know why.
The city is required to release the list and the list will be published. If you were a successful city manager, not one who had recently been fired, would you be willing to risk your boss learning that you were considering a move? It would be professional suicide. I understand that it’s the law, but it is a bad law.

Climate change is real and it is an unfolding catastrophe
Regarding the July 24 letter to the editor, "Is weather really the worst it's ever been?": The letter misleadingly uses a top 10 list from the Kentucky National Weather Service website to argue that climate change is not so bad as to require drastic action. The author ignores other relevant information.
The article argues against taking “drastic action” to save the environment. The author points out that Kentucky’s the National Weather Service website provides a list of the top 10 heat events, and that the three hottest events occurred before 1940.
This is a completely misleading statistic. While it is true that the top three heat events occurred before 1940, out of the remaining seven events, six occurred after 1950.
Furthermore, the site lists a top 25 of overall worst weather events. This list includes floods, tornadoes and ice storms. Out of the 25 worst events, 16 occurred after 1950.
The weather really is getting worse. The larger point should be: What sources do we use to evaluate the seriousness of climate change? The most legitimate sources rely on peer reviewed research, like the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or the Union of Concerned Scientists. These sources send a clear message.
Climate change is real and it is an unfolding catastrophe. Drastic action is indeed called for.

- An innovative European project to process and recycle plastic textile waste
- A partnership to reach the objectives set by the European Union in reducing CO2 emissions by 2030
- A unique consortium rallying 16 public and private European organizations working together for more circular economy
Regulatory News:
Carbios (Euronext Growth Paris: ALCRB) (Paris:ALCRB), a pioneer in the development of enzymatic solutions dedicated to the end-of-life of plastic and textile polymers, joined WhiteCycle, a project coordinated by Michelin, which was launched in July 2022. Its main goal is to develop a circular solution to convert complex1 waste containing textile made of plastic into products with high added value. Co-funded by Horizon Europe, the European Union's research and innovation program, this unprecedented public/private European partnership includes 16 organizations and will run for four years.
WhiteCycle envisions that by 2030 the uptake and deployment of its circular solution will lead to the annual recycling of more than 2 million tons of the third most widely used plastic in the world, PET2. This project should prevent landfilling or incineration of more than 1.8 million tons of that plastic each year. Also, it should enable reduction of CO2 emissions by around 2 million tons.
Complex waste containing textile (PET) from end-of-life tyres, hoses and multilayer clothes are currently difficult to recycle, but could soon become recyclable thanks to the project outcomes. Raw material from PET plastic waste could go back into creation of high-performance products, through a circular and viable value chain.
16 public and private European organizations are combining their scientific and industrial expertises:
- 3 industrial partners (Michelin, Mandals, KORDSA);
- 1 cross-sector partnership (Inditex)
- 2 waste management companies (Synergies TLC, ESTATO);
- 1 intelligent monitoring systems for sorting (IRIS);
- 1 biological recycling SME (Carbios);
- 1 product life cycle analysis company (IPOINT);
- 1 university, expert in FAIR data management (HVL);
- 4 universities, research and technology organizations (PPRIME Université de Poitiers/CNRS, DITF, IFTH, ERASME);
- 1 industry cluster (Axelera);
- 1 project management consulting company (Dynergie).
The consortium will develop new processes required throughout the industrial value chain:
- Innovative sorting technologies, to enable significant increase of the PET plastic content of complex waste streams in order to better process them;
- A pre-treatment for recuperated PET plastic content, followed by a breakthrough recycling enzyme-based process to decompose it into pure monomers in a sustainable way;
- Repolymerization of the recycled monomers into like new plastic;
- Fabrication and quality verification of the new products made of recycled plastic materials
WhiteCycle has a global budget of nearly 9.6 million euros and receives European funding in the amount of nearly 7.1 million euros. The consortium's partners are based in five countries (France, Spain, Germany, Norway and Turkey). Coordinated by Michelin, it has an effective governance system involving a steering committee, an advisory board and a technical support committee.

About Carbios
Established in 2011 by Truffle Capital, Carbios is a green chemistry company, developing biological and innovative processes. Through its unique approach of combining enzymes and plastics, Carbios aims to address new consumer expectations and the challenges of a broad ecological transition by taking up a major challenge of our time: plastic and textile pollution.
Carbios deconstructs any type of PET (the dominant polymer in bottles, trays, textiles made of polyester) into its basic components which can then be reused to produce new PET plastics with equivalent quality to virgin ones. This PET innovation, the first of its kind in the world, was recently recognized in a scientific paper published in front cover of the prestigious journal Nature. Carbios successfully started up its demonstration plant in Clermont-Ferrand in 2021. It has now taken another key step towards the industrialization of its process with the construction of a first-of-a-kind unit in partnership with Indorama Ventures.

We put the Aura Carver Luxe HD Smart Digital Picture Frame to the test to assess its features and functions
When it comes to showing off photos from your phone or social media, it can be frustrating to find specific shots when you want them. A traditional picture frame limits the number of photos you can share and only works with prints. For anyone who wants a better way to display priceless memories, the Aura Carver Luxe HD Smart Digital Picture Frame is a great option.
According to the manufacturer, this innovative frame is easy to set up and makes it simple to share photos directly from your phone. It also advises that the Aura Carver Luxe is easy to operate and delivers gorgeous image quality. We wanted to know if the frame lives up to the company’s claims, so we put it through a multi-step testing process with one of our testers to find out.
Testing the Aura Carver Luxe HD Smart Digital Picture Frame
When we conduct our testing, we test in a real-world setting and analyze all the claims companies make about their products. We work with a group of testers that scrutinize products as well as manufacturers’ claims about them. For the Aura Carver Luxe, our tester looked at its features, controls and smart functions and assessed its appearance.
What is the Aura Carver Luxe HD Smart Digital Picture Frame?
More than a picture frame, the Aura Carver Luxe is a smart device that allows you to transfer photos from your phone to the frame’s internal storage using one of three methods: by sending them through email using a unique email address, uploading them directly from a computer or using the Aura app that’s compatible with both Android and iOS. It has built-in Wi-Fi and storage for tens of thousands of photos.
The Carver Luxe features crisp HD image quality and an 89-degree viewing angle that makes it easy to see photos from just about any position in a room. It can also play videos and audio and has multiple speed settings for photo displays.
In addition to its smart features and gorgeous display, this digital frame comes nicely packaged and boasts a stylish design that anyone would be proud to display on a desk, bookshelf, table or mantle.
Aura Carver Luxe HD Smart Digital Picture Frame price and where to buy
When shopping for the Aura Carver Luxe Digital Picture Frame, you’ll find it for $179.99 at Kohl’s, Macy’s and Home Depot. It costs $179 at Amazon, which also offers the frame with a matte color version for $199.
How to use the Aura Carver Luxe HD Smart Digital Picture Frame
In our testing, we unboxed the Aura Carver Luxe, connected it to Wi-Fi and began to share photos.
Sending or transferring photos to the Aura Carver Luxe is easy. Of the three methods, we determined the Aura app is the best way to send photos to the frame, as it’s easy to set up, responsive and simple to navigate. We loved that you can send a link to add someone to the frame who can then add photos in about a minute.
The frame offers features for customizing your photo displays by choosing a speed setting and cropping photos. However, we found that the cropping function doesn’t always work as promised. You can also set the auto dim so the brightness of the display adjusts to the light setting in the room.
Because the Aura Carver Luxe is compatible with Google Assistant and Alexa, we analyzed the effectiveness of its voice control. While it works sufficiently, obtaining access to the app and selecting photos requires specific commands.
Aura Carver Luxe HD Smart Digital Picture Frame benefits
There are several key benefits to using the Aura Carver Luxe to display photos. In addition to the beautiful HD display, the frame feels well-made and looks great. Versatile speed settings and fast photo sharing are impressive capabilities. For these reasons, this model is a top seller in the digital picture frame class and makes an excellent gift for numerous occasions.
Aura Carver Luxe HD Smart Digital Picture Frame drawbacks
While this smart picture frame has many features that impressed us, we found a few quirks. Although they aren’t deal-breakers for most users, they may be of concern to some.
One of the first drawbacks we noticed is that setting up the functions can be challenging, especially for those who aren’t very tech-savvy. However, the app is straightforward to use.
When we did our testing, we noticed that videos lack the quality of photos displayed on the screen. The touch bar isn’t as well-made as the other components, and the sound quality is adequate but on the tinny side.
Should you get the Aura Carver Luxe HD Smart Digital Picture Frame?
Anyone who loves to showcase photos from their phone will appreciate the capabilities of the Aura Carver Luxe Digital Frame. It’s great for family and friends who live apart, thanks to how easy it is to submit photos in seconds via the Aura app. The impressive features and quality build combined with the appealing packaging make it suitable for gifting for just about any occasion.
Consider other products
While the Aura Carver Luxe HD Smart Digital Picture Frame is a quality, feature-packed model, there are other similar frames worth considering.

Swimmer trapped on remote, rugged stretch of Deschutes River near La Pine prompts warning of dangers
La PINE, Ore. (KTVZ) – A rescue effort was undertaken Sunday afternoon for a man who went swimming in a remote, rugged portion of the Upper Deschutes River and became trapped by the current. He ended up getting out on his own, but still prompted a reminder of the wild and scenic river’s dangers.
La Pine Rural Fire District firefighter-paramedics received word around 2 p.m. of the swimmer in distress who was trapped by the current an a downed tree or log in the river, also known as a “sweeper,” and was struggling to stay above the water, Fire Chief Mike Supkis said.
The 34-year-old was in distress in the river, where he was swimming without any life vest, flotation device or boat and was surprised and caught in the fast current between Pringle Falls and the undeveloped Tetherow landing, the fire chief said.
Deschutes County 911 dispatchers relayed GPS coordinates to an acquaintance on shore who had a cellphone.
The fire district responded with a quick response unit, two paramedic units and a rescue engine with water rescue gear, Supkis said, but could not get within a mile of the remote site by vehicle. The Deschutes County Sheriff’s Search and Rescue team had two other backcountry rescues underway and were unable to assist.
La Pine firefighters hiked in and quickly search both sides of the river, making contact with the man within 90 minutes, Supkis said.
The victim was eventually able to get out on his own, but “was shaken, cold and stranded,” the fire chief said.
Bend Fire crews assisted by activating a technical rescue unit to help if needed. The victim and reporting party both declined treatment or transport. Supkis said, but after a long hike out without footwear, they required Forest Service law enforcement’s help to get back to their vehicle."
"The La Pine Fire District wants to remind all that the Deschutes is a wild and scenic river, with cold water, strong currents, and many natural hazards," Supkis wrote in the conclusion of his news release. "Recreating on this special river needs to be a well-planned and properly equipped venture." | https://ktvz.com/news/accidents-crashes/2022/08/08/swimmer-trapped-on-remote-rugged-stretch-of-deschutes-river-near-la-pine-prompts-warning-of-dangers/ | 2022-08-09T05:14:45Z | https://ktvz.com/news/accidents-crashes/2022/08/08/swimmer-trapped-on-remote-rugged-stretch-of-deschutes-river-near-la-pine-prompts-warning-of-dangers/ | false | 1 |

Former U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Bill Richardson predicted Sunday that U.S. citizens Paul Whelan and Brittney Griner, who are imprisoned in Russia, will be freed in a "two-for-two" prisoner swap with Moscow.
“I’m optimistic. I think she’s going to be free,” Richardson said of WNBA star Griner on ABC’s “This Week.”
“There’s gonna be a prisoner swap, though, and I think it’ll be two-for-two, involving Paul Whelan. We can’t forget him.”
Griner was sentenced last week to nine years in a penal colony for drug possession and smuggling, after pleading guilty to drug possession charges. Whelan, a former U.S. Marine, is three years into a 16-year sentence on spying charges, which he and the U.S. deny.
Richardson dodged questions about whether educator Marc Fogel, who is facing 14 years for drug possession and smuggling, would also be included in swap talks.
“All of these that are wrongfully detained need to come home,” Richardson said.
He added that his foundation, The Richardson Center, is involved in talks about the release of three other Americans held by Russia, but that he was a "catalyst" for what would ultimately be a government-to-government agreement.
The Biden administration reportedly floated a potential prisoner swap last month in which Griner and Whelan would be released in exchange for convicted Russian arms trafficker Viktor Bout. Officials have publicly confirmed that they offered an exchange but have not explicitly said if it involved Bout.
President Biden on Friday said he’s “hopeful” about Griner’s situation, though White House officials declined to say if there were specific developments that led him to feel that way.
Richardson on Sunday commended Biden for considering the exchange with Bout, though he said "I would have done it quietly."
“Our objective should be, despite prisoner exchanges that are not popular, to bring American hostages home. Some of these prisoner exchanges are not good. The optics are not good. But we have to do it sometimes," he said. | https://thedailyripple.org/index.php/component/content/article/122-us-politics/963528-former-us-ambassador-predicts-griner-will-be-released-in-two-for-two-prisoner-swap | 2022-08-09T05:35:57Z | https://thedailyripple.org/index.php/component/content/article/122-us-politics/963528-former-us-ambassador-predicts-griner-will-be-released-in-two-for-two-prisoner-swap | false | 4 |

BEIJING (AP) — Lindsay Mo couldn’t go to her gym after Beijing shut down indoor sports facilities in May because of a coronavirus outbreak. So she started cycling — and soon fell in love with the sport.
“I realized a racing bicycle was quite different than a regular bike," she said. “It’s very fast and exciting, and I couldn’t stop anymore.”
Bicycles have long been a means of transport in China and once outnumbered cars on city streets. Now cycling is increasingly also seen as a sport by an urban middle class that has benefited from China's growth into the world's second largest economy. What began as a niche sport about a decade ago has turned into a mini-boom.
Biking events organized by Beijing cycling club Qiyi tallied about 10,000 participants over the past year, with about 50% of them regulars. Nationwide, at least 20 million people are participating in the sport, according to the Chinese Cycling Association.
The pandemic has played a role, with authorities moving quickly to close non-essential businesses — including gyms — during outbreaks under a strict zero-COVID approach. Cycling, which can be done individually as well as in groups, has largely been free from restrictions that limit gatherings, especially indoors.
Rides organized by cycling clubs or individual cyclists in Beijing take enthusiasts to outlying mountainous areas or by city landmarks including Tiananmen Square.
For cyclist Yang Lan, the sport also provides an escape from the daily hassles of life in the coronavirus era. “With the pandemic ... it seems to be the only way for us to run away from the terrible city life and pace,” she said.
On a recent summer morning, Yang and 14 other cyclists biked along the Baihe River Canyon in rural northern Beijing despite the heat and humidity.
In full cycling gear, they pedaled their racing bicycles hard on both level roads and slopes, sweating through a ride of more than 70 kilometers (45 miles) while enjoying spectacular views.
Pedaling herself forward under her own efforts gives Yang an incomparable pleasure not to be gotten from riding a motorcycle or driving a car.
"It gives you a stronger sense of integration into the natural environment around you, so I find it more interesting,” said Yang, who started cycling in February, in the dead of winter, when she was looking for something new.
The boom in cycling reflects the growing popularity of outdoor activities, said Feng Baozhong, vice president of the Chinese Cycling Association.
“Especially after the pandemic, people have a desire to walk out of rooms and buildings to do sports outdoors," Feng said.
Naturally, the trend has boosted the demand for bicycles.
American bicycle brand Specialized says its Beijing stores' sales rose 20% to 30% from March to June, compared to the same period a year earlier. It would be twice as large an increase if not for a shortage of bike products, said He Dong, who is in charge of the Beijing franchised dealer of Specialized.
China’s bicycle market size stood at 80 billion to 100 billion yuan ($12 billion to $15 billion) in 2021, said Zhou Fuyuan, founder of Magic Cycling, an online bicycle information platform in China. Sales are forecast to reach $16.5 billion by 2026, according to online data published by Research and Markets, a market analysis firm.
Surging demand and global supply chain issues mean those wanting to buy bicycles, particularly beginner or medium-level cyclists, must wait weeks or months to get a new cycle. For every Specialized model sold in Beijing at least 10 customers are waiting for their bikes to arrive, He said.
Some choose to pay more for whatever bicycles are in stock. Joanna Lei doubled her budget and spent 60,000 yuan ($8,900) on her first racing bicycle. She said the money was better spent than on a luxury bag.
“What you are investing in is your own body and a very good workout habit," she said. “I think it’s more valuable than clothes that you wear or handbags that you use.”
People will have more choices for sports and entertainment when the pandemic is over, but Feng says he expects cycling to remain popular because it’s driven by China's growing affluence, growth of the sports industry and increased concern about their health because of COVID-19.
“The pursuit of health will not vanish, so I think there is a good prospect for the sustainability (of cycling),” Feng said.
The sport’s popularity is also a sign of the public’s growing awareness of environmental protection and pursuit of a low-carbon lifestyle.
“Such a lifestyle is probably healthier and is more beneficial to society." Yang said. “I think people now have a good sense of environmental protection and hope to do good for society.”

More heavy rain forecast through Tuesday for Reno, Northern Nevada
Don’t be fooled by the bluebird skies this morning – widespread thunderstorms are set to bring more rain to the Reno area today and tomorrow.
There is a 30 percent chance of thunderstorms in Reno after 2 p.m., with the odds increasing to 40 percent in the evening. Areas further north and east, such as Pyramid Lake and Fernley, have a 60 percent of getting doused.
Some of the storms could produce gusty winds and heavy rain. National Weather Service models forecast that anywhere from one to two inches of rain could fall per hour in some areas.
On Tuesday, there is a 20 percent chance that thunderstorms will roll into Reno by late morning.
The monsoon storms could bring flash flooding threats to areas recently impacted by wildfires. No flash flood warnings have been issued yet.
The storms follow significant rainfall that fell last week. Reno has recorded 1.55 inches of rain so far this month, just shy of the record 1.65 inches recorded in 1965.
The storms have primarily hit the Eastern Sierra and Western Nevada while bypassing the Sierra crest; the Markleeville region saw flooding that destroyed a portion of Highway 89 near town, while South Lake Tahoe has received just .19 inches of rain so far this month.

FEURA BUSH — Tens of thousands of New York families have visited Indian Ladder Farm in upstate Altamont over the years to buy apples fresh from the orchard.
But the limited supply of workers to harvest the crop would be made even more challenging if the state imposes new overtime pay standards on farmers, said 84-year-old Peter Ten Eyck, who oversaw the business for decades before making way for his children to run the operation along the Helderberg Escarpment, the northernmost extremity of the Alleghany Plateau.
CAN’T MAKE IT WORK
Ten Eyck said Indian Ladder has had to import seasonal apple pickers from Jamaica every year through the H2A visa program allowing foreign workers to do agriculture work. But signals from a state farm wage board suggesting the overtime threshold will be gradually dropped to 40 hours a week will likely prompt many of those pickers to go to states where they are assured more work hours will be available to them.
“We can’t find a way to make enough money off the apples to make that work,” Ten Eyck said of the lower threshold for overtime pay.
Ten Eyck was among the farmers who came to the Stanton Farm in Feura Bush Monday to support calls by Rep. Lee Zeldin, R-Long Island, the GOP candidate for governor, Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-Schuylerville, and Assemblyman Chris Tague, R-Schoharie for the proposed lower overtime threshold to be derailed.
DELGADO STANCE
In the upstate region, Zeldin and other Republicans have seized on the overtime proposal as a wedge issue against Democrats such as Gov. Kathy Hochul and Lt. Gov. Antonio Delgado in the Nov. 8 election.
Delgado, before being lieutenant governor to fill the vacancy created by the arrest of his predecessor, Brian Benjamin, on political corruption charges. had argued he was an advocate for farmers and wanted to retain the current overtime threshold. Since joining the Hochul administration, Delgado has kept a low profile on the issue, a fact highlighted by Zeldin and Stefanik.
“Governor Hochul needs to sound off, and if Gov. Hochul is forcing her lieutenant governor to stay silent, shame on both of them,” Zeldin said. “We elect people to lead, to take a stand on the issues that matter most, and quite frankly there’s nothing stopping Kathy Hochul and Antonio Delgado from having a press conference today to stand up for these farmers.”
Stefanik also skewered Hochul, charging the governor is “silencing” Delgado on the farm wage controversy.
Zeldin, Stefanik and Tague all said the Democratic leaders are apparently taking their cues on the issue from their allies in organized labor.
WAGE BOARD
In response, a Hochul spokesman, Justin Henry, said: “Governor Hochul is committed to a fair and reasonable approach on this issue, which is why she launched a statewide listening tour to hear from farmers and farm workers about the challenges they face. We look forward to hearing from members of this community while we await the Farm Laborers Wage Board’s recommendations and a decision from the Department of Labor.”
The wage board is slated to convene Sept.6. Once that board issues its report, Roberta Reardon, the state labor commissioner, will have 45 days to review the document and announce her decision. Reardon was installed in that post by former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, an appointment backed by union leaders, and she has continued as the commissioner under Hochul, whose campaign is heavily backed by New York unions.
The 2022 state budget contained some good news for farmers, with the doubling of an employee tax credit to $1,200 per eligible farm employee with at least 500 hours of labor. But some farmers say they are more interested in keeping the 60-hour wage threshold intact than in getting what amounts to a state subsidy for farm owners.
FARMWORKER OVERTIME
Advocates for the farm workers argue it is unfair to exclude them from the same overtime protections extended to workers in all other industries.
Farmworkers had been excluded from overtime rights under 1938 legislation championed by the late President Franklin Roosevelt “This Jim Crow policy is so baked into farmers’ business plans that they claim they can’t survive without it,” the New York Civil LIberties Union said in a blog post..
But at hearings examining farmworker pay, some migrant workers suggested the net impact on their earnings could be a loss if they were given less work hours as farm owners tried to avoid overtime situations.
A migrant farmworker from Mexico employed at the Stanton Farm, Sergio Navarete, 43, told CNHI he believes farmers will be forced to keep a lid on workers’ hours to remain viable if the overtime threshold goes to 40 hours.
“At 40 hours, you’re going to see a lot of crops just rotting in the field,” Navarete said through an interpreter. “At 60 hours, we can get the crops in for our boss to sell.” | https://www.pressrepublican.com/news/gop-slam-hochul-on-farm-wages/article_669c1faa-1782-11ed-9038-175550a38db1.html | 2022-08-09T05:59:35Z | https://www.pressrepublican.com/news/gop-slam-hochul-on-farm-wages/article_669c1faa-1782-11ed-9038-175550a38db1.html | true | 4 |
Emiliano Messiez Signs to Aliud Records in Europe
Messiez is equally adept in classical, jazz, tango, rock and Latin music.
Aliud Records is proud to announce the signing of pianist/composer Emiliano Messiez to their label. Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina and currently based in New York City, Messiez is one of the most in-demand tango pianists in the US and is a pianist for the Broadway and West End productions of "Forever Tango."
With a versatile and unique style, he is equally adept in classical, jazz, tango, rock and Latin music. A prolific composer, he has written several musicals and is frequently arranging and orchestrating works on commission.
Aliud Records director, Jos Boerland stated, "Signing Emiliano fits perfectly with the label's expansion into the jazz and world music markets. With Emiliano on the roster, we're looking forward to collaborating on a number of projects over the next few years. Our focus is on building a solid relationship with artists who can work across genres and Emiliano fits this bill."
Messiez is honored to work with this highly respected label, based in Europe. He said, "To be selected by Jos Boerland and his team is an honor I value, and I am equally thrilled that my first recording project is with such distinguished artists as Horacio Romo and Pablo Agri. I look forward to this ongoing relationship and am grateful for the opportunity."
The first album under this new contract will be released this coming autumn and will feature the debut album of a new tango trio featuring three of today's best-known proponents of the style, Pablo Agri, Horacio Romo and Emiliano Messiez. Titled "Ahora", this trio album will feature a format that is somewhat unconventional in the tango world. The most famous setting for tango music is the "Orquestas Típicas" often including over a dozen performers however, smaller formats featuring four to six players are also popular. The typical trio format found in tango music consists of piano, bandoneon and double bass. Speaking about the line-up of this trio, pianist Emiliano Messiez explained, "It's not that common to find a trio setting with piano, bandoneon and violin. When we first started to talk about this project, we worried that the bass sound would be obviously missing, but once we started playing, we were very pleased with our sound."
The album contains largely original compositions, written by each of the trio's members. Pablo Agri explained further. "We each contributed two new compositions on the album, Horacio's solo piece is a new composition and the rest of the material we recorded are arrangements of well-known pieces."
For Horacio, Pablo and Emiliano, the tango tradition is very important and the music on this album definitely reflects this. A quick read of the musicians' biographies will show that all three have a long and distinguished history playing traditional tango music. However, this was not the idea behind this trio. Horacio Romo continued, "We didn't want to be a 'traditional' trio just playing traditional tangos. We thought of this project as something different while at the same time we wanted to give due attention to the tradition. We decided that we would play original music - our music - creating a new sound, new music and a new trio".
Ahora will be available on CD and be available for streaming and download in both stereo and immersive formats. More information and release dates will be announced in the coming weeks. | https://www.broadwayworld.com/bwwmusic/article/Emiliano-Messiez-Signs-to-Aliud-Records-in-Europe-20220808 | 2022-08-09T06:01:42Z | https://www.broadwayworld.com/bwwmusic/article/Emiliano-Messiez-Signs-to-Aliud-Records-in-Europe-20220808 | true | 1 |

The Richest Person in Every State
The U.S. is arguably the best place in the world for aspiring business owners to try to strike it rich. Over 700 billionaires are living in America, accounting for more than one-quarter of all billionaires in the world, according to the most recent data from Forbes.
Business owners from all over the country have been able to succeed and become incredibly wealthy - 42 of the 50 states are home to at least one billionaire. Even in the states without billionaires, there are residents worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
To determine the richest person in every state, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed the Forbes list The Richest Billionaire In Every State 2022 . Listed net worths are as of March 2022, except for the seven states that had no billionaires, for which data is for the most recent year available.
The richest people in each state amassed their fortunes in a variety of different ways. The list features billionaires who earned their money in tech, health care, consumer goods, investing, apparel, and much more. Some of the entries are household names, well known for being among the very richest people in the world, while others not as familiar.
Several of the people on this list earned their money in a business synonymous with the state where they live, like agriculture in Iowa, mining in Montana, and oil and gas in Oklahoma. This is the most iconic job in every state.
Though many of the billionaires on this are titans of industry, a large share did nothing to earn their money. Several of them inherited their fortune from a parent or spouse, or took over a family business that has thrived for generations.
