West Ham remain undecided about whether to offer the former Manchester City midfielder a six-month deal worth £80,000 a week with the option of a one-year extension, and are assessing the 31-year-old’s fitness in training as he nears the end of his 18-month doping ban. However Pellegrini is in favour of signing Nasri, who is not eligible to play until 1 January, and does not think the France international is past his best. How Samir Nasri went from being the ‘new Zidane’ to an outcast | Nick Ames Read more “Samir Nasri is a very technical player who always made the difference playing as a midfielder when he is fit,” Pellegrini said. “We are going to give him a hand to try to return. You have seen over the years what he can do. He was an important player not only for me and City but also for Arsenal. What we need is to recover the real Samir Nasri.” Pellegrini knows Nasri from his time at City and is confident it will not take the former France international long to regain sharpness. “If he has no injuries from now until 1 January, when he can play, I think he can be fit without any problems,” the manager said. “The most important thing is not to do it too fast. When you have gone so long without playing, you can have an injury that will delay your return.” Pellegrini dismissed concerns over Marko Arnautovic’s future after the Austrian forward hinted he could be ready to leave West Ham in order to play in the Champions League. Arnautovic is represented by his brother Danijel, who said that the 29-year-old needed to be playing at the highest level during an interview with the Austrian newspaper Kurier last week. Manuel Pellegrini stands tall despite looming shadow of Pep Guardiola Read more “I cannot tell everyone what they must say or what they must not say,” Pellegrini said. “Everyone is the owner of their own words. With Marko, he didn’t say those words to me. He can say what he wants. “I don’t want to continue talking about the words of the brother of the player. I know Marko. I know the way he thinks. I think that every player in every team must have an ambitious mind. But I am sure he is happy here and the best way to do it is to continue having good performances.” West Ham United Samir Nasri Manuel Pellegrini news Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share via Email Share on LinkedIn Share on Pinterest Share on Google+ Share on WhatsApp Share on Messenger Reuse this content
Ryan Christie’s strike sets up Celtic’s easy victory over Accies
how to live healthy and longevity : https://goo.gl/3L1CLn how to learn super speed? https://goo.gl/cPZGKt FIFA's Secret 19: https://goo.gl/FfPqWF The Observer Scottish Premiership Celtic returned from the international break to coast to a 3-0 Scottish Premiership win over Hamilton at the Hope CBD stadium. Midfielder Ryan Christie swept in the opener in the 13th minute to give the visitors the interval lead which belied their superiority. When Accies midfielder Scott Martin’s leg helped a Scott Sinclair header into his own net in the 66th minute the points were secured, leaving Leigh Griffiths to come off the bench and drill in a third from a free-kick. Brendan Rodgers’ side will now turn to Rosenborg in Trondheim on Thursday night where they will look for the win to keep Europa League Group B hopes alive, before they face Aberdeen in the League Cup final at Hampden Park next Sunday afternoon. They will know they will be tested more in both games than they were in Lanarkshire where the gulf in class between the two sides was evident all afternoon. Celtic, with keeper Craig Gordon, defender Filip Benkovic and midfielder Olivier Ntcham back in the side, dominated the game from the first whistle. There was an early shout for a Celtic penalty when French striker Odsonne Edouard’s cross from near the byline struck the arm of Matt Kilgallon as the Accies defender tried to get off the ground inside the penalty area, but referee Don Robertson was unimpressed. Moments later, Christie drove wide of the target from the edge of the Hamilton box and it was all very comfortable for the fluid and inventive visitors. The first goal came from a well-worked corner, midfielder Callum McGregor playing a one-two with Edouard before cutting the ball back for Christie to sweep the ball high past Accies keeper Gary Woods from 10 yards for his fourth goal of the season. In the 28th minute the Hamilton rearguard was sliced open by Ntcham’s incisive through ball but Woods blocked Sinclair’s all-too-casual finish for a corner which came to nothing. The champions kept probing while Accies kept chasing. In the 35th minute Edouard’s deflected drive from inside the box missed the Hamilton goal by inches and then Hamilton defender Ziggy Gordon blocked a Mikael Lustig strike which was on its way towards goal with Sinclair blazing the loose ball over. The narrow one-goal deficit was Accies’ saving grace at the interval but Ntcham came close to doubling Celtic’s lead with a right-footed drive from 14 yards which hit the side netting. The game drifted through the hour-mark and onwards until Lustig’s cross from the right was headed goalwards by Sinclair from 12 yards with Martin inadvertently redirecting the ball past Woods. Rodgers soon replaced Edouard with Griffiths for his first appearance since October 7 and he fired in a free-kick from 20 yards after Martin had hauled down Sinclair to seal a commanding win for the Parkhead side, who came close to addin
Real Madrid's Vinicius Jr. scores for Castilla, is sent off and misses Clasico
FacebookTwitterFacebook MessengerPinterestEmail Real Madrid's Vinicius Jr. will miss the Clasico against Barcelona later this month after he was sent off for diving moments after scoring a superb goal in Real Madrid Castilla's draw with Celta Vigo B on Sunday. Spanish football regulations mean his suspension covers both senior games and Castilla matches, and he will therefore miss the game at the Camp Nou next weekend. Vinicius, 18 -- who was not part of the senior squad as Madrid suffered a 2-1 home defeat to Levante on Saturday -- had curled home an 83rd-minute free kick to save a point for Castilla. But within two minutes he had been shown a second yellow card after the referee adjudged him to have dived on the edge of the penalty area. Angered by the decision, he gestured to home fans as he made his way off the pitch, pointing to the Real Madrid badge on his shirt.
Usain Bolt offered full-time Central Coast Mariners contract - agent
FacebookTwitterFacebook MessengerPinterestEmail Central Coast Mariners have offered Usain Bolt a full-time playing contract after he impressed during a trial, his agent Ricky Simms has told ESPN. Bolt, 32, netted a double in a practice game last weekend but did not play in the Mariners' 1-1 draw with the Brisbane Roar on Sunday, with News Corp Australia reporting that the eight-time Olympic gold medal-winner was in Melbourne considering his options. However, he has now officially been offered terms by the Mariners, with Simms telling ESPN: "I can confirm Usain has been offered a contract by Central Coast Mariners."Editor's Picks Bolt joins MJ, Pacquiao Usain Bolt's switch to soccer puts him in some very exclusive company. Lightning strikes twice Relive the two goals that Usain Bolt scored on his starting debut for the Mariners. What's it like to face Bolt? Players who have faced Usain Bolt on the football field open up about their experience. Mariners chief executive Shaun Mielekamp reportedly tabled the contract offer with Bolt's management over the weekend and, after the player turned down Valletta FC's two-year offer, he will now consider if he wants to play in the A-League. After the game, Central Coast coach Mike Mulvey did his best to douse speculation of an impending deal for Bolt, openly doubting whether the sprint king is worthy of a starting place. "You have a look at our front line today and you wonder whether he could get into any of those positions, wouldn't you?" Mulvey said. "I do appreciate how important this story is for the rest of the world. You're just talking about speculation, I don't know anything about what you're talking about and that's the honest truth."

Cristiano Ronaldo 8/10 as Juventus fail to jump on chances in Genoa draw
FacebookTwitterFacebook MessengerPinterestEmail For the first time this season, Juventus dropped points and were only capable of a 1-1 draw against Genoa, a side with a new coach and an improved sense of tactical balance. Considering the talent within the Old Lady's squad, Genoa should have been comprehensively defeated but instead, Juventus underestimated the opponent. While the home side opened the scoring and showed of their superiority on the first half, their levels of concentration dropped in the second and Ivan Juric's side exploited the errors effectively, grabbing the equaliser. Juve frantically tried to get the winner but their lack of composure and maturity saw them fail in their mission to continue delivering victories. Positives Considering how poor Juve's attitude was today, the draw will serve to remind them that maximum effort is required in every game. A lesson they hopefully have learnt in time to face Manchester United in Old Trafford midweek. Negatives This defence, especially without Giorgio Chiellini, is susceptible to huge lapses in concentration. Both Leonardo Bonucci and Medhi Benatia are capable of too many errors and do not offer the security they once did. This was not the first match in which we saw both disappoint and they will need to drastically improve and raise their levels of concentration and remain alert throughout the match if they hope to keep clean sheets and ensure safety at the back. This team cannot prove dependent on and ageing Chiellini. Manager rating out of 10 5 -- This was a game Juventus should have won and Massimiliano Allegri should have done more to guarantee greater determination and a show of character. His substitutions did little to change the game while the lack of composure and the inability to manage the game with intellect should raise a few alarm bells. Player ratings (1-10; 10 = best. Players introduced after 70 minutes get no rating) GK Wojciech Szczesny, 6 -- Alert to halt Piatek and stop his compatriot from continuing his goal scoring exploits. Wasn't at fault for Bessa's goal. DF Joao Cancelo, 6 -- Other than Ronaldo, Cancelo was the best on the field, for the first half at least. He never gave up on an attack, constantly created space for himself, delivered chance after chance to his teammates and spurred Juve on from the wing. Sadly, he disappeared in the second half, his mind elsewhere much like his teammates. DF Leonardo Bonucci, 4 -- Wearing the Captain's armband, the defender who has become susceptible to lapses in concentration and frustrating mistakes in too many games this season was at fault for the equaliser. DF Medhi Benatia, 4 -- What happened to closing down an opponent? Benatia instead offered Kouamé all the time and space to deliver the ball that led to the equaliser. Unforgivable especially when he erred early in the first half, forcing Szczesny into a fine save as he struggled to stop Piatek. DF Alex Sandro, 6 -- He may not be the dynamic presence Cancelo is but h
Tammy Abraham’s goal gives Aston Villa’s Dean Smith the perfect start
The Observer Championship It was not without a jittery finish but for Dean Smith, a boyhood Aston Villa supporter, this was an occasion worth waiting for. In the end, a first-half header by Tammy Abraham, relegated with Swansea City last season, proved the difference as Smith celebrated victory in his first game in charge and Villa their first win in five matches, reinvigorating the promotion push their fans so crave. Not so long ago, the former Brentford manager was one of them. Smith’s father, Ron, would show Sir Doug Ellis to his seat during 25 years working as a steward here, while he and his brother, Dave, would wipe clean the terraces in exchange for a pie and passage into the Holte End. Football League: Leeds continue to slip, Macclesfield avoid unwanted history Read more Smith may have grown up in Great Barr, four miles from this rocking stadium, but he knew he would be afforded no honeymoon period. A charged Villa Park was packed as almost 42,000 supporters, the fourth-biggest crowd in the country on Saturday, welcomed a new era and said farewell to Ellis, the club’s former chairman who died this month. Before the almighty roar that met Smith as he walked out of the tunnel for the first time, the club marked the life president’s death with a stirring minute’s applause as flags on the stand renamed after him flew at half-mast. There was a deafening chorus of the home faithful’s adaptation of Ghost Riders in the Sky, as a teary-eyed and suited Smith received a hero’s welcome. “It’s great to give them the first win, we want to try to get the bums off the seats here,” Smith said. “We are grateful for them all turning up in their numbers and it just shows what can happen at this club. It’s always a good start when you get three points.” Abraham relished his role as the focal point of a three-pronged Villa attack, with the striker ably flanked by two wingmen in Albert Adomah and Ahmed Elmohamady. Swansea struggled to contain a revved-up Villa and on eight minutes, when Elmohamady stood up an inviting cross, Abraham clambered highest to nod home his third goal in as many games. Smith swivelled in the dugout, fist pumping towards the Trinity Road stand where his dad once worked. A dream start almost got better too but neither James Chester nor Alan Hutton could connect with a low, teasing Jack Grealish free-kick. Swansea succumbed to what their manager, Graham Potter, described as a challenging environment for his young side, yet Villa were in the mood, John McGinn boisterous in midfield and Elmohamady enjoying a free rein. They did not have it all their own way, though. Swansea should have restored parity when Connor Roberts galloped down the right before cutting back for Jay Fulton but the midfielder’s effort lacked conviction and Barrie McKay was too sluggish in his attempt to sweep home the rebound. Villa had lost their vim until Abraham came alive in the box on the hour mark, smacking an effort goalwards only for Kristoff

Manchester City hammer Burnley with Leroy Sané adding the finishing touch
how to live healthy and longevity : https://goo.gl/3L1CLn how to learn super speed? https://goo.gl/cPZGKt Child Custody Information & Help For Every Custody Topic: https://goo.gl/N9iLVH The Observer Premier League Raheem Sterling was an unused substitute in this game, granted a rest after rediscovering his scoring touch with England. As it was Manchester City did not need him against opposition as limited as Burnley. With Pep Guardiola sending Kevin De Bruyne and Phil Foden on for cameo appearances in the second half, everyone in blue was happy in the end. The only possible complaint was that City might have won by an even greater margin, such was their total control, though when Riyad Mahrez and Leroy Sané added stylish goals in the closing minutes it hardly seemed to matter. Chelsea’s late leveller against Manchester United sparks touchline chaos around Mourinho Read more “We could have scored more in the first half but in general it was a good performance,” Guardiola said. “It is normal to take a little time to settle after an international break but by the end everyone was at a high level.” Too high for the Clarets. Sergio Agüero went into this game with six goals from six games against Burnley, and it took him only 17 minutes to make it seven in seven. He could have scored much earlier than that but the first time Mahrez arrowed in a diagonal cross from the right after four minutes the striker seemed to lose his bearings and put a free header miles wide. That should have been a warning to Burnley, yet the next time it happened Agüero met Mahrez’s cross with his foot and Joe Hart made a point-blank save. Agüero acknowledged his former teammate’s reactions with a friendly pat on the back, though there was to be no respite for the returning goalkeeper. David Silva and Sané traded passes in the penalty area as they waited for an opening to present itself, and when it did Agüero had no trouble in holding off Charlie Taylor to reach Silva’s cross. City made most headway down the left, where the trickiness of Silva and Sané backed up by Benjamin Mendy breached the Burnley back line with ease. Yet with the visitors rarely crossing the halfway line there was little urgency to the home side’s attacks. Guardiola has often complained his side are not clinical enough when on top, and the City manager was visibly aghast at the end of the first half when Hart kept out Silva’s header and Agüero missed an open goal from the rebound. All Burnley had to offer before the interval was a Jeff Hendrick shot blocked by John Stones, though their most promising opening came in the first minute following a mistake by Aymeric Laporte. Vincent Kompany managed to snuff out the danger with a dangerously high tackle on Aaron Lennon. Starting a league game for the first time since August, the City captain found himself in the book after 35 seconds and was probably lucky to stay on. Cardiff’s Kadeem Harris secures victory against a Fulham in freefall Read more “In the modern game that’s a red,” Sean Dyche, the Burnley manager, said. “He was out of control, Aaron got a cut on his thigh that needed two stitches. But City are a top, top s
