Lots of Manchester City fans have taken to Twitter to react after it was revealed that the Citizens are close to completing the signing of Scott Carson from Derby.

The back-to-back Premier League champions have decided to swoop for the 33-year-old stopper to provide cover for Ederson and Claudio Bravo.

You may be wondering why the Citizens have dipped into the Championship to sign an ageing stopper to provide cover, but it is assumed that the former England international is being signed to boost the homegrown quota – similar to Rob Green’s situation at Chelsea last season, in which he didn’t play a single minute.

Carson had been linked with Nottingham Forest, but now looks set for a remarkable move to Pep Guardiola’s Champions League hopefuls and quadruple winners – it looks set to be one of the most bizarre transfers of the window.

Let’s take a look at how the Manchester City fans reacted to the news on Twitter…

Today is the day of the UEFA Champions League draw and fans around the globe are no doubt excited to see where will their teams end up and who will they face in this historic competition.

But apart from that, UEFA will also announce who was the best player in the world for the 2018/19 season, among some other awards.

The top three contestants are Lionel Messi, Virgil van Dijk and Cristiano Ronaldo but only one can be crowned the best.

Barcelona fans, however, seem to have their favourite pretty much set in stone and they have taken to Twitter to make their voices heard loud and clear.

Of course, loads of them want Messi to win and they have made some compelling arguments as to why that should happen tonight.

Below, you can see a selection of their tweets showing their really strong beliefs that the little Argentine is the one who is supposed to leave the ceremony with the trophy in his hands.

[ad_pod ]What’s the deal with Jesse Lingard?The Manchester United forward hasn’t scored or assisted a single goal in the Premier League since January, but he finds himself in the privileged position of wearing an England shirt. It’s a real headscratcher.Of course, managers have their preferences and favourites, and one thing Gareth Southgate and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer are almost guaranteed from playing the 26-year-old is high pressure and running – two very compatible traits in the modern game.But then you have to ask yourself: at what point is this not enough?Watch Manchester United Live Streams With StreamFootball.tv Below

Lingard has just 17 goals and 12 assists in 115 top-flight games; his best season saw him claim just eight goals and six assists. How exactly does that output equate to international standards? Realistically, it doesn’t.

Let’s consider for a moment the impact of blind loyalty towards Lingard. Leicester City’s James Maddison is just one attacking option we consider more viable than his United counterpart, with 16 direct goal contributions already to his name in the Premier League after just 40 appearances.

Would his England integration have come sooner without Lingard in the picture? How might that affect the oh-so-important bonding stages before major tournaments? You know, the very thing that was lacking during our ‘Golden Generation’ and has since been attributed to their failure.

Mason Mount is another up and coming star, with two goals for Frank Lampard’s Chelsea side in four appearances. Will he now be benched to accommodate Lingard? These are queries that need answering, especially with Euro 2020 on the horizon.

TalkSPORT hosts Perry Groves and Jason Cundy have recently debated the United man’s inclusion in the squad…

According to Sky Sports, Crystal Palace are weighing up making a move for £15m-rated Red Bull Leipzig attacker Jean-Kevin Augustin before Thursday’s deadline, and the Eagles would have another electric attacker in their ranks if Steve Parish is willing to spend.

What’s the word, then?

Sky Sports report that the south London outfit, along with Premier League rivals Aston Villa, are considering bids for the 22-year-old, who the Bundesliga side are willing to sell as long as they recoup the £15m they paid to bring him in from Paris Saint-Germain in 2017.

Sky Sports report that Ligue 1 duo Monaco and Nice are also keen on the France U21 international, who found regular starts hard to come by in Germany last season.

Augustin has scored 20 goals in 67 appearances for Leipzig, enjoying his best spell with the team under the tutelage of current Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl in 2017/18.

Another electric attacker

The young Frenchman may have struggled to feature on a regular basis for his current employers in recent times, but it is hard to ignore the impact he has made.

[ad_pod ]

Take last term for example. The 22-year-old scored three Bundesliga goals in just 452 minutes on the pitch with 13 of his 17 outings coming from the substitutes’ bench, as per WhoScored.

The previous year under Hasenhuttl, he netted nine times and provided a further five assists in 1,253 minutes across 25 outings, only 14 of which were starts.

The France U21 international is clearly a threat in the final third, and there is no doubting his pace and power should he arrive at Selhurst Park, with current teammate Willi Orban once describing him as ‘quick and composed’.

Should Palace keep hold of Wilfried Zaha, those two plus Andros Townsend would have the makings of a potentially exciting and speedy front three in 2019/20 given the current Eagles duo had 29 goal involvements between them last time out.

Have Sky Sports been exposed as liars this summer? Watch the video below to find out why…

However, it ultimately all depends on whether Steve Parish is willing to splash the cash, seeing as Palace’s only additions so far this summer have been Stephen Henderson, Jordan Ayew and Gary Cahill, two of which cost nothing and the other £2.5m.

Even their potential move for Victor Camarasa looks set to be a loan fee with a view to a permanent deal in 2020, as the Eagles look set for a low summer of spending despite receiving an initial £45m for Aaron Wan-Bissaka from Manchester United.

After being tasked with the responsibility of replacing fan favourite Rafa Benitez, Steve Bruce no doubt is going to have a difficult task in bringing the feel-good factor back to Newcastle.

Benitez had etched himself into the club’s folklore by guiding the side back to the Premier League from the Championship and then establishing the Magpies as a solid outfit in the top-flight.

Following a 1-0 defeat in his first league game in charge against Arsenal, Bruce may have fancied his side’s chances against newly-promoted Norwich, who had conceded four against Liverpool.

However, the Magpies fell to a humbling 3-1 loss to Daniel Farke’s side, and it ensured they remained rooted on zero points after their opening two games.

Following their team’s result, Newcastle fans took to Twitter to share their concerns about the club’s situation.

Many supporters of the Tyneside club have already turned on Bruce, requesting for him to be sacked, while others simply fumed at the disappointing start to the season and one fan even alluded to  relegation back to the Championship.

In short, the Toon Army have already gone into meltdown mode – perhaps a little prematurely considering there are 36 games left to play this term.

Check out some of the furious reaction from Newcastle fans below:

Football FanCast’s News articles summarise the biggest stories in world football, based on information from other sources.

Tottenham Hotspur left-back Danny Rose has travelled to Watford’s training ground, per The Athletic’s Watford correspondent Adam Leventhal.

What’s the word?

Spurs have reportedly concluded a deal to sign Ryan Sessegnon from Fulham on transfer deadline day.

And Leventhal has now reported that Rose is at on the premises at the Hornets’ training facility.

The England left-back was omitted from the club’s squad for their pre-season tour of Asia in order to explore the opportunity of a move away.

And it now appears that the Premier League club have registered their interest in signing him.

Leventhal wrote on The Athletic’s transfer blog (August 8th, 15:44): “‪Understand Danny Rose is at TG. That’s all I know at the minute, but I’m guessing it’s not to reminisce about his 2009 loan spell. ‬”

Sky Sports News, however, have claimed that Spurs have rejected a bid for Rose from the Hornets, per their live blog (16:03).

One domino falls

It always felt as though Sessegnon needed to sign for this to happen.

Sources at the club have always maintained that the 19-year-old is seen as the long-term replacement to Rose and that the club wanted to sell the latter before buying the former.

It appears that the opposite has happened, with Sessegnon arriving before Rose’s departure but, with time tight, the dominos may have fallen, with the knock-on effect of the teenager’s arrival being the 29-year-old’s departure.

He has been with the club since 2007, making a total of 198 first-team appearances, but it now looks as though he could be close to ending his 12-year association with the north London outfit.

Watford may simply have to table another offer to make it happen.

This article is part of Football FanCast’s Opinion series, which provides analysis, insight and opinion on any issue within the beautiful game, from Paul Pogba’s haircuts to League Two relegation battles…

Nottingham Forest boss Sabri Lamouchi had a bit of a garage sale on deadline day but came out from it free of deadwood as well as having over £8m in his back pocket.

Daryl Murphy’s contract was terminated which saw him leave for Bolton Wanderers, joining Liam Bridcutt, who had also departed for the recently saved League One outfit earlier in the day but only on loan.

There was also a departure for Jason Cummings for an undisclosed fee.

The Reds did, however, lose one of their promising youngsters, Arvin Appiah, as he left for Spanish second-tier club Almeria.

Even though the club managed to garner an £8m fee for the 18-year-old, fans still displayed their concern over social media.

Though, they shouldn’t be overly worried as Forest were right to cash in now for such a substantial fee.

Yes, he had potential, but that’s not something you can put a certainty on – he’s only ever played eight times for the east Midlands club, so who knows how good he could have actually been?

There’s been little to suggest he should be in the starting line-up especially not over Joe Lolley who plays on the right-hand side.

Lolley is averaging the highest rating in the squad currently at 7.22 having scored and assisted one goal, per WhoScored – whilst Matty Cash, Albert Adomah and Sammy Ameobi are all healthy options in their own right.

Their academy is very talented too; they’ve got Alex Mighten and Brennan Johnson to fall back upon if they really needed to, therefore, it makes sense to profit from Appiah now.

If he goes on to be the next big thing, then so be it; there was no guarantee of that happening at the City Ground anytime soon.

Oliver Burke’s £13m move to RB Leipzig after leaving the same club hasn’t paid off and after moving to Alaves on loan following a failed spell with West Brom, it shows he’s not up to the task in the Championship.

Forest haven’t missed him and for the time being, they are unlikely to miss Appiah. This was the right move.

رد الإعلامي خالد الغندور، على تطاول أحمد حسام ميدو لاعب الزمالك السابق والمستشار الفني الحالي لنادي بيراميدز، بعد هجوم الأخير عليه.

طالع.. ميدو ردًا على هجوم خالد الغندور: لا تهدموا الزمالك.. ولا تنطق اسمي مرة أخرى!

وقال الغندور خلال فيديو بث مباشر عبر حسابه الشخصي بموقع التواصل الاجتماعي “فيس بوك”: “الناس أرسلت لي فيديو لـ أحمد حسام ميدو يتحدث عني وقالوا لي (ميدو ظبطك وروقك وقال عنك كلام وحش أوي)، صراحة أنا لم أكن أصدق، ولكن شاهدت الفيديو”.

وتابع: “دائما أقول إن ميدو أخي الصغير، وأخيه عشرة عمري، حملته منذ أن كان عمره عام فقط، نحن في قناة نادي الزمالك بعد التعادل مع وادي دجلة، طارق يحيى كان عصبيًا جدًا وقال كلام خرج من قلبه لأن (دمه كان محروق)، ونحن أحرار وهذا الأمر يخص قناة الزمالك”.

وأضاف: “فوجئنا بأن ميدو يتحدث عنا، ويريد أن يعلمنا (الصح والخطأ)، ويرى أنه يمتلك الصح فقط، ويقول أنه لا يوجد قناة نادي في العالم تفعل ذلك حتى قناة الأهلي، وقال إنه حتى عندما سقط المارد الأحمر بخماسية على يد صن داونز لم يهاجموا اللاعبين، رغم إنني أتذكر انتقاد القناة للاعبين وتم خصم أموال منهم”.

وواصل: “سواء نحن صح أم خطأ هذا يخص نادي الزمالك، (ومن حرقة دمنا) ميدو قال لو هم قالوا ذلك فهذا لأن مجلس الإدارة هو الذي وجههم ليهاجموا اللاعبين، وهذا شئ يقلل منا نحن”.

وأردف: “كتبت منشورًا أغضب ميدو، وبعد ذلك قلت في قناة الزمالك أن ميدو أخي الصغير، ولكن تفاجأت أنه قال ما قاله في برنامجه، وذكر أنه كان أكثر من أدر على الزمالك أموالا وأن ما حدث في القناة جهل”.

واستمر: “لماذا تعلق على قناة الزمالك؟، قلت إنك عضو في مجلس إدارة نادي زد، وفي ذات الوقت أنت متحدث رسمي ومستشار فني لنادي بيراميدز، ولو أنت تقول أن ما حدث في قناة الزمالك جهل، فأنا أقول أن ما تعمل به من مناصب يعد من عجائب الدنيا السبعة”.

وأوضح: “بالفعل طلبت أن أكون مديرا للكرة بنادي زد، ولكن لم أطلب من ميدو، بل تواصلت مع حازم إمام وقلت له إنني أحب أن أخوض التجربة، ولكن الأخير لم يرد عليّ”.

واسترسل: “فكرة إني (كلمت طوب الأرض) لكي أعمل في نادي زد وهم من رفضوا لأنني (تافه!)، عيب يا ميدو، وحتى لو طلبت هل هذا يعني أن تقول ذلك على الهواء؟!، أنت كنت تبحث عن العمل كمدرب لنادي الزمالك، ليس هناك عيب في ذلك، هل هذا يعيبك أم يعيبني”.

واستمر: “أنت تقول عني أنا (تافه)!، ورغم أنك أصغر مني سنا وأنا كابتنك، ولعبت أكثر منك في نادي الزمالك، هذا لا يجعلني أتطاول عليك أو أخطئ في حقك، رغم أنك أخطأت في حق كباتن كبار كانوا في الاستوديو”.

واختتم: “شكرا يا ميدو على احترامك لقائدك، أملك أسرارًا كثيرة عنك، ولكن أخلاقي وتربيتي لن تجعلني أفصح عنها، أنا مصدوم، ولن أرد عليك، لأن أبي رباني على ذلك”.

It would be fair to say that Marouane Fellaini never really won over the Manchester United fans during his six years at the club.

However, the Everton supporters seemingly still remember the 6 foot 4 Belgian fondly.

Fellaini joined the Toffees from Standard Liege in 2008 and went on to make 177 appearances for the Merseyside giants – scoring 33 times in the process.

The 2012-13 campaign was particularly strong for the midfielder as he managed 11 Premier League goals for the English club.

And when Everton’s official Twitter account posted a video of Fellaini scoring against Man United, a number of the Toffees fans praised the now 31-year-old.

Fellaini’s career has taken somewhat of a strange turn with the Belgium international now turning out for Shandong Luneng in the Chinese Super League.

But a number of Everton supporters have praised the powerhouse, with one individual even claiming that he should never have left Goodison Park.
