Metz bring in Wollscheid from Stoke

Metz have signed defender Philipp Wollscheid from Stoke City on a three-year contract.

The Ligue 1 club completed the signing of the 28-year-old late on Wednesday and he will replace Simon Falette, who moved to Eintracht Frankfurt earlier in the transfer window.

Wollscheid joined Stoke from Mainz, initially on loan in January 2015, before making his move permanent later that year.

The centre-back played 31 Premier League games as recently as the 2015-16 season, but spent last year on at Wolfsburg and has now left for Metz on a permanent basis.

He was below new Stoke signings Kevin Wimmer, Bruno Martins Indi and Kurt Zouma in the pecking order at the bet365 Stadium, as well as captain Ryan Shawcross.

Metz finished 14th in last season s French top f…

Celtic would have paid £30m for Roberts – Rodgers

Brendan Rodgers said Celtic would have broken their transfer record to sign Patrick Roberts on a permanent deal but Manchester City were unwilling to sell the winger.

Roberts scored 15 goals in 43 appearances for Celtic during an 18-month loan spell that ended in May, and the Scottish champions were ready to spend £30million to make him their player this season.

But City would only agree to a further season-long loan, leaving Rodgers frustrated.

We would have broken our transfer record for Patrick, said Rodgers, speaking at a charity event in Belfast. We wanted to find the deal that would get him back here. But he s a Manchester City player.

We could have offered them £30m and they would have said no.

They didn’t want to sell. So the best o…

Messi is the greatest of all time, but Barca must move on – Xavi

New Barcelona head coach Xavi says it is important the club no longer dwell on Lionel Messi s exit as they have others who can step up and fill the superstar forward s void.

Barca have got off to a poor start in their first season without Messi since 2003-04, the Catalans having won just six of their 16 matches in all competitions.

Argentina international Messi scored 672 goals and assisted 265 more across his 778 appearances for the club, amounting to 937 goal involvements in total.

Messi averaged a goal every 110.3 minutes in all competitions in his final season with Barca (38 goals in 47 games) before joining Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer.

That compares to a goal every 237.3 minutes for Barca s leading scorer Memphis Depay this term (six goals…

Dybala: Allegri has helped me develop

Paulo Dybala says he is learning a lot from Massimiliano Allegri after the Juventus head coach denied a rift with the forward.

Dybala left the Juve bench before the end of the 3-3 draw with Parma at the start of the month, the substitute reacting to Allegri s decision not to use him.

He later apologised and Allegri described the Argentina international as a clever boy for saying sorry over the incident, before rejecting claims the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo had restricted Dybala s opportunities.

And ahead of Wednesday s Champions League last-16 first leg away to Atletico Madrid, Dybala piled praise on Allegri.

I have learned a great deal from him, particularly in terms of the way we work, how to be a model professional and being fully focused during tr…

Van Dijk fumes over ´scandalous´ Netherlands collapse in Montenegro

Virgil van Dijk was left fuming with a scandalous second-half performance after the Netherlands missed a chance to seal qualification for the World Cup when they drew 2-2 with Montenegro.

The Oranje knew a win at Podgorica City Stadium would seal top spot in Group G and their place in the tournament in Qatar next year following Norway s goalless draw with Latvia earlier in the day.

It appeared to be mission accomplished when Memphis Depay doubled their lead early in the second half, having opened the scoring from the penalty spot.

But Montenegro struck twice in the final eight minutes to stun Louis van Gaal s side, Ilija Vukotic rounding Justin Bijlow and slotting home before fellow substitute Nikola Vujnovic rose above Daley Blind to head home.

Bale and Wales on golf ban at World Cup

Wales, golf, Madrid, in that order, read the flag – and that order of priority means Gareth Bale will miss out on his favourite pastime while at the Qatar World Cup.

Bale is a keen golf fan – his love of the sport celebrated by fans of Wales and irritating supporters at former club Real Madrid – but Wales come first.

That is the explanation Rob Page had for his captain after revealing there will be no time for golf during the finals.

Wales boss Page had sought to arrange a round for his team in Doha, but the limited daylight put paid to those plans.

Yeah, there s no golf, Page said of his conversation with Bale. We re out there to do a job.

Doing what we all know he does.

Llongyfarchiadau to on winning the Final. |
