Jamie Carragher uncomfortable about Liverpool's mega money move for Alexander Isak
Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has questioned whether the Anfield club should break their transfer record for a second time this summer to complete a deal for Newcastle striker Alexander Isak. After Liverpool had a bid of around £110m for Isak rejected by Newcastle last week, the striker is in limbo as he waits to discover if a second offer will be lodged by the Premier League champions. Newcastle have stated that they don't want to sell Isak and that inspired Liverpool to suggest they would not return with a second offer for the striker. Yet there is still a strong suspicion that this deal could be revived in this summers transfer window and that has inspired Carragher to voice his concern that the move for Isak 'feels a bit messy'. Speaking on the Overlap's pre-season show, the 2005 Champions League winner questioned whether Liverpool should be spending so much money on Isak after sealing big money deals for Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike this summer. 'He will be an amazing signing, but from a fan's point of view for myself, I don't want Liverpool to spend £150 million on Isak,' said Carragher. 'There's something about Liverpool buying another striker [Hugo Ekitike], and he's backup. 'Something about it doesn't feel right to me. I know Liverpool need numbers, for a number of reasons, at the top of the pitch. 'I look at Isak, and he's obviously thrown his toys out the pram once Arsenal signed a striker and Liverpool signed a striker. 'From his point of view and from his agent's point of view, do they not tell Newcastle months ago that they wanted to move on? It feels a bit messy to me now. 'For me, when I think of Liverpool, it doesn't look really planned – I don't think the plan is to buy a striker for £80 million, and then be looking to buy another one for £120 million.' The 25-year-old Sweden striker did not travel with his Newcastle team-mates on their pre-season trip to Singapore and South Korea, citing an injury as the reason for his absence. He has been training at former club Real Sociedad, but has been back in Newcastle in recent days as he awaits developments on his possible move to Liverpool.

Levy speaks out on Ange Postecoglou's Tottenham sacking
The Tottenham owner and chairman took the difficult call to get rid of the former Celtic manager despite the fact he had just won them the Europa League, delivering on his promise he always wins a trophy in his second season. However, the Premier League giants had also finished 17th in the league, just one place above the relegation zone, which is well below their lofty ambitions. Levy decided he had to part ways with the Aussie, who only lasted two years in North London after heading there from Glasgow. The businessman has now spoken on the sacking and explained his thinking. Read more: 'Ultimately, the decision sits with me, but it's always a collective decision,' he told the Overlap. 'We have a board of directors, but under the board, we have a group of technical staff, and they advise. 'We had to explain the decision to part ways with Ange. Ange just won us a trophy – a European trophy – highly significant and he's always going to be in our history. 'However, we couldn't lose sight of the fact that we finished 17th in the league, we lost 22 Premier League games, and it's impossible for Tottenham to be in that position. 'And so we had to take the emotion out of it and we had to give some data points as to why we decided to do what we did.'

Gary Neville trolled by Salford City rivals after watching opening day defeat
Salford City endured a bad start to their League Two campaign as they were beaten 3-1 at home to Crewe Alexandra, who couldn't resist poking fun at the club's owner Gary Neville as he watched on with despair Gary Neville has been taunted by Salford City 's rivals Crewe Alexandra on social media after his side's opening day defeat this weekend. The Manchester United legend cut a glum figure on Saturday afternoon as his Salford side were dealt a 3-1 loss by Crewe at home in their first League Two clash of the season. Kadeem Harris' own goal had given the away side the lead in the eighth minute before he made up for his gaffe by getting Neville's men level moments later. But Crewe quickly took control of the game just before the half time interval as Conor Thomas netted a brace in the space of a few minutes. Salford could not stage a fight back after the break and Neville was seen looking downbeat in the stands as he was pictured inside the directors' box holding up a hand against the window. And Crewe couldn't resist teasing the former England defender as they posted the picture of Neville holding up his hand, showing five fingers, and writing: "Nah it was three Gary." The cheeky post went down a hit with football fans on Twitter as one joined in with the fun, adding: "Clearly saying it should have been five by half time." Another wrote: "Counting how many places off the bottom of the league they are," as a third said: "It should have been how many Gary?" Neville has been one of the owners of Salford since 2014, agreeing to purchase the club alongside fellow Class of 92 members David Beckham, Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes and brother Phil - as well as businessman Peter Lim. However, Neville acquired Lim's stake in the club in 2024 and this year it was announced that only Neville and Beckham remained shareholders out of the Class of 92 legends following a takeover by a new ownership group. Neville has often shared pictures and videos of himself following Salford City and he left heartbroken last season after the team finished eighth - just one spot off the play-off places. Salford is one of many business interests Neville is invested in after starting the Hotel Football group in Manchester. He has also started an investment firm called Relentless, which has invested in restaurants and properties, and media group Buzz 16, which runs his Overlap podcast content.

Ruud Gullit attacks Hossam Ghaly: His mentality was the reason for his expulsion from Europe
Amir Hagag Dutch football legend Ruud Gullit criticized the mentality of Hossam Ghaly, the former Al Ahly star and current board member, asserting that he does not have the right mentality. Ruud Gullit coached the Dutch team Feyenoord during the 2004-2005 season, a period during which Ghaly played for the Dutch team. Recalling "the player who let him down," Gullit said on Sky News' "Overlap" program, "Can you imagine, having everything, but not having the right mentality?" Ruud Gullit emphasized: "There is one player who was my biggest failure as a coach, and that was Hossam Ghaly. He had everything in football. He was strong, had a good jump, was technically excellent, and was a master of passing. But he always wanted to do a show-off, like put the ball between his legs. That can't happen. You have to play easier." Gullit explained that he confronted Hossam Ghaly about his mistakes, but he refused to follow instructions, stressing that "he will not change because that is his personality, and Ghaly's mentality was the reason he was expelled from all European clubs." read more Japan Stun Spain 2-1 to Qualify for World Cup Last 16 World Cup 2022: Get to Know Confirmed Line-ups of Japan and Spain Group E Decider Saudi Arabia Bid Farewell to World Cup after 2-1 Loss to Mexico Tunisia Achieve Historic Win over France but Fail to Qualify Tunisia to Clash against France in World Cup Sports Get to Know Squad of Group D Teams in World Cup Sports Al Ahly Gift EGP 70,000 to Players After Claiming Egyptian Super Cup Title Sports Bencharki Hits First 2 Goals with Al Jazira Since Leaving Zamalek Sports Arsenal Possible Line-up for Nottingham Forest News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean Arts & Culture "6 Ayam" Sets Streaming Date
