44 — Vanguard, FRIDAY, AUGUST 7, 2020 Premier League clubs vote against 5 subs PREMIER League clubs have voted to revert to a maximum of three substitutes and seven players on the bench for next season as against the five adopted during the league restart after the stoppage cause by Covid-19. The vote of the 20 clubs at their virtual summer meeting is understood to have demonstrated the divisions that exist. While the top half of the league backed Chelsea proposals to continue to allow five substitutes from a bench of nine, they fell well short of the required two thirds majority. Instead, the opposition to the proposal, led by Aston Villa, was joined by the teams in the lower half of the table. Indeed, a majority of the clubs voted against the five sub plan, with a 10-10 tie on the proposal to stick with the larger bench. Of the promoted trio, Leeds are understood to have backed retaining a bench of nine but joined fellow new boys West Brom and Fulham in rejecting five replacements being allowed. Under League rules, 14 votes must be in favour of any rule change for it to be adopted and the outcome shows how things have changed in the past two months. When Chelsea initially proposed both rules - following Fifa’s lead - in June, they were both passed by 16 votes to four. Chelsea prepare for substitutions DAVID SILVA has been offered £52,000 a week plus a private plane and elegant house to join Lazio. The Man City legend bid an emotional farewell to the Premier League against Norwich on the Willian agrees £100,000-a-week deal with Arsenal Chelsea star Willian has reportedly agreed a threeyear contract worth £100,000 per week with Arsenal. The 31-year-old was locked in talks over fresh terms to remain at Stamford Bridge, but has chosen to move on after Chelsea refused to offer him the long-term deal he had demanded. Two years were on the table but the player wanted three. Frank Lampard was keen to retain Willian and extend his seven-year spell in West London, but Arsenal have stepped in to seal GOLD AND SILVA David Silva offered £52k a week, private jet, ‘elegant house’ by Lazio Silva final day of last season after a dazzling decade at the Etihad. Silva is yet to decide on his next club and for now is focusing on City’s Champions League Last 16 second leg against Real Madrid tomorrow. But reports in Italy suggest Lazio have offered Silva a whole host of benefits to help lure him to the Stadio Olimpico. Tuttosport reports the Serie A side have tabled a deal worth £52,000 a week. They have also thrown in some luxury selling points for Spanish veteran Silva, 34, including his own private jet and a luxury pad in the heart of Rome. But incredibly, it does not seem enough for Silva. The talented playmaker collects £220,000 a week at City and although he is prepared to take a substantial pay cut, Lazio are still significantly below his wage demands. According to Il Tempo, Silva is looking for around £86,000 per week to make the move. the deal on a free transfer. Blues boss Lampard is even said to have appealed to Chelsea’s hierarchy directly to bring an end to the impasse surrounding Willian’s renewal, but his pleas have fallen on deaf ears. Kia Joorabchian, Willian’s representative, recently claimed that five clubs were competing to snap up the winger in a bargain deal. Willian won two league titles, the FA Cup, the EFL Cup and the Europa League at Chelsea. Willian Morgan slams Arsenal for laying off 55 staff PIERS MORGAN has branded his beloved Arsenal and their billionaire owner “shameful” for laying off 55 members of their non-playing staff. The Gunners are set to make a huge chunk of their staff redundant as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, with many clubs struggling financially. The shock news was met with a monster backlash from fans. And in the sea of criticism, Arsenal-mad Morgan launched a typically furious rant at his own team. The Good Morning Britain host took particular aim at “multi-billionaire” owner Stan Kroenke and benchwarming Mesut Ozil for “sitting on his “a**e” to the tune of £350,000 a week. Morgan roared: “Arsenal firing 55 staff when we’re owned by a multi-billionaire, have just made £££ by winning the FA Cup & qualifying for Europe, & pay Mesut Ozil £350k-a-week to sit on his a**e, is morally indefensible. “[It’s] not what I expect from a club with our heritage. “Shameful decision.” The North Londoners are owned by mega-rich American sports tycoon Kroenke. Wilfred Ndidi has argued that his international teammate Kelechi Iheanacho is Leicester City’s top player when it comes to taking penalty kicks, and it has been echoed by Austrian left-back Christian Fuchs. Since Iheanacho arrived at the King Power Stadium from Manchester City, the Foxes have been awarded 21 penalty kicks, but the Super Eagle appears to be way down in the pecking order of spot kick takers. Premier League Golden Boot winner Jamie Vardy is the designated penalty taker, scoring 14 out of 17, while James Maddison, Ayoze Perez and Ighalo cheaper option to Kane, says Scholes Manchester United and England legend Paul Scholes is of the opinion that manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer should prioritize the signing of a center forward over Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho. Scholes has advised his former teammate Solskjaer to consider signing Ighalo on a permanent basis if Manchester United fail to land Kane. Speaking to BT Sport ahead of United’s Europa League clash vs LASK, Scholes said : “I just think United need a number 9, a real center forward, a real goalscorer and Harry Kane would be that man for me. “But then again you have to think what does Ole want? It doesn’t seem like he wants that type of center forward at the minute. “He’s got Ighalo who is more of a number 9, he seems to be using him the last 15 - 20 minutes when things are not quite going that well. “Maybe Ighalo could be an option, a cheaper price, just as a squad filler but Sancho would improve any team.” The 31-year-old Ighalo is on loan at Manchester United from Chinese Super League club Shanghai Shenhua until January 31, 2021. Messi’ll retire at Barca, says Bartomeu Lionel Messi will retire as a Barcelona player in “three or four years”, according to club president Josep Maria Bartomeu. Bartomeu has no doubt Barca’s all-time leading goalscorer Messi will end his career with the Catalan giants, which could happen by 20. “It’s not just me who says it. Messi says it himself, that he wants to finish his professional playing career at Barcelona and it’s the only club for him,” Bartomeu told beIN SPORTS. “I don’t have any doubt that when he finishes his football career in three or four years that it will be here in Barcelona. “Messi has it very clear. He’s been here since he was a kid. He Messi knows the colours and he’s a part of the club’s history. He’s the best player in the world. Not just right now, but in the history of the game. He’s at Barcelona and has made clear he wants to stay here.” Kroenke Ndidi names Iheanacho as Leicester’s top man Demarai Gray have been chosen to take the rest. When asked to name the Leicester City player he’d back to score a decisive kick, Ndidi was quoted as saying by Leicestershire Live : “Kelechi’s never missed a penalty. I’ve never seen him miss a penalty,” to which Fuchs agreed. Perez doubted Ndidi, saying : “When is he even taking penalties?” Ndidi replied : “You’ve not seen him? Morgan US billionaire buys Roma in £532m deal US billionaire Dan Friedkin has signed a deal worth 591m euros (£532m) to take over Serie A side Roma. “We look forward to closing the purchase as soon as possible and immersing ourselves in the AS Roma family,” said Friedkin.

Pallotta had to pay a fine after jumping in one of Rome’s historic fountains during the celebrations. He never misses,” before Fuchs added: “He’s unbelievable. The best penalty taker I’ve seen.” Ndidi and Iheanacho
