Barely a few days into the job, new Barcelona coach Tata Martino is already getting his feet wet. He has welcomed back the senior players who were away after the Confederations Cup, and he has looked to alleviate any concerns that Cesc Fabregas may have about his future at the Catalan club. Keeping Fabregas would be a huge statement from the new Barca boss, but he also wants to add a new defender to the star studded squad that he. has inherited. Barcelona's center back options are limited, especially after PSG's signing of Marquinhos and their refusal to discuss a fee for Thiago Silva. The Brazilian captain, considered by many to be the best defender in the world, was Barcelona's first choice, but they now have to move onto other targets. Martino has targetted the Premier League in his chase for a center back, with the likes of David Luiz, Jan Vertonghen, Daniel Agger, Thomas Vermaelan, and Vincent Kompany on his wish list. The problem for Barcelona is that each of these players is considered close to indispensible by their current clubs. The most realistic of these transfers may be Thomas Vermaelan, with the Arsenal skipper having lost his place in the team towards the tail end of last season. Even then, it would take a huge fee for Arsene Wenger to consider parting with the talented Belgian. Martino knows that despite the attacking talents of Neymar and Messi, his side will not challenge Bayern and Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League unless they shore up their leaky defense. It is now time for the Barcelona board to back their new coach and make the signing of a center back the priority.

[color=#000099][/color] • Home-based athletes, officials depart August 5 THE final rehearsals planned by the Athletics Federation of Nigeria (AFN) for Team Nigeria athletes ahead the 14th IAAF World Championship in Moscow, may have been called off due to what an official described yesterday as ‘fund constrain.’ The World Championship tagged: Moscow 2013 will commence on August 10 and the AFN had planned a two-week camping for the athletes in a city with same weather condition with Russia. A source close to the AFN told The Guardian Tuesday that there was no longer room for such plan because according to him, the Federal Government was not forthcoming with financial assistance to the federation to actualise the world championship plans. “The AFN has tried every means to get money from the National Sports Commission (NSC) for Team Nigeria’s preparation for Moscow 2013, but things are not working out. It means we have to bank on element of luck to win medals in the championship and this is unfortunate,” the source said. At the end of the Cross River/All Nigeria Open in Calabar, the AFN came up with its list of athletes that will fly the nation’s flag in Moscow. At that occasion, the sports minister and chairman of the NSC, Bolaji Abdullahi assured the athletes that the country would give them the support they need to excel in the Moscow. Even President Goodluck Jonathan has repeatedly assured that the country’s athletes would not lack anything in terms of preparation for major championships. Our source lamented yesterday over the no fund situation from the NSC, saying that the country’s athletes, particularly the relay teams, might find it difficult to match their opponent squerely when hostilities begin in Moscow. “My major worry is our relay teams. They have a good chance to win medals this time around, but with this no fund situation, which has stopped the camping exercise, they may not practice well before the games. What it means it that we just have to bank on luck. That is not good for a country like Nigeria. I am sure the authority would not do this to a junior football team not to talk of the Super Eagles in their preparation for the World Cup. It is unfortunate,” the official said. Another source hinted Tuesday that the sports minister has promised to ‘assist’ the AFN with allowances for the athletes only. “The minister said the IAAF is taking care of Team Nigeria’s participation in the World Championship and he will only assist the AFN with some allowances for the athletes. Probably, he doesn’t know that it is the responsibility of each country to prepare its athletes for the games,” the source added. Meanwhile, home-based athletes and officials of Team Nigeria are expected to depart for Moscow on August 5, an official said yesterday. The 14th IAAF World Championship will be the largest global sporting event of the year, with an anticipation that the nine days event will reach a cumulative audience of more than five billion TV viewers. The IAAF President, Lamine Diack had disclosed during the closing ceremony of the World Youth Championship held in Donetsk, Ukraine, that more countries would watch the Moscow 2013 Games live, adding that broadcasting agreements were in place covering more territories than ever before in the history of the IAAF World Championships. |
Akwa Ibom State Governor Godswill Akpabio says he has no anointed candidate to succeed him in 2015. The governor said only God would determine his successor. The governor, represented by the state Commissioner for Special Duties, Mr. Emmanuel Enoidem, said this while inaugurating some projects at Nsan. According to him, beyond human imagination, whoever pleases God, will be the next governor of the state. The Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Mr. Anietie Ukpe, stated this in a statement on Saturday. Akpabio called on the people to go into prayers so that God would give them another leader, who would continue with the transformation programme in the state. The governor said, "I have given a sense of dignity, respect and responsibility to Akwa Ibom people; hence, we need the sustenance and sustainability of this culture and a man, who is competent and has the capacity to continue with the current tempo of development in the state. "If there is any government in the history of Nigeria and Akwa Ibom State that has been so sensitive to the plights of the people and passionate about provision of infrastructure, it is my government." |
