An unnamed Chinese club are prepared to pay £38m to sign West Ham midfielder Dimitri Payet, according to Sky sources. Jeremy Hellickson Jersey . Sky sources understand the Chinese club have made an offer to Payet through his representatives and have proposed to pay the France international £7m-a-year in wages. However, West Ham confirmed on Tuesday they were in talks with Payet over a new deal and a club source told Sky Sports: I cant see him going to China. Payet has scored six goals in 18 Premier League appearances so far this season The Hammers revealed that contract negotiations, initiated by the club, are progressing well and stressed that neither Payet or his agent have made any demands over a new deal. The Daily Mirror claimed Payets agent had demanded a new contract for his client worth £125,000-a-week, just seven months after he joined West Ham from Marseille for an initial £10.75m. Payet has been a hugely impressive performer for West Ham this season Following reports in todays media, West Ham United would like to clarify that at no time has Dimitri Payet or his agent made any demands to the club over a new contract, a club statement read. However, the club can confirm that due to Dimitris outstanding impact since his arrival at the Boleyn Ground, they have initiated amicable and productive talks about an improvement and extension to his contract.

Dimitri Payet is our best player. And of course I would love to have him happy, long-term, at the club. Slaven Bilic The club is moving, with the new stadium and everything, and the most important move is to keep your best players, Bilic said.Dimitri Payet is our best player.

International cricket is headed for a major financial shift as Australia, England and South Africa lead a push to sell overseas television rights in a collective bundle overseen by a new, independent administrative body. Brock Holt Jersey .While the BCCI has expressed reservations about the concept, ESPNcricinfo understands that Cricket Australia, the ECB and CSA are adamant that a more collaborative approach to selling bilateral rights is the only way to minimise potential damage to revenue levels due to a shrinking of the Indian television market.Their push for a new way to sell bilateral rights was a key part of discussions at a workshop convened by the ICC in Dubai this week. These meetings effectively signalled the death knell for the concept of two-tier Test cricket, but prospects are brighter for a Test Championship playoff, and formalised league structures for ODIs and international Twenty20 matches.The recent acquisition of Ten Sports by Sony has cut the number of major Indian television rights bidders by a third, and both CA and the ECB are aware their current rich deals with Star Sports - worth up to US$8 million per international match - are unlikely to be matched next time around.Overseas rights contracts for both nations are soon to expire, adding urgency to the boards desire for another approach that will mean less competition between nations and a better overall return.All countries are worried about the downturn in the Indian market and they feel a linked-together approach will be better, a source told ESPNcricinfo. Otherwise theyre out there on their own, two Indian broadcasters and 10 countries all with rights deals to sell - broadcasters can pick and choose.If youve got one rights package to sell with content they want included somewhere in it then youre in a much better position.So eager are Australian, English and South African administrators to try the collective approach that they are unlikely to wait for consensus before pulling the trigger. The pooled bid could feature as few as three nations or as many as 10, depending on who responds positively between now and the next round of official ICC meetings in October.Given that the deal would be for bilateral series only, there is no requirement for the pooled option to pass a vote of the ICC executive board. Instead CA, the ECB and CSA will need to convince other nations that the new deal is in their best financial interests, and also to formulate an independent body to oversee proceedings in a manner that would remove any doubts about the rich seeking a bilateral cash-grab at the expense of the rest.The decision to pool rights could be made by three, five, 10 countries, however many agree, the source said. It isnt all in or none in - it will take place regardless of how many sign up.While the ICC has a department tasked with selling commercial rights to global tournaments, it has no authority to sell bilateral series. Independence in decision-making in that group and also independence in terms of how the money is divided up is going to be really important, the source said. If big countries are seen to be muscling little countries then the concept weakens.But its got [to have] independent management and potentially governance that will position it as a genuine media player, rather than countries pursuing their own individual interests.The BCCIs hesitance to get involved in the pooled deal thus far is driven in part by the differing television rights priorities for each nation. Indian cricket has generated massive revenue from the IPL, dwarfing the still-strong returns derived from international series and ICC events.By contrast, all other boards including Australia, England and South Africa rely far more heavily on the television rights from bilateral series sold into the Indian market and ICC tournaments. While T20 began in England and has found a successful outlet in Australias BBL, neither competition is anywhere near as lucrative as the IPL - likewise the tournaments run by other nations.In the end the boards are competing against themselves and pulling in three directions, the source said. Theyre the beneficiaries of ICC events, theyre the rights holders for bilateral cricket and they own domestic T20 competitions. It does come back to where they want to prioritise their energies and what balance of those three things they see their business running on in the future. Carl Yastrzemski Jersey .

Jonny Gray believes Argentina have become one of the most dangerous sides in the world after sharpening their claws on their southern hemisphere rivals.The Scotland lock has been impressed by the South Americans since they were admitted to the Rugby Championship back in 2014.They have already recorded wins over both Australia and South Africa and this year had the All Blacks worried when they lead for half an hour in Hamilton before eventually succumbing to a late onslaught.But Gray is concerned the Pumas could now pounce on his side when the Scots welcome Argentina to Murrayfield for Saturdays autumn Test clash.He said: Are they up there with the best sides in the world now? Id say so. Argentina are a great team. They can attack from anywhere. Look at the players they have got - guys like Agustin Creevy, some of their backs and their huge wingers, so they have some dangerous strike runners.They are always keeping the ball alive so you can never switch off. When it comes to facing them up front, in the scrum and in the line-out its going to be a huge challenge. Across the board we have to be switched on.You just have to look at some of their recent results in the Rugby Championship to realise they are a world-class side. They beat South Africa and then pushed New Zealand all the way.We have to be on it from minute one to the final whistle. We need to be clever, we cant be coughing up ball to them.But while the Glasgow forwardd is preparing to face a side who have made significant strides forward in recent years, he believe he still has some way to go before he himself can claim to be among the worlds top performers. Chris Sale Jersey. Gray has been tipped for a call-up to the British and Irish Lions squad set to tour New Zealand next summer. His performance in Saturdays loss to Australia where he made all of his 24 tackles stick will have only improved his chances of making Warren Gatlands travel party.But Gray is not putting too much emphasis on the statistics.The 22-year-old said: I dont look at numbers. As a defence we all work for each other. Whoever is there makes the tackle and whoever misses the tackle is there to help clean up. We play for each other, we play with a lot of heart, so its a team effort, always.Im just lucky Ive got the coaches at Glasgow and Scotland who will sit down with me and show me where I can improve my game. Its really special getting to play for your country and to come up against some of the best second-rows in the world like we did at the weekend against Australia.Its a great opportunity to test yourself against these guys. I think Ive got a lot to improve on and a long way to go before Im at that level.But Im lucky Ive got players around me pushing me on. Were always pushing each other here.

Dallas Cowboys defensive end Randy Gregory withdrew the appeal of his 10-game suspension for multiple violations of the NFLs substance abuse policy and now will be suspended 14 games in full, through Week 14. Melvin Ingram Jersey .Gregory wont be eligible to play this season until Week 16 because the Cowboys have a bye week (Week 7) during the ban.Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said Tuesday on his radio show that the NFL Players Association wouldnt support Gregorys appeal, making it pointless to pursue. Jones said the labor agreement boxed him out in having merit to his appeal.Gregory spent time in rehab and was released earlier this month. He has not been around the team since the offseason.It is unclear whether Gregory violated the substance abuse policy by failing or missing a test.At the 2015 NFL scouting combine, Gregory tested positive for marijuana, which put him in the leagues drug program. Considered a first-round prospect out of Nebraska, Gregory fell to the second round, where the Cowboys selected him with the 60th pick. Russell Okung Jersey . This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season.

Datsyuk will miss Tuesdays game against New Jersey and could be sidelined longer, while Cleary will likely miss at least the next three games. Its been an injury-plagued season for Datsyuk, who has suited up for just 39 games. Lords has hosted many memorable encounters over the years, but Wednesdays meeting between the counties and the ECB executive promises to rival the best of them for ferocity and, in its way, significance.The chairmen and chief executives of all 18 counties and the MCC are meeting to discuss their options for the future shape of the domestic T20 competition in England and Wales. It is no exaggeration to state that the conclusions reached could amount to the most significant changes to the face of England cricket since the introduction of limited-overs cricket in 1963 or the birth of professional T20 cricket in 2003.On one side you have those who insist a new T20 tournament featuring eight city-based teams is essential if cricket is to recapture the interest of the general public. On the other, you have those who warn that such a move will marginalise several first-class counties and further decrease the visibility of the game in the market towns and small cities where it is still relevant.The issue of free-to-air broadcasting and the value of potential broadcast deals will also be relevant. Some counties are incredulous at the difference in value placed on the options by the ECBs independent broadcast analysts. Some insist that free-to-air is essential if the game is to return to relevance in the public consciousness.It seems unlikely the consensus the ECB executive seeks will be reached today. They were hoping to agree one of the five options they set before the counties a few weeks ago with a view taking it to the ECB board for approval in October. But, with counties still asking for more information about the details and several insistent that their members have to be consulted, not enough seem ready to commit.Indeed, as they consider the implications of a city-based tournament - and as their members learn of those implications - it seems support for a two division tournament featuring all 18 teams has grown once more. This was the original recommendation of the ECB working party charged with looking into options a year or two ago, but it was subsequently shelved after concerns that it might limit the opportunity for lucrative local derbies.But a suggestion made by Glamorgan could offer a solution. ESPNcricinfo understands that they have put forwaard a plan whereby the T20 season would start with a weekend of local derbies - double-headers if necessary - that do not have any connection with the competition. Hayes Pullard Jersey. . While it is not a perfect solution - the issue of who would host such games is one problem - it may be enough to convince the waverers.One of the primary concerns is the implication to all other cricket by trying to create a July window for the new T20 tournament. The counties are worried that either the Championship will be diluted by the absence of around 100 of the best players, or that it will not be played at all for a month.ESPNcricinfo understands a suggestion has been made about cutting the Championship season to as few as 10 games - featuring three divisions of six teams - to make space for the new T20 competition while even Mike Fordham, the man hired by the ECB to launch the new competition (he fulfilled a similar role with the IPL and the CPL) has warned against comparisons with the BBL. Research has shown a tournament based in eight Test-hosting cities in England and Wales would cover only 25% of the population compared to 65% in Australia cover by the six BBL-hosting cities.While NatWest Blast attendances have risen by more than 60% since the introduction of a predictable schedule (generally on Friday nights) three years ago, it is ironic that many of the potential hosts of the eight-team tournament have seen ticket sales stall in recent times.Hampshires have grown by just 1% in that time (and dropped in 2016) while Lancashires have grown by 3% and again shrunk in 2016. Yorkshires and Durhams attendance figures also fell in 2016. It may well grate on those counties where attendances have increased sharply - Northants, Gloucestershire, Essex and Worcestershire, for example - to forgo their place in the premier T20 competition to those who have failed to seize the formats potential as well.If the ECB executive force a vote - and it seems unlikely they will take such a chance - it is far from certain they will win. And if they lose, it may well be that the resignation of the ECB chief executive and, perhaps, its chairman are requested.

PHOENIX -- The Arizona Diamondbacks are parting with senior vice president of baseball operations De Jon Watson, and chief baseball officer Tony La Russa said he and general manager Dave Stewart may also be fired after the season. Adrian Clayborn Jersey .La Russa announced Watsons departure after a 10-9 win over the Dodgers on Sunday.La Russa said he will meet with owner Ken Kendrick and president and CEO Derrick Hall eventually about his status.If it gets turned over the next person, you gladly turn it over, La Russa said. When were 20 games under .500, I felt if youre looking at the front office, the most responsible person, it would be me.Arizona made an aggressive push to compete in the offseason by giving Zack Greinke a $206.5 million, six-year free agent contract and trading a bevy of young players to the Atlanta Braves for right-hander Shelby Miller. Greinke is having his worst season in years and Miller pitched poorly enough to get a midseason demotion to Triple-A, part of why the Diamondbacks are just a game out of last place in the NL West at 63-86.When you have this kind of year, Ive never had a problem taking responsibility and evidently, stuff that Ive been taught hasnt contributed enough, La Russa said. Well wait and see how the decision comes. Im ready to go forward if theyve seen enough.Watson was in his second season with the club and oversaw the franchises player development and professional, amateur and international scouting departments.La Russa said the team decided not to renew Watsons contract and let him walk before the end of the season so he can pursue other opportunities.

Stuart Binny is looking at the tour of West Indies as an opportunity to prove himself as a utility player India could rely on, across different surfaces. The allrounder, who at 32 is the second-oldest member in the squad of 17 for the four-Test series, hopes to thrive on a specific role given to him by Anil Kumble, his one-time Karnataka captain and current India coach.I see it as exciting times for me. I was part of the South Africa series which happened here but again, playing in India was difficult for me. But on an overseas tour, Im looking to play the role assigned to me, Binny, who has played six Tests over two years, said. I will look to bat at No. 7 or 8, it depends on whether we play with the extra bowler or not. It also depends on the wicket. I may play as the third seamer or if the wicket has grass, then I may play as the fourth.Basically, my role is to take some of the pressure off our fast bowlers by keeping one end tight. Thats basically my job when I bowl. Obviously with the bat, it is pretty much simple. Obviously to bat with guys who are set and try and take the team to scores that we want to put on the board. Also, for me to bat with the lower order is going to be crucial.Binny can be used as a new-ball bowler too, like he was during the second Test against South Africa in Bangalore. On that occasion, India played two specialist quicks in Ishant Sharma and Varun Aaron. In Sri Lanka in August last year, Binny played a holding role to ease the burden on R Ashwin and the pace duo of Ishant Sharma and Umesh Yadav at different stages.Questions over Binnys effectiveness with the old ball have been raised time and again, and not without merit. But he isnt sweating over that, and instead explained the need to stick to the methods that have brought him 183 wickets in the first-class and List A formats.I have realised that the quicker I try to bowl, I tend to get less effective, he explained. When the ball is old, it is all about bowling areas and bowling one side of the wicket. I pretty much stick to my strength, which is bowling one side of the wicket, and bowl to a field that is only off side and stick to bowling there. I am not going to try to bowl quickly at that point of time. I think my main weapon is to swing the ball and if I can get that from the fourth stump getting away, then thats my job.One of the marked changes in Binnys approach in recent times has been his fitness, something he was not known for in the past. He attributed much of the change to his inability to endure long spells on the field on sapping days. The Binny who trains at the nets these days is a leaner, sharper version of the one who made his first-class debut in 2003-04.It was a choice that I had to make, especially if I wanted to play, he said. Being leaner and stronger helped my bowling. The reason I fit into teams is because I can bowl and not because of my batting. For me, bowling was crucial and I had to get fit for more opportunities and at a higher grade. It took me two years to get into the condition right now. You get IPL along the way and you do not get time to train because you travel. But that is no excuse. It is a lot of sacrifices but goood ones. Lawrence Guy Jersey. I looked after my diet. That helped me 65-70%. It is about eating at the right time and five good meals. You need to balance and eat good protein. I did a lot of running in the first year. Now, Shankar Basu (Indian teams trainer) has brought in power training in the last few months. That has helped a lot of guys to bowl well in the second, third spell. That is what training is about. All this has ensured Im now able to be as effective in my second and third spells.While Binny understands the team needs him to step up with the ball, his batting abilities have somewhat been understated. His tally of 194 runs in 10 Test innings doesnt inspire much confidence, but there have been spikes in his graph. His half-century on Test debut that steered India to a draw from a tricky situation on the final day of the first Test against England two summers ago was one such effort. His 49 in the second innings of the final Test in Sri Lanka helped India extend their lead and eventually clinch a series win, their first in the country in 22 years.If it boils down to India playing five specialist bowlers, chances are Binny will be thrown into the deep end, a possibility he is ready for. I have batted at No. 6 most of my career and the only thing I changed in international cricket was that I had fewer chances to score than when you play in a Ranji Trophy match, he said. You dont really try to convert that. My approach is pretty much simple, I try and get myself in and then play the way I know to play.I have never been asked to change my game, even when batting at No. 6. Its also important that we score runs; just not hang around in Test cricket. I feel sometimes in Test cricket, it is a bit easier because they start to attack you a little more than the other formats. No. 6 is a crucial spot, it depends on the role. Sometimes I might have to play against the second new ball. Thats what I have been doing in the last week - to bat against the new ball.Binnys sense of comfort, when asked about his equation with Kumble, was evident. Equally evident was the confidence in his batting when he skipped down the pitch to loft Kumbles gentle seam-ups over the makeshift sightscreen at the KSCA B ground. Anil bhai has captained me in Ranji Trophy in fact he said. He pretty much knows my game inside out. What he has spoken about right now is not too much technical stuff.I was 21 when I played my first Ranji Trophy match with Anil bhai. He had just come back from a Test and he was tough. Thilak Naidu (the former Karnataka wicketkeeper) was all about jokes but Anil bhai was about getting the job done. He is more relaxed now and we get more smiles now! He has been positive. He has told us to play aggressive cricket. For me, it works because he has seen me play and develop as a cricketer. You are never going to stop learning. I play Test cricket but that is not everything. He has pushed us to strive for higher things. Three days ago, it wasnt about my Test hundred. He started making me believe that I can score a Test hundred.

TORONTO - Sometimes it helps to just talk. http://www.eaglesrookiestore.com/Eagles-Sidney-Jones-Jersey/ . Thats what Blue Jays players did, for more than an hour behind closed doors, before Tuesday nights game against Los Angeles. Details of what was said were scarce but on the heels of Monday nights embarrassing 14-5 loss to the Dodgers, you need not be a brain surgeon to figure out some of the likely topics covered. One could bet the house words like pride, intensity and focus came up and often. "Understanding that this game is a privilege to play in, and not taking anything for granted, and go out and having fun," said closer Casey Janssen. "Not think of the record, and all the other things. Just go out there and do your job and try to get a win." "I dont think it can be a bad thing," said manager John Gibbons of the meeting. "Its actually quite common in the game." "Whether they help or whether they dont help, I dont know," said Anthopoulos. "I mean, all the ones that Ive seen, you never really know because theyre players-only meetings and rarely do things come out of them in terms of people other than players finding out whats really said. I think thats the point of it. I think what good comes of it is the fact that players care enough to talk amongst themselves and theres an accountability there amongst the players to try to hash it out amongst themselves." After Josh Johnson authored another horrendous outing, failing to record an out in the third inning, the Blue Jays made five errors. Some were purely physical, forgivable misplays which happen over the course of a long season. Others, like Dustin McGowans misfire on a would-be double play comebacker and Adam Linds whiff on an Andre Ethier ground ball, left one to wonder whether the collective cranium was lodged in the collective posterior. "We dont have any real margin for error," said Janssen. "We need to play good ball, and just see what we can make of this thing. Hopefully we go on a run and have some meaningful games in September and try and sneak in there." Accoring to Janssen, a handful of players remained in the clubhouse long after Mondays game ended. They were "talking shop," some grievances were aired and it was decided a broader group discussion would be beneficial. "If people listen, maybe theres some good to come out of it," said Janssen. "If it doesnt, I guess were not worse off than we were before. Hopefully we come together, hopefully everyone realizes that we have each others backs and that we havent quit. There are guys in this room that genuinely care about the season, care about each other, if nothing else for the most part, were kind of tired of seeing the product that were seeing on the field." Getting the focus back on the field would be a good start. Case in point: J.P. Arencibia. Its been a trying season, in which the catcher has regressed both offensively and defensively. Off the field, Arencibia has complained about criticism hes received from broadcast analysts, first publicly and then to Blue Jays president Paul Beeston. On Tuesday morning, Arencibia shut down his Twitter account but not before tweeting the reason why. Saying he was fed up with negative feedback, Arencibia thanked his supporters and offered to pray for his "haters" before signing off. The ball club doesnt need bad publicity when its avoidable and player-created. A symptom of a season gone so, so wrong. "You only have players-only meetings when youre not playing well," said Anthopoulos. http://www.eaglesrookiestore.com/Eagles-Nick-Foles-Jersey/ .Y. -- Sabres forward Drew Stafford has witnessed plenty of turmoil during his eight seasons in Buffalo. http://www.eaglesrookiestore.com/Eagles-Chance-Warmack-Jersey/ . It might not have mattered. While the Dodgers are preparing for the playoffs, the Padres showed their future has promise behind two rookies. http://www.eaglesrookiestore.com/Eagles-Stefen-Wisniewski-Jersey/ . Nigeria beat surprise package Ethiopia 2-0 in the second leg of their playoff for a comfortable 4-1 aggregate victory.

Pence singled in the winning run with no outs in the ninth inning to give the Giants a 7-6 victory over the San Diego Padres on Sunday. PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Penguins started defense of their Stanley Cup championship without their captain and Stanley Cup-clinching goaltender, but that hasnt been a problem thanks to Marc-Andre Fleury.Fleury made 33 saves, including several quality third-period stops while the Anaheim Ducks pressed for the tying goal, allowing Phil Kessels power-play goal in the second to stand as the game-winner in the Penguins 3-2 victory Saturday night.They threw a lot of pucks at the net from anywhere, Fleury said. They had guys around the net trying to screen and tip, but it worked out all right in the end.It has worked out for Fleury, too.Fleury, who led the Penguins to a Stanley Cup in 2009, lost his starting job to Matt Murray after sustaining the second of two concussions late in the regular season last spring. That opened the door for the 22-year-old Murray to backstop the Penguins to their fourth Stanley Cup in franchise history.Murray, however, broke his hand during the World Cup of Hockey and Fleury has stepped up in his absence, stopping 73 of 77 shots in two wins.Were not surprised by it, defenseman Trevor Daley said. Thats just Marc, thats the way he is. Hes a great goalie.Ian Cole and Conor Sheary also scored for the defending champion Penguins, who won their fourth straight home game against Anaheim and are 6-1 in their last seven games overall against the Ducks.Chris Kunitz got his 200th assist with the Penguins in his 500th game with the team. Kunitz, who was acquired from Anaheim in 2009, became the 18th player and fifth active to play 500 games with Pittsburgh.Anaheims Corey Perry scored his first of the season and 13th goal in 14 games against Pittsburgh. Cam Fowler scored on the power play for the Ducks, who havent won in Pittsburgh in more than four years.Jonathan Bernier stopped 42 shots in his debut with the Ducks after being acquired from Toronto in the offseason. Bernier got the start over Pittsburgh native John Gibson, who allowed six goals during each of the previous two starts in his hometown.We knew it would be a quick game with their speed and the way they like to play, Perry said. I thought we had a great start, but I thought we relaxed a little bit in the first period and they took it to us. We had to start playing catch-up.Crosby remains day-to-day wwith a concussion sustained during practice last week. Yoan Moncada Jersey. The Conn Smythe Trophy winner missed practice Friday, but skated on his own Saturday morning before sitting out the teams optional morning skate.Evgeni Malkin, the 2011-12 NHL MVP, had one assist to help the Penguins improve to 96-49-18 in 163 regular-season games without Crosby.The Ducks are still looking for their first win under returning coach Randy Carlyle, who is back on the bench for his second stint with the team. Carlyle, who was with the team from 2005-11, is the Ducks all-time winningest coach and led the franchise to a Stanley Cup in 2007.To me, its too early, Carlyle said. Our teams not playing to the level thats required right now from our group.Fleury turned aside 12 shots in the first 10 minutes, including a sharp pad save on Chris Wagner from the top of the crease. That allowed Cole to put the Penguins in front with a seeing-eye shot from the point.The Ducks tied it soon after, cashing in on a two-man advantage, as Fowler beat Fleury with a slap shot from the right faceoff dot.Shearys goal early in the second period gave the Penguins a 2-1 lead. Bernier misplayed the puck along the side of the net and Sheary scored after a scrum in front.The puck was kind of bouncing around the crease, Sheary said. The ref had a good angle and Im glad he didnt blow it down because Bernier didnt have possession. I kind of whacked away at it and it went in.Kessel extended the lead with a power-play goal, but Perry cut the deficit to 3-2 less than three minutes later. Fleury made the initial pad save off the faceoff, but Perry scored on the rebound.Fleury shut the door the rest of the way.I thought Marc was great and he made some timely saves when we broke down, Penguins coach Mike Sullivan said.Game notes The Penguins paid tribute to players from the franchises first decade on Saturday as part of a 50th-season celebration. ... Anaheim scratched Clayton Stoner, Simon Despres and Emerson Etem. Derrick Pouliot and Matt Murray were scratched for Pittsburgh.UP NEXTDucks: Continue a season-opening five-game road swing at the New York Islanders on Sunday.Penguins: Host Colorado on Monday.
