Ilkay Gundogan heaped praise on former Manchester City teammate Bernardo Silva during his presentation at Barcelona, who want to sign the Portugal international this summer. Barcelona prioritised a free move for Gundogan and have now turned their attention to other targets, including Silva, who has long been towards the top of the wish lists of those in charge at Camp Nou. Silva, 28, has two years remaining on his City contract and has made it clear he would like to leave the Premier League champions this summer. City will not stand in his way but will only entertain offers of around £75m - likely too high for Barcelona. Predictably, Gundogan was asked about Silva during his unveiling in Catalonia, but the German midfielder did his best to keep tight-lipped. He is an incredible player, I think he has many qualities to be a high-level player but he has a contract with City, so I can say little," Gundogan said. "The rest is not in my hands.

Jurrien Timber has revealed his ability to play Arsenal's style of Football is the reason the Gunners signed him this summer. Arsenal announced the £40m signing of Timber from Ajax at the end of last week, ending the Dutchman's near decade-long association with de Godenzonen at both youth and senior level. The defender is one of three major signings Mikel Arteta's side have made this summer thus far, also forking out £65m to sign Kai Havertz from Chelsea and a British record transfer fee to secure the services of Declan Rice from West Ham. Speaking to the club's official website about why Arsenal decided to sign him, Timber pointed to the similar tactics he enjoyed at Ajax as key to making the move. He said: "I can see a lot of similarities, especially in the way Arsenal and Ajax want to play. Of course, this is a bigger league and everything is bigger here, I can see that immediately. This is the way they teach you in the youth already, and I'm happy I got t...

Former Sens. Joe Lieberman and Doug Jones on Sunday faced-off in a debate over the viability of No Labels' potential bipartisan third-party presidential ticket in 2024 Former Sens. Joe Lieberman and Doug Jones on Sunday faced-off in a debate over the viability of a bipartisan third-party presidential ticket in 2024 and whether that effort could serve as a spoiler in the race for the White House. Lieberman, a Democrat-turned-independent who represented Connecticut, is a founding chair of No Labels, which is preparing a possible "unity" ticket that would include both parties -- offering another option for those voters dissatisfied with a potential rematch between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump. "We're in this to give the majority of the American people who feel that the major two parties are failing them a third choice, both in policies, such as we're going to release in New Hampshire tomorrow, but also possibly in a third candidate,...

Off the Northeast U.S. coast, signs of the nascent wind industry are all around NEW BEDFORD, Massachusetts -- One early morning this week in ocean waters off the coasts of Rhode Island and New York, signs of the nascent wind industry were all around. Giant upright steel tubes poked from the water, waiting for ships to hoist up turbines that will make electricity driven by wind. A battleship-gray vessel was on the prowl. In this ramp-up for U.S. offshore wind, American marine companies and mariners fear they’ll be left behind. So Aaron Smith, president of the Offshore Marine Service Association, was looking through binoculars to see whether ships servicing the new wind farms were using foreign-flagged vessels instead of U.S.-made ships with American crews. “It really makes me upset when I think about the men and women I know who can do this work. American citizens, fully capable, sitting at home while foreign nationals go to work in U.S. waters,” Smith said. “It’s unfair." The sh...
