Daily Post Nigeria Transfer: Getafe in talks to sign Sadiq Home News Politics Metro Entertainment Sport Sport Transfer: Getafe in talks to sign Sadiq Published on December 23, 2024 By Mike Oyebola Getafe is in talks with Real Sociedad for Nigeria international Umar Sadiq. Jose Bordalos’ side is looking to sign a new striker when the transfer window reopens in January. Getafe want to sign the lanky striker on loan until the end of the season. The 27-year-old joined Real Sociedad from Almeria for €20m in 2022. The striker has battled for minutes at the club. He has interest from clubs in Spain and France.

Only a positive book can be written on the merits about Trump’s historic political revival — not a negative screed, he said. “My books were favorable to Reagan because the facts were favorable to Reagan. This book will be favorable to Trump because the facts are favorable to Trump,” Shirley, 68, said. The book will be laid out chronologically because every day of Trump’s comeback bid was “an exciting day,” he said. Shirley said he will also examine cultural wars that benefitted Trump, such as the fight over transgender rights. He pointed to the conservative backlash and boycott against Budweiser’s “Bud Light” beer after it had transgender actress and TikTok personality Dylan Mulvaney promote its brand as a turning point. Trump’s 2024 campaign aides have already indicated they will work with Shirley. “The remarkable history of the 2024 Donald Trump campaign is too important to be left to rank amateurs and leftists with an agenda. That is why we are working with the consummate historian and Reagan biographer Craig Shirley, who we know will record the facts as they are in his book, ‘Comeback,'” said one of Trump’s campaign pollsters, John McLaughlin. “As Shirley has proven time and time again, he is dedicated to facts and not biases, rumors and conjecture.” It comes after senior campaign staffers issued a joint statement Wednesday saying they will refuse to work with author Michael Wolff on his book about Trump’s re-election. “A number of us have received inquiries from the disgraced author Michael Wolff, whose previous work can only be described as fiction. He is a known peddler of fake news who routinely concocts situations, conversations, and conclusions that never happened,” the statement said. “As a group, we have decided not to respond to his bad faith inquiries, and we encourage others to completely disregard whatever nonsense he eventually publishes. Consider this our blanket response to whatever he writes.” Shirley has long been active in Republican and conservative causes. His father, Edward, was a founding member of the New York Conservative Party.
In a clash that could affect the race for the title and promotion, Sunderland are set to host West Bromwich Albion on Tuesday at the Stadium of Light in their 17th Championship fixture of the campaign. The hosts are second in the table with 32 points and drew 1-1 draw with Millwall on Saturday, while the visitors are sixth with 26 points after 16 games and drew 2-2 with Norwich City on November 23. Sunderland are currently level on points with first-placed Leeds, and though both sides have conceded just 12 times, the Black Cats' tally of 26 goals scored is two fewer than the league leaders. These returns mean that Tuesday's hosts rank as the division's third best offensive and joint fourth best defensive team. The Black Cats controlled the first half against Millwall, taking the lead after 10 minutes while limiting their opponents to just one shot, but they eventually succumbed to the Lions in the second half when they conceded a 93rd-minute equaliser. Manager Regis Le Bris suggested that his side would have taken three points against Millwall had the team used the ball better, telling reporters: ""We won the first contacts often and after the second ball, we often were not able to keep the ball when it was possible. We had a big space to exploit, as was the case just before the equaliser." Le Bris's players have not experienced defeat in their last nine games, but they have failed to achieve victory in any of their past four matches. Sunderland have also drawn two of their three most recent fixtures at the Stadium of Light, though they are unbeaten in their seven home games this term, winning five. Opponents West Brom produced double Norwich's total of 11 shots, though both teams had an equal share of possession and created two big chances. Manager Carlos Corberan said that he believed his team edged proceedings, but noted his displeasure with his side's defensive display, saying: "The team has taken a positive step in attack but at the same time we have suffered more chances and goals than we want to suffer in the first half." The Baggies occupy the final promotion playoff spot in the Championship thanks to having better goal difference than seventh-placed Watford. Interestingly, while West Brom's return of 18 goals scored is the worst among the sides in the top 13, their record of 11 goals conceded is only bettered by third-placed Sheffield United and fourth-placed Burnley. Corberan will be alarmed by the Baggies' form, as while they have not lost in eight games, they failed to score on four occasions in that period, drawing seven times. West Brom have also only won once in their five most recent away outings, losing once and being held to a stalemate three times. The hosts will be unable to call upon forwards Ahmed Abdullahi and Ian Poveda , while Aaron Connolly is a doubt due to a knock. In their absence, Eliezer Mayenda , Milan Aleksic and Tom Watson could start behind striker Wilson Isidor . Sunderland are also set to be without defenders Jenson Seelt and Niall Huggins , as well as midfielder Salis Abdul Samed , so expect to see a backline consisting of Luke O'Nien , Chris Mepham , Daniel Ballard and Ajibola-Joshua Alese . However, Jobe Bellingham is set to return after serving the last of his three-match suspension against Millwall, and he will almost certainly partner Dan Neil in a double pivot. West Brom will have to cope with the absence of right-back Darnell Furlong , who is suspended as a result of accumulating too many yellow cards, and he may be replaced by Reece Hall . Centre-backs Kyle Bartley , Patrick McNair and Semi Ajayi are unlikely to appear again until early December, and perhaps the away side will deploy Mason Holgate and Torbjorn Heggem in the heart of defence. Striker Daryl Dike has also been ruled out until the middle of next month, and this could mean Karlan Grant and Josh Maja continue to lead the forward line. Sunderland possible starting lineup: Patterson; O'Nien, Mepham, Ballard, Alese; Bellingham, Neil; Mayenda, Aleksic, Watson; Isidor West Bromwich Albion possible starting lineup: Palmer; Hall, Holgate, Heggem, Styles; Fellows, Molumby, Mowatt, Johnston; Maja, Grant Despite West Brom scoring twice last time out, they have found difficulties in front of goal recently and it would not be surprising if they failed to score once again. However, Sunderland have struggled for victories in the past weeks and though the hosts will no doubt be buoyed by their home crowd, Tuesday's clash will likely be a close affair.

In the latest Rasmussen Reports survey shared with Secrets, 68% of Republicans support the appointment. Overall, however, the nation is divided on Hegseth. Rasmussen said that 40% of likely voters want him confirmed, while 39% don’t. Democrats and liberals are driving the anti-Hegseth push. The survey found that by a margin of 61%-21%, Democrats do not support confirmation. The no vote reaches 71% among liberals. The partisan divide on whether voters have a favorable or unfavorable opinion was also evident. While the country was split, with 36% having a favorable view and 27% an unfavorable view, the partisan numbers were more jarring. Among Republicans, 52% have a favorable opinion, while just 24% of Democrats said the same thing. Notably, 25% of Democrats said that they have a “very unfavorable” opinion. SEE THE LATEST POLITICAL NEWS AND BUZZ FROM WASHINGTON SECRETS Reports today suggest that Hesgeth, who is fighting off media reports of boozing and womanizing, is struggling to keep his nomination alive because some Republican senators who will vote on his nomination have been lukewarm. The poll could help his efforts if his public supporters start to weigh in on Republicans.
TEHRAN - Siasat-e-Rooz devoted its editorial to the words of the Leader of the Revolution about the Axis of Resistance. The paper said: The Leader of the Revolution pointed to the issue of proxy forces that is always raised and emphasized by the media and Western and regional authorities, saying "The Islamic Republic of Iran does not need a proxy force." The forces that are members of the resistance front are the forces that existed even before the revolution and have been fighting against the Zionist regime. With the Islamic revolution in Iran, the forces of the resistance front gained strength and power, and Iran supported them because of their resistance against the common enemy, which is Israel, America, and their allies. The forces of the Resistance Front are not proxy forces of Iran. But proxy forces are obedient to America. They do not do anything without American’s permission. Currently, complex changes are on the way, and these changes will be formed by strengthening the resistance front and its course will be changed, as predicted by the Leader of the Revolution. In an analysis, Jam-e-Jam dealt with the meeting of the American and European delegations with HTS leader al-Julani in Damascus and wrote: It must be said that America has always sought to expand its dominance and influence in the West Asia region and the countries member to the Axis of Resistance. This issue has two main reasons: one is to weaken the growing power of the Axis of Resistance centered on Iran, and the second is to secure the interests of arrogant countries through looting the property and natural resources of those countries, such as Syria. But another important point in these meetings and exchange of messages is that it shows special coordination in the West, America, and Israel to put pressure on Syria and public opinion to prevent the presence of Iran in Syria, and this only shows they are fearful of Iran’s positive and powerful presence in the region. The West and America have not yet understood that if Iran is present anywhere, it is to fight terrorism. The pressure by the West, particularly the United States, on the new rulers of Syria is to reduce the strength of the resistance front and prevent the increase of Iran's power and influence in the region as Iran has always been the frontrunner in the fight against terrorism and domination by America and the Zionist regime in the region. In a note, Donya-e-Eqtesad addressed Iran's absence in the global competition for corridors. It wrote: Iran has been practically ignored in major projects such as China's Belt and Road and Trans-Caspian projects. Various corridors for trade have been proposed and built in the region in recent years. Iran should take first place in both the Middle Corridor (also called TITR - Trans-Caspian International Transport Route and INSTC, but it has lagged behind its neighbors, forcing rivals and even allies such as China and Russia to look for alternatives. Due to Iran's delay in completing the Rasht-Astara railway, China chose the Trans-Caspian alternative to deliver goods through Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, and Georgia to the Black Sea, Turkey, and Europe. Due to some tensions in Iran-Azerbaijan relations over Azerbaijan's plans to build the so-called Zangezur Corridor, Baku is less willing to facilitate the operation of the INSTC corridor through Iran. Therefore, Iran is losing money in this lucrative area and is losing a key tool to replace oil revenues. Hamshahri wrote: "Isolation of Iran in the region" is one of the main approaches pursued by the Washington-Tel Aviv axis in recent months. This policy has gained momentum with the fall of the Assad government in Syria. Accordingly, confronting Iran's role in the future of Syria has been determined. While developments in Syria are still the focus of international and regional media, the Americans are implementing a new anti-Iran project in Damascus. According to this strategy, we have witnessed extensive actions from the Zionist-Western axis to realize it. In such a situation, however, the realities in the region show that the approach of isolating Iran has not achieved results for the enemy, and the Islamic Republic of Iran is advancing its political-economic diplomacy at regional and international levels with an ever-increasing dynamism. An example is the recent visit of the Iranian President to Egypt.PM Shehbaz tasks newly-formed panel with PPP-PML-N 'fence-mending'
