When Barry signed for Barca the club described him as "one of the best young players in English football". The Baggies were due to receive £235,000 in compensation but that money has never been paid despite West Brom reporting the matter to Fifa. The Championship promotion candidates now are assessing their options. In addition to the legal route, BBC Sport understands the club's chief executive Mark Jenkins is speaking with the Football League about the situation.
Odds are very good here on both the home win but also the over 2.5 goals bet and I say this even though the guests are just 2 points behind the 2nd placed club before this round starts while Adana is 9 points away from the 2nd placed club outside the play-off places but do have some interesting foreign players and plus in the second part of last season when they hosted this opponent they won the game with 3-1 in the end.

Andreas Brehme (West Germany/Germany) - 12 apps, 1 goal. Tournaments played in: 1984, 1988, 1992. Best finish: Runner-up (1992). The man whose penalty won the 1990 World Cup also had a handy record in the Euros. The left-back scored a rare beast on home soil in 1988 - an indirect free-kick inside the penalty area. An attacking force as well, no defender can match his number of 27 chances created. He never won the trophy though, being part of the side shocked by Denmark in 1992.
I don't care how, but they still always have to lose. Lawro was speaking to BBC Sport's Chris Bevan. How did Lawro do last time?Lawro and Doves frontman Jimi Goodwin are level on 40 points apiece after the first three games of this round of games. Jimi has also given scores for the remaining seven games from Monday to Wednesday, which will be added to his tally. In last week's midweek fixtures, Lawro beat DJ Nathan Dawe 80-30.
You can almost say he is undroppable at the moment," Solskjaer told reporters. The physical presence he gives us, the leadership he gives us in midfield, he also releases Fred. Spurs manager Jose Mourinho, who gave McTominay his breakthrough at United, said the Scottish midfielder was the difference between the two sides.
Chelsea have scored twice in three of their last four matches; while they have struggled defensively, they have been doing well upfront. After their loss to Manchester United, they will be keen to recover. Spurs on the other hand, have scored nine goals in their last five matches and we believe they will carry this form to the Chelsea clash. We expect goals here, also looking at the defensive performances of the two sides. Chelsea have not done so well at home lately, and Spurs have not lost in the last four away matches. They have showed a good fighting spirit lately and with the Jose Mourinho effect, playing at Stamford Bridge, they will be under special instructions. None of the last 10 meetings between the two has yielded a draw, but we foresee this one ending in shared spoils.
With English football suspended until at least April 30, the loss of matchday revenue has hit the clubs hard, especially in the lower leagues. On Tuesday, Birmingham became the first Championship side to ask their players to take wage deferrals, while League Two's Forest Green Rovers said they will use the government's wage-support scheme to keep paying all their staff.
The paper believes that with Paul Pogba on his way out of Old Trafford, Real might offer German international Toni Kroos in exchange for the French midfielder. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has grown frustrated with Pogba and the club could almost halve their £180m asking price. Paper Round’s view: Pogba showed some brilliant flashes of ability in his brief comeback for United but at this point the transfer has so utterly failed that it makes sense that both parties move on.
Petr Cech, John Terry, Michael Ballack, Michael Essien and Branislav Ivanovic - there were so many strong personalities and that was my first experience of being your best every day. You have to be concentrated and focused as a coach and deal with these type of professionals and athletes. That continued through the clubs. I remember how strong Zlatan was with his team-mates [at Paris St-Germain]. I have never seen anyone demand so much from his team-mates.
Lazio scored twice in the second half but also missed a penaltyGetty Images Juventus stayed second, two points behind Inter Milan, with 36 points from 15 games while Lazio, who are third, closed the gap on their opponents to three points after their seventh successive league win. Juventus dominated the opening exchanges and went ahead when Ronaldo's flicked pass released Rodrigo Bentancur on the right, the Uruguayan played a first-time pass into the area and Ronaldo turned the ball in from close range for his seventh league goal of the season.
Goalscorer Martinez was sent off in injury time for two quick-fire bookings, the second for dissent. Young, the first Englishman to play for Inter since Paul Ince in 1997, has now managed more assists in Serie A than the Premier League in the past year. He failed to set up a league goal in his final 31 appearances for United - a run going back to December 2018. Inter's slip-up gives Juventus the chance to extend their lead at the top to six points when they visit Napoli at 19:45 GMT.
The hosts average 0.83 goals per home game having only scored five times in front of their own fans this season. Willem II have netted eight times on the road so far this season which works out at 1.33 goals per game, and this is why we believe the visitors will pinch a 1-0 win this weekend. Under 2.5 goals have been produced in four of Den Haag’s last six matches as well as in three of Willem II’s last six outings, but the visitors have only lost one of those games while the hosts have been beaten in two of theirs.
Porto had a midweek game while Braga had no midweek activity, and fatigue may be a factor going to this game. Regardless, Porto stand out as favorites here. They have a better run and will be helped on by their run over Braga. While Porto are among the best defensive sides in the league, they have been conceding regularly lately. They have no clean sheet in the last four matches. Placed against Braga’s recent scoring form, we can expect both sides to score, and we will thus go for a 2-1 win for FC Porto.
50% of Porto’s home games have produced over 2.5 goals and only 17% of Santa Clara’s away games have produced over 2.5 goals. Porto have won-to-nil in all of their homes games and Santa Clara have failed to score in 50% of their away games, which ties in with our prediction for a 2-0 home win.
As for Spurs last season, they had little details for them. VAR [Video Assistant Referee] was with them [against Manchester City], the Lucas [Moura] goal in Amsterdam [against Ajax]. To arrive in the final is an achievement but not history. I love the competition as much as everyone in football. Not everyone has the privilege of being a Champions League winner. I have done it two times and would love to add a third.

Lawro's prediction: 2-0Georgia's prediction: 3-1 Bournemouth v Aston VillaBournemouth finally got back to winning ways last time out against Brighton but Aston Villa will be on a high after their Carabao Cup semi-final win. Villa have taken four points from their past two games in the Premier League too and I just have a feeling they will edge this one as well. Their win over Leicester to book their place at Wembley should really kick them on for the remainder of the season, because their players will be playing for a chance to start that final.
FIFPRO president Philippe Piat said players were "plunged into uncertainty and hardship" when their clubs closed down. Many of these clubs have shut to avoid paying outstanding wages, immediately re-forming as so-called new clubs," he said in the statement, describing the practice as unscrupulous. Roy Vermeer, the head of FIFPRO's legal department, told Reuters that the players -- often from Africa or South America -- struggled to find new clubs and had to make their own way back to their own country.
Home' games could rekindle spirit of Euro '96 If England win Group D, their last-16 tie would be in Dublin, with a potential quarter-final in Rome. If they finish second, it would be Copenhagen and St Petersburg. There are other possibilities if they finish third. There's always a party atmosphere in the country where a European Championship or World Cup is being held, with football fans from all over the world mingling and generally having a good time.
Lecce have a tough run of matches as the Serie A takes shape following a three-month break and they have a tough away trip to Juventus this Friday. Ahead of the game, Juventus top the standings with 66 points while Lecce have so far managed 25 points, in 18th place. Juventus have had a rough run in the Coppa Italia, failing to score against Milan and going on to lose to Napoli in the final.
Nasarawa will be meeting with the away team Abia and this game we have given it a draw as this two teams the home team have won 4 games and the away team have won 3 games but this two teams have played 7 games and in this 7 games they have not given as a draw and so we can say that this will be a very sure bet of today as the away team is also a very strong team but they will not win this game but they will not lose and so this is a very sure bet
Another very interesting match from Norway elite league and I will bet on goals, what is pretty real to expect. So, Alesund is team who is in this moment solid and they are team who is in the middle of the table, mostly - probably will be similar scenario and this season. Molde, on the other side is team who is champion and last season, they are played great football, what is also expect and this season. We will see what will happen and this time, but for me, goals are very real and in this case, I see, 2-2 or 2-1 for one of rivals.
But I didn't know I was going to end up playing for England as much as I have. Life goals?"I want to have a family. I say to the girls at Lyon every day, I want a baby. I've turned 28 but it's going to have to wait a bit longer. That's a goal in life. I was brought up in a great family and it's something I cherished more than anything growing up. When have you been star struck?"[Meeting] Lionel Messi at the awards ceremonies, David Beckham too.
Barcelona, who sit top of the table ahead of Real on goal difference, head to bottom side Leganes earlier on Saturday. The minnows caused a shock last season with a stunning 2-1 victory against the Catalans, and will be hoping to take advantage of their opponents' mixed start to the season to spring another surprise.
In the modern game you'd pick him because he would be able to get on the ball and build from the back. Paul McGrath: Paul was an incredible player, world class. If I had to pick out the world class players I played with, Paul would be number one. Paul McStay: He had this unbelievable ability to take the ball down in any situation. A brilliant player. Roy Keane: Roy was a difficult guy to get to know.
The Cumbrians have only managed three wins on home soil so far in the league this season and after failing to find the back of the net in each of their previous three home league matches, it is easy to see why. It is not as if that is a record which has just been a recent issue either as they have failed to score in half of their league matches at Brunton Park this term.
Well nothing is still done here and Lech are in must win position if they want to finish at the 2nd or at the 3rd spot. They won at their previous match against Piast Gliwice and that match was crucial because now Piast who is at the 2nd spot have only 1 point more than Lech and with the performances that Lech Poznan is showing lately and with the momentum at their side I think they will finish at that 2nd spot and be vice - champions for sure. Pogon on the other hand are at the 8th spot and are playing for completely nothing.
Usually you don't get a lot of chances against us, but now we have to admit that in the last three games, maybe four, we have conceded too many goals," Klopp said. Look, it went our way for so long because we defended outstandingly. Down in 18th place, Bournemouth have lost their last five league games to Liverpool conceding 17 goals without response, and will be wary of a backlash that could hurt their hopes of escaping the drop zone.
well in this game I think both teams have nothing to lose,Toulon is still without a victory the whole season and on the other side gazelec Ajaccio did not won for a very long time and also they did not score a goal on 4 games in a row, so I think none of them will defend and despite how bad they are I think they will provide to us interesting and fun game to watch with a lot of goals on both sides and when I say a lot I mean 3 or more and the odd is really good!
Posted at 63' Jacob Brown (Barnsley) wins a free kick in the defensive half. Posted at 63' Foul by Darnell Fisher (Preston North End). Middlesbrough and Birmingham City's draw in the Championship ended in frenetic fashion as the Blues felt they were controversially denied a late winning goal. Lukas Jutkiewicz poked in from close range with three minutes to go but referee Andy Woolmer had already stopped play seconds earlier after Jude Bellingham accidentally collided with Marcus Tavernier, leaving Tavernier down on the ground.
FRIDAY’S BIG HEADLINES Chelsea seal deal for Ajax's 'wizard' All it took was one summer being banned from making transfers for Chelsea to forget how the transfer window system works entirely. A fortnight after the January window closed to the sound of steam escaping from a frustrated Frank Lampard’s ears, Chelsea made the first big signing of the summer yesterday when sealing a £36m deal for Ajax star Hakim Ziyech.

The Gunners, as Arsenal is commonly called, are showing variable form lately. In their last 5 league clashes, they had 1 win, 2 draws and 2 defeats. Before that slight dip in form, they did much better, and that is the reason why they are still positioned quite well in the standings, they are placed 6th, with 17 points and 16:17 goal ratio. They must be looking forward to clashing with a weaker opponent and having a perfect opportunity for grabbing all the points. We will definitely see them score some goals in this affair, as they netted 9 and allowed 7 in their last 5 league meetings.
They were concerned after the loss that manager Claudio Ranieri wouldn't let them go. The Italian was too smart for that. He let them go, they bonded, had a few orange juices and came back the strongest and most determined group I've witnessed. They would protect their 18-yard box like Michelangelo did his pepperoni pizza. That loss at Arsenal was sandwiched between other moments in an incredible February when the penny was starting to drop.
Sporting Gijon is currently ranked 10th in the Spanish Division 2 with 45 points, 4 points behind the sixth team but playing less than one match. Therefore, they will be determined to beat Real Oviedo in round 34 to close to the top 6 - the play-off group is promoted to promotion.
He replaces Marco Silva at Goodison Park who was sacked after 18 months in charge earlier this month. Excited to share the news that I am joining Everton FC," Ancelotti tweeted.

Having lost just 1 of their last 8 Serie A matches, winning 4 times in the process, Fortaleza look set for a strong end to the campaign. Coming into the season as a newly promoted side, the objective was merely to remain in the league but currently inside the Copa Sudamericana places with a 5 point margin for error, it looks like Tricolor will be going on a continental adventure in 2020.
Arsenal full-back Sead Kolasinac "suffered a significant right shoulder injury" during Sunday's 3-2 win against Everton. The Bosnia-Herzegovina international came off after 18 minutes and Arsenal say he will "undergo further specialist assessments". Kolasinac, 26, has played 20 games for the Gunners this season. Arsenal host Olympiakos on Thursday, taking a 1-0 lead into the second leg of the Europa League last-32 tie.

I'm the coach, someone needs to decide," Tuchel told a news conference. It's going to stay like this. On sporting matters I'll always be the one who decides. We're not playing tennis but football. You need to have respect for everyone. Substitute Edinson Cavani thought he had netted his 199th PSG goal in a rare appearance this season, but it was ruled out for offside.
