Carlisle United Ready to Offer Mark Gillespie a New Contract, Says Keith Curle

Carlisle United Ready to Offer Mark Gillespie a New Contract, Says Keith Curle

Carlisle United manager Keith Curle says that the club are expecting offers for goalkeeper Mark Gillespie in January.


Hence, they are preparing to offer a new contract for the 24-year-old, who has already been scouted by a number of clubs this season. While the manager says that he would like to complete negotiations and extend the player’s contract before the end of December, the finances at the club will have a major role to play.Curle is aware about the interest in Gillespie largely because those who have attended the games to watch Carlisle United players are goalkeeping coaches.

Gillespie is an attractive option for clubs across the English league considering that he will be available on a free transfer in the summer. Rather than lose him for nothing, Carlisle United are likely to accept a small compensation in the January transfer window.

LEICESTER CITY MUST WAIT ONE MORE DAY FOR FIRST ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE TROPHY

LEICESTER CITY MUST WAIT ONE MORE DAY FOR FIRST ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE TROPHY

English Premier League surprise squad, Leicester City must wait at least one more day for its first English Premier League title.

This is as a result of the draw against Manchester United at Old Trafford. Had the team won the game, the premier league title would have been sealed off. Manchester United led first but the resilient Foxes fought hard to pick a very crucial point.


The team would be crowned champions if second-placed Tottenham Hotspur, which trails Leicester by eight points, fail to beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. Spurs would have a tough job as the Bridge is a place where they have not won since 1990.

After the game, Leicester City player Wes Morgan said:

“It was very tough. Manchester United dominated possession and we had to dig in and be resilient.

“It’s a point and it’s a step in the right direction.

“It proved to be an important goal and to score at Old Trafford was a great feeling. It’s not ours until we get two hands on the trophy.”

Leicester finished the game with 10 men after Drinkwater was sent off for a second bookable offence five minutes from time meaning he would miss Leicester’s next game at home to Everton, when victory will secure the title even if Tottenham beats Chelsea.

Chelsea only needs 3 more league wins but Mourinho still doesn’t want to celebrate

Chelsea reinforced their position at the top of the Premier League after defeating Manchester United with a narrow 1-0 victory. The only goal of the entire match was scored by Eden Hazard at the 38th minute. Even though it was Manchester United the team that lost, they had the upper hand in possession as the team of Louis van Gaal had 70% of possession and more shots being fired from the players hailing from Old Trafford.

 

Even with the dominance that Manchester United had implanted into the game, they still lost the match as Chelsea continues their run for their 5th Premier League title.

 

There are a total of 6 Premier League matches left in the season that Chelsea has to play before the campaign reaches its end and with an advantage of 10 points, Jose Mourinho and his men are in a very comfortable position as they only have to win 3 more matches and it will be enough for them to be crowned as the champions of England.
