-League clubs for allowinng the rule change,

Two teams at very different stages of their development meet at Goodison Park on the opening day of the new Premier League season.Hosts Everton have undergone a managerial and ownership overhaul since they last played Saturdays visitors Tottenham Hotspur. And the Toffees are still in the process of rebuilding their own squad with John Stones recently departed in a ￡47.5 million move to Manchester City.In contrast, Mauricio Pochettinos Spurs have enjoyed a summer of stability, not losing any first-team players and strengthening the squad with the additions of defensive midfielder Victor Wanyama and Dutch international striker Vincent Janssen. Pochettinos side flirted with a Premier League title challenge last season before falling away and finishing third, but the coach is expecting his young group of players to learn from the experience and improve over the coming campaign.It is true that at the end of the season we felt very disappointed in the way that we finished the Premier League, but if we are clever we need to improve from our mistakes and we need to show that we are clever, Pochettino said. We have a big challenge ahead because now we have to repeat our performance, try to improve and play Champions league, which for a lot of players is a new competition.It is a good opportunity. We keep the same team, the same players, I dont think there are a lot of changes around the changing room and in the squad and I think that can help us.Spurs may be stable and have an existing style of play, but Everton are far from settled.Ronald Koeman is attempting to rebuild the Toffees squad after taking over from Roberto Martinez, but has not made as many changes as he would have liked heading into the opening weekend. Only centre-back Ashley Williams and Idrissa Gueye are notable additions.The squad will be 100 percent in two or three weeks, but if I compare the physical state of the players in numbers here it is 70 percent and at (Koemans previous club Southampton) it was 100 percent. Its a big project. That project wont be complete after two months, we need more time. We are not at the level we need to be in terms of the players and their physical state, he added. Id say we are 70 percent of where we need to be from a physical point of view. We will improve.Everton go into the game with doubts over the fitness of key players Romelu Lukaku and Seamus Coleman and are without midfielder Muhamed Besic after the midfielder picked up a knee injury in preseason.Spurs only injury doubt is over central defender Jan Vertonghen, although English trio Harry Kane, Dele Alli and Eric Dier are all a few weeks from full match fitness after being given extended time off following their European Championship exertions.Everton have not beaten Spurs in the last seven Premier League meetings, but no top-flight club has ever lost as many opening weekend matches (nine) as the north London club.

Are Football Federation Australias two major concessions to Melbourne City enough to get out the mega-rich A-League clubs chequebook to sign Tim Cahill?The introduction of a new guest player role has been tailor made for the veteran Socceroo, and FFA chief executive David Gallop admitted as much on Wednesday.Im not calling it the Tim Cahill rule but I can understand if others might, he said.Cahill, 36, has been the most marketable Socceroo - and perhaps Australian sportsman full stop - for the best part of a decade.Since he left English Premier League club Everton four years ago, it has been a bone of contention that he chose to continue his career in the US and China over the A-League.Recognising this transfer window may be their last shot to see Cahill play in the league, FFA is pulling out all the stops.We all know there are discussions going on with Tim Cahill, he said.Were looking at a range of measures to make it attractive to him.The rules are now in place to accommodate that and its something were very keen to see.People love seeing big stars and certainly Tim would be a huge star in the A-League.Gallop praised the other nine A-League clubs for allowinng the rule change, saying it showed maturity and an understanding everyone would benefit from the move.ddddddddddddCity, which began pre-season training this week, have declined to comment on their interest in Cahill.Along with the guest player concession approved this week, FFA have also allowed Melbourne City to rebrand their playing strips to match the blue of parent club Manchester City.A differentiation has been made between Sydney FCs Sky Blue and Citys City Blue, which has been mocked heartily on social media.The difference might not show up on a colour swab, but Gallop explained it was about branding.City have made it clear that Sky Blue is not an expression that theyre interested in. City Blue is, he said.Its a smart move for the A-League ... the global identity of Manchester City perhaps wasnt being fully utilised.Gallop also said he expected to appoint a new A-League chief to replace departed executive Damien de Bohun shortly.Were deep into the process and weve got a small number of people still in the running, he said.
