Anzhi Makhachkala footballer Gasan Magomedov shot and killed in Russia
• Young midfielder died after machine-gun attack on car
• Club says no arrests made and motive for attack is unclear

Gasan Magomedov, a 20-year-old midfielder for the Russian club Anzhi Makhachkala, has been shot and killed near his home in the volatile North Caucasus.

In a statement, Anzhi said Magomedov had been driving near his home on Saturday night when his car was hit by machine-gun fire. He died while being taken to hospital. No arrests have been made and the motive for the attack is unclear.

Magomedov was a regular for Anzhi’s youth and reserve teams.

The Russian region of Dagestan, where the attack took place, has a long-running Islamist insurgency.

Anzhi challenged for the Russian title in recent years but were relegated to the second tier last season. For several years, it had a policy of basing star players – such as Samuel Eto’o, now with Everton – in Moscow to avoid Dagestan’s security risks.

Robbie Keane is said to be amongst a hundred footballers to fall victim to an investment con.

20% a month and they don't smell a rat? They must be thicker than the thickest pig ****. No sympathy at all.

Should have sought that advice before investing.

I doubt the words Oldham and Athletic have ever been used together when describing Dunk.

First he wasn't going to the African nations.

Then he was.

Now this.

Incredibly it sounds like Oldham have pulled the plug on the Ched Evans deal.

[Venton]

Why did they do it in the first place? It beggars belief that they didn't wait until CCRC had finished. Looking at it from a purely empirical perspective they get all of the flak from employing a convicted rapist as one of their entertainers, and a journeyman footballer who hasn't played for 3 years in return. Looks like a bad deal all round.

[Shaggy]

Well in purely football terms it would've been a hell of a coup for them. Sheff Utd paid £3m for him not that long ago. 15 or so caps for Wales. Oldham just don't sign players like that. So you can maybe see why they might've felt it was a risk worth taking.

But yeah, all things considered it's madness. It strikes me as simple - wait until the review is over, if it goes in his favour he can resume as he pleases. If not, find another career.
