Champions Leagues knockout rounds, Barcelona visits Pamplona on Saturday | Forum

PITTSBURGH -- The Steelers are turning to a former top-10 pick approaching bust status for their cornerback help, acquiring?Justin Gilbert?in a trade with the Cleveland Browns. New York Giants Jerseys Outlet .The Steelers send a sixth-round pick in the 2018 draft to the Browns for the rights to Gilbert, the eighth overall pick in 2014 who has managed just 39 tackles in two seasons.Gilbert has had problems adjusting to NFL life. He failed to show up on time for several team meetings as a rookie, prompting then-Browns safety Donte Whitner to say publicly that Gilbert needed to grow up. Gilbert eventually told reporters he had a tendency to oversleep.A 6-footer with long arms, Gilbert can use his athleticism to help the Steelers zone-defense coverage, assuming he responds well to the new environment.The Steelers get much-needed corner depth behind William Gay, Ross Cockrell and Artie Burns?as?injuries to second-round pick Senquez Golson in back-to-back years have forced the team to get help.Before the 2015 season, the Steelers dealt a fifth-round pick to the?Philadelphia Eagles?in exchange for veteran corner Brandon Boykin, who didnt play a significant role for much of the year and is no longer with the team.The trade of Gilbert, who likely would have not made the team during final roster cuts, means the Browns have parted ways with both of their first-round picks from the 2014 draft, and they have none of their first-round picks on the roster from 2012 through 2014.Gone are QB Brandon Weeden (2012), RB Trent Richardson (12), LB Barkevious Mingo (13), QB Johnny Manziel (14) and now Gilbert.Gilbert was the first pick under coach Mike Pettine and general manager Ray Farmer, as the Browns traded down and out of taking receiver Sammy Watkins to take the player they thought was the best cornerback available.In Cleveland, Gilberts quirky personality never seemed to fit, and though he was effective as an occasional kickoff returner, he never came close to being the player he was touted to be when he was drafted.ESPN Staff Writer Pat McManamon contributed to this report. Darian Thompson Jersey .J. -- New York Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz will miss the rest of the season after having surgery on his left knee.

BARCELONA, Spain -- Fresh off scoring a hat trick, Turkey midfielder Arda Turan is hoping for another chance to prove he can play alongside Barcelonas best.With Neymar suspended for Saturdays Spanish league match at Osasuna, Turan is likely to take his spot next to Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez in the defending champions vaunted attack.Turan filled in superbly for Neymar on Tuesday when he scored his first hat trick for Barcelona to lead the team to a 4-0 victory over Borussia Moenchengladbach in the Champions League.The treble took Turans scoring total for the season to eight goals, making him Barcelonas third-leading scorer behind Messi (20) and Suarez (12).Even though nobody doubts Neymar is the more talented of the two, the Brazil striker has managed only six goals despite playing 400 minutes more than Turan this season.Neymars suspensions from both the `Gladbach and Osasuna matches were for accumulation of bookings in both competitions.Arda is scoring lots of goals. When he plays on the wing he has many skills he can draw on, Barcelona coach Luis Enrique said. He can also play in midfield. I am happy for him.Turan, however, has proven to be a tough piece for Luis Enrique to fit into Barcelonas talent-laden puzzle.As his coach said, Turan has impressed on the left side of the attack. But that spot has Neymars name stamped on it, and Turan has struggled when asked to play further back.While Turan flourishes when given space and the freedom to break down defenses, he looks uncomfortable in Barcelonas demanding precision passing approach.His unease with the defensive tasks that playing in midfield entails was clear in last weekends match against Real Madrid when Turan went on as a late substitute to help protect a one-goal lead.Instead, Turans foul on Marcelo conceded a dangerous free kick that Luka Modric didnt waste, placing a cross for Sergio Ramos to head in a 90th-minute equalizer and snatch a 1-1 draw that kept Madrid six points clear at the top of the Spanish table.Turan took a lot of hheat for that foul in the Barcelona sports media, meaning his three goals against `Gladbach couldnt have come at a better time. Carl Banks Jersey. We havent played well recently and havent gotten good results, Turan said. We tried to get the best possible result and play at our best (against `Gladbach).Now 29, Turan developed into one of the leagues top attacking midfielders through four seasons with Diego Simeone at Atletico Madrid, helping the once second-rate team become one of Europes best with league, Copa del Rey and Europa League titles.But when Barcelona called in 2015, Turan changed clubs despite knowing that he couldnt play until 2016 because of Barcelonas FIFA-imposed one-year ban on new players for breaking its transfer rules regarding underage players.The former Galatasaray standout also joined Barcelona well aware that competition for playing time, never mind a regular starting role, would be fierce with the likes of Messi, Suarez and, above all, Neymar.After failing to find a spot following his debut midway through last campaign, Turan made a promising start to this season when Neymar was away playing for Brazil.He scored twice in a Spanish Super Cup victory over Sevilla and notched Barcelonas first league goal of the season. But once Neymar was back from helping Brazil win the Olympic gold medal, Turan was back on the bench.The reserve role clearly didnt suit him. Only one of his goals this season has come as a substitute, when he sparked a 2-1 comeback at `Gladbach in September.Unlike this weeks second win over `Gladbach, which came with Barcelona already qualified for the Champions Leagues knockout rounds, Barcelona visits Pamplona on Saturday needing to break a run of three straight league draws.Promoted Osasuna appears to be the optimum rival to end that skid. It is in last place and hasnt won in seven home matches since its return to the first division.
