I started a piece at the beginning of December, and, funnily enough, the topic still stands today. Even though, I feel had I sent it our at the start of December I would have received my […]

The January transfer window shut only two days ago, but speculations are already gathering pace about possible high profile summer transfers. Let’s be honest.
