The football blog for fans of all clubs
The nation’s love affair with the January transfer window seems to be over. This year saw no £50 million moves, no players driving to rival clubs, and no one leaning out of car windows. The pros and cons of the windows are something people can discuss at length. It can unsettle a team if their […]
