A few years back now, I entertained the idea that football could soon follow American sports by essentially getting rid of transfer fees. With more and more players looking to move on free transfers, the next logical step was either inserting reasonable release clauses into every single contract or accepting that a player will...
Since returning to the Premier League, Mohamed Salah has been utterly dominant. The Liverpool No.11 has claimed back to back Golden Boot awards and when the 2019/20 campaign was paused, the Egyptian had 16 goals to his name. A third Golden Boot was unlikely but not impossible. Remarkable considering he played a large chunk...
Excuse the pun, but Timo Werner's decision to join Chelsea came out of the blue.

Whilst Atletico Madrid and Watford are the two...
With the global COVID-19 pandemic already having a major impact on football finances, the free transfer and loan markets could be used extensively as clubs look to strengthen their squads from a place of diminished monetary power.
Liverpool, who will lose on out on both matchday revenue -- with fans, like in every other stadium,...
This week marked the five year anniversary of James Milner's arrival at Liverpool, making the switch from Manchester City on a free transfer.
