Deal or No Deal: Two Years or Less - Tread Carefully
Deal or No Deal?
There’s been a bit of a developing habit with Liverpool around players whose contracts have run down in recent years. We’ve all seen, enjoyed and been emotional at the send-offs for Bobby, Milly and co before, whilst we’ll steer away from the departure of others.
