LIVERPOOL are watching the situation at Chelsea with midfielder Oscar, according to the Daily Hate. Juventus are also reported to be watching the Brazilian, 23, but Sky Sports have run a story this afternoon saying the £25m signing from Internacional is happy at...
PLAYER contracts: worth the paper they’re written on? In the modern game they are there to serve a triple purpose — remunerate the player, provide him with an exit strategy (release clause) and to help the owning/selling club ‘protect’ the...
