November 30, -0001 • 12:00 AM

The off-season in football is quickly become a nonentity. The overhanging World Cup in Brazil has undoubtedly played a role in altering the fixture list but the months of speculation and transfer nonsense are quickly becoming lost in modern football's canvas.

November 30, -0001 • 12:00 AM

November 30, -0001 • 12:00 AM
