Barcelona have just finished a trophy-less season in which they fired two managers. They hired a new manager, Ronald Koeman, who has struggled at club level, and who has already
Last week I wrote an article about a signing that could make each top six Premier League club, with the exception of Liverpool, title contenders. That article did well so I am following that up with the player that each top six Premier League club needs to sell, and I will include Liverpool in this
