January is drawing to a close, which means there will be a mad scramble for remaining free agents that have been left to twist in the wind.

Speaking on Cadena SER, Manuel Jabois delivered a sharp warning about Real Madrid’s current state and the potential reaction at the Bernabeu if results continue to falter. “One of the stupid advantages of being knocked out of the Copa del Rey is lightening the calendar and they ruined that themselves through carelessness, through neglect,” Jabois […]
