Everton’s recent slump in results has been matched with a decline in form from their number one Maarten Stekelenburg.

One issue that can harm a team’s morale is having too many players at the club that can’t see a future there. At Manchester United, Jose Mourinho still has too much deadwood in his squad. It would be better for all involved if he can cut loose these players and allow them the opportunity to […]

If you believe the media then Chelsea’s manager elect Antonio Conte and Manchester City’s in coming boss Pep Guardiola both want to add Juventus defender Leonardo Bonucci to their new sides.
