Even with only 12 months left on his contract there will be several Premier League clubs after him including all three promoted clubs. £30 million won’t be too far off the mark. O...

Vitinho takes a run up as though he’s going to throw like Rory Delap used to do for Stoke. He takes a long run up, but then rather than drag a foot to make sure his body is still moving forward he stops with two feet together, negating the need to have made the run up at all. It’s weird to watch.
