Max Duggan’s painful admission on Georgia National Championship loss ahead of NFL Draft
Crystal Palace should avoid being dragged into a relegation battle, but despite being in a similar position in the table it feels like they are not quite hitting the same heights that they reached 12 months ago, and their transfer window was a little disappointing as well. La liga transfer window Nottingham Forest signed an almost entirely new squad in the summer but business continued into the winter window as Steve Cooper seeks to capitalise on an upturn in form, with goalkeeper Keylor Navas an eye-catching arrival.
Premier league in and out
Lucas Digne has been among the Premier League’s best left-backs recently. A consistent performer for most of his Everton career, Digne flattered to deceive this campaign. A move was imminent, and the Merseyside club couldn’t help but accept Aston Villa’s €30 million bid for the player. Championship transfers, player fees, contracts and market values “You have the spend of the Premier League on a net basis at £1.5bn over the course of the season and then when you look at the other big five leagues as a collective, they’re actually in a net receipts position – so they’re actually receiving more from the sale of players than what they’re spending on players, which is quite stark (compared) to what you see in the Premier League,” said Calum Ross, assistant director in Deloitte’s Sports Business Group.
