Forget New Year’s Eve, Mercato Eve Is Where It’s At.
By: chris |Mercato Time
While everyone else opened up their gifts a week ago, time for the football clubs to open up their wallets and do a little gift giving of their own. Mostly to themselves, which is the best way to do it. Roma’s a little tough this year because the constant rash of injuries have wiped [...]
