Obviously things are getting a little busy here in my happy household, between the holidays and family obligations and all the rest.

Who Should Stay and Who Should Go?

By: Ted | Comments 30 Comments

As many readers of the Fiorentina page have been discussing this week, at least when not making photo manipulations of me as Gollum, (thanks, Slakas; I thought we were friends) Fiorentina’s elimination from the Champions League has led to a ton of speculation about potential transfer moves coming January 1st.
