Takeover

[Ministry Of Silly Signings]

Maybe we will see a big increase in `Free Agents`. I remember a debate on 5 Live on deadline day a few years back, pundits saying , basically, lets feel sorry for Prem players who find themselves without a club. One, I can`t remember who, said he had not been offered a new deal by Southampton or whoever, and now found himself unemployed. This player said he`d had offers from Barnsley, Charlton, Blackburn etc, but, `wages were an issue`. Maybe he should accept that , as a 32 year old ex Prem player, he can no longer expect £ 70 / 80,000 a week, & £ 7 / 8,000 at one of those clubs is better than dole money.
