Just seen an article on the Beeb sport website about players still without contracts. As the new season approaches, it highlights the fact that not all players are able to hold clubs in limbo over their future and 'mercenaries' who are happy from move to club to club in search of the bigger and better deal are very few and far between.
Obviously in some cases.. it is their own fault, through greed, through agent interference.. whatever.. but it was interesting to see how many so called 'top' players are still left hanging..
the full article is here.. and sorry if this has been posted about already!

I'd be fairly confident of a lower half of the table finish with that team.

How's Upson free?! Would be perfect for us after selling Jones. Unless he's distantly related to Jerome Anderson though I doubt Venkys will be interested.
