Paul Fletchers article on BBC Sport - quote "
The Professional Footballers' Association's comprehensive list of free agents' is as lengthy as it is depressing.
It took me ages to plough through the 31-page list of players who are out of contract. I was driven on by an almost morbid fascination to see who is suddenly facing an uncertain future.
There are the hundreds of players who are still in their teens - footballers I have never heard of but ones whose professional careers could be set to end in their infancy.
Then there are the likes of Liam Rosenior, Jeremie Aliadiere, Lee Hendrie, Francis Jeffers, Keith Gillespie, Russell Hoult, Gavin Mahon, Jay DeMerit, Barry Hayles - all experienced performers at a variety of levels, all united by the fact they are without a club.
But what also unites them all is that they can still be signed by clubs even though the transfer window has now closed."
maybe the inflated wage demands of their agents will become realistic in the absence of business; would have thought Aladiere would be worth a trial!
