Are you suggesting some kind of insider knowledge here or just naming an out of contract football player?

Wikipedia:

He received lots of criticism because of a previous action in which he burned an FC Basel scarf during the Swiss Champion celebrations of Grasshopper almost exactly one year before leaving Grasshoppers.



SIGN HIM UP.

Not a chance. Still good enough to play in the top division in Germany or Premier League. Wages would still be very high too.

The name alone gives me a twinge in the base of my FLAIRSHAFT.

:thumbsup: This. (see below for more FLAIROTICA)

  • In the final moments of Basel's UEFA Cup group-stage match versus AS Nancy-Lorraine on 23 November 2006, Petrić was installed in goal after Basel's keeper Franco Costanzo was sent off for a foul on Nancy's Issiar Dia and the team had already made all three substitutions. The foul resulted in a penalty kick that gave Nancy the final chance for an away victory, but Petrić was able to make a save and stopped the penalty kick taken by Mickaël Chrétien, helping his team to drive home one point with a 2–2 draw.

  • He was an active member with his national side in their Euro 2008 qualifying campaign, appearing in almost all of the team's qualifying matches. In the second qualifier, against Andorra on 7 October 2006 in Zagreb, he scored four goals in only 60 minutes of playing and became the first ever player to score four goals for the Croatian national football team in a competitive match.

  • On 21 November, the last day of UEFA Euro 2008 Qualifiers, Petrić was brought on as a substitute in the away fixture against England. With Croatia already qualified and the match tied at 2–2, he scored the winning goal from about 25 yards to send England out of Euro 2008. It was England's first competitive defeat at the New Wembley. After the match, he refused to swap his jersey, going on to say "this is the proudest moment of my career. I didn't want to swap this jersey for anything."

Disclaimer: Not a hope in hell, but still.

sounds like someone who will either be staying in the top league in Germany or the top league in France or maybe even England ................... but not the Championship (IMO)
