mdogg20 Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 A lot of decent names (and wage demands) still not picked up with the start of the season looming. Forestieri, Winnall, Lee, Nuhiu and Hutchinson haven't been taken as of yet. Decent Championship players like Tom Huddleston, Daniel Ayala, Chris Brunt, Nathan Dyer, Ikechi Anya etc. Its the market realization at the minute of who blinks first - do players go without a job/wage and not play or do they take a short term contract and pay cut from what they are used to. Or will clubs pony up the demanded wages whilst seemingly trying to cut their cloth with little income around. This is why free, good strikers are at a premium and they will knowingly wait for a good deal and play clubs off of each other. However if we take players after the start of the season they always play catch up with fitness/sharpness (see Wickham). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a lot of other players besides these available on a free. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdogg20 Posted September 7, 2020 Author Share Posted September 7, 2020 They're just not in as high demand as strikers are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gob_Bluth Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 No one is going to pay a premium in wages for players on the downward slope of their careers like Huddlestone or Brunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
