    It would need to be quite a bit more to justify uprooting your family and home and the risk of settling into a new team.

    Probably not, but when you have at least partly burned your bridges and there hasnt been a headlong rush for your services, then its any port in a storm. Wouldnt be surprised to see its a pay if play type deal

    That would seem most likely Geoff!
    If does OK then a deal further down the line?
    Either way, last chance saloon.

    Would he need to? Relatively easy journey to Bristol. Lives in Quarndon near Bradley Johnson (and the Joiners!) I believe. BJ still hasn’t moved and seems to manage the shorter but less direct route to Blackburn easily enough

    At least a two and a half hour journey each way and that's not allowing for regular holdups on that route. Not great, if you've got to train or play after the journey.

    Regular hold-ups on the M5 are the norm, roadworks are a religion near Bristol!

    Train is 2 hours station to station so that's probably 3 hours from home to training ground

    He could fly from EMA to Bristol airport in next to no time but that would be costly.

    5 days a week in digs/hotel in Bristol, 2 at home?

    I don't disagree mista, my point is more that with such a short career, I can understand why an individual would try and milk as much out of it as possible.

    If he's looking for cheap digs, Nelson Mandela House is next to the stadium.
