These players have been in the shop window a long while now, but they're still here and the big kick-off draws ever closer. Is this how it was meant to be, or has it all gone Pete Tong ?
The EPL clubs shot themselves in the foot by voting for a short window a couple of years back. They saw the error of their ways and now have until the end of August to sort out their $hit.

The four players you mention mon ami, Roberts, Collins, Brownhill and McNeil are all under contract and will quite rightly be drawing their wages.

The BIG question is, "How good is Alan Pace at poker"?
