Indeed! 28000 GBP per week for four seasons and he didn’t make an appearance in the last two. But that was then…this is now.

Bargains compared with Anya

Anya must be the absolute low point of our acquisitions.

We should also remember that Wash was brought in on a free as we weren't allowed to pay transfer fees at the time. Many of the "free agents" are either washed up or injury prone. In Wash's case it might be both.

Even very average, or below average players, can be very wealthy. Recently released Mason Bennett is reportedly worth around 1.8 million, for what?, being a below average player who scored 1 worldy and had that 1 ok season under lampard. Done very little since.

Wouldn't surprise me if he doesn't sign for another club now as can't see him getting much of a deal anywhere.

What's the going rate at alfreton town?

I could never quite work it out as mostly he was available and was a fairly decent player.

Assume there was appearance based add ons which limited his opportunities, but as far as I know he didn't sign elsewhere when he left us

Signing a player that you can't afford to play is definitely down there as a low point. At least Claude Davis actually spend minutes on the pitch, even if he may as well not have been

He retired from football, he was in the news a while ago when his house was burgled. He could easily invest his (rumoured) Derby earnings and live the rest of his life in comfort and I guess that?s what he?s doing

rA "I'd like to see some protection for clubs giving ?injury prone? players a second chance so that some sort of ?pay as you play? contract kicks in at some point ensuring players are able to live comfortably but protecting clubs from having to fork out astronomical salaries for, in Washington and Anya?s cases, doing virtually nothing."

There is, it's called insurance

Indeed and didn't Derby benefit from insurance when Barnes suffered his run of injuries?

It only applies where an injury ends a career though.
