I don,t know about you but having watched M.O.T.D I realised that many of the players on show were plying thier trade in the 3 division not so long ago .Most of the Swansea team the Norwich players were all starting up in the lower leagues so it struck me that this is where we should look. I,m sure you all know the players in this league and the 2 divisionso to please BATES lets have a close inspection and perhaps come up with so names. D EFENDERS I will start with Bates out of contract in June at Boro. Hunt at TOWN.a good fullback in the town tradition Midfield Llanana Soton AND Andrews Ipswich Wingers Marshall WED STRIKERS Vardy Fleetwood Sordell Watford and Rodriguez Burnley
andrews is the only realistic one in that list given the current regime, and even that looks unlikely with his wage demands
Truth is, majority of Prem teams are simply good Championship teams. The difference is that they stupidly pay outlandish wages because they get Sky money, so ordinary players get huge wages not because of their talent, but because of the division they play in. Arsenal were well beaten by Swansea because they have not replaced Fabregas and Nasri, and their consistency has suffered since those two left. Outside the top sux there is a lot of dross in the Prem, and too many imports who honestly haven't done the business.
