http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/14399073.stm Article from the BBC website. Apparently, only 25% of players out of contract have found new clubs. I think a LOT of players will be in for a shock at what they will be offered and terms of contract. In this instance anyway, power is completely with the club so all I can say agents is for the moment SWIVEL greedy mugs trying to ruin football.
Interesting. You'd think the out of contract players would be in higher demand because of the lack of movement with transfers.
