I am sure I read somewhere that there could be potentially over 1200 players that have played professional football looking for a job.
There is going to be a massive C change in footballers wages and contracts thanks to this awful virus.
"We have the chance to snag, bag and tag as others have previously said players we would not have thought possible before,;but so do other clubs"
Isn't that what a lot of people think? However, competition for signing players hasn't changed, if anything it has got a lot harder. Players may have more of a luxury in that they can pick and choose who they play for, and the best contract. Meaning has/will the transfer market change in that respect?
But clubs will have a lot less money to splash out on players, they won't be able to keep as many players on their books, meaning a lot of clubs will have to settle for so called 2nd best.
This then means that the "cream" of players will find it harder to find new clubs unless they lower their wage and contract expectations.
But the "bigger" clubs with more financial backing will be able to buy the better players on terms those players want. So has/will the transfer market change that much?
I think we need as a club to be looking at more reasonable options, players we have a chance of bagging that are still quality, but may be lacking in experience. I would be very surprised if any potential new signings were given anymore than 2yr contracts, or included "top scorers from last season" or "golden glove" winners and "players of the season".
