Re: Players Sign Up
Chris King is a free agent - his contract ends/ended this month so he has every right to be listed as a free transfer. But many players would prefer to stay where they are than move somewhere else for little or no difference. But it was stated somewhere (Observer?) about a month ago that the sticking point would be the reduced basic and increased appearance money that he was offered in lieu of having missed 5 months of this season. Without having set the world alight here, and only having the Welsh team on his recent CV he would probably struggle to get a good deal elsewhere - unless he went part time and got a job! Good defender though so I hope he signs.
Pawel Abbott? If you've got a bit of money to throw around he would be worth signing as he does tend to bring a decent price in transfer fees (£125k, £150k and £100k in his last three) so you'd look for a decent half season from him and then hopefully sell him in January. But as Darlo had a reputed £2.9m wage bill last season and he would have been one of the better earners I think that the likes of us wouldn't even pick up the phone! I wouldn't be surprised to see Morecambe start spending a bit though and maybe they'd be looking at him?
