The Freebie XI: You Can Have All of this for Nothing!
by Mad Dog and Glory on August 5th, 2009 241 words | 7 commentsTime for you all to feel sorry for footballers without a home for the new season!
Footballers rarely deserve sympathy in today’s cash-drenched game.
Fans are fed up with hearing of players being paid six figures for a week’s work, especially when that involves pulling on their boots for a few hours each day.
But spare a thought for the huge number of players that are still without a job with the new season starting on Friday.
The PFA has listed 350 players looking for work, with many more – the total is estimated to be around 600 – on the hunt for a new home.Dole XI
Nicky Weaver
Danny Mills
Sol Campbell
Ricardo Rocha
Michael Ball
Moritz Volz
Antoine Sibierski
Dietmar Hamann

So this article from the Daily Mail was supposed to highlight the amount of players set to be without a club and just how great a bargain these could turn out to be, one small problem with this, most of the players that are listed are in fact piss poor!
With the notable exceptions of Campbell, Volz and perhaps at a push, Hamann, the rest are not worth considering making a move for. The less said about Antoine Sibierski the better, the Frenchman managed to fool many of his apparent footballing ability for so many years I am surprised that he has finally be tumbled as the usual waste of space that he is!

there are some players there that can still cut it in the premierleague or coca cola leagues but i think if they do join the premierleague smaller clubs along the lines of hull stoke or prometed teams like birmingham wolves are burnley should sign them

Viduka is fat and slow but is an extremely technical.
Viduka = Fat Berbatov

i bloody well hope viduka doesnt come to melbourne victory… and i wouldnt call him a slow berbatov… they both run 100m in under 30 seconds. and he’s not technical at all! wth?????? great positioning, great strength, decent vision, decent shot… poor passing… poor pace… poor agility… he really is a target man only. give him the ball around the 18 yard box and he’ll put it away, but if hes stuck at halfway… just put it out of play, he aint gonna score
