The World Cup is about to swallow the transfer window whole, which means free agents may be a smart play this summer. Patrick and Neel run through 10 players hitting the market for nothing, break down what they actually offer, and try to find them a home. Mo Salah's attitude problem, Konaté's Liverpool stalemate, why Bernardo Silva doesn't fit the Premier League anymore, the Vlahović wages nightmare, and whether Casemiro is genuinely MLS-bound. Plus: the centre-back generating midfielder numbers, the midfielder Patrick has never liked, and Lewandowski's increasingly narrow path to a good move. Enjoy!
