The top 10 bargains in the Premier League this summer
As the summer approaches, many transfers and bidding wars are expected to follow. The top clubs in the English game are more than likely to spend their megabucks and attempt to sign the world’s finest around Europe. However, should a majority of these premier league managers look no further than England?
Many premier league stars will be put on the market for a bargain price this summer, which will no doubt see a dozen of the leagues managers whip out their cheque books in a flash.
The following list contains 10 players who will cost as little as £6 million. All of the players mentioned have premier league experience and appear to be going at a cut price or even on a free.
Here is the premier league’s bargain shopping list for this summer’s transfer window:
Martin Petrov (Manchester City):
The 31-year-old Bulgarian managed to appear 19 times for City in all competitions and bagged 5 goals this year However, due to a long-term knee injury and the arrival of Adam Johnson in January, Petrov has struggled to hold down a regular first team place, and as such, been overlooked by his boss.
The Bulgarian’s contract is set to expire this summer and will know that he is highly unlikely to get games at City next season. It’s been reported that Everton and Spurs are interested in the winger and will cost nothing to acquire his services, but his wage demands of £45,000 a week may pose a problem. Any club in the premier league that can afford the players wage should definitely consider offering the winger a new lease of life.
Jimmy Bullard (Hull City):
The midfielder is sure to be on several premier league clubs radar, after Hull City suffered relegated this season.
The 31-year-old is known to be injury prone, but when fit shows why he is such a good player. Bullard is looking to leave and the cash-strapped tigers are hoping to sell the player to the highest bidder in order to get him off their wage bill.
Bullard is the highest earning player at Hull with wages of up to £45,000 a week. However, due to his recurring injury problems, many clubs may opt for a loan move rather than a permanent one for the midfielder. Celtic are the only team at present to have shown an interest in the player, but this may change as time goes by. A bid of possibly £2 million could see Bullard head for the exit this summer.

I feel these are all bargain signings that premiership clubs could bargain for.
O’Hara, Belhadj, Joe Cole and Sol Campbell are all top players. I feel Belhadj, O’Hara, Joe Cole and Sol Campbell are all top signing and could easily play for a top four team.
The others are also good players but more for the average/smaller teams. I also feel that steven Fletcher from Burnley is a bargain signing for the smaller clubs.

David James (Portsmouth):
The 39-year-old has been one of the most prolific and respected goalkeepers in premier league history. But, with Portsmouth confined to the championship and the club in financial crisis, will the veteran goalkeeper look to move on this summer?
How can a goalie be prolific??????????!!!!!!

Not sure you can really count Joe Cole as a bargain. Of course if he is free he is a bargain – he is a top class player. But it wouldn’t represent a savvy buy would it?
Buying Jenas could be savvy. Not playing. Value has gone down. His drive has gone. But loads of talent.
Micah Richards could be a bargain. Used to be considered a 20 mill+ player. England right-back for the next 10 years. But has lost his way at Man City.
Bellamy. A fall out is always useful for a bargain.
Definitely agree with O’Hara. And Belhadj is very good.
Benayoun? For some strange reason he is not wanted a Liverpool yet he was one of their few performing players.
Depends on how much you want to gamble i guess…. Joey Barton?

i think chelsea should go for kevin prince- boateng and nadir belhadj as they would add youth to a agenging squad but would be replacements for that lasy midfidler ballack and for ferriera as they are just not up to the task of playing for us any more and nost important they would only cost roughly 6mill in total so a total snip for first class culb.

Gallas? although his wages are a joke, so is Joe Cole’s at that.
Boateng, Belhadj and O’Hara are the best on this list.
Klasnic is ok, but for a middle club team.
Bullard is a joke, not a good player at all.
Benjani!! LOL!
I understand why you titled James as ‘prolific’ coz he always performs, would be interesting to see where he goes this summer. good bargains here.
