There should be fireworks before the transfer window closes in a week's time. That much is certain. What is less obvious is where a number of outcast Premier League stars will end up.
Players across the top flight are currently trapped in a footballing purgatory. They are unwanted by their current managers but have not yet secured a move elsewhere. Their agents will be working around the clock to push through switches to other clubs, but as of yet they have not managed to make the transfer happen. A dangerous fate awaits those who remain at their current clubs.
