Manchester City winger Shaun Wright-Phillips, who cost a staggering £30 million in his last two transfers, has been told he can leave for nothing as the big spending Eastlands club want him off their wage bill and cannot find a club willing to pay a fee and take on the player's salary, according to ESPNsoccernet sources.

• SWP agent reveals five offers

One of the many clubs chasing the former Chelsea player, who has been valued at around £4 million, told ESPNsoccernet: "Manchester City are no longer looking for a fee. They want to get the player off the wage bill.

"If he was on £30,000-a-week he would be worth £6-8 million - but on £65,000-a-week he has no value unless a really top club wants him."

Fulham boss Mark Hughes, who signed the England international from Chelsea for £9 million in 2008, is reportedly keen to work with the winger again and has jumped to the front of the queue.

City are believed to be holding out for a permanent transfer and will not sanction any loan deal, but Hughes faces competition to sign him as Wright-Phillips' agent claims that the midfielder is already considering 'five offers'

Is he not a better option the Charlie Adams

Erm no as SWP is a winger and Adams isn't. Plus Adams can pass a ball and SWP can't.
For a freebie he would be a squad player at best for us. Better players than him for that position.

We need width and he would be a good option. Get him in for free I say.

I would definately get him for free. Would be a much better option down the right then Kuyt.

ERM, SRW can take 2/3 players on and make space for others. personally i think we are in mind of a fast winger then we are of a CM

ERM SWP used to be able to take 2 or 3 players on, but have you seen him over the last two years struggles to get past one at best never mind two.
I used to be a fan of his and wanted him to come when he left chelski but he is half the player he used to be.
Yes we are in dire need of wingers but would rather have Jarvis from wolves and pay the money than SWP who's wages will cost a lot more alone.
Adam is a player we need, the way Kenny is playing can see Gerrard and Meireles moving more forward and attacking more we need a player who can dictate the game from in front of our back for like Molby did, Adam can do that.

SwP must be one of the most brainless players ever. He is getting on a bit now so is probably even worse now than he was when he was rubbish.

It would be an absoloute waste of 65,000 thousand odd a week. It would make more financial sense burning 40 grand a week than signing him for free.

utterly and totally useless..

He used to be a decent 100m sprinter, and that's all I rated him as. No thanks, even on a free.

past his best a few seasons ago

Babel is good over 100m too, but we want footballers not sprinters.
