For many, they've little more chance of playing in the World Cup than I have, and it's a plea for a pay-rise, but for some, it's genuine – they're looking at games from the bench and could end up watching the World Cup from the sofa at this rate.

So in this January's transfer window, look out for these players, looking for an escape route.
