Just thinking the best way to offload the likes of Harrison & Downing would be to offer them as a loan until the end of the season with an option to buy.
It would mean sacrificing a fee (like we would ever get one lol) but gives the other club complete flexibility to try out the player before becoming a free agent. Presumably you would agree terms with the player at the point of the loan activating and the purchasing club will have the option to activate it at the seasons end.
Everyone wins: we remove the cost of wages.
Player gets a new club before becoming a free agent and the opportunity for first team football.
Purchasing club secures the player for free but will full flexibility to pull out of the deal in the summer.
