Transfer/Contract craic - that time of the year again

Stuart Broad and Graeme Swann are two names off the top of my head who left less fancied counties for Notts. Obviously in more recent years Jos Buttler and David Willey have moved to more fancied clubs and we’ve seen with Borthwick and Stoneman at Durham that there are financial powerhouses ready to tempt players at clubs with smaller budgets away.

Im not too sure what will happen with the hundred in future but won’t there be a continuous draft type system for a lot of players anyway?
I think sometimes though you can't generalise as Buttler went to Lancs for example as he was told Craig Kieswetter was first choice keeper at Somerset so to further his England chances he moved, it that particular case it had nothing whatsoever to do with moving to a more fancied club.

But granted they is others plenty others who have gone for that reason.
 


Surrey and Lancashire have always been stronger pulls than Sussex. They’re bigger clubs with test facilities in big city locations. Probably offer bigger contracts too.

never really got this about sussex, brighton is an absolutely class place, thought it would've been ripe for the 16.farce although admittedly the ground is not as modern ie souless
 
Jones and Trevaskis sign new 2 years deals.

Happy with that.
Good news on both fronts. Trevaskis is already one of Durham's most important one day cricketers and hopefully the rest of his game can kick on to be the same in first class cricket.
Well done Jones for sheer perseverance to stick at it and deservedly get his contract on achievement.
