Flicking through tv the other day i came across the old Eddie Murphy film Trading Places.
Now that got me thinking about how Shrimpers players would get on trading places with Premier stars....
My 1st thought was if Gavin Tomlin traded places with Wayne Rooney ( in my humble opinion one of the most vastly over rated + over paid footballers in history) .... i honestly think if Tomlin played in that Man Utd team for a whole season alongside Van Persie, took penalties + some free kicks , he would score just as many as Rooney has + would look just as effective yet around 200 times cheaper ! . Rooney , on the other hand , would probably look distinctly average getting booted around Accrington Stanley away on a tuesday night. It would be an interesting concept to see how their attitudes changed + how motivated they were, playing alongside a different class of player + in totally different surroundings.
I also thought about trading places between Daniel Bentley + Joe Hart ... then Bilel Mohsni with the similarly suspect attitude of QPR's Adel Taarabt ( obviously not in centre midfield , only a fool would play Mohsni in centre midfield)...
any other players you could imagine trading places ? ( In todays ridiculously saturated reality tv world , i'm surprised this wont be a tv show soon !! )
