Sky Sports news are reporting that ex Chelsea, Manchester United and Aston Villa keeper Mark Bosnich is considering an offer to train with Walsall, despite having previously said he wasn't interested in playing again, following his drugs ban!

There is no indication fromt he club as to whether this is true or not. Merson had contacted Bosnich earlier this season to see if he was interested in playing again, but Bosnich never got back to him. Whether this is a rehash of that story, whether he has just taken time to respond or whether Merson has made another approach, it is difficult to say. He did appear, after all, on Sky TVs "The Match" and they are running a documentary on the game on Sunday, so it may be a publicity stunt.

The Ex Aussie International, 33 next month, was highly rated at one time, during his spell at Villa, had a less successful spell at Manchester United, before moving to Chelsea. He was sacked by them and givne a two year ban by the FA after failing a drugs test for cocaine use.
