Jamie Carragher Linked to BT Sport
Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville has been critically lauded for his punditry since joining Sky Sports and it now looks as if BT Vision will look to repeat the trick with Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher.
Neville went straight from the dressing room into the studio and that has been cited as one of the reasons why his opinions have been so clued in.
Therefore, BT, who will be broadcasting 38 games a season for three years starting next August after winning a bid for the rights in June, are looking at current players who could make a similar transition.
And according to respected sport media journalist Charles Sale in Daily Mail, Carragher is a target as they look for a "a Premier League pundit with dressing-room knowledge."
Former Arsenal midfielder Freddie Ljungberg has also been in for talks, but if BT want a current player there are a few knocking around who have already dabbled in media work.
