QUESTION: What boasts 14 legs, 1,067 Premier League appearances, 63 goals, cost £28.5m to assemble and £300,000 per week to run?
ANSWER: The seven players who make up the West Midlands bomb squad. As in bombed-out.
The septet form a unique club at Aston Villa, West Bromwich Albion and Wolverhampton Wanderers where names and reputations clearly count for little.
Protected by salaries that are - in some cases - in excess of £60,000 a week, they have all been deemed surplus to requirements by their respective clubs and are, without exception, all available for transfer.
In nearly all of these cases they also find themselves training either with the academy or the development squad as the protection of heavyweight contracts prevents them from being shipped out to any interested party.
Here, we assess the seven and their club’s chances of unburdening themselves before the transfer window closes.
Happy clapper: Sarcastically applauding supporters was the last straw for Jamie O'Hara at Wolves
Jamie O’Hara (Wolverhampton Wanderers)
Two summers ago, the former Spurs trainee arrived with a £5m price tag, a five-year contract, a model girlfriend and hefty reputation.
While O’Hara’s home life has certainly blossomed with the arrival of his two sons and marriage to former Miss England, Danielle Lloyd, his football has taken a decided turn for the worse.
As part of a squad that has suffered two successive relegations, O’Hara was singled out, the nadir of his time at Wolves coming on the day their demotion from the Championship was sealed at Brighton last season.
He sarcastically applauded upset travelling supporters as he was substituted. That proved the final straw.
Although he has reported back to Molineux in fine fettle, he remains on the outside, looking in, as Kenny Jackett attempts to breathe life back into the Black Country club.
