his agent is quoted this morning that 'several' middle eastern clubs are interested.
The way they treat their women out there that ought to suit him just fine !

Probably only coming back because he's got legal bills and has to pay his previous Spanish club for walking out on them.

This is the report:
Collymore could be tempted by the right offer
Stan Collymore is waiting for the right offer to seal his return to football.
The former England striker is serving a 30-month Fifa ban after announcing his retirement while under contract at Spanish club Oviedo.
The ban ends in January 2004 and Collymore revealed several clubs have already sounded him out.
Collymore told the BBC Sport website: "The fact that clubs have shown an interest has whetted my appetite."
The mercurial striker has carved out a career as a pundit for BBC Radio Five Live after ending his short, ill-fated spell in Spain.
Collymore walked out of Oviedo, announcing his retirement and prompting the Spanish club to seek a worldwide embargo on him joining another club.
I wouldn't even consider it if I didn't think I could make an impact
Stan Collymore
But with the end of the ban in sight, 32-year-old Collymore could be ready to dust off his boots.
"When I said I was retiring that was the intention, but with the caveat that if somewhere in the future an opportunity came along, I would consider it," said Collymore.
"But it would have to be the right offer for both parties."
"It's not a question of finance or money, but purely for football reasons.
"I have missed the playing side. Football has been part of my life since I was eight years old.
"But one of the reasons I have been happy to stay out as long as I have is the peripheral side, the demands on players from outside football and the scrutiny they come under.
"I miss the playing side, but I don't miss all the other stuff."
I've still got a few miles on the clock and the interest has come because people feel I can do a job
Stan Collymore
Collymore's record of 113 league and cup goals in 223 appearances for nine clubs is impressive, and he believes he still has an eye for goal.
"Without a doubt I have confidence in my ability.
"I wouldn't even consider it if I didn't think I could make an impact.
"I've still got a few miles left on the clock and the interest has come because people feel I can do a job."

Collymore also feels it would not take long to regain his fitness.
"I would need the equivalent of a full pre-season, which could be four or five weeks conditioning work.
"But beyond that, I would need nothing particularly special.
"Apart from a broken leg when I was at Leicester, I have been fairly lucky with injuries.
"I haven't had any problems with the usual curse of players, knees, ankles and hips."
Reckon he'd fancy coming down here?
Coventry are the likeliest bet considering he's a brummie

Stan on Talksport now. Said he would join a club for free for 4-6weeks and get fit and then play for the team. I think he's worth a shot!
