He's been let go by his club, I'm not his biggest fan but we need players and we've been linked with him in the past.

Will Moyes go for him?

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Riquelme's signing tomorrow. That's the midfield sorted.

 

[Basil Fawlty]

For free defo, sign him up davey. He's a world class 28 year old ex Juventus player, on our budget he's a must

Dam we are an insightful bunch on this site.

He is class - great engine, skill, pace and toughness - has a bit of a dodgy injury record, but on a free it is worth the chance.

 

[Gufty]

He would be a very good addition to our Midfield, I just hope we don't get beaten to signature by someone like Pompey.

There's no such thing as a free lunch !!
If he gets paid £40,000 a week and spends most of his time on the treatment table then he's an expense we cant afford, we already have a Dutchman that fills that role and seems content in it.

 

[Cal]

Good player. We wont sign him though so i'll move back to players like Bullard because that is our realistic hope.

On that deparment (midfield) taking risks on an injury prone player would be beyond acceptable. I'd rather take a chance on Ljungberg, I'm sure he would add some usefulness to the squad.

But skintness is the only reason I see for us not be signing anyone.

 

[micknick]

Hes a superb player would love us to have a look at him.

I'd like this character. Could do a whole lot worse.

 

[danmac]

I say we go for it if we cant get the other boys in that we were looking for. Moyes and the big heads must have a good idea by now whether or not they will be able to get Moutinho and if they cant we might as well stop the bleeding now because I dont think that Rodwell is ready yet. He played well for his age but he made some stupid mistakes that could have made the game worse than 3-2.

 

[Robin Sisland]

If Appiah's in the frame, why not McCarthy?
Had a poor last season with injury, but he's back, fit and apparently available.
He's 31 in November but should still have at least three years in him at this level.

 

[TX Bill]

I'd take him in a flash provided:

1) He's fit and over his injury
2) His wages wouldn't be astronomical

If he met the above criteria, he'd be great for us !!!

He's a terrible player now.

Even Blackburn fans think he's [Poor language removed].
