Summer Freebies

[It's_Just_Not_Cricket]

Hahaha nothing like a Pienaar joke on a Sunday night!

Take Billy and OneTrueLegend's points about the wage structure, for me I'd like to see us sort Fellani's contract out first to keep him tied down. Laarson has a few fans on here so we shall see what happens there. Klose etc would be a nice free to bring in but Moyes will never be held to ransom I'm sure! I could still see Vaughn signing for some reason.

No doubt we will sign some one I have never heard of from the French second division lol.

Oh and just watching motd2 Larrson scored a goal and hit the bar with a free kick

 

[markp]

Would have larrson all day,he is decent.

Mucha's probably going so I'd get Hahnemann in asack up. Decent keeper and will give Tim an american buddy.

 

[Paddy F]

Is Messi's contract up yet?

 

[It's_Just_Not_Cricket]

Decent shout on Hahnemann! Messi would be good back up for Osman

 

[Alio]

As a reminder, these were the OP's original shouts. Are any of these already signed up?

Half of them would in no way join us, the one's I've highlighted would be more realistic perhaps (still massively unlikely though on a couple)

Vicente (29, Left winger, Valencia)
Miroslav Klose (32, Striker, B. Munich)
Hamit Altintop (28, Right midfielder, B. munich)
Piotr Trochowski (26, Attacking midfielder, Hamburg)
Johan Elmander (29, Striker, Bolton)
Jose Boswinga (28, right back, Chelsea)
William Gallas (33, Centre back, spurs)
Matthew Upson (31, Centre back, west ham)
Sebastian Larson (25, right winger, Birmingham)
Nigel Reo-Coker (26, centre midfielder, villa)
Luke Young (31, right back, villa)
Josh Mc Eachran (17, Centre midfielder, chelsea)
Taye Taiwo (25, Left back, Marseille)
slyvain marveaux (24, Left winger, Rennes)
Andrea Pirlo (31, Centre midfielder, ac milan)
Phillipe Mexes (28, Centre defender, Roma)
Alesandro Nesta (34, Centre defender, ac milan)
Massimo Ambrosini (33, Centre midfielder, ac milan)
Reto Ziegler (25, Left back, sampdoria)

Sadly I think even some of the ones highlighted wouldn't join mate.

Yep, I added that in brackets. I think 2 out of those 6 I've highlighted would possibly consider us

 

[ijjysmith]

Elmander and Larsson could do worse than us for sure.

 

[sarath]

pretty sure trochowski has gone.

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

Elmander, Larsson and Vaughan are the only serious possibilities. Would be very happy if we got 2 out of the 3 personally. Moyes has to be going for them we've got sod all transfer funds.

We shall see. You'd have thought similar in January when we were screaming out for loans...didn't happen though.

I'm currently 78.4444555554455% sure we won't get anyone new in the summer.

Ok, the source is the 'Daily Fail' so I doubt this is even accurate but they link us today with Kieron Westwood the Cov goalkeeper who is out of contract in the summer. I actually quite rate the lad. he is only 26 and Keepers generally don't peak until they are in their 30s in my opinion. Might just be one to keep an eye on. I remember we were linked with him in 2009 so that is the only reason I bother mentioning it.

I do like Gilks from Blackpool. I'd imagine that both Mucha and Turner are going to leave in the summer, so we could probably do with one experienced keeper and someone younger with promise.

My summer shopping list would probably be Gilks, Chica, Obinna and Nugent on frees. Gradel will be in his final year, so should be available at a bargain price. I'd try and swap Yakubu for Brunt. I'd also look for some cover at centreback. Maybe Evans from United on loan. Any body else we sold would then be money in the bank.
