I thought that Silvestre went to MLS



...... Jean-Joel Perrier Doumbe; with a name like that he'd definitely fit in at Villa ................we're all Doumbe'd

I notice Robert Pires is available.

Ched Evans might have a bit of bother getting to games.....

That lad Beye looks a prospect.

Sammy Kafour was a cracking played.

If that Sammy Traore is the one who played for Mali last night he is big brutal and a beast in the air.   Otherwise Mensah looks an intelligent suggestion.

Michael Ball was a good player until he met that bird. Love changes everything.

Sorry

I would sign Atouba like a shot just to have somebody in the squad called Timothee.

How can Hitz be "unattached" when he was on the bench for Everton yesterday ?
Title: Re: Unattached F.C.
Post by: PeterWithe on February 03, 2013, 04:24:33 PM
I know fuck all, I'd have bought Johnny Heitanga before yesterday

Ched Evans?

Touch of a rapist
Title: Re: Unattached F.C.
Post by: Ger Regan on February 03, 2013, 04:33:24 PM
He might be 35, but I'd take Fabio Grosso.

Played for Celtic, scored a winner against Rangers. Other than that he was shite for them.

There are a few players there who aren't that bad. Getting on a bit, but could bring us some experience and quality.

Post by: tomd2103 on February 03, 2013, 04:37:50 PM
He might be 35, but I'd take Fabio Grosso.

I would too, just for the fact that being as he is an Italian defender he could show Clark how to really wrestle with attackers in his own penalty area. 
Title: Re: Unattached F.C.
Post by: PeterWithe on February 03, 2013, 04:39:02 PM
He might be 35, but I'd take Fabio Grosso.

Was he a tall left back? If so I'd take him as well.

I love the suggestion, but if Lambert couldn't be arsed bringing one in last month then he won't bother now.
Title: Re: Unattached F.C.
Post by: maidstonevillain on February 03, 2013, 04:47:14 PM
Ched Evans?

One for the future, and probably hungry and cheap.
Fits the present criteria.

Post by: KevinGage on February 03, 2013, 04:50:04 PM
Zambrotta is currently unattached. 

35, and prob not as quick as he was in his prime.  But would still be an upgrade on our current options.
Title: Re: Unattached F.C.
Post by: PeterWithe on February 03, 2013, 04:52:42 PM
Zambrotta is currently unattached. 

He may have won more or less everything at club level but he's no Simon Dawkins.

Send the link into VP, FAO Paul Lambert.

How very sad but true (great suggestion by the way)!

John Mensah is quality, but he has very dodgy knees! 
Title: Re: Unattached F.C.
Post by: ozzjim on February 03, 2013, 06:02:49 PM
Yeah if Mensah could be fit for 10 games (just the ones we have a chance in!) till the end of the season it would be worth it.

As would Grosso at left back.
Title: Re: Unattached F.C.
Post by: ozzjim on February 03, 2013, 06:04:48 PM
I would take Reo Coker too still.
Title: Re: Unattached F.C.
Post by: SoccerHQ on February 03, 2013, 06:08:04 PM
What a garbage list.

I would've been happy with Paul Scharner tbh before Wigan got interested. Ca play RB, CB and defensive midfield and surely  Wigan won't be paying him that much on loan from Hamburg.
Title: Re: Unattached F.C.
Post by: Chipsticks on February 03, 2013, 06:30:09 PM
That lad Beye looks a prospect.

We should put him on 40k a week and never play him!
Title: Re: Unattached F.C.
Post by: Pete3206 on February 03, 2013, 07:11:52 PM
I'd go for Marco Gabbiadini
Title: Re: Unattached F.C.
Post by: atticus snood on February 03, 2013, 07:15:39 PM
Ched Evans is SHA bound surely?
Title: Re: Unattached F.C.
Post by: FatSam on February 03, 2013, 07:15:47 PM
I think that list is a bit out of date. For example it looks like Mensah is now at Rennes, Silvestre is playing in India, Kuffour retired for the second time in 2009, Grosso retired in the summer along with Pavon and Juanito etc.

Its a market that I'd like to see us go for as its now the only way we could strengthen the squad before the end of the season - I just can't see many options available.

Ron Benson and Tony Hedges going spare

What is Lambert playing at?

Ron Benson and Tony Hedges going spare

What is Lambert playing at?

He desperately needs an assistant manager called Butler to advise him.

There is something wrong and banjo playing about anybody called Ched ;)

Didnt he play for Sunderland Brian? The best of that list for the centre half position.

Looking at the LB's, Jon Harley looked like he was going to be star about 10 years ago

Michalik is big and would not get battered about like Clark is doing.
