The way Lambert was talking about Dunne the other day it sounded like Dunne could play against Sunderland.

All the Twitter ITK BSers seem to be sure that we're in talks with a free agent CB.

We'll see..

The man is John Mensah.

Awesome central defender, injury prone with weak knees, but is awesome when fit. Pay as you play deal would be the best option with him.

Could see this one happening as he has played for Lambert before.  He is 30, but I think he would offer a lot more than Ireland and N'Zogbia, and would be on a lot less money.

Hoolahan would be a bloody decent option over Ireland in the formation we played against Sunderland today.

It would be against EU employment law for free agents to not be allowed to sign for a club and play for them so there must be a way. Not that I believe the rumour - just a point I'm waiting to see get challenged.

Only if you haven't selected 25 players. If you've left a space you can sign free agents.

I imagine we don't have a full 25 man squad because of the ages of a lot of our squad.

We have space in our squad, if true we can add him.

Hoolahan would be a very good signing for us, would like to see that happen in Jan.

At 30, I'm not convinced he's the sort of player we will be going for. Good player, mind.
