Antolin Alcaraz, Maynor Figueroa, Chris Brunt and Thomas Hitzlsperger are a few names on free transfers that have really caught my eye. Especially Figueroa at Left Back.

Surprised he's going after any wingers.
I'd have thought a playmaker was more important than a winger.

I read somewhere that we've bid £9 million for United's Anderson, but it's as obscure a rumour as any.

As rumours go, that's excellent and also probably bollocks.

Never rated him. Really don't see what he offers to a side.

He was one of the most talented players I'd ever seen when at Porto but Fergie managed to squeeze it all out of him, wanting a workhorse midfielder, something he'd never be. Such a waste.

Yes he looked an incredible creative talent at Porto, I don't what know Manure did to him.

My mate is a united season ticket holder - raves about Anderson . Loves him because his first movement is always positive. , looking to play a forward pass or to go at a player . Think he would be very good for us.

It can't be Willie, Ron. We've already bought him once.

It's Viv, mate.

just read that Austin used to be a bricklayer. The Burnley fans chant 'he used to build walls, now he scores goals'.

You don't hear many stories like that anymore (Stuart Pearce, an electrician etc)

That lad from Bradford who scored against us used to 'stack shelves at the Co-Op' what they sang anyway....they were wrong, it was Morrisons.

Sorry, wrong.  It was the Co-op he worked at, Idle branch. (an area of Bradford - not a description of the person)
