Apart from ol' Flammy are there any other freebies worth a shout?

schwarzer, meireles, anichebe, hoillet

Would feel far better with Flamini or Merieles coming on as first change instead of Westwood.

Westwood might be fine coming on for the last few minutes of a game we are bossing, just to play keep ball.

But injuries and suspensions will occur, and I reckon if he starts 15-20 games for us this season, we don't even make the play-offs. The same weaknesses he had in the top flight are evident in the Championship. The drop down doesn't make him look better.

Bendtner for all his faults would be a better back up option than Gestede an'all.  But would that lot come on back-up wages?  Doubtful.

If Schwarzer can still stand up, I'd have him over Gollini.

I thought I saw a link to Meireles just after RDM came in. Can't see that happening anyway.

There was a time when Hoilett was very highly rated. But then the past is a foreign country, isn't it?

It's slightly perturbing that you make valid case for the inclusion in our squad for players nobody seems to want over players we currently employ.

I think it's more a case of nobody seems to want pay over players we currently employ. We were in discussions with Meireles back in March but I imagine he wants one last big pay day.

[Jarpie]

I wouldn't mind Flamini, Hoilett or Meireles on short-term deal or given a looksie. I remember Hoilett being very highly rated and being courted by half of the PL clubs when he joined QPR, probably with ridiculously high salary as they were paying over-the-odds at the time.

Bendtner has even less interest in furthering his career than Agbonlahor.

In his head he's still a highly sort after, CL level footballer. Apparently FCK enquired about a deal when he was released by Wolfsburg and the reply was along the lines of "it'll be a long time before I've sunk so low."

Flamini? I can't understand why no one has picked him up yet.

[Gareth]

Flamini? I can't understand why no one has picked him up yet.

Sure he's had offers but the moment that window shut he became more valuable to teams who lack a central midfielder :-)

Sure Anichibe has earnt way more today signing for Sunderland than he would have a week ago when they had options.

[Matt C]

Surprised Leon Osman hasn't been signed by someone yet although he'll surely end up at Sunderland now.

[JUAN PABLO]

 Mathieu Flamini interests Crystal Palace - but Roma, AC Milan and Olympiakos are also in the hunt

he has good teams to choose from

schwarzer, meireles, anichebe, hoillethe

Schwarzer is in his mid forties, so I can  only  imagine  him  being  picked up as emergency  cover.

He's busy saving the planet. He has founded a chemical company making a replacement for oil.

I'm still available. I am currently unattached but thirty years ago used to play for The New Wheel in the third division of Wakefield and District Sunday League.
I'll just need some new boots.

Holiet was great at Blackburn...looked in the Ashley Young mould but he took the money at QPR and has barely got into a jog since...
