Just got sent this: http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/en/spieler/vertragsende/basics.html Now before smart-a*ses point it out some of them are loans expiring so pipe down! Quite interesting though. Chelsea in particular face a mass exodus unless some talks take place. Hindsight is a wonderful thing but the likes of Bosingwa would have been very useful this season and for a relatively cheap amount imo. For us it looks like Fab/Almunia and Rosicky are the big names in the balance. I think it'll be good to finally say goodbye to at least one of the 'keepers (preferably both for me) and get a solid back-up for Chezzers. That alone would free up at least 100k a week in wages which is no small thing. I'd also be trying to tie up Rosicky for a few more years. Can't say I've heard anything about either Fabianski or Alumnia having talks.
Wouldn't mind picking up Tim Howard, Jaaskelainen or Craig Gordan as a keeper on a free and seeing the back of both Almunia & Fabianski. Rodallega is the only other that I think Arsenal might be interested in if he doesn't go this window.
Bonstar - Craig Gordon would do for me, not sure how or why he fell out of favour at Sunderland but I always thought he was a good keeper.
he's injury prone, that's the major issue. when he's on form he's fantastic. i've followed him since he was at Hearts and rate him very highly.
I don't like signing mature back-ups. They always get worse over time, through no fault of their own, so it is often very difficult to judge when they pass their sell by date. A mature keper may be all we can get, but it wouldn't be my first choice, particularly one available on a free. There is going to be a reason why they are available on a free transfer, even if you don't know it.
