I hope it's not actually, at least it means we won't have to watch him on Match of the Day every week
AVB misses out on his Oscar. Media dream headline. Reading sign up old boy Nicky Shorey from WBA as a F.A.T. (are Hunts x 2 & Doyle next ?)
Here's a little list just for fun. Top 10 Players still available for free. By Postition: Goalies Allan McGregor Craig Gordon Manuel Almunia Marcus Hahnemann Stuart Taylor Jamie Ashdown Tom Heaton Richard Wright Marton Fulop Steve Simonsen Full-backs Gretar Steinsson Paul Robinson Zdenek Grygera Darren O'Dea Julien Faubert Ricardo Gardner John Pantsil Andy Griffin Lee Naylor Matt Hill Centre-halves Zak Whitbread Danny Gabbidon Fitz Hall Abdoulaye Faye Peter Ramage Magnus Okuonghae Jody Craddock Aleksandar Tunchev Alex Bruce Tamas Kadar Centre Mids Nigel Reo-Coker Sean Davis Hendry Thomas Vince Grella Papa Bouba Diop Brian Howard Sammy Clingan Ian Murray Matt Oakley John Spicer Wingers Sone Aluko Gai Assulin Somen Tchoyi Lee Cook Paul Anderson Richard Garcia Tom Soares John Oster Lloyd Sam Anthony McNamee Strikers Hugo Rodallega Michael Owen Emile Heskey Louis Saha Ricardo Fuller James McFadden Benjani John Carew Mikael Forssell Darius Vassell
There's some very good players on that list, but I suspect many of them aren't far off sorting new deals already.
Are West Ham about to go with a 1 - 2 - 8 formation ? Well they could with the amount of strikers on the books. Liverpool are rumoured to have offered Andy Carroll to Fulham first as part of the deal for Clint Dempsey. You have missed off Anthony Gerrard from that list. Or has he done a deal already with a certain club ? Alex Bruce wont be coming to Hull City for 2 very obvious reasons for starters. Zak Whitbread maybe a good cheap cover option. Jody Craddock is a good player but has problems keeping his dummy in. ++++++++++++++++ Hugo Rodallega is close to signing for Fulham on a F.A.T. from Wigan
I asked this on twitter a few weeks ago. We all thought he was out of contract this summer but despite falling out of favour at Cardiff, he wasn't on their release list. So I'm not convinced he is.
Just been announced that Paddy Kenny has signed for Leeds. No big surprise there and another reason why Leeds are our favourite team outside of the East Riding
They couldn't sign a more appropriate player. Along with Brown, Becchio and Snodgrass there's plenty of reasons to hate them. Weren't they linked with Andfy Griffin at one point too? He's a typical TWS player if ever there was one.
