Players available on a free, good enough for Leeds? This is not every player released by a club, but potentially only those we may look at signing, will try and keep it updated and remove no hopers or not wanteds: READING Jobi McAnuff (Capt) MID BIRMINGHAM Chris Burke MID POSH Tommy Rowe MID Bobby Olejnik GK (Transfer Listed) Fans Player of the Year BOLTON Chris Eagles MID PREM PLAYERS RELEASED Marc Albrighton, Nathan Delfeuneso (Villa) Maroune Chamakh, Kagiso Dikgachoi, Dan Gabbidon, Jon Parr, Julian Speroni (Palace) Damian Duff, Steve Sidwell, John Arne Riise, John Heitinga (Fulham) Matt Fryatt, Elliott Kebbie, Robert Koren (Hull) Michael Ngoo, Craig Roddan (Liverpool) Gareth Barry, Costel Pantilimon, Joleon Lescott, Alex Nimely (Man City) Federico Macheda (Man U) Shola Ameobi, Dan Gosling (Newcastle) David Fox (Norwich) Guly Do Prado (Saints) Matthew Etherington (Stoke) Carlos Cuellar, Andrea Dossena, Craig Gardner, Kieran Westwood (Sunderland) Heurelho Gomes (Spurs) Zoltan Gera (WBA) Joe Cole, Jack Collison, Jordan Spence (West Ham) "For the sake of Leeds United he would break himself in two"
Have you added some on here? I don't remember seeing chris eagles, would definitely take him at leeds
No to any of those apart from McAnuff if BMD is staying. We don't need more 30+ year olds on their way down the ladder looking for their last big contract.
I'd definitely take Rowe, and possibly Eagles. The rest are either not good enough, or too old. We're not going for promotion this season, Cellino's said that already, so I don't see the point in signing anyone over 30.
It seems we're about to release Robbie Koren and he seems settled where he is, it might suit him to go to a club that wouldn't involve him upping sticks.
Lugano and Gera...Lugano has years of experience could do a job for another 2 at Champ level and Gera is quality.
I would take Olejnik without a doubt. Fans player of the year, had a great season, he's young (28 still fairly young for a keeper) and it's a position we could do with. I would also take Rowe and Eagles, give us some more width which we desperately need. Rowe is still young and Eagles is an established Championship player who scores for fun when on form and happy. Finally, think we should offer Do Prado a trial - I think an Attacking Midfield player to link up with the strikers would serve us well - but he's not getting any younger, trial with a 1 year deal if he does well.
So Leeds after Rowe, although Barry Fry has publicly stated he'd be better off signing for Wolves because they're a club going places ... but WTF are we doing trying to sign Andre Blackman, a pathetic excuse of a left back when we've just signed Taylor to a new deal, and have Warnock and White as well? If this is the quality of the the Cellino/Carbone transfer targets we're fcuked, because McD did not recommend Blackman and its laughable to think we're even looking at him "For the sake of Leeds United he would break himself in two"
