I see that Riise is looking to leave Roma and a few Premier clubs are interested. Southampton also being linked. He's still only 30 and highly experienced, far far better than Taylor, could it be worth Buck having a chat with him?
As well as the wages, he would be looking for a long contract at 30, I dont think our board would go for that.
Can't see this one. He would be a great asset, but there are a lot of players that we can say that about - it would be hard for a player who has always played at the top end of the top leagues to take a considerable pay cut to potentially play at the bottom end of the Premiership. I think he understands that he might not play for a title challenging side wherever his next switch is, but he won't be expecting to take much of a pay cut in my opinion.
Sa i am with you. east stand you hit the nail on the head i always rated him. That being past tense. sorry dont think he would suit us. He was never the quickest in his prime. with age comes Ian Harte.
