I thought I'd put a premier league release list together. All these players are free. Any worth a bet ya reckon? Arsenal Manuel Almunia, Gavin Hoyte, George Brislen-Hall, Sean McDermott, Rhys Murphy Aston Villa Emile Heskey, Brad Guzan, Reece Caira, Ebby Nelson-Addy, Connor Taylor, Charles Ward Chelsea Salomon Kalou, Jose Bosingwa, Marko Mitrovic, Rhys Taylor Everton James McFadden, Marcus Hahnemann, Adam Davies, Connor Roberts, Aristote Nsiala, Femi Orenuga Fulham Pavel Pogrebnyak, Bjorn Helge Riise, Richard Barriolhet, Jonathan Cosgrove, Zdenek Grygera Liverpool Fabio Aurelio, Stephen Darby, Kristjan Emilson, Emmanuel Gmos, Matthew McGiveron, Michael Roberts Manchester City Owen Hargreaves, Gai Assulin, Sean Tse, Stuart Taylor, Gunnar Nielsen, Andreas Mancini, Ahmed Benali Manchester United Michael Owen Newcastle United Peter Lovenkrands, Alan Smith, Samuel Adjei, Philip Airey, Ryan Donaldson, Stephen Folan, Jeffrey Henderson, Tamas Kadar, Greg McDermott, Patrick Nzuzi Norwich City Zak Whitbread, Aaron Wilbraham, Matthew Ball, Richard Brindley, Josh Dawkin QPR Danny Gabbidon, Fitz Hall, Danny ****tu, Peter Ramage, Gary Borrowdale, Lee Cook, Patrick Agyemang, Rowan Vine, Bruno Perone Reading Andy Griffin, Brian Howard, Tomasz Cywka, Cederic Baseya, Cameron Edwards, Ethan Gage, John Goddard, Simon Locke, Carl McHugh, Jack Mills, David Murphy, Frankie Raymond, Jacob Walcott Southampton David Connolly, Rhaidi Jaidi, Bartosz Bialkowski, Lee Holmes, Ryan Doble, Harlee Dean, Aarron Racine Stoke City Andrew Davies, Salif Diao, Ricardo Fuller, Louis Moult, Thomas Soares Sunderland Craig Gordon, Trevor Carson, Lewis King, Liam Bagnell, Jordan Lavender, James Brace, Brett Elliott, Jordan Cook, Oumare Tounkara Swansea City Jose Moreira, Ferrie Bodde, Jordan Smith, Casey Thomas, Joseph Walsh Tottenham Hotspur Ryan Nelsen, Ledley King, Louis Saha, Ben Alnwick, Jesse Lassen, Oscar Jansson, Kudus Oyenuga, West Bromwich Albion Nicky Shorey, Somen Tchoyi, Lateef Elford-Alliyu, Paul Scharner, Martin Fulop, Paul Downing, James Esge West Ham United Abdoulaye Faye, John Carew, Papa Bouba Diop, Julien Faubert, Olly Lee Wigan Athletic Hugo Rodallega, Hendry Thomas, Steve Gohuori, Chris Kirkland, Mike Pollitt, Michael Girvan, Jonathan Breeze, Sean Myler, Jordan Robinson, Jordan Rugg I reckon you could make a pretty awesome championship team from them. There must be at least a couple that we could/should be looking at. I think there are a lot better keepers than Kenny available there as well
Not all of the players. I doubt Craig Gordan would command huge wages and I think he is better than Kenny A few others like Assulin and Faye could be worth a crack. Obviously players like Kalou we'd struggle to get
Kalou to replace Gradel and Bosingwa for the RB slot. Can't even see Bates having any trouble paying wages for these players.
I like the idea of McFadden. Very creative player who can score a few. You never know re. wages. If wages weren't a problem, then I think Saha would top my list.
Craig Gordon last week turned down a three year deal with Celtic. I can't say why he did this, except to say that perhaps the wages of around £15,000 per week were not what he wishes to work for. He has no other offers and having not played first team football for some time, it's amazing that he appears to think he's worth more than £15,000 per week. Celtic have now signed Forster from Newcastle on a permanent deal.
McFadden is a pain in the arse to be honest, he moans almost 100% of the time and isn't a team player. His time has come and gone and I would suggest the training he's doing with Motherwell just now, may be his best option for a permanent 1 year deal.
Striker Aaron Wilbraham joins #cpfc on a two year deal. - funny as palace's problem last season was scoring goals...not much gonna change with this signing
What a list! Thanks Josh. Standouts for me immediately are Hugo Rodallega and Ricardo Fuller, they would kill Championship defences with their pace and power Zak Whitbread may be useful for the squad, did well at this level.
Paul Scharner (No brainer, class act) Owen Hargreaves (Worth a shot if he is up for it) Peter Lovenkrands (13 in 29 for Newcastle in Championship) Gai Assulin (One for the future) Ryan Donaldson (Good prospect) Jordan Cook (Needs a second chance as he has talent)
Anytime for you Billys Definitely agree with Scharner and Hargreaves. Would love for us to get Assulin and he would replace Gradel quite well I feel. Lovenkrands did well at championship level with Newcastle but hasn't done anything since, that could work but it might not, not sure I'd take that risk I don't know anything about Ryan Donaldson and Jordan Cook though
