    So who are the players available on the cheap this summer?

    ive heard recently that Juninho at Lyon is on a free now but 34
    Darron Gibson is supposidly out of contact
    Liam Miller is without a club
    Jermaine Pennant is another
    Jacobsen and Valente at Everton
    Danny Murphy at Fulham
    Davis and Pamarot at Portsmouth

    The Newcastle ones:
    Owen
    Viduka
    anyone with a release clause

    at Villa ive heard Salifou and Stuart Taylor are out of contract and we are linked to Man City's Sturidge who is out of contract soon but a tribunal fee would hav to be payed as he is under 23 or something.

    In Spain the names that stand out are Cannavaro Maniche, Seitaridis, Sylvinho, Julian De Guzman, Joan Verdu, Fernando Morientes and two goalkeepers of note are Sebastian Viera and Jerzey Dudek.

    edit: some kind soul who for a week cant post here supplied me wth a link to all current out of contract / free transfer playesso here it is.

    Darren Gibson was just a random rumour. He is still under contract.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 722 ✭✭✭busted flush


    The biggest one is Michael Owen, hopefully Everton will snap him up!

    Jermaine Pennant should have a few clubs after him.

    I think Gibson's contract is up shortly and also Frazier Campbell. Then there is the Tevez situation although he is certainly not free.
    Lucas Neill might be staying at West Ham but he is one that would certainly attract a lot of clubs.
    Davis and Pamarot at Portsmouth are also out of contract. Although with Portsmouths new found wealth they probably stay put.
    Cacapa will certainly be leaving Newcastle, and you have Michael Owen and Mark Viduka there as well. Plenty of others too I'm sure with contract clauses.
    Danny Murphy at Fulham, they have a few more I believe also.
    Jacobsen and Valente at Everton.
    Ballack, Hilario, Stoch and Mineiro at Chelsea.
    Is Rosicky out of contract still at Arsenal? Bischoff joined for a year, don't know it he signed a new contract either.

    In Spain the names that stand out are Cannavaro Maniche, Seitaridis, Sylvinho, Julian De Guzman, Joan Verdu, Fernando Morientes and two goalkeepers of note are Sebastian Viera and Jerzey Dudek.

    Did I read somewhere that Cannavaro is on his way to Juventus?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,107 ✭✭✭✭~Rebel~


    Yeah, Cannavaro to Juve is already a done deal.

    A few of them are retiring though.
    Campbell is interesting. Pompey happy to get his mahoosive wages off the bill.
    I wonder where he'll go.
    I always thought Kameni was highly thought of too.

    You must follow Liverpool to say that :)

    I wouldn't wish MO on any club..bar Liverpool :D
    Constantly injured and I definitely don't think he'll suit Everton's style of play anyway.

    Blackburn just signed South African midfielder Elrio Van Heerden from Club Brugge on a free. - link
    Also I think Setanta Sports News said Aaron Mokoena is going to Portsmouth on a free too.
    EDIT- yeah I got a link from BBC that confirms it- link
