Free Agent Strikers

[Father Jack]

OK so the criteria is they must have been available on a free since January 31st to sign on at any club,
John Carew is the only one I can think of....any more?

Transfer List - The PFA

 

[ees complicated no?]

Transfer List - The PFA

I see there's a huge selection -_- pains me to say it but Id really think about mido.

 

[The Merry Prankster]

Clutch that straw.

 

[Stat Brother]

A 'professional' goal scoring footballer out of contract for nearly 3 months.

That's not straw clutching, that's walking from a plane waving a sheet of A4.

 

[Pevenseagull]

Adriano

 

[Biancazzurro]

Mido and Vassell both on that list - good enough for the bench?

Read that former wigan player amir zaki is another. As shit as carew was at wetsham he is still a better option than barker imho

That would be the same Mido that was released by Barnsley for being fat and shit.

 

[ewe2]

Vassel would be OK.

 

[HAILSHAM SEAGULL]

Mido would probably fill the bench

 

[GingerBeerMan]

Buckley is a better option than anyone on that list, and it means we wouldn't have to fork out another 10k in wage per week. If the worst happens, stick Buckley upfront.

 

[Superseagull]

You would have to question the fitness of any of them. They would probably need a 4 week crash fitness programme before they could go near the first team.

Why is Agdestein out of first team contention? That is what it says in the Argus today.

Maybe he's not shown enough in training?

 

[BensGrandad]

Simple he isn't good enough as he has little knowledge of where to take up position and when. One of the greatest requisites of a good striker is to know where to be and when to seize the opportunities when they come.

Where has this 'myth' which I think it is unless somebody can prove otherwise, about players being out of contract on 31st January being the only ones eligible to sign, come from.

I read that Bolton have cancelled Kevin Davies contract and he has joined Wolves on a FREE TRANSFER NOT A LOAN and he was contracted to Bolton on that date. If I have misunderstood his transfer I will apologize now.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

It's not a myth.

You are not allowed to cancel a player's contract so he can join someone else.

Think about it.....

If you could, transfer windows would be meaningless

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Carew
Van Nistlerooy ?
Shevchenko

 

[yxee]

You can release a player, but the other club isn't allowed to register them for competitive games outside a window.

How have Bolton done this with Davies joining Wolves n a Free Transfer as he was out of contract and it has widely been publicised that his contract was due to run out at the end of the season 5 days before he completed 10 years with them.

Where I think it has been confused is clubs would only do it if a player was near the end of his contract and not going to be offered a new one at that club. They wouldn't cancel the contract of a player they could sell and get money for


yxee this applies to your post a well
