Free players

I would consider bolded ones. Apart from Joe Cole they are nothing more than squad players though. if we can replace Salihamidzic with Hamit Altıntop, it would be good business.

Premier League
Joe Cole, 28 (FC Chelsea) - Centrocampista
Michael Ballack, 33 (FC Chelsea) - Centrocampista
Martin Petrov, 31 (Manchester City) - Centrocampista
Fábio Aurélio, 30 (FC Liverpool) - Difensore
Patrick Vieira, 33 (Manchester City) - Centrocampista
Manuel Almunia, 32 (FC Arsenal) - Portiere
Morten Gamst Pedersen, 28 (Blackburn Rovers) - Centrocampista
Paul Scholes, 35 (Manchester United) - Centrocampista
Alan Hutton, 25 (AFC Sunderland) - Difensore
Benjani, 31 (AFC Sunderland) - Attaccante

Ligue 1
Sidney Govou, 30 (Olympique Lyon) - Attaccante
Kim Källström, 27 (Olympique Lyon) - Centrocampista
Mouhamadou Dabo, 23 (AS Saint-Etienne) - Difensore
François Clerc, 26 (Olympique Lyon) - Difensore
Marama Vahirua, 29 (FC Lorient) - Attaccante
Claude Makeléle, 37 (FC Paris St. Germain) - Centrocampista
Laurent Bonnart, 30 (Olympique Marseille) - Difensore
Loïc Perrin, 24 (AS Saint-Etienne) - Difensore
Petter Hansson, 33 (FC Stade Rennes) - Difensore
Nenad Kovacevic, 29 (RC Lens) - Centrocampista
I remember Morten Gamst Pedersen is a good attacking midfielder/winger when he first time come to EPL, but never hear of him again lately. Is he not good now?

I remember Hutton give Zambrotta hard time when Italy played against Scotland in Euro'08 qualification, but then i never see him played for Tottenham

Mouhamadou Dabo, is he one of the RB that Fred ever mentioned as one of the promising RB there.. How is he development, if he is free i don't mind to get him as backup RB if we can sign a better RB later

Let me stress that Gourcuff is a top player, there is no doubt about that. But the way some here harp on about him as if he is some sort of messiah is what makes me think he's overrated here.

Dabo has stagnated a lot and hasn't developed as well as he should, granted he is a solid fullback he hasn't really developed as well as he should like i said before.

That being said, the guy has been played out of position for two years now at St Etienne, he is being played as a leftback, a position which he obviously is not comfortable playing. But due to their financial problems and subsequently a lack of personnel, the manager is forced to play him there. I don't know maybe if he is played in his favored position he might as well reach his potential, but its a risk as he hasn't played regularly in his natural position for two years now.
