is there a list of notable free transfers from other clubs?


Heskey will be available on a free. Every team needs a powerhouse

Eta: ambrose would be a good signing, is he free? He played under warnock for palace, correct?

i read that ambrose would be available for less than 1 mil

would be especially good if we lose a player like SWAGgrass

I would love to acquire Jordan Rhodes from Huddersfield Town (1 year left on his contract). Although Striker is not a huge necessity, he can bang in the goals and Leeds didn't have a 20 goal scorer this season for the first time (ever i think).

won't be free as he has a year left on this contract, but he would be a damn good start.

Well, it looks like Jason Pearce will be Warnock's (rumored) first signing of the summer.

Read up on him a bit. Started at Pompey but moved to Bournemouth on a two year deal after not being able to break into the first team. Helped Bournemouth gain promotion from League 2 (where he became captain), and then the next year missed out on promotion to Championship when he was sent off in the final and Bournemouth lost on pens. Moved back to Pompey where he again became captain and won 7 of 9 supporter awards.

"earning himself a reputation as an honest, no-nonsense defender with a drive to succeed"

He won back to back Player of the Year awards Bournemouth 2010/2011 and Pompey 2011/2012.

Looks like it should be a great capture for Neil.

Interesting. Sounds like he could be a great find. We'll have to see if he can make the step up from Bournemouth and post-administration Portsmouth though. With warnock as manager I'd imagine the goal has to be immediate promotion. I remember him saying crystal palace would be his last job on MoTD 3 or 4 years ago...

He has been given the #5 previously worn by Jack Charlton, Jon Charles, and Lucas Radebe.

Hopefully he'll perform up to the numbers storied history!

Paintsil has been terrible since Woy left Fulham. Also, kusczak wants to play, he wouldn't take another back up job

wages would probably be a stumbling block anyway, we have a really talented young keeper(alex cairns) but they probably will send him on loan to league one or two after preseason.

Not a big fan. He was linked to Celtic in Jan. Apparently a big Celtic fan. I'd say Bothroyd 2.0.

Paul Dixon's a good defender for DU

In the Huns firesale, best pickups would be McGregor (you don't need him) and Goian

Dean Shiels from Killie

Ian Black (scumbag) and Rudi Skacel from Hearts

Michael Higdon from Motherwell

From Celtic, the Mexican Juarez is going to be gone. Samaras might be worth a chance. Paddy McCourt is probably off to look for playing time.
