Zakuani?
Massively unfit hasn't played a game since January, although yes I know they will all be nowhere near match fit I doubt we will go for a player with a lot of injury problems in the last 2 years...again. |

I'm almost certain Greg Halford (35 in December) played in one of the friendlies played recently (Bristol City/Wimbledon).

Seaborne would be an obvious one for me. Affordable wages. Exeter based. 32. No serious injuries. Just hasn't played that much in the last few years. On current status though I would say he'd be ahead of Curran and Broadbent. Would likely take a pay as you play contract. Once up to speed I'd say he's around L1 level defender. Could be a good option to have in the 2nd half of the season if not now, in maintaining an auto push.

Seaborne is the one player on that list who I am sure can be comfortably ruled out - he’s made about 20 appearances in the past 4 years! I’d also consider the injury that nearly ended his career to be fairly serious too... Obvious my arse  |

The ideal situation is you find someone who is better than this division who didn't want to drop this low in the summer but now finds themselves without a wage at all. Get them in on a deal until Jan and let them walk if someone higher up or with more money comes in. In the meantime, they can treat us like a bit of pocket money and match practice ahead of their big move. The only reason they'd say no is a worry over getting injured before Jan, or they have enough stashed away to not care.

Another injury prone player is most certainly not what we need |

I’d also consider the injury that nearly ended his career to be fairly serious too... Obvious my arse I did say "he hasn't played much in the last few years", which a lot free agents are likely to have not. As for injuries, I'm talking about recently. Not, as I assume a non sporting related injury around fucking 10 years ago. Stupid cunt you are Chang. Who do you suggest then ya twat? |

With Wellens stating he will be dipping into the free transfer market for another centre back I had a quick look at who was available and who may be an option.
Niall Keown aged 24, son of Martin and started his career at Reading (born in Oxford) and been without a club since leaving Partick Thistle, has caps for Eire U21s.
Paul McShane aged 33, ex Man Utd youth player and Eire international alongside Noel Hunt, been without a club since leaving Reading in the Summer.
Marc Wilson aged 32, ex Man Utd youth player and Eire international alongside Noel Hunt, been without a club since leaving Bolton in the Summer.
Danny Seabourne aged 32, been without a club since leaving Derry City in the Summer.
Anton Ferdinand aged 34, been without a club since leaving St Mirren in the Summer.
Any other possibles without them being out of our wage range?
Listened to a podcast last week where James Collins was saying he is without a club (played short term for Ipswich last season) but wants to play on. Has been keeping fit by training with Colchester. Launching a kids' coaching school in London and Newport (so will be up and down the M4). Read he'd been offered a West Ham ambassador role for matchdays so may decide to hang them up if he can't get a club. Don't know if it's at all realistic but he did say in the interview he would be prepared to drop down the divisions to play. He's the sort of old school defender who would be ideal for league two on a short-term contract imo (if fit). |

Nowt to lose with any of them really on short term contracts, if they play and get fit then its a bonus, if they are too rusty then they won't be on massive wages on a short term deal anyway.
Wellens said that the club hold all the aces with free transfer signings as they are without a club and needing wages, even though he suggest ed that some hold clubs to ransom because they know their services are needed short term.
With the wage budget being stretched as Wellens suggested then unless Conorys wages are covered by an insurance payment we will struggle to get anyone half decent anyway.
