Free agents

[brownblade]

We need to move our home games to the training ground then!

Without an opposition that's better than us. Or ideally, no opposition.

Any other free agents out there with names the same as offensive slang for lesbians?

I think there is a player in India called Minjita.

I think there is a player in India called Minjita.

And his teammate Raj Muncha.

Karlan Grant has signed for Charlton

Would have got him in really

 

[Champagneblade]

Not that we need a left back at this stage - that could change if West Ham get Burrows - but Matt Targett close to joining Hull’s relegation campaign. Would have been an obvious option.

Thank heavens he's crap!

With our apparent desperate need of 2 CB's and the obvious cashflow problems and doubled with that the joys of free agents, there are a few of stand outs that might be worth a look dipping into the foreign market (scary stuff) but the below 3, why not have a go, would be interesting having our smallest back 3 CBs being 6'5 ! Back 3 sorted!

1) Tin Plavotić - Aged 29 played in Austrian Bundesliga also had a brief spell with Bristol City in the past, a 6'6 man mountain that plays LCB, might struggle with pace potentially of the championship but depends how deep he plays, a highlights reel here

2) Étienne Youte Kinkoue - A bit of a journeyman with Inter Milan Academy status but also playing at Le Havre again a unit at 6 ft 5 and only 24
Highlights reel seems handy on getting on the front foot with a bit of pace and good in the tackle too RCB

3) For the laugh to get N'Diaye back at the lane, his name sake defender Seydine N'Diaye a huge 6'9 CB
Hightlights reel for a centre half he has a cracking left peg shot on him! Also massively aerial dominant in both boxes

Would any of them qualify for a work permit? Not checked but probably not.

We can have up to 4 players that don't meet "Elite Significant Contribution" for work permit/visa guidelines purposes. I don't think we currently have anyone on the books that would be in the way so to speak. However Étienne Youte Kinkoue played 8 times for France U17's that is in the count and Tin Plavotić did play 2 competitive youth matches for Croatia.

Sadly we're still tied with Zatterstrom, Ukaki and Nwachuckwu in the ESC slots. One left but not sure how any of these meet that criteria?

For the ‘ESC Player’ if “the Player is an elite player and will make a significant contribution to the sport”. In this respect, the FA expects the player to have satisfied one or more of the following conditions:

• played in at least one Youth Competitive International Match for a national team ranked in the top 50 places in the FIFA World Rankings;

Zatterstrom isn't in the ESC slot as he has played for Sweden U21's competitively and they are ranked within top 50. Ukaki and Nwachuckwu are "blockers" so to speak. Étienne Youte Kinkoue played 8 times for France U17's that is in the count and Tin Plavotić did play 2 competitive youth matches for Croatia, leaving one space for our new N'diaye

Dennis Cirkin formerly of Sunderland is still a free agent. If we cash in on Burrows I'd take him, good age and good player with a potential resale value too.

Yep he would be a shrewd pickup.

I can’t understand why nobody has picked him up yet.
Not even seen many credible rumours either, other than a couple of tweets about Birmingham?

 

[Gimli]

The season we reached the play off final, Burrows had an excellent season but there was a lot of talk that Circin was the best left back in the championship - if he’s available and somewhere near that level still, seems an absolute no brainer to snap him up.

Is he?! He's a top Championship left back, at the least.

Edit: Plenty of injuries...

Sounds perfect!
