Free agents

Think I read somewhere Shanghai had a change in ownership and are in crisis, so they're looking to offload Drogba and Anelka. Anyway doubt they'd become free agents.

Yeah, I heard that on EuroSport too.

In all seriousness, Ryan Babel would not have been bad to pick up for cover. We're playing 4-3-3 which would suit him. Frustrating player, but there's no denying he IS talented.

Don't think he'd been interested though, really made an effort to get back to Ajax to revive his career. Bought off his contract at Hoffenheim for a few million, and is on only 5000 pounds a week at Ajax now.

Ah I see. Always liked Ryan. Thought we never used him properly.

If only he could have learned to play with his head up.

Suarez does that too sometimes. Aggravating to see pros make such schoolboy mistakes

What about Drogba has just being released, id take him but then Fsg wouldnt pay his wages

There will be some good players next year (provided they don't sign new contracts obviously)

Nothing right now though, would much rather give Morgan or Yesil some games than get Owen or Klasnic.

Drogba's playing in china. Hence not a free agent.

The chinese team have just released him so he is a free agent, think Anelka has being released as well but im not sure

He was on £10m a year in China, £200,000 a week.  I wouldn't pay that.

Neither will Fsg prefer to watch us struggle for goals

So he signed in June and released in August?

Neither will Fsg prefer to watch us struggle for goals

You dont think they actually watch do you?

Ya Anelka has just being released as well

Our desperation is summed up by the fact that I'd even take Owen. I never ever thought I'd say that.

Thought crossed my mind in my lowest hour of desperation, bit no no way

Kalou and Klasnic seem the best shouts so far

Kalou is playing with Lille

Ya Anelka has just being released as well

Really? Thats the one so snap him up. Hell score goals

Ya think id gamble on Anelka would fit into the style of football

Seen reports stating they could be sold, none confirming they've been released.

If Anelka and Drogba really are available and we don't go after them we're nuts

I'd take Drogba for a season no doubt but we'll never in a million years pay close to what he'll want and I'm pretty sure he said he'd never play for another Premier League club.

All the reports are saying they have being released.
