Ok, free transfers are appealing for us at the moment with the restrictions Roy is working under but aside from Joe Cole there arent that many around who are up to the mark for me.
Would rather let one of the youngsters have opportunity, this lad is a centre back / midfielder so if needed why not give Kelly or Ayala a run at CB or Spearing CM
Who's to say they won't kelvo?
In my opinion, experienced, utility cover, (for free), can't actually be considered a bad move in such a scenario.
Please take into account too the fact that; Scharner made more of a positive contribution (in terms of goals/assists) than ALL of our Centre Halves and our two 'holding' Mid-fielders put together (whilst playing for a poor team AGAINST the same opponents as us)....and his potential signing (i would suggest) should cause NO concern.
If we would have had an experienced (free), left-back, to cover for young Insua last season for example; things may have panned out differently for both the lad and the club.
