KEEPERS
Mark Schwarzer is
the keeper to look out for as he wants a guaranteed first team football and
he
failed to reach an agreement with fulham. The Aussie, 40, has been very
consistent and will
be a good buy for any club for a free.
Ex-Middlesbrough stopper ross turnbull has also been
released by Chelsea after just 7
appearances in four years at Stamford Bridge . Newcastle veteran Steve Harper has also left
the club and looks to join a championship side
unless he plans to retire.
William
Gallas will most
certainly be released by Spurs after his contract expires at the end of
next
month.Injury-prone Richard Dunne is surplus to
requirements at Aston Villa,
Titus
Bramble has already left
Sunderland and ex-England international Matthew
Upson will
also be leaving Stoke City .
Antolin
Alcaraz could become available from Wigan but Reading’s Alex Pearce will be the pick
of the free bunch at the age of just 24.
The Republic of Ireland
international has been linked with a reunion with former boss Brendon
Rogers at
Liverpool after he failed to reach an agreement with his current club.
At right-back,
Newcastle’s Danny Simpson will
tempt a few clubs if his release from St James'
Park is confirmed.
Chelsea’s Paulo Ferreira, Stoke’s Ryan Shotton,
Wigan’s Maynor
Figueroa , Manchester
City’s Wayne
Bridge and Reading’s Ian
Harte are the other defenders likely to be available on
a free transfer
.
MIDFIELDERS
Yossi Benayoun and Florent Malouda will both be available from Chelsea on free this summer
,many clubs will be interested in
them as they are highly experienced but their wage demands
may cause some
problems for the small clubs..
Stoke’s Jermaine Pennant could
be an option for a club in need of a wide player.
In the center of the
park, Gary O’Neil would look a
tempting buy if he rejects a new deal at West Ham.
Emmanuel
Frimpong will most likely
be released by Arsenal ,he has shown some great
potential but is injury prone
and he had a decent start to his career before getting regularly
injured.
Thomas
Hitzlsperger is leaving Everton where he started in very few
games in his short spell
there.
Mahamadou
Diarra ,Giorgos Karagounis ,Chris Baird, Jerome Thomas , Zoltan Gera and
Dean Whitehead are the other
midfielders likely to be available on a free transfer.
FORWARDS
Carlton
Cole will surely attract
plenty of interest after he decided to end his seven yesr old
career at Upton
Park.
Arsenal’s Andrey Arshavin is also available
on a free, he may still prove to be a very good buy
but he is most likely to head to a home club in Russia
. Franco Di Santo is
set to quit Wigan
and West Brom wants to acquire his signature whose own
frontman Marc-Antoine Fortune has
yet
to sign a new deal.
