Sunderland are going to need to get one of these in fast. Borini is going to be out of action until Christmas, leaving them with a 33 yr old (Defoe) and a 17 yr old as back-up. | |

I would honestly take a punt on Flamini.
IMO a good part of the reason our defence has looked so shaky is the lack of protection (while Britton has been out or struggling) - Amat and FF should never be left in a position where they are floundering on the floor like beached whales putting stupid tackles in or backing off players running directly at them.
Cork needs to sort his sh*t out in that respect. | | | |

I'm split in flamini, I agree he looked decent last season, but I'd love to give Fulton a go. I think he's a great player for the prem and has always impressed whenever he's been thrown in | | | |

I think flamini is a hell of a shout. he'd be the leader we are desperatley lacking too | | | |
| Free Agents on 08:43 - Sep 5 with 2671 views | AussieSwan |
+1, I'd grab Flamini for sure. Would bring some much needed steel and defensive midfield cover
Sessegnon not a bad shout either, as others have said - cover for Gylfi, and he'd surely give us more than Routledge would on the wing?
I also think Caceres could add something (provided wages aren't a sticking point) [Post edited 5 Sep 2016 9:15]

Matter of time before Sunderland sign 2-3 players on that list... | |

The OP read
"So after a disastrous deadline day, where we probably needed 4 signings, not just a West Ham reject, could we possibly look to free agents?
Sky Sports have a Free agents XI up and dare i say there's some good options there?
http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/10561244/free-agents-xi
Caceres is the pick of the bunch for me "
Critical that we were linked with a West Ham reject but countered it with a list of other rejects... | | | |
| Free Agents on 12:50 - Sep 5 with 2490 views | costalotta |
Sort of... But we are supposed to be short of cash? So, wouldn't make sense to sign a reject for nought (transfer fee) as opposed to 14m ?
Just saying. | | | |

Huw's thinking about "one or two".
Come back in December. | | | |

Caceres let go from Juventus and currently being linked to Chelsea
has won 5 Seria A titles and the Champions League with Barcelona in 2009
Im sorry Phil how is he on the same level to Valencia? A player whos scored 8 goals in 54 games | | | |

Makes you wonder, along with nordfielt getting a new contract whether or not they seem him as the long term replacement for fabianski and perhaps they werent expecting fab to stay after the euros considering how he played. | | | |
| Free Agents on 15:01 - Sep 5 with 2294 views | harryhpalmer |
There are reports of an out of contract player having a trial now. Anyone heard anything? | |
| |
| Free Agents on 15:08 - Sep 5 with 2283 views | jack247 |
Certainly agree with Sessegnon. Could cover Gylfi or the wingers. Doubt he would be first choice, but would make the bench most weeks.
How has Caceres ended up without a club? | | | |
| Free Agents on 15:10 - Sep 5 with 2281 views | monmouth |
Oh f**k. Got to Dai Hoilett if he's still OOC doesn't it? Mind you, at least it offers something a bit different, as he'll have a shot. In fact, now it's hobsons choice I'm warming to it if it were true and if it were him.
I haven't looked at the list, but I bet there's some right old shat on there. | |
| |
| Free Agents on 15:20 - Sep 5 with 2197 views | magicdaps10 |
Where are these reports mate?
Would probably think that with one place left in the squad and being linked with wingers capable of playing up top then Junior Hoilett would be an option. | |

Looks like chelsea are close on caceres. | | | |
| Free Agents on 15:38 - Sep 5 with 2158 views | magicdaps10 |
If he is past his injury problem then he would be a terrific signing for them. | |
| |
| Free Agents on 15:39 - Sep 5 with 2153 views | JackSomething |
That's the important question. He's only 29 and not being able to get in a team containing Barzagli, Bonucci and Chiellini is hardly shameful.
Yet Juventus chose to release him and get nowt for him. Got to be a good reason. The fact he hasn't played since Achilles damage may have something to do with it. Potentially career ending injury? Not to mention a look at his career history shows surprisingly few appearances and lots of injuries. Chelsea can presumably afford to pay him a decent wedge in the hope he recovers, while we probably couldn't/wouldn't do the same. [Post edited 5 Sep 2016 15:45]

| You know, Hobbes, some days even my lucky rocket ship underpants don't help. |

| Free Agents on 16:09 - Sep 5 with 2094 views | Griffting |
Yes. And if he isn't, a pay as you play/performance based deal would be relatively low cost risk as well. | | | |
| Free Agents on 16:38 - Sep 5 with 2048 views | jack247 |
Not do much that he left Juve for free, more that no-one has picked him up. He must be asking mental wages/signing on fee, or clubs are scared by his injury record. Either way I'm surprised no one he wants to play for has taken the gamble | | | |
| Free Agents on 03:15 - Sep 6 with 1845 views | AussieSwan |
Wages probably have something to do with it - as I dare say it would for most others on that list
But he has a raft of top tier experience across several countries (like Flamini) and is only 29... I think he would be a fantastic signing, and certainly add a lot of steel to our defence. A pay-as-you-play contract would work well for us too. But he wouldn't come here if Chelsea have a serious offer on the table (and who could blame him) | |

Well, it's the same old dilemma. Sit on Chelsea's bench or play 30+ league games for a team like us. | | | |
| Free Agents on 09:43 - Sep 6 with 1723 views | Phil_S |
Earn what we would pay to pay 30+ games or earn what Chelsea would pay to sit on the bench with the odd appearance
Can you also imagine the uproar if we signed him and then he got injured straight away | | | |

And on a lighter note
Wales on Line is touting all the players on the earlier list (and a few more)for our Eastern cousins
