Coxaux Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 In an interview with Ghanaian radio, the former Parma midfielder stated that he has cut ties with last year’s UEFA Champions League quarterfinalists. "Now I am a free agent," he told local radio station Happy FM in Accra. "A few issues happened between me and the club so I no longer play for them." The Ghanaian international captain also denied any links to Italian side Brescia - for whom he used to play - or English side outfit Portsmouth, but stated that he was still studying some offers from nameless teams. "Those stories about me and Brecia are not true. My personal trainer works with Brescia and I did a lot of work with him there during the off season so maybe that is where the rumours are from," he said. "But there a few offers I am studying even though I am not in a hurry. I want to make the right choice. At the end of it all the most important thing is that wherever I end up, I will give it my absolute all." Yes please, exactly what we need in terms of a defensive midfielder. A possible drawback is his injury record, but on a free it might be worth a gamble in my opinion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Worth a punt, used to be quality and certainly not too old to get it back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guinness Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 I'd definitely take him for free, would be an inexpensive way to replace Butt allowing us to concentrate funds on getting a creative midfielder and striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
themanupstairs Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 if free and interested, then it's a no brainer. we need bodies anyway Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BONTEMPI Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Quality player on his day and would form a solid base to the midfield 4 Players Saviola Tiago Appiah Taiwo or another and think that would be good enough to push for 6th spot Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkhead Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 I know we need quality players in midfield, but Appiah's injury record puts Emre to shame.. I don't think our acquisition team will take that gamble. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzzieMandias Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Injury-prone, will want big wages, no resale value. We won't be going for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasper Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Does it really matter if he has no resale value when it's a free transfer? Not that I think we're going after him anyway.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Play n pay contract would be a good idea. Small basic wage, huge bonuses to be had. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nobby_solano Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Speaks volumes about his fitness issues that they actually went out and bought Emre to replace him. lol - does make you wonder like. i've not seen him play since he left juve, always seemed like a good player but ^. a pay as you play deal might be worth thinking about though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Just saw on Setanta that Pompey might be interested in him. What is Harry trying to build? I bet they have the most expensive gym soon considering how much money they probably invest in weights... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
