Arsene Wenger is under pressure to splash out the check-book and spend some of those £58 M gained,But will he ?.
If Arsene is having cold feet involving in the “inflated” market for top players,Here are 5 Free agents that will cost nothing in transfer fees.
1. Lars Jacobsen (32)
The Dane was released by relegated West Ham last season and is currently sitting in his sofa somewhere in Copenhagen in boredom.A talented defender, Jacobsen featured in all games for Denmark in the 2010 FIFA World Cup.Capable at playing a right back or right sided central defence, he won 3 league championships with FC Copenhagen before moving to England.Injuries hampered his spells at Everton and Blackburn before he was signed by Avram Grant at West Ham last season on deadline day.He featured regularly for West Ham in 2010/11 before being released.
2. David Carney (28)
A talented Australian who lost his way at Blackpool last season,Carney is an integral part of the Australian defensive line with 39 caps to his name.After winning the Eredivisie in 2009/10, Carney atrracted interest from Spain but his move after the World Cup in 2010 to Blackpool was unsuccessful.Carney also scored for Australia vs Germany in a friendly on March 29,earning a draw for the Socceroos.Carney can play at Right Back or Centre Back.
3. Jlloyd Samuel (30)
Samuel received an England call-up in 2004 but since then his career has been spiralling downwards and was released by Bolton this year.Samuel has loads of experience in the EPL with Aston Villa and Bolton and with Arsenal‘s second-choice Left back Armand Traore undergoing a medical at QPR,Arsenal just might have to sign a left-back and Samuel’s non-price tag will help !
4. Jason Koumas (32)
A player who deserves to play at a higher club according to many in England,his inconsistent spell at Wigan due to changing of managers saw him being released this year.A creative midfielder with good dead ball ability he has earned 34 Wales caps with 10 goals.With the heart of midfield looking stable as a plastic bag,Koumas just might do it
