    Valley Caff's cat says Bialkowski.
    Only 37.
    Can envisage this. Departed Millwall and very experienced. Age 37.

    Begovic has been mentioned on Twitter a couple of times.

    Played 46 games for QPR last season.
    Now that would be sensational 
    Not a chance we sign him, i know for a fact he wants to sit on the bench and get paid. FACT
    I have no reason to doubt you @Redhenry


    I am confused as to why that’s the case though. He must’ve made a decent living at Chelsea/Bournemouth/Stoke etc. 

    If he doesn’t want to play football anymore, surely he can retire?
    Not saying this applies to Begovic, but lots of keepers  at his age have gone down the No 2 or 3 path at a bigger club, being well paid to hardly ever play, but there to help the first choice keepers. 

    Not being English would count against him, as a domestic keeper as your no 3 helps a PL club with their domestic player quota.

    He would probably be okay though as he was with Portsmouth since 2004 (17 years old), so he would count as having been trained in England for 3 or more years before he was 21.

    Obscure tenuous rumour links based on nothing and typical of this forum to behave as though said players are now signing;)

    10 Years old article, but his homegrown status wouldn't have changed in that time

    Well it's better than no rumours whatsoever I guess. We need Dobson to score a midfield worldie for Wrexham to give us something else to moan about.

    It’s going to be a signing right out of left field isn’t it. 

    Hopefully not Guru, if it's a keeper. No rush goalie for CAFC.

    A name that cropped up on that QPR forum - Alex Smithies - appears to be a free agent after 2 years bench warming at Leicester 

    Edit - Just seen he's retired!

    Fit right in then, 90% of the players we have had over the last ten years or so have played like they're already retired.

    Nice bloke met him. Brum will want him now as we're interested. They're going to get 138 points and score 300 goals and keep 46 clean sheets don't ya know.
    Did the bookies offer you 2/1 on that?

    Why retire when u can be 2nd/3rd choice keeper and earn millions a year

    & Darren Bent, maybe a secret super fan? Does anyone know if he's following Matt Holland?

    Also following Ryan Reynolds and David Beckham, so definitely fighting Inter Miami and Wrexham for his signature
