Sonny Bradley has been released by Luton.
He's a beast of a centre half and was their club captain.
He's 31, but could do a job here for a couple of years.

I have mentioned him a few times, he would be ideal and he is also left footed.

He's good, injury prone tho? I'm sure he missed a chunk this and last season.

Conor Coady would be an incredible loan signing for the Championship. Unrealistic but I sense there will not be a large queue of Premier League clubs wanting him.

Sort of loan signing top championship hopefuls could go for, but my prediction is Luton.

But Ashley Young from Villa?

RWB... being released from Villa. Must live local, and likely to accept a significantly smaller wage to keep playing at a decent level for a year?
Click to expand...
I can see your thinking but he will have options to go and play in sunnier climbs for lots and lots of money. Wouldn't be keen to spaff a big chunk of our budget on players with no resale value

Good leader though. Sometimes worth excepting that a player will miss some games through injury if they offer enough in other ways

Is it worth bringing in someone like that to share the burden with Fadz and keep some experience in the side?

His contract is expiring so doubt it. Maybe coincidence.

Having a look at the other clubs retained lists which players would you take on a free from here :

Championship Retained Lists - The Real EFL

Birmingham City Retained Juninho Bacuna, Oliver Basey, Jobe Bellingham, Rico Browne, Tate Campbell, Alfie Chang, Tahith Chong, Tommy Fogarty, Sam Cosgrove, Neil Etheridge, Gary Gardner, Nico Gordon, George Hall, Scott Hogan, Jordan James, Zach Jeacock, Lukas Jutkiewicz, Brandon Khela, Emmanuel...
therealefl.co.uk
I’d take :
• Maxime Colin
• Tomas Vaclik
• Sam Byram
• Lucas Joao
• Ryan Manning
• Ryan Nyambe

Then from the Premier league apologies but this is the best I could find :

premier league released players – Football Fragmento

I’d take :
• Ethan Galbraith
• Saman Ghoddos

Out of contract, but compensation would be due because of his age. This could be us sweetening the deal over other suitors.
His sister is a family friend, and last I heard he was on the verge of signing for Swansea, who tried to sign him in January.

Mindful of the L2 to Championship step. Kane Wilson was flying for Forest Green last season, got a move to Bristol City and hasn’t really had a look in since early season.

I really rated Wilson, saw him a lot for FGR. Shocked he didn't get a run as he was clearly the best player in that FGR league winning side. Do find it hard not to take Nigel Pearson's judgement on players with a pitch of salt tho.

Missed that! For some reason thought they were still L2. May have been due to watching our playoff final v them again last week.

Exactly, I'd expect us to bring in some loan defenders again, so having another experienced head to share the load would be good. Also it would allow us to rotate Fadz and Bradley, as both are unlikely to play every game, and we looked poor when Fadz was missing.
Either could give 1 to 1 training to the young players which would be a bonus too.

Maybe now's the time for us to sign him then, while his stock's low...?

Believe we had some interest in Galbraith last summer when Badlan was around. Was really highly thought of at United pre Ten Haag's arrival. Will be a decent signing for someone I suspect.

I'm sure there were rumours about us being linked with Jack Colback too?

I'm waiting for people to suggest we go for Lyle Taylor

Jesse Lingard too. What on earth happened to him? He’s been to a World Cup and is now released by Forest.

A massive disappointment at Forrest.

He was only on a 1 year contract, rumoured to be on 200k a week, and only managed 17 starts and was piss poor according to Forrest fans.

So they paid 10.4 million in wages and got 17 starts and zero goals

That's over £610,000 per game!

He really should have gone to West Ham last year, was already a cult hero there and they offered him a longer deal. I'm sure he got way more signing for forest but it has damaged his rep

Fuck know's. The Hutchinson/Hutchison carry-on is the one that really baffles me, sometimes from fans who rate him as one of our best ever, which he is. Sheer laziness and utter disrespect.

I can't believe Taylor was at Forrest for the duration of the season, mad that.
