Free agents

[Owl14]

There’s a free agent in the premier league who’s been released earlier 

 

Could do a job for us but I don’t know if he’s better than big Dave tbh 

 

He’s scored a few goals and played for a few big clubs 

 

think he’s called ibrahimovic or something like that 

[Hookowl]

Nah he's injury prone.

Not sure if you are being serious or not.

I am guessing not.

 

But If you are look at his trophy cabinet and his goalscoring record. It is pretty impressive.

[Hawkowl]

Aging ,injury prone player on massive wages.

What could go wrong?
