I've just noticed he is out of contract with Derby at the end of the month. Would be a cracking signing and just what we need in midfield since we are lacking in this area. Noticed he never plays for Wales since that drink drive incident. We could help him back on track. I know wages might be the issue but for free surely you gotta look into it. The more Welsh players the better.

He will have to be a lot better than he was last time here

I've no doubt in his ability just wages would be a issue. He's on 30k at Derby but as a free agent with sell on value I think it's worth it with a slight wage cut maybe. Even at 30k it's worth it because his transfer value would be a few mill.

Agree in principle with the exception of the 30k wage, we really need to leave those days behind us. He's a great player on his day but a wage like that may upset the apple cart with the rest of the squad. :bluebird:

We could lose Bacuna for 30k a week and again this guy for 30k a week no salary change but massive upgrade.
