Not sure how accurate this list is but from it there are a few who could be considered as having a 'former big reputation'.
Only one who could perhaps make a difference (or I have an opinion on
) are;
1 Macheda - massive prospect in his early United days. Would he have been at Cardiff with slade? Probably a little smaller than what we need?
2 Collins John - always wanted us to sign John Collins. Closest I'll get to seeing someone with those names play for us
3 Bechio - didn't work out last time under Venus. Big name in his Leeds days. Has he done some work on his fitness? Maybe? Nah, probably not.
4 Eccleston - unfinished business? We usually hear that banded about when ex players return
5 Keane - we can but dream
6 Amauri - isn't there a song out there for him? probably shit but at least we could have a good sing song on the terrace
7 Cole - another who has had a name in the game when younger but never really lived up to the hype. How did he ever get an england cap? Big and tall; about all he offers
8 Berbatov? Wants a final pay day? Knows how to strike a ball. Unlikely to be us though; doubt he'd accept peanuts
9 MAF - all is forgiven?
10 Odemwinge - used to be good, clearly a bit of a sulker, maybe he's lost pace but could be useful f we could ply it on the floor
I'm bored now. Could go on, but in reality it'll probably be a midfielder
