Where do you think this player will end up?
He is returning to England and looking for a club. Realistically, I suspect he will end up in the Championship, probably at a Northern team like Blackburn or Bolton, maybe even Blackpool, because his missus is Northern.
Would have thought he'd have given Leeds a boost, but Ken Bates is as tight as a gnats chuff and didn't offer Alan Smith a deal despite fans wanting him back, so that's unlikely.
He's 33 now but he's always been a class player, if incredibly inconsistent, and he was said to be awesome for Galatasary (to the degree that Liverpool were said to be interested in him again just a year ago).
Do you think he could still do a job in the Premier League? Maybe on a one year deal?
Would you have him at QPR? Ignoring the fact that you already have lots of players at the end of their careers.....
... perhaps if you could swap out another thirty something for him?
I think I'd have him at Norwich tbh, on a one year deal, on a reasonable wage. Worth a punt. |

| He couldn't set the A-League a light so not sure he could do much else where although I'm not sure he was trying his hardest last season |

Harry Kewell?
I would laugh so hard if he went to Norwich. He was finished years ago.
Used to be a terrific player, but he's shot now. _________________ Isle Of Wight R'ssssssssss |

Finished years ago? He was playing for Galatasary a year ago, he scored 36 goals in 89 games for them!
Pretty certain he turned down a move to QPR at the start of last season to play in Australia.
I find it pretty interesting that Ryan Nelson and Andy Johnson are good enough for QPR, but Harry Kewell is most definitely "shot". Would have been particularly interested in seeing what the reaction of QPR fans would have been a year ago if he had accepted your contract.
When you compare the impact of Kewell over the past four seasons, and the impact of Andy Johnson, I know which one I'd rather have.
I don't know what a year in Australia would have done to him, if he is passed it then it must have happened over the past 12 months...
.... because prior to that he was one of the best players in the Turkish league!
Feel free to YouTube some of the goals that he scored over there.... left foot, right foot, headed.... scored a lot with his head. Chipped a keeper from 35 yards as well. |

Is she? LOL..... Just figured that she was in Emmerdale so must be a Northerner.
I didn't and don't watch Emmerdale, and she quickly dissapeared after marrying into money, so it was an easy mistake to make.
Can't say I even know what she looks like now, but she used to be cracking, probably put a couple of million on Emmerdale viewing statistics when working the bar at the Woolpack. |

She was in Hollyoaks a while ago looking a bit ropey IMO. Apparently her mother who lives in London is quite ill hence Harry coming back. _________________ RIP Ray Jones 1988-2007

To be honest I think I'd rather see him in the Championship where he could make a real difference to a team and have an impact week in week out.
Rather than becoming a rotation player in the Prem sitting on the bench half the time collecting his pay cheque.
Think it would say a lot about the man, and would make some fans somewhere happy.
He can be a bit like Cardiff signing a Bellamy.....
.... Reckon he could score some cracking goals in the Championship, there's no way that he is "shot" enough not to be a good player in that league.
Putting aside Gunter and Clyne and a few other players, there's probably loads of full backs who wouldn't be all that in Turkey or the A-League.
So I'd quite like to see him sign for a Palace or Millwall, or maybe even MK Dons teaming up with Alan Smith again.
I reckon he'd do a job for somebody in the Premier League, but realistically isn't going to play any more than say 18 games a season in this division now.
Could still be a star at a club like Blackpool.... a Leeds return would give Leeds fans a buzz, but Ken Bates doesn't seem to care too much about their fans, so won't happen.

Happens to a lot of girls..... that's why you should check out their mother before marrying.
If their mum is a MILF, then you know your girl has got a bit more mileage. |

Harry Kewell turned up at Loftus Road before the start of last season with a holdall and asked the security guy if he could let him in. The security guy asked him what was in the holdall and Harry had to tell him it was a load of porn, some knock off Rolex watches and some knock off designer gear. The security guy said "Thank slither for that, I thought you had your boots in there" _________________ It's not the despair that will kill you, it's the hope. |
