A month too late for Finnan unfortunately. McShane was miles out of his depth in Paris I thought.

Finnan expects to leave Portsmouth in the close season: http://www.football365.com/story/0,1...157620,00.html
Can see one of the promoted teams, or someone like Wigan snapping him up

Any word on where Finnan is likely to end up playing this season? There are only three weeks left until the start of the Premiership season. I can see him getting picked up on a pay-per-play type deal.

It's not worth nothing without an EA Sports Cup medal to top it all off.

Still no word on Finnan? I'd love to see him hook up with a Championship club. Portsmouth even. He needs to play, he's 34 and not getting any younger.

Finnan is a free agent so thankfully he's not restricted by the close of the transfer window tomorrow. In fact, once the window is closed some clubs might take a closer look at him as they won't have a lot of other options available. If I recall correctly Carr joined Birmingham in February 2009 having been unattached since the previous summer. Hopefully Finnan won't be waiting that long for some interest.

Any word on Finnan? I still think he is our best option at RB if fit.

And Kevin Moran and Paul McGrath are still our best options for center half if fit

Saw Finnan play the other week at Carraghers testamonial, was up against a fairly strong Everton team, Yakubu, Arteta, Osman etc and didnt look out of place at all. In fact had a good game. Am very surprised that no one has signed him up yet. Would have thought he would get in to the majority of Championship teams Norwich, Cardiff, Ipswich, Bristol City etc.

Roy keane could probably do with another Irishman to abuse after Jon Walters going to Stoke !

Is he still expecting big wages?? There is no reason whatsoever he cant play for a good Championship club.

Still no word on his situation. How long did Stephen Carr sit out before he got picked up?
07/11/2010, 10:55 PM

Carr actually retired as far as I know and Alex McLeish just happened to give him a phone call.

Any word on steve? He's never officially retired so somewhat odd he hasn't had a club in a year.

was he not at pompey???

His contract was up in 2010 and the club didn't offer him a new deal. Being in administration might have had something to do with it.

As an aside, bit of an outlandish top search suggestion for Finnan on Google.co.uk...

Has any Irish player in recent memory dropped off the radar quite as spectacularly as Steve Finnan. An FA Cup final appearance in 2010 and then gone! He was only 34 and had played a bit in his final season too... Did he just fall out of love with it all or what?

For a defender with a fair few injuries behind him, it's hardly 'only 34'. He was never a very public type, I'd say after Portsmouth he took a look at what offers were available, and quietly retired.

Seems to be the case alright. I'd class him as one of our most under-rated and under-utilised players (shunted out on the left or left on the bench) of the last 15 years or so.
Met him and Kenny Cunningham up in Fillys/Club 92 YEARS ago. They were both drinking orange juice and were really really lovely fellows, even being interrupted on their night to ask about their injuries by a slightly drunk young man in his early 20s. I often think we should have a game, or a show of appreciation for a number of players who have retired in the last few years.
