QuoteIn a similar vain Mark Knnedy is back playing at Cardiff as a left full back. He might provide an alternative in that position.
Speaking of left backs, does anyone know if Stephen O'Halloran is due back from injury any time soon?
Stevie Carr's on the comeback trail with Brum, couldn't be worse than Kelly)

Finnan interviewed on goal.com: http://www.goal.com/en/news/12/spain...-playing-again
Steve Finnan is out of the up coming games due to hamstring problem - he's a big miss for us!
does this mean Kelly starts again? Felt a little sorry for him last time out. The media didn't go easy on him.
McShane could get the nod over Kelly.Originally Posted by shakermaker1982

Nor should they have! His first 20 mins nearly cost us the game.
I'd fear for either of Kelly or McShane as both are rusty and short confidence but I thought during the Bulgaria game that McShane would have been the better option in hindsight (though I'd have picked Kelly beforehand). I'd go for McShane against Bulgaria.
There was a time we could have fielded a first 11 comprised of full backs!!!
We were spoilt for quality and its a bit disconcerting not to have it there.
For such a long time our full back positions were safe and secure. Not any more.

Is Foley in the panel. Perhaps its time to take a chance and give him a go.
Always look on the bright side of life
I read somewhere this week that Finnan doesn't have to return to pre-season training for 2 more weeks to give him more time to find a new club. Is he severely home sick?
I heard on the Off The Ball podcast this morning that he can't wait to make his pre-season start this Saturday for his Spanish club. He's declared himself fully fit and can't wait to put in a good season in Spain.
Excellent, if true.
Nice. I though Espanyol got relegated last season? Have no idea why. Just realised now they survived. I remember they were quite a bit adrift at the bottom of the table for a while.
Finished 10th after a run of form at the end of the season propelled them up the table
Tenerife, Real Zaragoza and Xerez were relegated
According to this - http://www.skysports.com/story/0,195...422757,00.html - Finnan is "fit and raring to go for the new Spanish season"
That's great news about Finnan. Nakamura joined Espanyol in the summer and will make a name for himself in that league, I'm sure of it. They've some excellent players and could well be a top 6 team this season.
Finnan back to the Premiership? Taken from the sun so probably made up.
STEVE FINNAN is being chased by Sunderland, Stoke and Wolves.
Full-back Finnan, 33, left Liverpool for Spanish side Espanyol last September but is keen for a return to the Premier League.
Espanyol sporting director Ramon Planas said: "We are negotiating to cancel his contract.
"Hopefully we can reach an agreement which works for everybody."
errrrm, I thought it was Betis, Recre and Numancia that went down this year... thought Zaragoza are now back in the top flight??
Finnan's contract to be cancelled by mutual agreement at Espanyol.

A Wolves move would have Foley and Finnan vying for Right Full.
