With MK Dons signing the 26-year-old Mali international Ousseynou Cissé on a free transfer from French Ligue 2 club Tours, it got me thinking, could there be any players in France that might interest us?

According to the website transfermarkt this following now third tier Championnat National club players contract expired on 30.06.2017.

29-year-old Congo international midfielder Chris Malonga, who has scored 33 goals from 245 appearances, in a career spanning three countries. The left footer can play on either wing or centrally. He plays for Stade Laval who's average 16/17 attendance in Ligue 2 was 4,917.

'With the Iraqi understood to have had an offer from Bristol City and an unnamed Spanish side, Flitcroft admitted that he is not going to stand in the way of someone who is determined to leave the club.'

“We spoke to representatives,” he told the Advertiser. “Yaser is certainly making it clear that he wants to be somewhere else.

“It’s nothing. I am a big believer that you don’t push water up a hill. You just waste time and you waste resources. So that’s that one.'

Yaser Hughes , any relation to yosser Hughes ?

Will probably continue with Bradford bidding for Wimbledon midfielder Jake Reeves with an initial offer of £150k received and Blackburn have "offers in" for players and are "waiting on replies".

Gareth Ainsworth hopes star duo Aaron Pierre and Marcus Bean put pen to paper on their new deals offered to them recently.

Bean had an excellent second half of last season and has known Ainsworth since their QPR playing days together and Pierre is one of the most sough after defenders in the lower leagues.

“We have offered an improved deal to Aaron. Unfortunately a few top end League One clubs and a couple of Championship clubs have expressed an interest but nothing solid.

“I have been there as a footballer and we respect that Aaron wants to play as high as he can but if there is a club that doesn’t necessarily feel right for him, we here at Wycombe Wanderers definitely want to keep Aaron Pierre.”

Updated list of players potentially available I wouldn't mind seeing at Rovers:

Goalkeepers: Joe Lumley (loan/fee), Connor Ripley (loan), Christian Walton (loan), Joe Wildsmith (loan)

Left Backs : Sam Habergham (fee), Matt Briggs (free).

Centre Backs: Ryan Sweeney (loan), Remie Streete (free), Michael Turner (free), Sean Raggett (fee), Aaron Pierre (free), Thomas O'Ware (fee).

Central Midfielders: Brad Potts (fee), Harvey Barnes (loan), Rohan Ince (loan/fee), Matt Crooks (loan/fee), Michael Bostwick (fee), Adam Phillips (free), Chris Malonga (free), Rodolpho Austin (free)

I'd go as far as to say there is a potential title winning side amongst that lot.  

I'm glad you didn't call it a shortlist!

Is Craig Hutchinson Luke James brother!    Or do I need to go to spec savers!

The former SFA performance director Mark Wotte rated the 22-year-old former Scotland U15/U16/U17/U19 midfielder Thomas Reilly very highly during his time in the role.
