Raul on a free? It would entirely depend on how much he'd want in wages and how much he was expecting to play.
I seriously doubt that he'd have the physical attributes to cope in the Premiership and he has lost that bit of acceleration he used to have. I fear he'd be Morientes all over again, but you can never be sure, he might be a good bit of business on the cheap. I've also heard rumours about Gutti coming on a free, not particularly keen on him.
Here's a list of some of the players I think would be realistic to try and sign:
Hleb - Out on loan from Barce and they clearly don't need him back.
Flamini - Has barely kicked a ball for Milan but is an effective Premiership player, easily better than Lucas.
Guttierez - For me easily the best player in the Championship, I thought he looked decent when he was in the Premiership too.
Kjaer - we need a centre half and if the rumours that this guy has a 10mil buyout clause are true then sign him up.
Ireland - If we could get him for under 10 mil I'd have him no problem.
Can't think of any more off the top of my head. Obviously we can't afford all of these guys, but one or two of them would be nice business imo. We do need another striker though and a left back, but I can't think of any great suggestions at the moment...
