    The 33 year old, is one of the most influential home grown players of recent times. He is without a club since leaving West Ham in August.

    He was recently linked with a move Sunderland to join big Sam but Sam quashed that rumour.

    Would he come here? Why not. No one has come in for him, he is a northern lad so move could bring him closer to friends and family.
    Could we afford him? Not in his hey day but I guess question is does he still want to play or hang up his boots? And if he wants to continue playing he may have to follow opportunity.

    Nolan could be the perfect compliment for our young side. Who needs Joe Cole lol...

    Would be an unbelievable coup but agree, it'll never happen.

    He's good enough for most of the bottom half teams in the Premier League still and I'm sure somebody will come him for him in the next week or two when injuries start coming in, realising the January transfer window is still miles away.

    I'd take him but his wage demands would put a dint in us, unless he'd take a pay as you play

    Johnson wouldn't want him. He's too experienced and has probabley forgotten more about playing the game than LJ even knows so would be an immediate threat to his "authority"! I reckon this appplies to at least 75% of the older pro's out there so this "we need experience" claptrap is more than likely just words to keep us happy.

    A few weeks ago Johnson said how brilliant it would be to sign Kevin Nolan.

    Johnson wants experience it's the owner that doesn't.

    The player-manager role has worked well for us before. Allan Clarke, Norman Hunter, Danny Wilson. All top players seeing a route into management. It works. It could work again
