Ross Wallace

Definitely think it's fair to say this is just one of those 'ITK' accounts randomly picking names off the PFA list of players without a club.

That said, Wallace was a quality player at a much higher level than Beagie.  When he came here, Beagrie was 40, nearly 41, having not played in the top two flights for 6/7 years.

Wallace on the other hand has spent all of his career in the Championship with the exception of last year, when he was a regular for Fleetwood who finished 11th in League One.  

I'm always wary of bringing in players in their mid-30's who haven't had a club for a while.  It doesn't tend to work very often at all.  Wallace would feel a bit like Gary McSheffrey as someone who has a pedigree, was very good, but ultimately there's a reason why mid-season they've not got a club.  We do, however, have a distinct lack of quality in our squad and Holloway has been around long enough to know the type of player who can come in and do a job as opposed to someone who's going to be a waste of the budget...

I fully expect we'll have a few young loan players from Championship sides but also the odd out of contract player fancying one last hurrah.
