Clubs are looking to be smart in the transfer window trying to get the best deal.
What's a better deal than free?
Here are 12 BIG names who are without a contract that Championship clubs should be targeting.
Martin Olsson
The 31-year-old Swede is without a club since his time at Swansea expired. Quick and with good delivery, there are worse left-backs out there and Millwall could be interested.
Boaz Myhill
At 36 he’s not one for the future but has all the experience having played at every level. Could be a player that could push and teach Dillon Phillips at Charlton.

:Championship GossipKadeem Harris
Cardiff forward has been told he can leave after four years in south Wales. Who ever picks up the 26-year-old on a free will do very well.
Jonas Olsson
A canny operator at the heart of the defence having worked under Mr Pulis. He’s not young at 36, but he’ll be a solid squad player in a long season.
Joe Ledley
The somewhat forgotten man. Left Derby with a bitter taste in his mouth and wanting to prove he still has something to offer. A sturdy centre midfielder who has played at all levels with success.
James Morrison
The youthful looking 32-year-old is often the unsung hero. He has goals in his game and could add experience to many an outfit.
Bakary Sako
The former Crystal Palace and West Brom is without a club since his short spell at Selhurst last season. The powerful winger would cause a real threat to any side in the Championship…if fit.
George Boyd
At 33 he’s past his best but those who saw his fleeting appearances for Sheffield Wednesday last season will know he is capable of turning a game. Won’t stay without a club for long.
Albert Adomah
A lot of people were surprised when Aston Villa didn’t offer him a new contract, Bristol and Millwall are thought to be keen on the speedster.
Josh McEachran
At 26 he still has time to fulfil the huge potential he showed whilst in the youth set-up at Chelsea. Brentford failed to unleash it, but could another side?
Lewis MacLeod
Similar to McEachran, Brentford let him go, which was a surprise considering Ranger and Leeds were touted suitors last year. At 25, he’s in his prime.
AND
Jason Puncheon
The Palace thorough-bred is keen to get game time. He may not get the chance in the top flight but should a Championship side get him signed surely they will be towards the top half of the table, still has that wand of a left-foot, if not the pace.
