4. Ron Vlaar
If you're a Premier League side in search of a solid, reliable, no-nonsense defender Ron Vlaar is still going on a free. In the real world, AZ Alkmaar made a December swoop for his services, but until the transfer window update, he's very much available on a free. The Dutch international's wages aren't even a stumbling block; he's quite simply a must-sign. Aston Villa fans must be tormented knowing that their side released him in the summer, as they're now rotting at the foot of the Premier League with an incredibly bleak future ahead of them. Vlaar is an experienced head at the peak of his career, with very decent technical and mental stats, while he's also strong and particularly quick for a big defender.
