List of released players...... So many names!!

PROAK mentions current club, so won't be anyone that has been released.

and current club may not even be premier league - its just that he's an ex premier league player

Here's just one angle to form an educated guess...

Most average football league players sign deals on a season by season basis, so I'm thinking that if the player comes from the football league and is an ex-EPL player, they must be quite decent to have a deal that was longer than 12 months (and hence their being transfer listed)

So, we could possibly be looking at a relegated team who have over-committed and have to cull - like Barnsley, Burton, or Sunderland

Barnsley have Zeki Fryers, 25, but he is very much loved and would cost a few bob. 

The only Burton option is Ben Turner, 29, played for Cardiff 2013-14 EPL

Sunderland have a whole pile of former EPL pros, many of whom have returned from being away on loan last season: Kone, Djilobodji, Oviedo, Matthews, Love. Most are young. Kone and Djilobodji are both 29, but are probably still good enough to play Ligue 1

From that list, my one guess is Ben Turner, which would be awesome. Chances? 1/1000000
