Blackburn Rovers manager Sam Allardyce has admitted he is "staggered" no clubs have enquired about Jason Roberts after he was allowed to leave.
Allardyce wants to freshen up his strikeforce and has agreed with Roberts he can look for a new club but so far no-one has bitten.
"We both came to an agreement that a parting of the ways was the best way forward and I am very surprised that we haven't had the phone ringing," said the Rovers boss.
"He has a very good track record in the Premier League and there are not many of his type about.
"When everyone is talking about finding a striker here is a front man with vast experience and goalscoring ability yet no one is picking the phone up.
"I am staggered about that one but from our point of view we feel it is better if he moves on and we look elsewhere when he has gone.
"But I wouldn't envisage anyone not coming in and bidding for him before the end of the transfer window because there are not many players of his experience become available at this time of the year.
"He is a home-grown player as well and that is another factor coming into the equation now."
