Can't remember the last time this has worked well for us, especially post transfer deadline day.

Henderson, Hunt, Ramage and the Swede all flopped badly . Mainly as they weren't fit enough when they arrived. Im just hoping with the new Loan rules clubs might terminate contracts more freely and there may be a higher class of player who have had a preseason available.

Pie in the sky but I've just seen Sol Bamba has had his contract mutually terminated by Leeds he'd be a great signing. says its for personal reasons but they had been trying to offload him pre deadline day with no takers.

yeah but he has only paid off this season, we dont want a bunch of players that are going to take 4 months to get into shape

I'll give you Stokes, hes exactly the kind of player id gamble on. FGR are my local team and he was a standout for them. less Hunts more Stokes


Did he come after we had completed preseason tho?

He came on loan didn't he, then signed.

So was fully fit when signed. I'll worry if we sign a bunch of 30 somethings that have been unattached since the end of last season.

He most certainly wasn't fully fit when he signed. He struggled a bit with fitness to begin with (coupled with his asthma).

Diego Poyet has been released by West Ham after they paid his contract up.
He would be exactly what we need but I guess he'll be in demand and may have personal terms outside what we can go to

Payet would be good for our free kicks :) I don't think we would get him after he did well in the World Cup :(

mixed reviews on Twatter, most say they loved him to begin with but has been out of form for a while. we are in the league bellow and need a lump so could do well

It could be that there are mutual consents.
Was thinking the same. Is there anywhere that shows who is in their last year of contract? Should be looking at players on that list that aren't getting game time.

Thr only decent unattached 'free agent' I can remember us signing after thr season has started was Moussa, and we didn't see the best of him until the second season after he had a proper pre season.

Interesting to see what TM has left in his budget. No point hanging onto a load of it until January if we're so far adrift, nobody half decent wants to join us (again/still !)

Why not save some budget, wages for January? It would be bloody sensible to do it.
