My gripe comes from the fact we never utilise the out of contract market much at all compared to other clubs.
There are always some solid players for this league knocking around that have expired yet we seem to spend a fee. Yes i know wages are usually high, but unless I'm being thick surely getting in 4 or 5 decent proven out of contract players is better than squirting money having a punt at the likes of Dacosta, Hillsner etc?
I mean look at these below that are out of contract this summer that could be achievable and improve us massively
Jed Wallace LWB
Alfie Mawson CB
Kristian Pedersen LB
Will Vaulks CM
Ben Osborn CM
Joe Rothwell CM
Harry Toffollo LWB
Tom Barkhuizen CAM
Yoann Barbet CB
Tom Lockyer CB
Reece Burke CB
Callum Elder LWB
Marlon Pack CM
And they're only the ones i think we could realistically get in wage wise, the list is 4 times longer
Our biggest mistake last window was was turning down Scott Twine and Jamie Paterson and taking a punt on the prick that is Bright, and a has been in Waghorn
Id wager if we had got them 2 in and not the latter we would be sitting pretty in the top 6

Luton is an interesting one, if you look at Transfermrkt a lot of their players are allegedly out of contract this season, have they potentially had a 1 year crack at getting out of the division and spent money they potentially didn’t have?

Joe Rothwell zero chance. Pederson no and would be difficult to sign anyway. Jed Wallace isn't a wing back and again zero chance. Toffolo has a one-year extension at Huddersfield which will probably be triggered.
Alfie Mawson's injury history is poor and his wages still likely far out of reach.
Pretty sure Luton didn't sign Burke on a 1 year deal, nor Lockyer on a 2 year deal.
If Sheff U fail at promotion this season then I suspect Osborn will be given another deal as he's played quite a few games for them this season - I don't think he's much better than what we have anyway though. Have liked the look of Vaulks previously but again not really better than what we have.
I'd avoid Pack like the plague due to his age. He hasn't performed well this season either.
The only one I'd perhaps take a look at Barkhuizen. Can't say I know much about Barbet and Elder.

Barbet is very good, LCB, plays every available minute for QPR. Will sign a new deal there or go to a bigger/richer club.
Barkhuizen has had huge injury problems, only played 13 times & none since January.
re: Luton, I'd suspect those contracts are guesswork or contain extensions. They are always very coy about disclosing contract length.
That would explain that. I thought it was really oddLuton don’t announce the length of contracts for some reason, so I’d imagine it’s guesswork on behalf of TransferMarkt.
Where’s the bid swede on our side going then??We need better defenders - the problem is we are almost resigned to losing our star striker
I honestly can’t see clubs at premier level wanting Hamer but if a lower end club like I dunno Southampton expressed an interest then sell him and get some established championship centre halves.
We are never deviating from a back 3 and we need at least one if not two experienced centre halves at this level. You’d then have a pretty experienced back line and wing backs.
You might be I’m not, eventually probably but not yet.We need better defenders - the problem is we are almost resigned to losing our star striker
If Burnley came down, they would lose Weghorst and I dont doubt they'd be interested in Gyo as a replacement. He totally fits the bill.Where’s the bid swede on our side going then??

Agreed but on the experience thing, I think we'll likely sign younger up & comers. CBs who excel on the ball as well as having a lot of Championship experience will likely be very costly.
There's some very good young CBs in League One ready to step up, it's about getting the blend right.

Its not trueWe turned down Scott Twine? I hadn’t heard that before. He would have been great, what was our reason?

He would not come to us. He was rumoured to be going to besiktasI would sign Wallace as a midfield partner to O’hare
QPR fans rave about Barbet or at least the ones Ive spoke toJoe Rothwell zero chance. Pederson no and would be difficult to sign anyway. Jed Wallace isn't a wing back and again zero chance. Toffolo has a one-year extension at Huddersfield which will probably be triggered.

Ladapo would be a nice pick upA couple of players who are out of contract in the summer who I would like us to go for are Freddie Ladapo and Ravel Morrison.
I know there is no chance I was just stating I would sign him as an AM rather than LWBHe would not come to us. He was rumoured to be going to besiktas

I never said he did it was the poster I quoted originallyWell obviously because he’s never played left wing back before
We turned down Scott Twine? I hadn’t heard that before. He would have been great, what was our reason?

I think it was probably his agent trying to get a move, at the time it did seem a but of a strange one but hindsight shows that it would have been a good moveIt's utter nonsense as is the Paterson stuff
Pretty sure we made Paterson an offerI think it was probably his agent trying to get a move, at the time it did seem a but of a strange one but hindsight shows that it would have been a good move
Not Patterson, Im talking about TwinePretty sure we made Paterson an offer
