They're free agents, they can sign for anyone at any time, they don't need to worry about the transfer window.
Definitely a missed opportunity with Kane, but gone are the days of us spending £1.25m on a player.
Midfield 3 is a concern if any of the starting 3 get injured:
Honeyman - back-up: Samuelson?
Docherty - back-up: Slater
Smallwood - back-up: Batty
Especially as McCann seems to think Alfie Jones can only play in the CDM position against tall, physical sides - despite him playing there all season for Gillingham, who's fans said he's a ball-playing defensive midfielder, who is good with the ball at his feet.
If James Scott is out long-term, we should also look for cover on the left. There's still plenty of free agents out there - we were linked with Jacques Maghoma earlier in the window, we could offer him a deal until the end of the season.
Surprised to see Kevin Stewart (linked with Melbourne Victory) and Jackson Irvine (linked with Sunderland) are still without clubs.

Herbie Kane has signed for Barnsley, on a long-term deal, for a fee reportedly around £1.25m.
Blackburn Rovers have announced the season long loan signing of Tom Trybull from Norwich City.
According to Sky we had a strong interest in him along with a number of clubs.

West Ham boss David Moyes remains hopeful of signing Said Benrahma despite a last-minute hitch.
Moyes denied reports that the Brentford forward had failed a medical, but the move, believed to be worth around £18m, has yet to be finalised.
Benrahma is hot property after scoring 17 goals for the Bees last season as they narrowly missed out on promotion to the Premier League.
"It's not correct, he hasn't failed his medical and we are still hopeful that something can be done by later today - but I just can't guarantee that at this moment in time," said Moyes.
"Part of his medical is still ongoing. Talking about medicals is private, it is something that has to be done so I am not going to discuss that.
"All I will say is that we have still got hope that we can get it done today."
Moyes and West Ham have also been linked with Bournemouth front man Joshua King so may have a late scramble on their hands.

We brought you the news earlier that Crystal Palace are looking to sign Stoke goalkeeper Jack Butland before the EFL transfer deadline at 17:00 BST.
Roy Hodgson is in the market for a keeper after Wayne Hennessey picked up an thigh/map injury on international duty with Wales, and Hodgson, who gave Butland his England debut in 2021, says the 27-year-old has been discussed as a replacement.
"Obviously we are aware of the problems we would have if it turns out Wayne's injury is a serious one which is going to keep him out for a longer period of time," Hodgson said ahead of Sunday's Premier League match against Brighton.
"That would leave us very light on the goalkeeper front and certainly I know Jack's name is one name which has been mentioned, but he has not been the only name mentioned.
"This is a job for our sporting director Doug Freedman, who is working hard to see what options are available and will then present them to me sometime this afternoon if he has been able to find an option."
England debut in 2021, really?

West Ham lodged a deal sheet by 3pm to get an extension to complete the Benrahma deal by 7pm.
The medical issue couldn’t be sorted in time for permanent deal so working on loan (£4m fee) with the obligation to buy (£21m + £5m) on a 5 year contract.
