    C.C. stated that he would not be taking on any free agents, but surely after watching what we have got from our loanees he must give it further consideration. In my eyes this would be the only way that we could possibly survive.

    I can't imagine that there'd be that many decent free agent players out there this time of the season.

    Joe Ledley was free last summer but we decided to sign a Welsh Umpa Lumpa made from Fibre glass from the same team made from instead.

    If we had any of the wage bill leftover we’d have spent it in January.

    There’s nothing left.

    It would just be unnecessary financial waste at this point

    If they are without a club they'll be miles off natch fitness and sharpness.

    We are down, better to accept it now. I have and I bizarrely cant wait for next season. One step closer to getting rid of the pariahs and parasites!!!

    One step closer to a new Dawn!

    The only option that could be of any use might be some veteran keeper and get Steele and Ruiter humanely put down.

    No, C.C stated taking on free agents was not possible not that he would not, it requires Short and Bain to have the rethink. Do you not think CC would love a little wage budget to go and strengthen with a free agent? Of course he would, we all would.

    I was all for Ledley mate but they're completely different types of player. Had we got Ledley, we still would have needed an attacking CM, given the one we went for has been crocked all season, it shows in the results that it was another Short blunder short changing the budget. But Grayson was 100% spot on trying to get an attacking minded CM. It was essential, the budget left us with a crock, same old same old.
