Ben Watson only played 12 games for Wigan who could still get relegated, nobody heard of Diouf? Pearce attracted plenty of attention and we still paid in the region of £500k despite offers just a few months earlier of £1million being turned down for him. I expect some cheap back up squad players to walk through the gates but I don't believe we are going to get too many Grayson style players, if we were we would have kept Robinson and O'Dea. Oh and the reason I popped the Youtube up was not because I found him, the player has been linked with us and a possible move.
Am surprised no-one has started a thread on "why don't we offer Didier Drogba a cheeky two-year deal? Surely we could get him at his age, if we jump in quick" <various youtube clips>
i wouldn't be to disappointed with norris if the rumours are true. he played through injuries for a large part of the season and was only properly fit for the last few games and he played really well in all of those. he's a good grafting midfielder thats not afraid of goal and tackles well. definitely decent championship standard player. varney on the other hand is out of favour with a lot of our fans after this seasons efforts. he looked good when we first got him mind you. would like to think norris was one of the 2-4 we are looking to hang on to for league 1 but only time will tell. pearce has been quality this year and is a great signing for you especially with a 4 year deal. he won 7 out of 9 of our players of the year awards this year so that shows you how well he's played despite the circumstances at the club. he is that balanced and reads the game so well that you forget how young he is sometimes. also had the captains armband by the end of the year he's a real grafter and leader.
