This summers free transfer list...

[Lurchy]

We're all expecting the clubs purse strings to be tightly held this summer, so all expecting some players to come in on free transfer.

Looking at those listed on the below link, there appears to be a few who could come be realistic targets that could come in and improve the squad:

Players like Alex Pearce from Reading, Javier Garrido from Norwich and Ross Wallace from Burnley could all be worthy additions to help build a competitive Championship squad.

im not, i expect a sensible amount to be available to bring in targets. the more frees and bargins the better, but for two or three positions (especailly striker) the club must now recognise they need to be spending. and while i dont follow it closely enough, i gather we're freeing up some of the higher wages so can afford to pay some.

I cannot see us paying a large fee for any players as it goes against what PB has been pushing through for since his arrival, especially after spending big on CMS and Baldock for little return.

We won't be spending large so free transfers could be the way forward

Club needs to adopt a sensible transfer strategy that utilises the money available to be the best of its ability. 3 or 4 of the positions could be covered by frees (also expect a couple of season long loans from Prem clubs to again happen next year) but any transfer money being spent needs to go towards those players that will make the difference, getting a 20 goal a season striker on a free would be extremely difficult.

There's a ball playing midfielder who has Premier league experience with Swansea.
Plus a former third division top scorer and Scotchland international, both available.

I wonder if Dimitar Berbatov would fancy a spell on the south coast. He's there if you opt for Centre Forwards. And Brighton is a bit like Monaco??

Jermaine Pennant from Wigan? Out of contract, their 2nd top scorer with 3 goals from 7 appearances.

Yea, most clubs aren't dumb enough to let a Glen Murray go for nothing

That was the type of player languishing in Romania or Bulgaria on low wages.

who are they then

 

[GT49er]

Just looking at that list - yes please, we'll have Dani Alves and Glen Johnson to sort out the left back position, and James Milner and Danny Ings too, please. Trouble is, there's nothing 'free' at all about that list really, is there?

 

[BensGrandad]

I couldnt see them either. When I clicked on the site it went to up to page 3 which was players who were only valued at 3.75m Not for us.

Do they not seem even a teeny weeny bit familiar?

Well played, for a second there I actually thought you were being serious.

No worries. Think I'll just keep stum for a bit too - this is starting to look a bit amusing! Let's see who else is rubbish at Cluedo ........
