Free agents to come

[lyndhurst green]

34 year old Carlton Cole has played 13 games since the end of the 14/15 season, scoring no goals.

so we have gone from not paying a fee for a player, to taking players on loan, to taking free agents, what is next ? getting players out of retirement ?

Both Taylor and Diagouraga were free agents, as is Church so what is the issue with signing a free agent?

Anthony Stokes - what a waste of talent.

Sunderland in 2007, came down to Home Park and tore us a new one. Agreed.

He's a nasty piece of work though. Previous conviction for assault and looks like disciplinary issues at Hibs. He can have all the talent in the world, but wouldn't want him anywhere near a green shirt.

Same could be said for Nile Ranger who once again finds himself as a free agent following disciplinary issues at Southend.

How far we have fallen from the bottom of league 2 to the middle of league 1?

Taylor was under contract with Oxford when we signed him.

Nothing wrong with free agents, quite often they are playing the market and been a bit stung like Reuben or Toums but also very decent calibre available.

Taylor’s contract was cancelled by mutual consent making him a free agent.

I meant regarding monies available, we paid 300k ,400k, and 500k for players only 10/12 years ago

Fallen, or become sensible? How prepared are we to accept the position that the board have set out? That we don't buy success, we earn success. That we don't run a deficit on football operations, we live within a budget that balances cost and income? That we invest by generating a surplus and through allied commercial activity - the grandstand for example. That the aim is to over achieve on a balanced budget? I'm afraid I don't think that people have heard that message however many times the board have said it. And we think that gates being higher should mean we are stronger than other clubs in the transfer market. Well, not if they are prepared to chuck money at it and make a loss. And I am totally comfortable with us not doing that

Hmm remember how much McLean cost us? Money does not always buy you talent if spent incorrectly

Many clubs spent more money before Bosman came in.
