So we now must look to free agents in the market. There are quite a few who got their contracts cancelled so they could make themselves available.
Any idea who we could bring in?

Not true. We were spending wages on the German defender that fell through and Tayo has returned to Palace. Certainly can find at least one free agent.

Denayer, Mangala, Hector all free agents who would do a job for us at CB. These guys want to play football, so wage demands can't be too high. These are just examples.

We can’t afford the current wage bill adding to it is not an option.

If you think those first two names are remotely plausible, it’s insane even by yourself standards

Something isn’t adding up here. We didn’t get the player because of a points system and wages were agreed. Now we can’t get a free agent? What has changed that dramatically in days? If we are that buggered financially then Boddy would have flogged Hamer, VG etc for cut price deals.

People severely overestimate our pull. Michael Hector, Ryan Bennett are viable options at CB though.

He was from the German lower leagues wasn’t he ? I expect his wage would have been similar to what the youngster sent back to Crystal Palace was on, not a lot, certainly not what an experienced championship player would want I’d think.

We have no money, none. I thought like you until recently but from what I’ve been told we have no money, and by the sounds of it neither do sisu.

Andre Wisdom. Had 3 failed trials since he last played (Birmingham, Sheffield United, Pompey) so should be well within our wage structure

Lets be honest, we all know it will be Ryan Bennet or Michael Hector if we get anyone.

I personally dont see us getting anyone

How long is Sean Morrison injured for?

Doesn't suit playing out from the back but kind of feel like we need a big bastard of a centre half who will head and kick everything because we're far too soft at the moment. Someone with a bit of gamesmanship and able to play the darker arts of the game (translation: a bit of a c**t)

We could certainly do with at least one, but like you, I don't think we'll get anyone

Winston Reid would be a class above them two but don’t know if he’s still in the UK and/or willing to play for a relative pittance
