Can't claim that my memory was good enough to remember I started this thread - http://www.skybluestalk.co.uk/threads/23931-Leon-Clarke-joins-on-loan, but even with Leon there were 'he's got a poor record' posters!

Not too many - also proves threads get taken off topic by trolls all the the time Noggin

Looking at the CET list, I wouldn't mind (some probably wishful thinking)

Mark Bunn
Becchio (will he need time to get over his long term injury though? Will he be willing to reduce his wage expectations in order to prove himself?)
Steven / Noel Hunt - either of these but probably out of our price range.
Jake Cassidy - wasn't he highly rated by Wolves?
Leon Clarke - controversial but I'd have him back
McNaughton from Cardiff - always rated him but getting on a bit now
Joe Mattock
Randolph Austin - highly rated at Leeds but being let go?
Keith Andrews - getting on a bit also but could give us a different option in midfield.
Lonergan - great keeper IMO, always liked him at Preston
Gaetan Bong - just for his name

There are a couple I would want there.

Clarke - yes
Lonnergan - yes

Leon Clarke should be our number 1 target. Make him captain, tell him he's brilliant and we have our 30 goal a season striker, for free

You could say the same about a number of the players on that list.

I wouldn't sign any player that has missed a lot of football in the last year or so, becchio has played just 13 games in the last 2 seasons. Too big a risk when the wage bills so tight.

Too many of that list are on the decline, got to stop signing players on what they did 3-4 years ago and get better at spotting and signing players on the up. Also don't want a squad full of 30+ year olds, looking for a final pay day,

For me I would only consider Clarke and Lonnergan, 1 or 2 (e.g Hunts) will probably get football at anther championship club.

I'd be interested in Leon Clarke or Madine and Maghoma from the Championship released list. Also saw someone say Rory Donnelly got released from Swansea. Anyone know what the score with him actually was??

Signed, Laudrup got sacked, went back to try and prove himself to the caretaker/new manager

Would be good to Clarke partner Samuel reminds me of a couple of other forwards we had.

I don't think there's any chance of re-signing Samuel. He's way too good for League 1 level.

His position at Reading is in the balance and one thing we can offer players is "look what a full season of regular first team football can do for a players career: Callum Wilson."

bigger clubs often mean more competition. You can't beat playing and scoring every week as a striker.

Callum Ball is available and what a scoring record he has about 1in 10 according to wiki

Swindon have released their top scorer, Andy Williams, from last season. Looked very good against us.

Signing him would be the impossible dream. It's just too good to be true.....

Why would they release their top scorer? Selling is one thing, releasing is another. Has he got disciplinary issues?

Very odd move...

Swindon pumped in alot of money this season and failed in their quest, it might be the player himself has requested that he wished to try somewhere else, they cannot afford his wage demands, they want fresh blood themselves, the wage budget has been cut, a whole host of reasons.

No they didn't. They had one of the smallest budgets

Him and Foderingham were both signed under Di Canio on huge wages (for this level) and Swindon can't afford to keep them on that sort of money. So they've had to let them go

The goalie may well end up at Birmingham as theirs hasn't signed a new contract and Doyle was released.

Yeah heard that rumour. Doyle left and Randolph joined West Ham. Would be a good move for him
