See Dean Cox example from last season (http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/37351654).
We signed Shola after the window closed last year, but could play him because he was a free agent before the window closed (like Spearing).
Oh, and I wouldn't want Noble back even if he paid us. The reaction to Swindon's second goal and his lack of could-be-arsedness to try and stop the shot coming in showed me enough to know that he's the same player that left us. He's just had a great year playing in the National League without ever having had to try hard enough to get wound up.
