    Some Decent Players Free

    Out of contract this summer.. this is where we should do most of our business with one or two big money signings..

    Although when I say big money I don't mean the £100m mark.. but I can see another marquee signing

    from the list the players we are already linked with are probably the only ones genuinely worth pursuing. Whilst there is quality players there, they don't really fit the 'club model'.

    The other players are either outside the target age, will have high wage expectations that don't fit our model.

    Che Adams, Pepe etc. Not players that are not of interest to the club.

    Not too many young players in there (not surprisingly). FFP makes it less likely we’d go for players without a decent number of seasons left in them.

    also the older players on free want a big salary and signing on bonus.

    'The Hendrick phenomenon'.

    Not worth the money

    For me the only player looking at other than the 2 defenders we are already trying to sign is Ndidi.

    With those 3 we can put the whole budget on a top RW and a replacement for Wilson.

    Olise would be my first pick for our marquee signing, Prem experience, ideal for Eddie’s style of football.

    There’ll be a lot of interest in him, but if we told him he would be No1 pick for that spot then we’d have a chance.

    Ndidi not a bad shout.
