    I’d take Colback and Andy King, if could get them. But unlikely

    Sounds like a perfect match if he came here then.

    Not necessarily, sometimes players just need a fresh start.
    I think a couple of shrewd signings from those lists could add the extra quality that will improve us.

    Not necessarily. Players can be released for any number of reasons. Because the club doesn't want them on the wage bill if the manager would only play them 15 games a season, or there is a younger player in the same position, who the club sees as a long term fixture. Neil Thompson was considered surplus to requirements at Ipswich. Mal Shotton at Oxford. Paul Futcher was released by us aged 33, yet went on to become one of Grimsby's all-time greats playing in the same league.

    Did we ever find out what’s happened to Jared Bird? Bizarre how he seems to have vanished for the past 18 months

    Few decent freebie options there - one or two would be a good way to get some experience into the squad!
    Somebody was joking about Bogle above, but on a free transfer he’s well worth bringing in for some physicality!

    I assume Jackson Irvine, Lyle Taylor and Chris Brunt have got moves lined up already but if not they would all be quality signings for us.

    Winnall...?

    Heyup. Sorry for being pedantic but you've actually agreed with two of my points I think. Not that Im necessarily correct but you're implying some players are too expensive and some are considered too old. That's exactly what I posted. I'm not saying any of those released players wont be any good. All I'm suggesting is that they will be released for the reasons I said and consequently they won't be a fit. Cheers.

    He's 29. In the 4 years since he left us he's earned about £3.3m. Hilarious for anyone to suggest it's been a bad move for him.

    Do you mean they wouldn't be a good fit for the team, or as far as our recruitment policy goes? As these are two quite different things! The point that you make about cost is a very valid one. Back in 1996, signing players like Hendrie and Wilkinson when coming to the ends of their careers (not both frees I know) was perfectly realistic for us. Nowadays, the majority of ex-PL players either don't want to play for Barnsley's wages, and in any case don't need the money as they're already financially secure. Which is a bit of a contradiction I know, as if they aren't in desperate need of the cash then in any case still playing high level football in the Championship for £7,000 a week (still a very lot of money) should still be an attractive option for them, you would have thought!

    Lyle Taylor cited a "life-changing" move as his reason for not playing for Charlton again. Fair to say that's unlikely to be to us!
