Permanent free transfer XI 17:25 - Apr 14 with 2794 viewsmojo

Given this is likely to be the main pool where we search for players in the summer, it got me thinking what our best permanent free transfer signings have been. No loans, no home grown players. This is the best I could come up with

Bart

Chambers De Vos Berra O'Connor

Skuse Legwinski Miller

McGoldrick Murphy Kuqi

Surely we can think of someone better than Skuse?

Mings was only 10k, can we include him?

Surprisingly few good free transfers when you think about it. I was really struggling with a left back.

Campo? Bowyer? Tabb?

If you just let us spend £1m you could add some real quality to that side!

You’re way out with Tommy Miller. He cost 750 grand but he was still better value for money than many free transfer signings!

What? As a free he was excellent value for a number of years. Wrongly maligned imo. It's a bit like Dozzell these days. Skuse used to do a lot of the hard work that goes unnoticed. Someone has to do it.

Apologies you are right. Think he was actually a bit more than that from Hartlepool. Left on a free to Sunderland didn't he. Swop him for Bowyer then maybe

Having given him to Sunderland we resigned him in 07/08 on a free from Sunderland but agreed that wasn't his best spell

Pablo.

I though this thread might start that debate. Technical ability for sure but what we would give for 11 Kuqi's at the moment chasing waste paper around the pitch

Which Pablo would you put in though?

Technically he was only a 'free transfer' second time around wasn't he?

I always thought we got him on a free as his contract was expiring.

Actually, thinking about if as I’m writing maybe we had to pay his club compensation.

Yeah, it was a 'bosman free', but I think at the time you had to pay compensation for players under the age of 24 (including international transfers).

He was v highly rated, so not sure what compensation was agreed. Think it mayve got messy.

Warky was a free transfer in one of his incarnations. I guess it depends how far back we're allowed to go. I think about half of Alf's side were technically frees.

He was extremely highly rated wasn’t he - I really did think the club was going places during that summer.

Unfortunately that somewhere was administration.

Indeed, I was thinking post Bosman ruling to be honest. We haven't had as many good free transfers as I first thought.

The two Dutchmen spring to mind.

More recently, Mark Venus.

Edit, ignore this didn’t notice the word ‘free’.

I think Venus was valued at about £200k as part of the swop deal with Sedgely
