I think an 11m player might possibly count as a marquee signing. Being a free is irrelevant, we are not in the 1990's any more.
Misread the post Blue! I can't see any mention of 11M player. £2-3 M more realistically maybe less.
There's some good Free Transfers about then it becomes a bidding war to see who can offer the highest wages.
We really need a Class Forward capable of 20 goals & a really Good No. 10 neither are going to be cheap.
Did you miss the discussion about Murphy going to Cardiff for 11m ? My point was that an out of contract player on a free can be a marquee signing just as much as paying millions for the same player if he was not out of contract. You talk about free transfers as if they are poorer players than ones you have to pay fees for and that just is no longer the case.
And Bishop has proven he is capable of 20 goals a season, and I suspect Yengi will be even more of a force this year. I don't see striker as a vital position to strengthen, but one more as backup would be good because I wouldn't want to start with Saydee up front of those two were both out.
