There have been players released from all 20 Premier League clubs from last season and it makes interesting reading to say the least. Below is a possible XI you could have if you were to not spend a penny in transfers and sell off your current team to pay for all signing on and agent fees. Now I admit this team would be a) Old and b) High in wages. However we don't spend any money and we have made shed loads from last season.
Would this NUFC squad made up of free transfers get us to the top 10 finish 'target' next season?
Costel Pantilimon
Liam Ridgewell
Rio Ferdinand
Joleon Lescott
Ashley Cole
Gareth Barry
Frank Lampard
Steve Sidwell
Samuel Etoo
Shola Ameobi (Get him back)
Demba Ba
Subs: Mark Schwarzer, Jon Arne Riise, Mahamoud Diarra, Matthew Etherington, Joe Cole, Nathan Delfuenso, Nicklas Bendtner
Manager: Michael Laudrup
This is a squad (and manager) that could all be brought in for a transfer fee of zero and be lined up for the first game of next season. Judging by the diabolical end to last season, if Ashley wants a fire sale he could do.
