Ivan Campo (FREE and for the expierence)
Lee Sawyer (FREE)

All realistic targets i would think... all of apart from Campo who could want a bit to much money but the rest would be good and promotion to the Championship would be on the cards :)
 
Dorvitte - 250k
Billy Jones - 100k
Peter Clarke - Signing on fee
Jack Wilshere - Loan (unlikely i know!!)
Lee Sawyer - Free (?)
Theo Robinson - 100k
 
Billy Jones who plays for PNE used to play for Crewe. Or is there another one?
 
Dorian Dervite - £250K
Theo Robinson - £100K
Billy Clarke - Free
Dan Harding - Free
Michael Nelson - Free
Matt Ritchie - £75K
Lee Sawyer - Free.

Do that for us RM, Tilly and Brush and I'd be delighted.
 
1. Peter Clarke (contract)
2. Dan Harding or Matt Richards (free) - EDIT - or even both as I believe Richards can play left midfield
3. Dorian Dervitte (250/300k)
4. Lee Sawyer (free)
5. Right winger - christ knows who though (100k)
6. Theo Robinson (100k) or Freddie Sears (loan)
7. Right back (loan)

So we're spending £500k on that basis, with a lot on wages.

Would look to offload Walker (100k) and Furlong (free) to free up some wage space and get some cash in.

Then if we needed to raise a little more then Grant (250k) and Francis (1/200k) to make up the rest of the budget.

Final squad of

GK: Mildy, Joyce, Masters,
RB: Sankofa
LB: Harding/Richards, Herd
CB: Clarke, Barrett, Dervitte
RM: New player
LM: Richards?, Moussa
CM: Macca, Jeff, Sawyer
ST: Barney, Dougie, Sears/Robinson, Revs, Laurent

I'd be happy with that
 
With our spending power I can envisage:

A free transfer left back that no-one else wants
A last minute loan 19yr old centre back from West Ham, Spurs or Portsmouth

...and I think we're about done.

No doubt T&B will still get us near the play-offs.
 
In all our considerations of this question, and wages and the like, presumably if Clarke goes, probably for higher wages than we are currently paying him, then we have all or some of his wages to spend on whoever comes in - Dervitte, maybe (oink oink, flap flap), or at least a centre half who is COMMANDING and has decent league one or even CCC experience. Mind you the Dervitte effect shows that you do not necessarily need to have a lot of experience to come good. Just the talent.

And whilst they were with us, we were paying Dervitte, Harding, Robinson, Sawyer, Federici and Robson Kanu money for their services, even if their parent clubs were also paying some - is that the way it works?

For those who obviously have the inside track on players' wages, what difference does that make to our pulling power?
 
Is this the PNE Billy Jones or the Crew Billy Jones?

Billy Jones who plays for PNE used to play for Crewe. Or is there another one?

There's fullback Billy Jones who plays for PNE who used to play for Crewe, and fullback Billy Jones who used to play for Orient who now plays for Crewe. The latter is a realistic signing, and has come on leps and bounds in the six years since we released him (did a Kightley/McLean and dropped down to ome back up sorta-thing). Reckon he'd set you back a 6-figure fee.
