This can't be due to us looking to sign him surely   , he has been a free agent since February and no club in the world has actually paid any money for him since the the 2011/12 season, since then he has been on a free or on loan, add to that no club seems to want him for any length of time.

Season Date                 From                To        Transfer Fee
15/16         20 Feb 2016 SH Shenhua Unattached -
15/16         25 Jun 2015 Levante UD        SH Shenhua Freetransfer
13/14          3 Jan 2014 Unattached        LevanteUD -
13/14          3 Sep 2013 Paris SG        Unattached -
12/13         30 Jun 2013 Fiorentina        Paris SG Endofloan
12/13         31 Jan 2013 ParisSG        Fiorentina Loan
11/12         25 Jul 2011 Juventus        Paris SG £6.80m
07/08         29 Jan 2008 Liverpool        Juventus £9.35m
05/06         14 Jul 2005 Valencia        Liverpool £10.20m
03/04           1 Jul 2003 AJ Auxerre        Valencia £850k
02/03           1 Jul 2002 AJ AuxerreU19 AJ Auxerre

This guy has not played at anything like a serious level since being on loan at Florentina in 2012.  Undoubted a very good player back in his hey day, but so was Bobby Charlton.

Right off to bed for a nap, then when I wake up it will be the morning of transfer day again and all of this will just have been a horrible nightmare.

Hopefully soon the FA should sanction the takeover so maybe in January we can get some proper players in and jettison the freebies

They may be free Beefy, but there is still a signing on fee, wages and a squad place taken (the one thing we are not short of) and I doubt they would sign just until Christmas.  Next summer we already have to look at replacing or renewing Gareth McAuley, Jonass Olsson, Chris Brunt, Craig Gardner, Darren Fletcher, and Saido Berahino and that is just to stand still and of course Brendan Galloway will be returning to his own club.

With our record in the transfer market over the past three or four windows, after all the promises, does anyone have faith that we can replace all of those players with suitable alternatives in just one or even two windows and that is without bringing in the extra players we already need.

I'm afraid, I'm very afraid.
