Free agent, wasn't in demand. And thus nothing like the sort of signing I mentioned. I'm thinking more about your Chalobahs and McEachrans - up and coming talents who are highly regarded but need regular game time.
Would be a touch of irony about it if we were to finally land a talented young Chelsea loanee the summer Gus actually leaves the club. But it's the sort of signing I suppose David Burke and his recruitment team might have been working on for a while.
I imagine a player like Ake would be of use...
