You lay it out beautifully Stat Brother, and I can't disagree with a word of this, but do realise that El Pres is lurking and willing to demonstrate his superior grasp of footballing finances.
Bridcutt: wanted away; refused to play in January
Barnes: wanted away; wanted more money than the club offered him (to the best of my knowledge)
Vicente: you're a hopeless romanticist (although you're not alone on that) -- name me which club has offered him a contract?
Bridge: Reading have paid...
Those were the exact same players that I had in mind, but I don't think that makes the exercise flawed. Quite the contrary, Zamora has done a good service here, but those examples suggest that there should perhaps be another category such as 'to be decided'/'under review'.
