Free agent on 18mth deal, anyone want to look through the list of players released yesterday and speculate? I would assume a right back or possibly a winger.

GJ said after the Grimsby game that he is talking with more than one free agent and sounds like he is planning early for next season which is exactly what we need.

GJ never said it was an imminent thing, he just said there are free agents out there.

Sean Rigg maybe. Just released from contract at Newport by mutual consent. Born in Wotton -under Edge, 29 years old, over 350 league appearances.

Not if he's just been released as he will be ineligible for the rest of the season unless his contract is terminated during a window. I doubt it's him but Diego De Girolumo had his contract paid up at Bristol City as did the Austrian keeper we had on trial from them summer 2016, Lucic I believe.

Apparently Rigg has gone part-time because he sees football as more of a hobby now and wants to be a tattoo artist.

Am I the only one who read the article and thought that GJ was simply paying lip-service and basically said if someone was available then we'd consider signing them as a free-agent - not that we were definitely signing someone?
"Free agents are in my thoughts now and if we bring any in, it'll be for the rest of this season and next season, not just short term," Johnson said.

"They are out of contract so they can sign permanent deals somewhere and there are a lot of them out there, so I will look forward to making contact with a couple and talking to them.

Yes, basically what I said in my post above from a few weeks ago. All he really said was you never know who might become available so not ruling more signings if the right player pops up.

How anyone thought otherwise is beyond me. If people misinterpret such banal statements as deifinite targeting of a signing no wonder there is so much disappointment on this forum!

My last post equally applies to whoever wrote the title. You’re wise enough to judge for yourself after reading the details rather than taking headlines as gospel Nesty!
