Finding a freebie, or a loaner is challenging
There's a surprising number of free agents out there. A few eye catching names who could probably do a job as backup.

I normally don't get the clamour for signings for the sake of it but agree this time. We need someone up front. I didn't really have a problem with Surridge leaving for the price but if Dom gets injured we're fucked. Still short even if he stays fit.
I suspect the selection of Marcondes starting up front instead of Saydee was an arched eyebrow to the board along the lines of 'Some of the youngsters may be ready, Saydee isn't. You have to replace Surridge'.
That’s what I was thinking - to go into a game like that without a recognised striker , clearly a message to the purse keepers ..

When Surridge was allowed to leave I assumed that we had an upgrade/Parker preference lined up and a signing would be imminent. Now of course that may still be the case and we should reserve judgement until after the window closes - the deal may well be hanging on other movements, contract negotiations etc.I normally don't get the clamour for signings for the sake of it but agree this time.

And the best bit is we won’t even have to pay to register him as a player as he’ll always be injured. Everyone winsSturridge is available on a free. It's only 1 letter difference to Surridge. If they're worried about wages think how much they can save by reusing shirts with only minor modification.
Talking of one letter difference, I noticed Blackpool have a Teddy Howe on their books. He plays right back.Sturridge is available on a free. It's only 1 letter difference to Surridge. If they're worried about wages think how much they can save by reusing shirts with only minor modification.
Would be a bit of a hassle to sign him and then immediately sell him to Burnley, only to sign him back again. Blake can barely pull off a loan signing, I think we’re asking too much.Talking of one letter difference, I noticed Blackpool have a Teddy Howe on their books. He plays right back.
It might help with the lack of songs thing if he moved to us, as well .
