according to jason dickinson and john brodie in the book the wednesday boys chris brunt was released by boro in jan 04 had a trial at cardiff and then signed for us in march the same year for FREE ...... same with whelan according to dickinson and brodie had a trial with wycombe after being released by man city and then joined us for FREE.

Did we not have to pay a compensation fee because they were under 23 at the time?

Or did it not count as they had officially been released?

Not a bad first 11, subs a bit suspect and generally lacking in freebie strikers!

Mick Lyons 100%

I think he cost 100k. I remember the headline in The Star for some strange reason. They usually got things right in those days.

Think we paid small fees for all of them mate. Madden for me too. But closely followed by magic.

yes your probably right , but then again semedo was not technically a free transfer , as he was out of contract thus a free agent
