@Alex_James95: Swift and Sawyers #ccfc

@__mattbennett_: Released players I’d take- Charlie Austin, Gary Cahill. 2 decent players at championship level for free. #safc

@BFCIvan: If Alan Pace is a serious businessman, he’ll bring in a decent manager asap, try and invest into our squad through the foreign market and free agents – and we piss the championship

@abz_QPR: we are not in the race for any of the top championship free agents or expiring contracts which shows what direction we are going in imo #QPR even though we was so close

@Owensara5: For me Charlie Austin. He’s a experienced championship and premier league striker and is currently a free agent. For a season or two who could be a option to keep us stable. #safc

@ChrisHeyes78 on Sawyers: Get him to Rovers now!!

@NeutralStokie on Sawyers: Bring him back @stokecity

@philwill86 on Sawyers: Hopefully we will turn his loan into a permanent move. Stoke fan

@bodge77: Take Pearcey back all day long. He cares about the club #readingfc

@DH_Editz: Yan Dhanda, Alex Pearce, Bradley Johnson, tom eaves, Scott Sinclair all worth a punt. #readingfc

@JonHyde1871: A home coming for Ben Hamer? Maybe Barkhuzien. #readingfc

@Kris_2001: Wouldn’t say love but david McGoldrick maybe a good shout experienced striker #pnefc

@almahon20: Pedersen and Smithies would be two I’d be happy with #pnefc

@BenRogerson10: Pedersen, Smithies, Rothwell #pnefc

@magic_mattyc: If we signed any of these on a free on a sensible Championship salary it wouldn’t be bad business. John Swift, Josh Laurent, Jed Wallace, Darragh Lenihan, Kristian Pedersen #boro

@eab1992: I would take Christie, Mawson and Lys Mousset. All offer valuable championship experience #safc

@MattCrighton: Wouldn’t be surprised to see Barkhuizen arrive at us. Worked under Neil at Preston I think? Alfie Mawson always had a bit of hype but never quite settled so I’d take that. And Christie. #safc
