I wouldn't be surprised to see Caddis go back to the Scottish Prem to try and regain his Scotland squad place.
It's difficult to see what the incentive is for an established player to come to us.
Under Di Canio it was exciting, the football was entertaining, but most importantly for them, we paid through the nose.
Under Cooper it was the promise of "superior" football and a move away if someone came in, in exchange for not paying a great deal. We also got the better players on loan on because we could genuinely say we played good football and would help them develop. We then signed these players on a similar basis - we'll make these players better, and you'll get a hefty sell-on.
Then Power thought he was being clever by structuring the Luongo/Gladwin deal so Spurs didn't receive as much of a sell-on fee. I doubt that went down well - hardly a way to foster a relationship (but then they did sack his best friend Tim, so revenge was sweet for little Lee). I doubt Spurs minded telling everyone else what Power did either - another way of making sure we don't get first refusal of the best loans. Now We get Feruz and co (Viveash) and QPR players (Ferdinand). Mates looking after mates. Hardly Moneyball is it.
And now our football is not only like watching paint dry - it's failing. It's not superior. It won't make you look like a better player. We don't pay well. The atmosphere has disappeared. We have a revolving door of disinterested loanees and conference level players. The best selling point is that you get paid as a professional athlete for a few months without needing to break into a full sprint. Darts players show more energy.
It's all Power's doing - he controls everything.
Sell that to a player on deadline day when there are other clubs interested.
Otherwise Lee, cracking model.
