I'm not saying Ledley is the second coming of Marc Overmars but i think its shrewd business to get these free signings to bulk up the squad instead of having the Under 16's on the bench for half the season if we have another glut of injuries. If they are not up to the grade Beckford, Ledley etc would command a decent fee ala Lucas Neil. Gosling,Rodwell,Yak,Vaughan,Coleman,Osman,Vic,Distin,Yobo,Senderos,Duffy and a couple of new signings would be more than able back up for the first eleven
