I decided to sign these players because they were mostly free agents and all of Championship quality. I'll go over each one now.
Matthew Briggs - Released by Fulham, being of Championship quality and with potential to be a good Premier League left back, I couldn't pass him up.
El-Hadji Diouf - Pele listed him as one of the best 100 footballers alive, now he is playing for three and a half grand a week after tax. It's funny how things turn out.
Faris Haroun - Capped by Belguim, and a class midfielder were two reasons why I brought Faris in. He has a lot to bring to the team and he should be a regular starter for us.
Sam Hutchinson - Sam came out of retirement to return to Chelsea, he was released and I snapped him up. The lad has determination, he came back from a supposed career ending injury to play football. Introducing a regular starter and our new vice-captain.
Jobi McAnuff - Jobi is experienced and his legs haven't given up on him yet. He will be capable of doing a job from the bench. But he will likely end up starting games when he is fit.
Chris Kirkland - Capped by England, experienced, free and talented. Kirkland will provide competition for Matt Gilks (when he is back from injury - SPOILER).
Jesse Lingard - Lingard will bring depth to a now filled attacking midfielder department. If there is a chance, I will bring him in permanently, but I can't see it happening.

Check back tomorrow for more signings!
