Allardyce signed 9.
But he also released 5 I believe.
Players In
Mark Viduka
Joey Barton
David Rozehnal
Nijtap Geremi
Alan Smith
Claudio Caçapa
Jose Enrique
Abdoulaye Faye
Habib Beye
Looking at that list, there's a couple of dodgy ones (Rozehnal, Caçapa, Smith) but not one of them that you couldn't see easily holding down a place in a mid-table prem side. It's pathetic how little they have contributed, Viduka included.
Would definitely keep him on a Pay-per-game basis though. Cheap as chips.
