I see Arteta said the club is exploring every option. If someone like a Liam Delap decided to buy their way out of their own contract and leave themselves a free agent - surely we could sign them as such.
I wonder if that Obi Martin kid, who left for United, is looking over his shoulder now that fate has lent a hand.
