Capaldi signed for Palace then

so no left footed left backs for us - deary deary me.

Thats a shame, I liked Capaldi and he wasn't that bad. Could have used his throws too our advantage too

Capaldi was not retained by the club (released) in May. We would have had to pay his wages till the end of June (the end of his contract). He's already spent time on trial at Plymouth.
I think there would've been some very unhappy bunnies if we had kept him, especially on the reputed high salary he was being paid.
