If nobody wants them, then the only way we could get them off the books is to pay them up!
If we pay them off we have to pay up their outstanding salary's now - which means we would blow what little money we had left for any last minute signings (and their wages), or go further into debt.
Hence Samuel, Shittu, Riga etc are still with us.

Yeah I know the realities of it, just wish someone wanted them is all.
