Must mean they are confident of getting Danny Graham.  Wonder how much MON will pay over the odds for him?

Riise would make sense and allow Bennett time and space to develop. Either that or we move for Cavanda.
Sissoko is exactly the sort of player we need to shore up the midfield. I dont know much about Stephens but his main plus point seems to be his passing ability and workrate which we could also do with so get him in.
Then another centre half to guard against another crisis there. Maybe Douglas as he shouldnt cost too much with being free in the summer. Or maybe go for Hangeland.
Those four should be within budget. If Randy feels like letting the restraints go a little more then an attacking midfielder/forward like Coutinho would be great and give us more of a threat. As well as create more excitement for long suffering fans.

Would be great.

You're just gong to be even more disappointed when none of the above happens.  Stop torturing yourselves.

It's not like we're walking on sunshine anyway, so what harm?

Would happily swap Warnock for Riise.

It would actually be like having a new player come in, without one going out.

Riise can play the attacking full back Lambert wants and has bags of experience.

Too old, over 25 and has too much experience for Lambert!

Does anyone know is the "We don't announce transfers after 2pm" urban legend or does AVFC really work like that?

I'd swap ireland for a mars bar, could tell Dunne he could have the mars bar if he manages to last 90 minutes 10 times this season, might work and would be more value to us than Ireland.
