Joe Cole. He could be next in.

He's a Redknapp signing for QPR if ever there was one. Four year contract, £100 k a week.
What ? Are QPR reigning the spending in a bit then ?

If we do sign Hoolahan at least we know he can score at the Holte End ;)

Joe Cole 1/9 on Skybet to be a Villa player.

Wow. I suppose that wouldn't be a terrible gamble.

Cole on his own , might be worth a gamble..but add in Sendaros , rumours of Bendtner and Bent/Hutton now being considered to play and it's not  exactly inspiring stuff.

If Cole signs then that might mean Norwich still haven't calmed down enough to sell Hotlips to Villa

Yeah, uninspiring is the word alright, but then again, if we are operating in the freebies market, you could argue you've improved the squad for sweet F.A.

Bendtner > Helenius?  Probably. Based on experience alone.

Pilkington > Albrighton? Possibly. Although I thought Marc was excellent when he came back in so time will tell.

Joe Cole > Wes Hoolahan? You'd have to say yes surely. Both a similar age don't forget, and Cole not only played more games last year but has a far more impressive career pedigree.

Ashley Young back would be good.

Come on now, we're playing Football Manager 2004. Václav Drobný is no longer with us, so it must be Mathieu Berson.

2 more players in the right positions (holding midfielder and maybe a winger) and mid table could be achievable.

Maybe, if those 2 players are Yaya Toure and Arjen Robben.

Well if we only sign those 4 players we will still have a shocking squad. Who will our full backs be all season? Two strikers returning from bad long terms injuries plus a couple who managed what, 4 goals all season last year? I am also of the opinion that our manager is absolutely awful, which doesn't help.
