Oh really ? An Italian keeper!  That's just coz rdm is an Italian Swiss.  I thought only after provern or uk provern players especially after the unsuccessful recruitment of Europeans last season. That says Italian keepers are one of the best around and the chap you've mentioned, having done some research , was at no other than Manchester United. Personally I'd like vorm from spurs on a season long loan but likes of Randolph or McGovern would be nice . Any international pedigree keeper really within reason.

Dzsudzsák  Hungary would be good.
As would Brady and Hoolahan.
Gunnarson has experiences in championship football and sigurdsson defender against England was first class.  These guys are all decent and wouldn't say no

How do you know they wouldn't say no?

For the rigt price I think we could do worse than Robson-Kanu but it is a bit risky basing such a thing on a couple of good performances at an International Tourament.  Think there are other areas we need to focus on than up front anyway.  As a good, hard working pro who may get 8 or 10 goals a season he maybe worth a risk though.

He wouldn't cost anything, he's out of contract.

Randolph and McGovern who have spent their careers muddling around in Scotland or the lower leagues. Don't let a couple of good shot stopping performances fool you, they're not good enough long term.

It's a turn of phrase no ? I use this one . Basically in suggesting they would  be willing or interested like when I've asked a girl out to a bbq for example ! I don't literally know they wouldn't say the word 'no' in fact I don't know haha but I think I've used phase right context . I hope so sorry !

Ahh exactly thats why they would nt say no as it's career progression ! Tell me im using that right ! That they show interest ! I'm sure that's right.  Yes this isn't an English lesson

I'm sure they wouldn't say no, but I wouldn't say no to Villa offering me a contract it doesn't mean they should sign me.

Players only got back to training the other day. Expect he wants a good look at them first, even though he probably knows what we need.
Maybe if he has pursuaded the likes Ayew, Amavi, Gana, Vertoute, Gil, Traore, Okore to stay and give it a go for the season, there may not be all that many coming in.....

Why is he magically going to turn from a player who gets three goals per season into a player who gets ten goals per season?

Talksport were interviewing a Wales player or ex player, I forget which, before the tournament and they were going through a few of the Welsh squad and he said about Robson-Kanu that whilst he doesn't score as many as he should, his work rate and energy was superb. I'd be happy to bring him in on a free. He'd be an ideal sub for a start.

If fans were allowed a referendum on every mooted transfer, voting for Robson-Kanu based on this tournament would be the equivalent of voting to leave the EU based on promises made by Johnson, Gove and Farage.   Messi and Ronaldo have managed to look cack in various top level tournaments.

So, as of today, we have signed one player (Elphick) and sold one (Crespo). Considering that our first championship game is in 36, yes 36 days time, I for one would hope that the management team would be getting off their collective arses and start shifting players in and out.
Or is it ,God forbid, a case of to the majority "You feckers got us in this mess, and you feckers are gonna have to get us out"?

I think it's more a case of RDM and Co looking at them all in the Austrian training camp, than shifting in and out
