The new season is just round the corner and we have had a few players in and are awaiting maybe one or two more.We have signed Phil Senderos,Joe Cole,Kieran Richardson and recently Aly Cissokho.
Senderos,Cole and Cissokho have all played at Champions League level which should bring a wealth of footballing know how to the team.
Roy Keane joining was met with mixed views but for me was a good addition to AVFC bringing in a man who is a winner at the highest level,who has managed,has guts and connections.Im all for Roy Keane and think Lambert and Keane will do well.
Now onto recent rumours of players linked with AVFC.
There is nothing concrete in these rumours so take them as you will.
There is a lot of talk of Carlos Sanchez the Columbian DM from Elche joining AVFC.It is not concrete but he is said to be joining at the latest Tuesday this is just talk so let’s see what happens.
Also another rumour is we have tabled a new bid for Ki which is a deal Roy Keane has had his hand in sorting out but we will have to wait and see on that one to.
Would love both in to strengthen the midfield which is in my opinion the main priority….utv

It emerged yesterday that Elche midfielder Carlos Sanchez may be a target for Aston Villa, and reports in Spain now say that he is to fly in for a medical this morning and sign a three-year contract after the clubs struck a deal. Elche are keen to bring in a replacement quickly and are thought to be in talks with Swansea City over Jose Canas.
Why is nobody updating the website anymore? We have just signed a player!

Great comment on Vitalfootball – “we now have concrete at the back, rock in midfield and when Bentenke is back a diamond up front”
Love Sanchez’s comments on the OS. UTV
Concrete at the back
Rock in the middle
Diamond up front
Long brown turd as a Manager
Yippee 😀 welcome senor Sanchez may you do the club proud.UTV
Oh La Roca oh La Roca Oh La Roca claret n blue no 24 he’ll be wearing oh La Roca claret n blue
Welcome to ‘the rock’…….
Top 10 here we come! Impressed with this signing and Cissokho. Fair play to Lambert. Whenever he has spent half decent money (Benteke, Vlaar, Kozak, Okore) they been good players. Lets hope Carlos and Aly work out as well!
Agreed Langford; PL has come in for a lot of criticism, some deserved, some not given the restrictions he has been operating under. I think his open acceptance that ‘young and hungry’ hasn’t worked is a plus not a negative UTV
Restrictions or not, Lambert is tactically clueless and that takes no investment!!
Get rid of this turd.
Blimey didn’t know we signed him till I came on here. Never seen him play but sounds exactly the sort of player we’ve needed for years. Well done 🙂
Oohah…never seen him play? Where were you when the WC was on….oh yeah, I remember now, slagging off the best CB in the tournament, our very own concrete Ron Vlaar!
Hitchens …..I think Randy forced his arm with the ‘young and hungry’ philosophy. Without the bomb squad being available there was an acute shortage of both numbers and finance. This left Lambert very little choice….he had to bring in numbers on the cheap. Thats the way I saw it anyway!
The 6 players I mention above cost approx 22 million. I say thats really good business!
Hang on where does it say we have him ? Twat Lambert just been on mumbling again wife said what did he say, me not a clue, but know this nothing about Sanchez. So where does it say.
Bill…look on the Official Site ….and ffs, sober up! 🙂
