At least the Jason Hoffman links have stopped of late.

First thing you've said I can whole-heartedly get behind. Here here
Last I read it was still only a maybe... and with them signing Lewis Moult, he may find himself down the pecking order.
In the same interview I read, he said he had unfinished business in England, so I don't expect he would be in the HAL unless as marquee on big money.
Tomi is apparently in talks with Legia Warsaw as of a few days ago

I'm not seeing any article saying Dario Vidosic has left Sion FC. Having a look on football websites he's still listed as a player on their books

Pretty sure he's waiting to be offered a contract for next season. Even if he isn't resigned i'm pretty certain his preference is to remain in Europe.
McDonald
Juric would want more coin than he's worth.

5 in 11 starts for Motherwell last season. His time at Millwall was awful but he was a double figures a season at Boro and obviously his time at Celtic was amazing (albeit half a lifetime ago).
He would tear it up here, just build a style of play around him instead of like his Socceroos career was, expecting him to be Cahill or Kennedy or Viduka.
On the right coin, McDonald might be ok - but he'll want marquee wages.Says the guy who thinks Ramsay would be a good signing on the right coin

He's nothing special, just a poacher who's past his prime. Don't know how you build a squad around a poacher. Long balls into the box? We can already do that.

Cooper/Barresi to do all the running behind the front 3 and then just need a solid holding midfielder to lead Pepper/Kanta around the park. Then fill the rest of the spots with anyone on minimum coin until next season.
Surely we should look to Rostyn Griffiths for that holding role. Could do the job of kanta and pepper combined. I know all the fuss about being a coastie etc but the guy is a beast.
Birraz/BK
? Mullen Boogard Lee
Kanta ?
Carney Cooper Alivodic
?
Essentially we don't have a RB, CM and ST. Cowburn is the obvious fix at RB though so we can sort that out no problems.
I'm also hopeful that Kanta can have a breakout year and finally shows off his full potential, cause it's really now or never for him. If he can't perform to the standards of how much he's getting paid he either will have to take a drop in coin or get moved on elsewhere
Also, Pepper is at WSW now

I reckon he will end up at Victory as a replacement for Milligan.
Hopefully Miller doesn't wait till a few weeks out of the start of the season to finalise the squad, would be good to see the squad finalised ASAP so the team has a good preseason and plenty of time to gel, would love to see us sign a marquee but think it's wishful thinking
I think club ownership will decide anything like marquee. Don't think FFA will stump up for a marquee but if Thomson/consortium/etc are keen for the idea, who knows?
I'm not 100% sold on Thompson I know he has knowledge of football and running a club, I'd like someone with more money but in saying that we had that with tinkler when he first took over and we never looked like winning the title under his ownership so who knows... We NEED to sign Griffiths even if it's a player/striker coach role I don't care as long as he has a role at this club...
Oops, Blonde moment. I knew that, obviously can't deal with it yet... Man we really need to find some Midfield re-enforcement's.
Griffiths would be good, Victory probably can't fit him in. So we might be in with a chance if we throw decent coin at him.
I was having a think before. We have approx $800k left, according to some reports.
1 x decent striker = $200-300k
1 x decent mid = $150-250k
that leaves let's say 300-400k to sign a RB and maybe 2 more mids, all on $70-100k (avg HAL quality)
add in 2 more youth players from NNSWPL and we aren't too far off a first team and a mediocre but full bench.
Please correct all the inaccuracies i have probably made.
What is our squad count at now?
And how many of them would we call 'starters'?
