They should pull a Galvin - just go ahead and replace Ciro with AOB.

We signed our best (May) with that approach. If we're the only ones with money at the time, it gives a lot more leverage than if you're going up against 3-4 other teams for a signature. The worst thing we can do is to go waving around that we have cash and limit our bargaining position. I'm...
