Was reading that we are interested in Michu from Swansea. Anything in this ed or is it just media bs?
{Ed007's Note - I think something's been lost in translation over this rumour, as far as I know Sevilla are interested in signing Michu OR Scepovic so maybe someone has seen CFC's name mentioned and put 2 + 2 together and came up with 1967.}

Based on how he was playing when firat at Swansea would have him in a heartbeat. I reckon these hit whore journos have just been having a peek on here though!

I don't want us to sign him if it is true.
Yes he was good (great even) in that first season but that's a while ago now, and up until then he'd hadn't exactly set the world alight - neither has he done it since.
As well as that, and probably my chief reason for being against the move, is that we simply don't need him. He's not a striker. At best he's a false nine, which isn't what we require. Yes he'd probably walk into our midfield front three, but that's all he'd do - walk. He doesn't have the energy levels or fitness (in terms of his dodgy ankle) to make a difference in Europe, and whilst I'm sure he'd do damage domestically, we don't need him for that.
For the money that is being banded about (simply in wages) I'd rather see it spent on a striker. I've went on about Yusuf Poulson before, but to be honest, there are plenty of strikers in our price range that would make a difference.

I didn't think their was any substance to this rumour like! Just thought I'd share anyway. Thanks Ed.
Is it the end of August the transfer window shuts? If so, how many comings and goings in your opinion do you see happening?
{Ed007's Note - The window closes on the 1st September this year. I think there will be 2 or maybe 3 players coming in but as for outgoings I think it could be anything between one and four.}

Youve set MY heart on Poulsen PP. Looks the business.

Ed I think RD would like it to be closer to 4 going but who wants them? We may even end up with Balde back to us?
{Ed007's Note - VVD? Stokes? Scepovic? McGeouch? And I'm still hoping someone comes in for Mulgrew or Forrest. Earlier this week I e-mailed every club in the English & Scottish Championship and League One to make sure they were aware of Forrest's contract situation and I included a 10 second highlight reel of his entire career, someone somewhere must be stupid enough to take him on!}
