    Nippy striker who can finish and has international experience? Also has only ever played for Southern clubs? Ticks all the right boxes, it's worth a try at least..If not Machedo of Man U would do me, the lad needs some game time and Utd seem to have a settled front line these days..Also Tamas Gadar is out of contract at Newcastle, left sided centre back.

    Reo-Coker would be a pretty deent signing. I think he would compliment the two we already have, leaving Cork, Schneiderlin and Reo-Coker fighting for starting births with Hammond as back up.

    Reo Coker is exactly the type if player we need but I don't know if he is the right man for US. Good shout though.

    I don't know, he's coming into his best years so we're probably looking at £4million if Bolton stay up, £3million if they go down. He has a winners mentality and would add to positive environment. The only draw back may be that he doesn't score enough goals and we need a midfielder who will score a handful of goals a season.

    Quashie? Don't really remember him being a fans' favourite.

    Reo-Coker would be a good signing, think his wage demands might be an obstacle though.

    Not sure about Macheda though, he's been a bit of a troublemaker at QPR this season.

    I vaguely remember last summer, about NC telling his agent to get lost after hearing his wage demands. We can surely pay a bit more now though.

    Quashie was captain for a bit wasn't he? I liked him as he always tried, can't remember much else from his time tho. I didn't know Macheda was a naughty boy, maybe not a good idea unless it's just a loan deal then.

    Why would we want a defense-minded midfielder like Reo-Coker? We need a goalscoring CM, as mentioned many times before.

    That Michu would be ideal.

    Michu would not be the player we need through the middle of the pitch. We need a box to box player like Reo-Coker. He isn't just defensive, he provides drive.

    I'd say we have three box-to-box midfielders already. If we sign anyone in the middle, I'd like to see a goal scoring playmaker. Obviously though that is the most expensive type of player.

    Shaqiri has signed for Bayern Munich so no chance.

    I'm going to out a rumour on the website and see if anyone fangs it up over the next few days.

    The winner (loser) for Summer 2011 was DTLW with my Craig Bellamy rumour.

    Who will take the 2012 crown?
