With the way we rotated against QPR, I can see him fitting into any of the 3 attacking positions behind the striker. He might not be getting games at United but that doesn't mean he's ****e. He was excellent at Dortmund and had a good first season with Fergie. Swansea are also worse than us and they signed Fabianski, pushing Vorm down the order but that doesn't mean Vorm isn't a good signing for us. Putting my Levy hat on, it could be good from a marketing in Asia point of view as well. Anyway, it's unlikely as Klopp apparently wants to bring him back to Dortmund.
Another connect the dots story I read says we're bringing in Welbeck to sell Townsend to get Schneiderlin. Which would be good business, overall, I think, only because I'm tired of wishing Townsend would stop playing 1 on 11 football. But I think Chadli is a better player, and I'd be pretty horrified to see Welbeck start. I'd much rather have the real Shawn the Sheep than Man U's knockoff version.
Swansea have signed Giancarlo Gallifuoco on a one year contract. We released him at the end of last season. Glad to see that he's being given a second chance at a high level and with a team that play good football.
ITK suggests we're still after more signings - presumably a LWF and Schneiderlin ITK also suggests that we're after an Argentinian forward
In other news, there is a rumour going round that Real are looking to buy Falcao - unfortunately this would clear the way for Arsenal to buy Benzema...
I think it's Aguero. He must be pretty pissed at only making the bench at City when he knows he could be starting for the league leaders
Montpellier have announced on their Twitter that we've signed Benjamin Stambouli from them. Talk about an out of the blue signing. 24 year old DM, so I reckon Schneiderlin is out of the question now.
"Un accord a été trouvé entre le #MHSC et @SpursOfficial pour le transfert de @BenjiStambouli " In English: "An agreement was reached between the #MHSC and SpursOfficial to transfer BenjiStambouli". Well... Welcome Benjamin!
Im shocked we have signed another cm. I had never heard of him, just watched a youtube video and he looks very good. Tht will be 6 cm's we have on our books so who goes?
You should see my Twitter feed CJ, so many have suddenly become Ligue 1 experts and know the guy inside-out.

Think it rubberstamps Sandro's departure unfortunately And I think one other may be out the door too. I'd personally be surprised if Poch went past the deadline with Capoue, Paulinho, Bentaleb, Dembele and this Stambouli fella.
I know what you mean SOS! The people on Twitter make me laugh. Like Hugo above (no offence intended mate) they have probably done a YouTube search and based their opinion on that. I am not going to make any judgment yet but it does seem a strange area to strengthen and to take a guy who plays for a team that finished 15th in league 1 doesn't get me particularly excited.
