    Simply because he made public overtures towards the Napoli job - he's from Naples - and the Fiorentina board didnt like it, claiming they could no longer trust him. On the pitch he has done a good job playing great football and finishing higher than the massive spending Rafa at Napoli and reaching the Europa semis.

    Steve Mclaren wants to make Wolfsburg striker Bas Dost his first signing.

    He scored 16 in 21 games last season.

    I assume he had him at Wolfsburg? He looked good in the Europa League.

    Actually, he didn't, he signed for Wolfsburg the season after McClaren left, though he could have been involved in scouting him before he went.

    I think the opposite. Expecting McLaren to do a decent job with the Mags finishing in the Top 10 with ease. Didn't they finish last season in huge profit and have stated they are now ready to spend. I reckon they will spend £40-50m this summer, some of which paid for with departures

    West Brom have made a bid for Rennes striker Habib Habibou.

    Great name.

    Aston Villa are in talks with released Manchester City defender Micah Richards.

    Liverpool are lining up a £10m bid for Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Nabil Bentaleb.

    Mclaren really isn't a great Manager though a bit of a bottler. I fully expect Newcastle to be struggling to keep there heads above water again. Plus like has been mentioned we spunked 40 odd million and got relegated.

    Is the George Swan that just signed for York the son of our favourite broadcaster?

    The fact that they got him as a FAT is reason why they can afford to pay him £100k a week. Also dont forget they have the Bony wonga £28m to spend.

    IMO, Ayew will do well to score 12 goals next season in the PL.

    That's where I remember him being, but apparently he just left Wolves.

    Considering he's not a striker, I suspect Swansea would be ecstatic if he scores 12 goals next season.

    If they seriously have agreed to pay him over £20m in wages, then they've really not no benefit at all from him being available on a free.

    Well whoever they are will be far better than what you come up with.

    Man City to York City via Wolverhampton. My how the lad is sinking fast.
    But good luck to him. Maybe he can work his way back up to somewhere in the future.
    His York deal is just one year.

    Ayew said that he can play out wide or as a striker. If Swansea are still in the PL this time next year his wages wont be an issue anyway. Ayew is a mate of Gomis.
