    For every quality player to stay on top of their game they, like a classical musician, have to practice, rehearse (in Michus case, train), play, practice, rehearse, play all of the time. We know professional musician must practice for hours and hours every day to maintain the the quality of their art. The minute they stop the first thing to go is their quality. Its the same for any intricate skill.

    Clubs buy quality, if Michu had any then clubs would be queuing up for his signature but NONE have come in for him. We know that Michu doesn't have enough quality at this time to even make our bench, worse still, he doesn't have enough quality right now for us to give away, that's the reality of it Dai, no club has come in for him, no club wants him, no club sees any quality.

    There is not one of us on here that will know the fitness of michu or the state of his injury so get real......Michu as we all know is a class player when fit and we would have been happy to have him back if fit like a shot........He is the one that dont want to play for us and not the other way around....we are keen to off load him only because he dont want to play for us again. There wont be a team on this planet that will sign him without first giving him a medical but there are big teams playing high class football still interested in him and until they assess him nobody knows what state he is in......If he should pass the medical then that will solve everything and they will get a player capable of playing high class football and will score goals for them....

    What we do know Dai is that no club wants him, not even us. We also know that no club wants to pay a penny for him and we also know that no club wants him on their pay role. It can be taken then that no club thinks that Michu is 'fit for purpose'. If they did then he'd be gone by now. So, put your business head on and ask yourself why is this Dai.

    There is a reason why clubs are so turned off by Michu at this time, so much so they don't even want him for nothing. It is plain to see that they know something. Ask yourself another question Dai, what is it they know? their lack of interest is mysterious to say the least.

    Currently it appears that Clubs value Michu at less then £0. They seem to think he's is worth less than nothing because, it has been muted, that not only are we expected to give him away for £0 but also we'll be expected to pay some or all of his wages at his new club, whoever that may be.

    This situation is totally unprecedented, tell me of another case where a £20m+ hero has fallen so far that he ends up with negative equity.

    The only thing I see that would turn them off so badly and the only reason why both Michu and his agent are clinging to us like leaches is that he is crocked, not fit to play football anymore.

    Real enough for you Dai? Tell us what your conspiracy theory is buddy.

    That is just speculation though stumpy, you don't know that as a fact. He will be gone this transfer window, or will go out on loan when that window opens.

    But you said big clubs playing high class football. SPL is no better than bottom half of the Championship. Michu will fit in well there.

    You forgot to mention Aston Villa too Dai <ok>

    I've been reading bloggs and speculative reports masquerading as news the same as you, and probably everyone else Dai. But it seems I'm a little more discerning as to what I consider to be truth.

    In both the cases, as well as the link with Aston villa, it categorically states that these clubs COULD be interested. Wow, there's a scoop for you to get your teeth into Dai, but, none of the reports offer any quotes, direct from club, us, player or agent, nor indirect quotes from a source who knows saying anything at all.

    So, Dai, point out the element of truth within these reports that has so easily convinced you that they are fact or are you just using anything to back up your flawed argument.

    There is something reporters say, and they do I know few, "No Quote, No Story". As soon as any of these reorts have a direct link to a source or offer a quote I'll be on board with you but until the Dai, don't kid your self, there is nothing to see hear.

    The truth is like i keep saying that you cant grasp.......We dont know how fit michu is and all we do know is that he dont want to play for us and it's his decision. Monk was expecting him back and would have welcomed him like a shot but it's not to be. If michu is fit then he will be an asset to anyone and if he is not fit then he will remain a Swansea player whether he likes it or not, He has a contract to fulfill and he dont have any choice in the matter if he wants his wages...there is no debate about this at all, Im hoping he does pass someones medical and joins just to solve the situation....A fit michu is class and could easily play premiership football and thats the problem we dont know anything about him today but we do know what he can do when fit and on form.....

    Course it is Jager, but something's not right.

    This is how and why I think I've come to this conclusion.

    This is a player who shone so brightly, who took the prem by storm, a superb striker/AM, a predator around the pitch, lethal in front of goal, our top scorer and talisman. Michu, just two years ago, could grace any stadium in the prem. He played so well for us that he won international cap for arguably the best international footballing teams on the planet. He had a price tag of £20m+.

    He went from being all of that to struggling here, then Roma who let him go to return to us and we've effectively cut him adrift, mutually or not, and told him to stay away.

    Its like hes a footballing leper, no body will touch him. The only things that could make a player untouchable is either chronic injury or a doping issue and I doubt the latter, so imo, he's chronically injured so much so, he can't play anywhere near his abilities any more.

    Sadly it's another one to add to list of players who became stars here but plummeted like a stone when they chose to leave. :emoticon-0120-doh:

    You don't know nobody will touch him as that is speculation, I'm not saying that he is or not, but there is a lot of presumption going on here, like he could be in breach of contract, he is crooked, he is causing this problem. And so on!

    I say lets just wait and see

    Agreed. You can't read speculative reports then pick and choose which one you believe or would like to believe. Well you can, but you're probably way off the mark. Papers rarely report the truth in my experience.

    All we can do is speculate but speculations are thoughts, ideas and reasoned conclusion based on information available at the time. Saying we mustn't speculate on the information and presume conclusions from it defeats the object of the forum.

    Don't think I am saying you can't speculate, what i'm saying is that not all the reports out there are actually based on facts, and there is so little information out there, as both parties are not really saying anything beyond he won't play for the swans any more, therefore there is little conclusion of this matter until the we find out what happens next.
