Sidney Govou would be an interesting transfer, not a prolific scorer, but maybe because he gets played out on the wing so much, but a player that has done well on the big stage for France, and needs to reach his full potential, not sure on wages, but an interesting one indeed! Are we covering for injuries here, or giving him his striker position back!............. please log in to view this image
Do keep up Hacker! His agent has come out with the fact, that some moves are not about money, the guy simply would love a ticket to play in the Prem, to see his career out, and Rodgers needs a big pat on the back if we pull this off! He is prepared to slot into our wage structure, so don't fret!................... please log in to view this image
Jonathan Woodgate is a free agent as of July 1st, could be a great signing if we could get him on decent wages and wanted to come to us.
Another name being linked with us and two other clubs is Ronald Vargas a midfield Venezuela international who play's for Club Brugge.
hammersmith I have been to watch chelsea a couple of times due to my work loxation against various teams and made the same statement regarding the "bigger " clubs. Yes we could turn up and they could blow us away but we could also cause them problems with our pass retention but the " battlers" could try to out muscle us but hopefully kemy will come to the fore this year along with senna possibly to give us a bit of steel ourselves without losing our normal way of playing

Giles Barnes anyone? Steven Caldwell could be a tidy signing...someone mentioned Hannemann as well, that´d be a decent signing too if Dorus doesn´t renew.
I'd be tempted for a punt on Reo-Coker, Pantsil/Spector for FB and possibly Meite (though his temperament could be questioned)
Not to sure if we could afford a chance at Owen Hargraves , he's just been cut from Man U. Ferguson payed way to much for him at 15 million I think , but I'm sure a Premier League team might get in there with a 4 or 5 million bid . Still young & England managers have used him also so there must be huge potential . P.S I think he could have played for Canada , Germany & Wales also but choose England if I'm not mistaken . Way out of our sights or what ?
Read a rumour from a Toffee that Yakubu will sign a two year contract with us !! Don't know how much i can take with these rumours anymore...
Senna set to sign? http://www.setanta.com/ien/Articles/2011/06/17/Swansea-set-to-seal-Senna-swoop/gnid-97656/
