That. I'm one of the few that thinks that we're well stocked in the striker department. Signing anymore is going to be demotivational to players like Hambo.
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
I see Michu has been released by Swansea....

I like this thread. It's funny.
1 staying in England
2 dropping to the championship
Yep - all that's needed is a "Nah, I wouldn't have him - he's shit" and we can stick a bow on this thread.
Not having a go at you here, but why are so many people expecting Hambo to make any sort of impact in the first team.
As far as I can tell it is a bit of a punt.
The need for another striker I agree currently isnt an urgent one, however an injury could leave us with few options.

When was he released?
A free agent can only be signed if they were released by a club before the end of the transfer window. In Michu's case I don't think he can sign for any club in England as his release came after September 1st.

Surely Andrea, as NSC's sweetheart, trumps all the others though?
We've got two fit strikers (three if you count Elvis).

He does, but then on the negative side Harley & Kemy almost wipe out the good. Marcos Painter was great for League 1.

True, and to you and I the lack of income would be a serious consideration, and - within limits - any job would be up for consideration. For professional footballers, who are used to pocketing an annual salary every week, the perspective is very different.

Amazing how he was brilliant in his first season at Swansea then shite. How does that happen? Didn't he have an injury at the swans that might be hampering him?

No, we are definitely a striker short.

Perhaps he just had so much money by then that he just couldn't be arsed any more.
Guess that comes under 'attitude'.

He's already taken a pay drop ... he is currently earning nothing. Do you really think he'd prefer to remain unsigned? The best wage he will earn is the highest one he's offered and that might be well below what he was getting.

I think Michu is slightly above our level. He'll be off to Europe probably.

No player will agree to being released without some form of payoff. Regardless of what he received I doubt he's suffering too much.

He is a bit of a punt; I agree. However, what's the point in taking on a player like him if he's never going to get a chance to play?

If only but he will probably go back to Spain or Italy.
Player like him? how so, he is just another youngster?
Why would we play him for the sake of playing him, unless he impresses in the DS there is no guarenteed place in the first team squad.
Currently he is just another Bergkamp or at best a George Barker in my eyes.
