Four goals in his first three games for Swansea earned Michu the first real bandwagon of the new season. The summer signing from Rayo Vallecano wasted no time in announcing himself to Fantasy managers as Michael Laudrup’s free-scoring Swans racked up the goals with a consummate ease but as the Welsh club struggle to replicate their displays, many are set to offload the midfielder. In this latest members article, we take a closer look at his statistics to find out if there’s been a drop in performance or whether Michu has just been a little unlucky of late:

      Is a City striker really essential for the next 3? All could easily be tight games.

        LONDON (Reuters) - Manchester United have agreed to sign Sporting winger Nani and Porto's Brazilian playmaker Anderson, the Premier League champions said on Wednesday.

        United announced on their official Web site (www.manutd.com) that they had agreed "terms in principle" for both players with Porto and Sporting later confirming the deals.

        Sporting said the transfer fee for Nani was 25.5 million euros (17.3 million pounds) and Portuguese media reported that Anderson would cost United a similar amount.

        Kind of thinking that I will play Rafael and Baines most games with Hughes for home games, so Nelsen and Davies would only be bit part players (and they are the best picks of the defensive bargain basemnt imo). Could upgrade Hughes>WBA/Arsenal defender but am kind of thinking I should keep some funds back.
