Trollbrat do you not understand with all the negative ratings how detested you are with your total lack of sports knowledge for your amoeba sized brain. Good luck to Michu in whatever career path he chooses, if you get to play for Spain it shows the quality of the player, all the best I know all Swans fans will wish him well.

Now I know why he disappeared. Shame, he was undoubtedly talented! I'm lucky to have seen Michu, Gascogne and Henry play for their respective clubs and I'm sure the fans will all say the same thing. An amazing talent that did everything for the club, but we wish they were still playing for us now!

He made me loads of points in my fantasy footy! Thanks Michu, top player. Mug off, trolling little oinks. Comment posted by gwynjones22, at 18 Jul gwynjones Superb player who did great things in his relatively short spell with the Swans.
