Ole Gunnar Solskjaer - A Manager's Quest

SOLSKJAER TRANSFER LISTS MOORE

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has made his first transfer move by transfer listing striker Luke Moore, saying he is 'unneeded for the next phase of Swansea's rise'. Moore, 27 had been at the club since 2011, and had played 55 games for the club, scoring 20 goals.

Many clubs are interested in capturing Moore's signature, including Hull City, Crystal Palace, Derby County, Birmingham City and Sunderland. However, it is unknown if anyone will meet the £2,500,000 price-tag on the Englishman. If Moore leaves the Swans, they will be left with 1 striker over the age of 21, that being Wilfried Bony.

Luke Moore! Once upon a time, he looked an interesting little player at Aston Villa. Good start mate

Thanks mate

2 players leave the Liberty Stadium

Wayne Routledge and transfer-listed Luke Moore have both left Swansea for a fee of £6,000,000. Routledge is heading off to Southampton for £3,500,000 while Moore left for Hull City for a fee of £2,500,000. Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said:

"While Moore and Routledge are both great players for the team, we need to reduce the wage bill and sell dead wood. Routledge would only be a back-up player and I doubt Moore would get a game this season. We are now looking to bring in a striker or 2, and a central midfielder."

Some good money being brought in but why sell Wayne I want an explanation

He isn't needed

SWANSEA BOOST SQUAD WITH TRIO

Swansea have strengthened their squad with 3 free transfers in the form of Thomas Hitzlsperger, Mladen Petric and Aruna Dindane. All players are in their 30s and have played for big clubs in the past, Dindane an exception.

MY STAR PLAYERS

I've been looking through the Swansea team, and I've finally decided our star players, after many, many hours of deliberation. Here they are:

Why are you signing such oldies? Surely Wales isn't opening an old age home
