OK? who's Ashley Westwood? And is he any good?

Swansea want him to replace Joe Allen. Everton are also interested.

Well that sounds promising. Anyone Swansea are after must surely be handy enough with a ball at his feet. Although they did sign Routledge...

22 year-old who Crewe gave the captain's armband to. Maybe the deal for the Charlton lad isn't happening?

I hope he knows what he's doing we've signed a Crewe midfielder. A westwood????? (apparently)

I know it's a bit of a cliche, but if there's one lower divisions club you'd normally be happy signing a player from it's Crewe.

Helicopter just flew by my house, hoping its carrying 3 players we've never heard of to bodymoor heath. Hopefully 2 midfielders and a striker.

According the BBC, Liverpool haven't made a bid for Dempsey. It would be rather funny if Dempsey doesn't his dream move

This is true. Crewe have a fantastic academy.

And I'll also say that if Swansea were interested it's a good bet the lad can play a bit.

I remember when we signed David Platt from Crewe, and everybody said who?

Platty came from Crewe, fingers crossed he's as good.


Edit... Sorry to slow typing missed the platty boat

It would be funny after all of the gloom if we got Benteke, Dempsey last minute and Westwood.

He is quite highly rated Westwood, so could be a decent deal.

Im hoping it stays that way and he can rot in the fulham reserves.

Anyone else seen the Bannan to Blues rumour? Only on twitter so probably nothing.
