Apologies & Latest Developments

Sorry that the Blog hasn't been updated in a while - I've been in and out of hospital the past week having surgery on my back.  Thankfully, the good staff at the Great Western Hospital seem to have put me right for now!


Anyway, to matters Swindon Town and Paolo is close to signing Alberto Comazzi.  The former Verona defender would be a key player for us, and has experience of playing at the top level of European football.  Paolo's hopefully caught a good one there!


However, I am equally baffled as to why Paolo is entertaining the troublesome Leon Knight.  The former Brighton and Northampton Town striker, who has a very questionable reputation, has been invited to trial with Swindon Town pre-season.  I cannot help but feel that signing him would be a mistake.  He has had more clubs than Arnold Palmer and would be a liability.  Best to avoid him and get a target-man like Ben Burgess or Rene Howe in, or go for a non-league striker like Michael Wilde, Carl Preston or Chris McDonagh.


Also, another departure confirmed today - captain Jonathan Douglas has quit the club and is moving to Brentford.  Good luck to him.
