As said by many others, another good bit of business.
Just need to sort the forward line now and we're ready.

BBC website now carrying the story:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/14348411.stm?
Leicester City are set to sign St. Etienne midfielder Gelson Fernandes, BBC Radio Leicester understands.
Switzerland international Fernandes will become the Foxes' 10th signing this summer and teams up with manager Sven-Goran Eriksson for a second time.
The 24-year-old joined Eriksson's Manchester City from Swiss side FC Sion in 2007, and made 59 appearances.
At the time he was described by the former England boss as "the best young player in Switzerland".
However, Fernandes lost his place in the Manchester City side under Mark Hughes and moved to French side St Etienne in a deal worth a reported £2m.
He has made 33 appearances for the Swiss national side, notably scoring in their 1-0 World Cup victory over eventual champions Spain in 2010.

I may be a little too optimistic/deluded/stupid here, but I hope that an improved midfield will lead to better support and more chances for the forward line that we appear to be stuck with.

Interesting, I like the sound of that. Although I sense that we won't be 'stuck with' the current crop of forwards we have as I believe we'll sign at least one striker.

I think we will, but matters seem to be dragging on in this area.

We've now a middle consisting of Danns, Johnson, King, Wellens, Abe, Gally, Dyer and now Fernandes - who'd be in the middle for a 442 formation?
