    Before he became linked with us in the media I'd never heard of Roque Mesa, so lets hope he's as good as his promise. At least we've actually bought someone now, hope its just the beginning with a decent CB and RB to come.

    Routledge is more a midfielder than a winger imo, he's a player more comfortable on the right of a diamond but not so much on the wing. Narsingh for me is the exact opposite, he's an out wide, run first pass second type of winger but he did seem to find it difficult to adapt to the introverted style demanded by Clement. I think he'll better with a pre-season worth of coaching under his belt. I hope so TLF because, as you say, we need quality wingers, adaptable ones who can thrive in any formation.

    Surely Routledge has played 90% of his football out wide for us, he has played the odd game as a 10. I am still to be convinced with narsingh and I hope he proves me wrong, but I see him as bang average and will be on his way this time next year. But, you never know he may just come on. I would like to see him sold along with Montero and Barrow and 2 wingers brought it. Just my opinion but we need someone who can get the ball into Llorente, with a little quality. The only ones who did it last year were Olson, Gilfy and if I remember Carroll.

    I know it is only wiki, but read the first line.

    Anyone else hearing that we are about to have a double setback - Gylfi & Alfie on their way?

    No . Is your glass half empty., But what will be will be. I don't think Routledge has the pace to go past a defender on the outside these days. Narsingh had the reputation of being a top provider and he did seem to have that in his locker in his first two games but then fell away.

    Not a case of a glass being half empty or half full.

    I've been told to expect some "news" in the next few days & and merely asking if anyone else has picked up something similar.

    Fab
    ??? ??? Mawson Olsson
    Mesa Carrol
    ??? Siggy ???
    Llorente

    This is who I am happy to see in the starting lineups so far. Still a bit of work to do in the transfer market though.

    I think it is inevitable and I reckon both to Spurs, thought Siggy would have known better and would also advised Mawson. He will be good enough, but will spend then next season or so playing in the league cup and Fa cup if he is lucky, great for his development, but his bank balance will be better as will the Yanks. As for Siggy going back there as much as I love him not sure he will play regularly either. Cant see him displacing Ali or Erricson.

    Oh to have Robbie playing for us. Cant you see Chris Coleman, Dudley Lewis, Nigel Stephenson. Who was the big ginger centre half Alan ?

    Chris Coleman looks like Chris Camara

    Course I can see them Andy Melville etc, but as I said my eyes were drawn to Robbie & Alan Davies who are both no longer with us.

    With Britton and Makelele forming his position , I hoping Mesa is part of the " Swansea Way " rebuild . I also think Ayew and Carroll will have super seasons . I'm actually pretty stoked about the coming season as long as we grab a RB and a " Stay at Home " CB . Prediction .....Fernandez will start almost every game at CB and will have a career year , if not injured .. stay tuned .
