I said this earlier on .. If we can't attract a player like Siggy then can we attract players like Gaston Ramirez like Bluff suggested earlier
Never was impressed with his signing for us, he was well down the pecking order, as Sousa's replacement, but he did keep things ticking over, he's not the architect of our passing game, Martinez is, I'm going to be very interested in seeing how Rodgers fairs with you lads, but for the record, I took some stick for deriding Rodgers on my own board, before he signed, never wanted him, not bothered when he went either, and I think we have replaced him with a far better manager!................................
If I am BR, I would use one of the age old ways to get players in...... get the current players to get in the ears of some, for example, we want Gaston Ramirez, get Suarez and Coates to go to him and help give him that extra nudge ( isn't that how Suarez got Coates to sign with us). Same with Pepe, get in touch with Tello, say to him this is the place for him and what we are about, etc. Agger talk to Kjaer, Lucas to Neymar............. Kidding with the last one, but using your players to help attract is another way that I think could be used since we do not have the CL and possibly only offering a certain amount of wages.
But a manager who hasn't stayed put in a job for very long, Getafe, Moscow, Mallorca, all gone within a year or less. Gotta be a bit wary of that I would think.
It'll be interesting, seeing as we've passed over your new boss as a player and a manager now. More upset about the former to be honest. We'll see though - we've both made good appointments in my opinion. Why the bitterness? Swansea are a great club, we get it!
You don't seem to be able to distinguish between somebody offering an honest and articulate opinion as a comment and an article that was basically, "Yuz is ****, innit. lol". Supporters of any club are welcome on the Spurs board, as are opposing viewpoints, but weak, childish WUM attempts aren't. Sorry.
Laudrup agreed terms with us and was about to sign until the deal was leaked to the media before being complete. Laudrup pulled out so he actually passed on us
No bitterness on my part, just some light hearted banter! the secret with us, is not so much the managers, as the chairman and Board!.................. .
We shall see, could be a blessing if we got someone better who knows, still a long way to go in the summer yet.
Guess you're lucky to be able to say that! Hope our clubs don't grow a divide, I never realised the Swansea board was so active until the Rodgers affair, and will definitely drop by during the season! Love the way you play.
