    No mate, I wouldn't take him back because he didn't exactly have the best season with us last year. Dyer was far ahead of him and now we have Hernandez who has shown he can perform on a level that maybe Sinclair cannot match, but obviously Hernandez lacks consistency which I hope he can resolve with the games we have left.

    Sinclair will probably end up at a team like West Brom next year and I suspect he will do well there, and West Brom are not exactly a bad side neither. I wish the boy the best for him helping us get to the Premier League but I don't think we should take him back because we are now looking for more creative players to fit into our team. :)

    No I wouldn't have him back. Not good enough now. Sorry.

    That's a good article by the way. I particularly liked "By getting in bed with City, he signed a Faustian pact". He knew he wasn't going to walk straight into the starting 11 but like so many before him, leaving the Swans has turned into a bit of a disaster.

    That's what happens when you listen to the missus. <laugh>

    Good player and most teams would be lucky to have him, Swansea have 4 talented wingers though so he wouldnt be coming here. Still has a big price tag too.

    It was an even worse decision by the missus considering BBC Wales is one of the only BBC regions that got extra money for spending on TV content, even though they had a budget cut for office room staff. She could have got TV work down here, and it is worse again when she could have starred in one of America's big budget TV shows which launches this year. Starz are filming Da Vinci's Demon's right here in Swansea using the new Visteon Studios.... it's the largest TV and Movie Studio in all of Europe.

    So, she missed the filming of Season One and because she is not local she is missing the filming of a movie called Dreck, and unless she moved back here she will miss the second season of Da Vinci's Demons. And that series is big budget, written and directed by the screen writer of the new Batman movies (Batman Begins, Dark Knight etc). Starz is one of the biggest TV production companies in all of America.

    She could have been a Hollywood star if she remained here because other local welsh actors were given roles!!!! haha

    As far as I am concerned he made his bed let him lie in it. He didnt go to play football, He went for the money. So he probably isnt even bothered that he isnt playing. He will be off on loan to the championship yet again.

    Is Visteon Studios the old Ford plant on Fabian Way?

    It is indeed, it was supposed to be temporary but it is has now become a permanent studio. There may be plans to expand it further as more production companies are enquiring about using it.

    Sinclair got two things. Jack ****. And Jack just left town!
    He was pretty poor last season and Routs was unlucky in that BR never played him even when he showed he is more talented than Sinclair.
    Championship is calling unless he pulls his finger out bloody quickly.
    Whilst I was sad to see allen go I didn't feel a single twinge when SS buggered off to warm benches and earn the least deserved salary he's ever taken.

    Yes I agree on that, keep forgetting about the agents influence in all this, one of Jagers pet subjects, would sooner prefer the money to filter down to the grass roots of football, the conditions and facilities our youngsters have to put up with at junior league level, is disgraceful in this day and age!............<ok>

    Sinclair and Allen could have both learned something and developed a new dimension to their game under Laudrup; but they never gave themselves the chance. So myopic, so self-detrimental to chose to be bench players for the big club. BTW, Allen hasn't started in the last few games (perhaps the last time was in that FA Cup defeat) - seems the rose if off that bloom and Rogers is now playing whomever can get a result and save his ass.

    They chose to be cogs in a machine where the coach is more of a mechanic than an artisan .... Laudrup is the latter.

    Not sure her two primary assets would get her that far.

    Would have thought that Sinclair would have learned from his previous experiences at Chelsea being surplus to requirements there but seems that he was been led astray by his air head girlfriend who was looking to move back up north. For her to have a boyfriend on the books of a top prem side earning mega bucks was obviously very appealing, no doubt his agent agreed and was looking at the possibility of making more money off the back of his "client", shame he had very little concern for what was best career wise for him.

    Just wonder what Scott must be feeling right now, edit - he's played very little prem football for the Etihad club this season and once again seems surplus to requirements at a top club. To see his former team return to Wembley this year for a major cup final and make such huge strides in the league under Laudrup must surely make him have regrets despite having enough money already to retire on. He could once again have been a hero but instead has become the forgotten man who could be moved on again to another club that may or may not suit him.
