regarding Laudrup...."to be honest he has been piss poor for a while now" I literally did laugh out loud at this!!
Ouch England is part of Europe so they are in a sense... cough cough!! (Thats not a slight at Wales btw).
its true though and a lot of fans are saying it. whether thats tempory only time will tell but we are not as effective now as we were at the beginning of the season, you have to question if he has the ability to make us better as results suggests otherwise...
like he said at the start of the season we'll have good months and bad months, arguably two of our 3 recent losses could have been draws with a bit of luck and better officiating. I don't think we need to start questioning Mr Laudrup at all, but of course this is only my opinion and am not looking for arguments with those who disagree.
Regarding the article in the OP it's just made up nonsense. (probably) I don't think we will be in for Williams either he tends to play LCB? and we are looking for a partner for Agger who is left footed, I don't see them making a good pairing.
He does play lcb, so you could be right Gonzo. Little bird tells me we are considering a new contract for Ash with a considerable pay rise.
Laudrup piss poor ?? Jeez, the rest of the premier league better hope he doesn't get the hang of it next season then. ... 9th in the league ', league cup winner, euro football and premier league manager of the year! As wind up s go that takes the biscuit. .. And you're apparently a Swansea fan. ..yeah right. Laudrup has earned the right to be free of this ki nd of ****, best season in our history so far! He will make mistakes that's for sure, a bit of respect wouldn't go amiss though.
Norway, spot mate. For some people it doesnt matter what we have done all season, just that he must be piss poor because we are on a bad run. I seem to think he has out performed a certain Mr Rodgers in regard to his achievments. Do you know if we were top of the PL 25 points clear. Certain people would still find something to ****ing moan about.
Sorry guys, Dai is right. We should be first. In the fa cup semi finals. Won the league cup. Unbeaten in the league. Have the most clean sheets. Have the top scorer in the league. Buying messi for £300 million pounds. Simply not good enough laudrup. Out with you.
you see guys you just cant debate and will go on the defensive on any comment against laudrup....your ignoring the point and past 10 games, Do you honestly think others are not saying the same things as me about our relegatin form in recent months because they are you know.....Its not looking good reading and you cant see it or more than likely refuse to believe it....that wont do swansea any good at all will it, you have to question what laudrup is getting wrong recently and you have to ask why has he not fixed the problem.....I could point out a couple of things that are not as good as earlier in the season and that is our slick triangle fast passing and a lot more than usual long balls, that is two areas that fans are talking about and not as Bony says having a dig......If all you can do is make silly comments then you are in denial and dont want to hear bad comments as you refuse to see what is happening at the moment....There is more to it than thinking laudrup is god...the team comes first and the results are not there that backs laudrup at the moment as being good, he is down the bottom of the league fo results at the moment and i want to know why......all this god like idol dont wash and all i care about is how the team is doing and its not brillient at the present time and have not been for an unacceptable amount of games....
I don't think it was a dig Dai, merely a suggestion. It is incredibly hard to read a huge chunk of writing with no paragraphs
OK, the last 7 games you say. An away loss to West Ham -dissapointing result after bossing the majority of the game, we've definately played better but we're going to experience that, especially on the road A home win over QPR, great performance An away loss to Liverpool, our weakened team spanked a week out from the Cup final. Home win over Newcastle, giving us the double over a team that qualified for Europe last season, strong battling performance. An away loss to West Brom, started off brilliantly, faded in the middle third but only robbed of a point by a ridiculous decision by linesman. Home defeat to Arsenal, admittedly not a great performance, a clear foul leading up to first goal missed by refs may sound like splitting hairs as Arsenal were probably worth the 3 points on the day, but lets not forget the quality of this team, Champions League knockout stages regulars. Home defeat to Spurs - I actually took heart from this performance, on another day we would have got a point. Two quality goals gave Spurs a huge cushion but we battled well and never gave up. Obviously the run has not been great for us but to me it seems like you're willing to criticise not just Laudrup but the club as a whole, at the drop of a hat. Which is fine of course, this is a forum, but whereas I'm sure you;ll agree, you;re a glass half empty type a lot of us are glass-half-full types, enjoying a season where we currently sit in the top half of the PREMIER LEAGUE!! with a major trophy in the cabinet with local derbies to look forward to next season...very happy days, cheer up fellas!!!
I'm not worrying, we were robbed at West Brom, lost to the Arsenal who were at the top of their game and got done by some world class by Gareth Bale who's been doing it to everyone all season. If we'd lost to QPR and Reading then fair enough but it was Arsenal and Spurs after all, two really big clubs going for Champions league

You just dont get what im saying. Its not all about the results even though it is important but dont tell me we are playing well because we are not and you can plainly see we are not. all you see in the EP on monday is laudrup and certain players coming out and saying they will be better next game and the next game comes and its back to the same rubbish of a crap first half and a good last 20 odd minutes.....Its was not that long ago we were not afraid of playing any of the big teams but now that confidence has deminished from everyone. there is no doubt about it that if we had played spurs like we did for all the match instead of the last quarter we would have won that match, we were all over them and michu even got us a goal but we left it too late......This is my point and not about whether we win or not........Its like watching us in two different games, poor for most of the game then world beaters towards the end when its far to late to do anything...we have thrown away a minimum of 12 points playing like this if not more....
I wasn't making a particular point Dai - I just posted the results for everyone to have a look at. While it is fair to say that the League Cup has definitely had a detrimental effect, what is also worrying is that in terms of points our away form has had a significant dip. This is important because next season we will be in the Europa Cup and that is bound to stretch our resouces even further - just look at Newcastle.
