It seems that Valencia had a hand in convincing Montero to join us. http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/491546/Manchester-United-s-Antonio-Valencia-advises-Jefferson-Montero-to-join-Swansea
Montero has the potential to be fantastic player for us . I think the premier league will suit him along with the way we play. Consider 7/8m for Tom ince and it's also a real bargain. Montero needs to work on his final ball though, apart from that he looks a right handful, I'm really looking forward to watching him this season . Montero running at players for 70 mins and then bring nathen on ! The full backs are gonna be fooked !
And he can play on both flanks so we can rotate with Routs and Dyer to keep things unpredictable. So far, our attacking options look frightening if we can keep them all together. Dyer, Routs, Montero, Emnes, Gylfi, Ki, Jonjo, Gomis and Bony. At the end of the season if someone said that we were 3 weeks away from the start of the season with this attacking depth nobody would have believed them. We have some serious quality there. Get another RB to challenge Rangel and a DM (if Canas is going) and we will be ready for the season, unless Monk is going to deploy Amat as a holding midfielder.
Victor Meldrew alert Sorry TLF. A very good signing - welcome to Swansea ! But this is all tinkering with the edges. The BIG BIG BIG question is will we keep Bony? I'm getting pins and needles from keeping everything crossed. The Montero/ Bony combo could be effective imo - jeez that boy's quick. Needs to work on his final ball a bit though, so he'll be in good company.
He looks like a real bag of tricks,Norway,as evidenced by u tube videos. £4 million is not much these days,I wonder why a bigger outfit didn't snap him up. Ince?Tom who?
Jefferson Montero,on joining Swansae City F.C. ( Courtesy of "The Quito Evening Post" ) "Hola,Jefferson?" "Hola,yourself". "So,you are now a Swansea City player?" "Si,si". "But,why Swansea City,Jefferson,when you could have gone to Barcelona,or Real Madrid?" "Well,it's alike this,no. I always wanna to play for Swansea City,especially since now Garry Monk is the Manager". "So you are telling all your fans' and readers that you choose them over big Spanish giants,because you want to play under Garry Monk?" "Si,ever since I was a small boy,playing in the streets, living in the slums of Quito,and scavenging in the rubbish tips for food. I only think one thing,to one day play for Swansea and Garry Monk". "So,your dream has come true?" "Si,si". "How do you know of Garry Monk,Jefferson?" "I see him in a movie,a cowboy movie. It was called "Hombre. He was the big star of the movie,and I like it very mucho". "But,Garry Monk wasn't in "Hombre",that was Paul Newman,and he doesn't play football". "Is no problem,he look like Garry Monk,he had fair hair and blue eyes. He Garry Monk to me". O.K,Jefferson,you clearly are a massive Garry Monk fan. Is there anything else that attracted you to him?" "Si,he play music in pop group I see on MTV,and u tube". "Really,I didn't know he was musically inclined,what did they sing?" "Yeah,yeah,they are The Monkees" !!! "Thanks you,Jefferson".
Why Victor meldrew Dragon. Because if you read my earlier post I said i am very happy to have him here and looks like a good signing. But I dont take any notice of you tube as any player can look god on there. He appears to be a top signing, but lets not build him up to much, because there are plenty on here will kick him straight in the balls if he isnt man of the match every game. As I said Great signing, but he will need time. Anyway I am off to Plymouth Sunday so if he plays will update here with how wonderful he was. I am expecting nothing less than a hat trick and setting up 3 others.
Take that special goal for that Swansea youth player against Cardiff. Putting that on youtube doesn't make him the next Ronaldo
