    Personally I've only seen him play for Wales and what I've seen of him I like. Strong, holds the ball up well and has a good work rate. If it's a free transfer, I'd take him.

    He's not good enough for Premiership football.

    yes I agree he is big strong lad just don't think he is prolific enough in goal scoring stakes. but if he,s free theres not that much of risk.

    I see him as a striker we can bring on when we are a couple of goals in front with 10mins or so left looking to close out the game. He's good in the air too and would add an extra body that can defend set pieces etc.
    He, for me, would be a 3rd choice striker, and an improvement on Vazquez and Scheter etc.

    I don't think De Boer & Bergkamp would want him - even on a free....

    They've gone and he's no better than either of them imo. We don't even know who the manger will be so how can we bring in players before thats sorted .

    As I've said, I've only seen him play for Wales. No idea what he's like for Reading, but I like what I've seen of him.

    You've only seen him play for Wales because he can't get a kick for his championship club , doesn't that tell you something <laugh>

    Please humour me , <laugh>,I just don't want him near the club based on the fact that we've had a **** season which isn't over and the best we can look forward to is Robson Kanu , shoot me <wah>

    He's the weak link in the Wales team, that's why Bale tries to cover two jobs. He isn't good enough for the Swans, even on a free.

    personally I don't think he,s the answer, but looking at the service our strikers are getting at the moment I think bony would have struggled.

    I agree on both counts. Our service to our strikers is shocking but if you're asking whether that player can step up to Prem football then I'd say Kanu can't.

    Guard your sheep , badwolf is on the prowl .Striker and defender issues for me . I'd be focusing away from midfield .I think Ki has had a problem since his injury , up till then I thought he was doing great .Britton is back demanding and getting minutes . Taylor , Rangel / Naughton has to be addressed . Another good striker would be nice ... As Gomis gets the boot somewhere else ...( try to make it a pay whatever we owe on his contract deal)
    I predict sometime next season Rodgers is at our game and saying " That Guido and Curtis really got it going here " .
