I heard mention that there was a gentleman's agreement between the home nations that we would not use the rule to poach players off each-other. If you think about it, the team that misses out is England as they would have had Bale under that rule. Any Welsh players brought up in an English team...

Gotta back dai on that. Did you read the comments? There were at least two comments about how arsenal were in complete control for long periods. I'm not sure what game he was watching. Does five minutes at the end of the first half count as 'long periods'? Typical lazy reporters a) focused on...

Swansea fan in peace. I notice people are talking about a bad squad and it needing changes - but as the transfers were coming in I was thinking "we'll that's them back up then." Especially seeing jones started well. Could it just be the case that the lack of consistency in selection is causing...

They're still bitter over the spanking we gave them 2 years ago. There are a few teams with a real sense of entitlement but with nothing teams - you normally hear them whining about us passing too much. That we're boring to watch because we don't just throw it in the box and that we're rubbish...

With a brilliant result, now is the time to move for a few players. So who? What should be Monk's move (assuming we're getting Fernandez)? With palace in disarray, now has to be the time to move on Jonny Williams (gives them a chance to offer new manager spending money).

Apparently we have won the race for Bafetimi Gomis - free transfer ; http://www.caughtoffside.com/2014/06/22/swansea-city-to-complete-bafetimi-gomis-signing-next-week/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=swansea-city-to-complete-bafetimi-gomis-signing-next-week Looks like a bargain -...

Very good signing - will have a very effective front line. La Fondre has shown he can take the step up of promotion too - and would be able to step aside for a bigger name should that happen and work from the bench. Look like good signings so far - no doubt will be balanced a little by sales...

Sadly too true. It's hard to actually like anything any more - everything turns out based on slavery, racism, sexism or run by perverts. Still, go Ivory Coast.

If Arsenal only value him at £3m we'd be far better seeing out the contract - may find they'll lose interest.

Southampton would be a good fit for Laudrup playing-wise. He brought Davies through, which they'll like (as they have a focus on their academy). They're used to a foreign manager and they're probably looking and reducing costs - although the chairperson might be wary of him as he has a...

A lot of these would be unrealistic for us - and not even because of money. I don't really see sense in going for Lampard when Shelvey plays a similar role (obviously Lamps has had a wonderful career and is a better player - but if we brought him in for a year that would stall Shelvey's...

I could certainly see the benefits for both: * He would get experience of managing at a big club and in Champs league rather than UEFA. * There wouldn't be a real challenge from the league, so he could focus everything on preparing the team for the european games. * His approach towards...

I saw the thread "laughable" before - and now this: http://www.givemesport.com/468081-liverpool-make-8m-bid-to-sign-dejan-lovren?autoplay=on It is silly season, so quite likely that this is journos, but if Liverpool have looked at Swansea and thought "they bought Bony for £12million, he had...

Good lord, Pardew really wants out of Newcastle, doesn't he?

Was quite alarmed to see this thread coming so soon after one titled "polygamy".
