    We signed a right back from hearts last year. Colin decided he couldn't defend so made him a number 10. He scored 11 goals in just over half a season.

    We've uncovered a few pearls over the years but few and far between.

    Agree that the quality is not there in any depth, but you may be pleasantly surprised. Not going to be an expensive mistake if it doesn't pan out. It would be good if you could get a few signings your comfortable with under your belt as well though.

    That has to depend on who's doing the scouting .Laudrups tenure with the mad turk unearthed more than decent footballers comfortably at home in the PL , now we have Jerkins and moneyball and the decline started with them

    I did say in recent years, mind you short of Rangel and Michu, not sure to many others made much of an impact.

    Montero back and wirh him on the left and Asore on the right there should be plenty of pace on the flanks if nothing else. Looking at the teams on the Swans web site I note that Govea the young left back we signed from Real Madrid in the first team but Yan Dhanda is shown in the under 23's.

    Pace is great, but would love them to have the ability to actually play a bit as well.

    Pace of mind and body is key in my book. You can practice ball control, dribbling, passing and tactics but pace you are born with

    Watched Red Sparrow the other night with Jennifer Lawrence that’s a tidy watch plus you need a quiet to watch it to get the plot. You have a bit of double bubble as Jennifer is full frontal starkers. Also good watch is Atomic Blond with Charlie Theron, she gets jiggy with the bird from Kingsman. :)

    Not everyone`s cup of tea I know but the new Star Trek films are quite good, Early Man, 10 Cloverfield Lane, Thor Ragnarok all fairly funnyish. if you can find it on Netflix I think "Tour De Pharmacy".

    When the owners said they would buy some new players in this window they of course meant to say they wouldn't.
    I hope that clears it up :emoticon-0100-smile

    Agreed, lets hope they spend the reported 12m on a player or two or am I being optimistic?

    It will be interesting to see the squad going to Germany this week. WE might get a better idea of Potter's plans then.
