    I like it. Another solid footballer with undoubted technique joining for what is, by Premiership standards, a nominal fee.

    I think he's a good player, and one who can cover ground really quickly, pass, shoot and finish. I'm excited to see him fit into our system, but only if Buck thinks he's earned a place. One thing's for sure, Nathan and Scotty won't want to give up their shirts easily! It'll be good to see how Lita and Routledge fit in. Given that they do posess good footballing ability, will it be that just by playing in a very "football heavy" system improves them as players, and thus, their performances? Or will they flop...

    I'd put money on the former...

    I seen the news earlier and just asked if anyone else heard or knew any more info good acquisition if right remember he gave us a hard time when he was with the blueturds,

    I think it just needs some cover/experience at the back and we are good to go,

    Kompany is upset at man city wonder if he would like to join the welsh revolution, well you can always dream: )

    Lita and Routledge now both undergoing medicals tomorrow - glad to see more faces in and at good prices too. Still awaiting a few more but were putting together a squad that can bounce straight back to Premiership if we went down so all is looking good to me!

    Now to get Camp, Emnes and a few defenders <laugh>

    Don't think we need another striker up front, we need a left back , a keeper and maybe a centre back also

    I agree Jager, i'm a little bit worried about the current keeper situation to be honest.

    I agree with Jager, think a keeper, left back and maybe a centre back is still needed, presuming we get Routledge too.
    Hopefully we'll get Lee Camp? <ok>

    Think Routledge will do a good job for you, he seemed to be in good form at QPR, hopefully he carries it on into the Swansea team <ok>

    Fairplay....slowly but surely it seems Brendan get's the men he wants and HJ is managing to also keep tabs on the purse. Yeah we still need a left back, goalie and poss midfielder (if bodde doesn't make it) but things are starting to look real TIDY!
