Some great players now within our budget. What are the chances of signing one of the above to reinforce the forward options? O Hara of Wolves would be a popular midfield signing as well.
Jock/Celtic fan in peace. There's reports in the Scottish papers that you guys are after Gary MacKay-Steven http://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/scotsol/homepage/sport/spl/4309853/Swans-swoop-for-Gaz.html He's a good young wide/forward player with tonnes of pace and a couple of his (apparently, own, trademarked) tricks. He has only really come to prominence in Scotland in the second half of the current season but he's become the player most people want to see more of in the national team (apart from Mulgrew, arguably). I reckon he would fit Swansea's style of football and, as he plays in Scotland, he will cost you half the amount a similar player in England would cost.
I think Kightly from Wolves has had a great season and knows where the goal is. May well be worth a punt.
Neither also thanks. We need a creative maestro. Someone who is going to drag the back 4 forward to the halfway-line. Let's 'play' football on the half-way line not our penalty box. To this aim we must buy Siggy plus one more, or, a class act to replace him and one more. To be honest, the majority of us would pay upto £7M for Siggy, I'm sure there's a few Dutch/Spanish players in their sights for the same money - maybe even two for the same amount. We need to keep our heads on, yes Siggy is good, but it is a lot of money at the end of the day. Have we got any scouts in Africa? Thats where the tall, big guys seem to be coming from at the moment. Here's a fastball, could Sinc play a different role - like away from the wing. Use his speed but not rely on his 'skills', could it be left back?
Have you just said play sinclair left back. Have you watched our games this year.Tthe guy cant defend. Now call me old fashioned, but the first thing a defender should be able to do is defend and sinclair cant. So thats not going to work for me. On the fletcher Cox thing. Fletcher every time. Thought he looked a hand full a couple of weeks ago. On to the signing of Siggy. The reason its important is that it shows intent towards the player already with us and if they remain beacause they can see we are trying to sign quality players then to me its worth it.
Fletcher has got himself a decent goal return this year despite playing in a ****e team, and being injured a fair bit. I really like him, class in the air, shoots with both feet and he can hold play up. My worry is he's more of a replacement/possible improvement on DG than a different option, and we're hardly going to play 4-4-2.
