Swansea Transfer Thread - Rumours and Real

If you hear anything on the grapevine, feel free to add it here. We are entering silly season now, exciting times ahead and hopefully this thread will put a minimum to duplicate topics.

To kick us off....

Swansea interested in Bournemouth's Harry Arter?!

Arter??? Are you having a bloody laugh!

I've been going to Bournemouth games regularly for a while and trust me, Arter isn't prem quality though he's been great for the Cherries...that story must be bollocks, but then the press always seem to be lazy with us and assume we don't have any ambition!

 

well if Cherry has seen him and doesn't rate him then that's good enough for me.
next...

 

I'll tell you what, he's a good League 1 player. Scored a great goal against Carlisle. I think he will thrive in the Championship. But PL? And for Swansea? No way

I do like seeing him play with former Swan Shaun MacDonald in midfield though. Unsurprisingly MacDonald is probably the best passer in the team.

 

Ah Macdonald. The Welsh Zidane!

 

He scored a cracker against someone on a cold Tuesday night in the JPT once, but that was about as Zidane-esque as he ever got!

Back on the topic of players we've been linked to; we were linked to Bradley Johnson recently, were we not? He has the worst passing accuracy of any central midfielder in the Premier League. No thanks! http://i.imgur.com/TMH0ptG.png

 

Heard a rumour yesterday that we have already got 3 high profile players who.have nigh on signed for the swans. was told that the three are players that you would never think would be with us.

 

I'm going to put this as a sticky for all the transfer merry go round.

 

Spill bepp, who are they rumoured to be?

 

Messi, Ronaldo and Robben

 

wellMessi would have to try to displace Michu and how could ronaldo force schechter out? We need to aim higher than that!

 

David Villa is one

Caulker is Two

Scott sinclair is Three

 

Couldn't get anymore info out of them but apart from them being players that we would never think of seeing in a swansea shirt. torres and vermaelen for Williams ?

 

Have we signed anyone yet?
C'mon I'm getting impatient. Roll on next season!

 

I'm hoping for;

Lukaku, Aspas, Ince, Canas, another centre mid who can score (possibly De Guzman) and 2 centre-halfs (1 young loanee and 1 challenging Chico and Ash)....if this were to happen I'd feel confident going into any game regardless of the first XI.

In reality this is unlikely to happen but I'm sure Laudrup will have some nice surprises for us regardless.

 

Get rid of;

Tate, Agustien, Gower, Schecter, Lita

Possibly get shot of (if the budget requires);
Bartley, Jazz, Lamah/a winger, Moore.

 

Arsenal agree terms with Ashley Williams:

Brown Ideye - Nigerian Striker playing for Dinamo Kiev; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ideye_Aide_Brown

Maynor Figueroa - Honduran Centre-back who can cover left-back, wealth of Premier League experience at Wigan; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maynor_Figueroa

Mauricio Isla - Versatile 24 year old Chilean who currently plays for Juventus (an extremely unlikely Swans signing then!). Plays mainly up the right....right-back or right wing....but can play centre-midfield also; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mauricio_Isla

Balazs Dzsudzsak - Hungarian winger playing in Russia with good experience in Holland (2008-2011) ; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balázs_Dzsudzsák

Alexander Mitrovic - Young Partizan Belgrade striker

 

It's Aspas, Canas and Jonny Williams. We knew about Canas who is sorta high profile, Aspas is getting very high profile for his work rate and ability to provide assists on top of scoring, while Jonny Williams is the only one nobody thought would be possible.

*If only, yeah?

 

Don't tease Jonny Williams Project. Have we spent any of the £15 million we had for Allen? If not and Crystal Palace don't win the play off I would use all of that money and buy him as he has the potential to be a world class player.
