So..... Who comes in?

[Somebodys pinched my sombrero]

Oh dear, you seem to have a bit of a bee in your bonnet with my theories.

I would say that certainly we are a more flamboyant, bigger club than Stoke. 52k each home game, passion, great manager and massive away followings.

And up and down like yo yo's is a bit of an overstatement?

That means nothing theses day i'm afraid, money talks the most.

And how is "up and down like yo yo" a bit of an overstatement? It fits us to a tee. We've gone from 5th place finish to relegation in 4/5 seasons.

I dont think we're going to agree. I say we're a more exciting proposition that Stoke. I don't think we're a yo yo club. You do. I'll leave it there.

What's Viktor Fischer like?

[beatski]

well he can't seem to get a look in at Boro, but I have no idea how that might reflect on the lad. They're not exactly a team that plays attacking football, nor can they afford to give a relatively unproven 22 year old significant game time. With that said, i think we should be looking for a bit more experience too.

Most important: A quality CB
Also need LB, AM, LM and DM

Townsend has found some form under Sam Allardyce at Palace. We should've got him in January because he wont come in the summer now.

I like the idea of Sigurdsson but can see a lot of other teams going for him if Swansea get relegated. Rafa may be able to sway him but I don't have high hopes.

Interesting that you've prioritised CB, I've not thought about it in that way as we simply need to fill all these positions.

I suppose DM is pretty big, I like Hayden but he's prone to a few injuries and we simply can't have Colback unchallenged in that position in the PL. I'm resigned to him still being here next season, but if he's 3rd in the depth chart I'll rest easier.

[beatski]

i think the three midfield spaces are more important than CB. (a quality DM would help outthe back line too)

Also I've just seen us linked with Barkley, I'd prefer Sigurdsson tbh

[bodacious benny]

Barkley?! Which rag is linking is with him?! He'll be at least £30m, not a chance!!

[beatski]

"the 4th official" apparently he's not signing a new contract. dont see it happening either

[Hjl]

Barkley lol. Lukaku is probably going to try and leave over the summer. We should fantasize about him while we are at it!

[Heisen]

New CB, new LB, new LM, two new CMs, a CAM and probably a new striker.

I'd only really be comfortable with Yedlin, Clark, Shelvey and Ritchie starting games for us in the Prem. Everyone else probably needs replacing - hope Mike is ready to dish out some serious cash!

[Toondes]

Carrick for a season

[Chappy]

We need a solid, reliable striker too. Have faith in Gayle. No so much in Perez/Mitro.

[MultipleJesuses]

Shawcross, Robertson, Carrick, Sigurdsson, Ben Arfa , Defoe

[Holystone...]

Attacking Mid - Sigurrdson for experience (only possible if Swans go down IMO), Tielmans for a youngin (probably have better clubs after him)
Left Winger - No idea (Mertens if i'm dreaming, wanted him for years but he's destroying it at Napoli)
Defensive mid - No idea i'm not very good at this
Left back - er, what was that Dutch lad called?

...
Think that Dutch lad was called Hertz van rental .

[beatski]

Jetro Willems.

and since he's always mentioned in these sort of things, Will Hughes

[Somebodys pinched my sombrero]

Jetro Willems.

Aye, I forgot about him. He's always impressed me.

[overseasTOON]

Jelle Vossen

[Colly]

Jimmy Bullard.

[Heisen]

Luis Boa Morte, Yakubu and Guti.

[Graw]

As long as Colback leaves im happy
