Laudrup is a big reason why swansea have the squad that they do in the wage budget swansea allows, my guess is they'll lose key players and not be able to replace them with as good or better ones, whereas cardiff has money to spend and perhaps a positive development going forward if Tan pulls his shit together.

Bear in mind this opinion is based 100% on other people's forum comments and some clueless pundits' opinions, I've watched like 2 swansea games in my life. ;)


Swansea are a richer club than Cardiff no question.

As for Laudrup bringing in our side - Bony (rumoured to be a jenkins signing), Michu, chico and Hernandez is the only ones he brought int hat get into our side. shelvey was recommended to come here by Rodgers.


So they signed for Laudrup then. :thumbup:

No, they signed for Swansea hence why they are still here.

Do you ever stop? Laudrup was manager, alas they were his signings. His stature in the game would have helped in the recruitment of said players. Now his influence is no longer apparent, this could lead to said players, looking to leave. Is this a possible scenario?

Stop talking sense? No, very rarely.

Laudrup was manager yes, and so was Rodgers before then, sousa before him, martinez before him, jackett before him.... Yet we funnily enough have a very similar side with continuity throughout.

Is Michu going to follow Laudrup around for the rest of his days as a professional footballer? :lol:

If we win our remaining 3 then that makes 45 points which is round about what we got last year and the year before.

This season we have been flying around europe midweek to play games in the likes of russia and played 20% more games than everyone else.
