Then someone better be prepared to pay £25m minimum.
3 year contract, top goalscorer in the Prem since Xmas 2013 after banging in 31 goals in 30 games in Holland and only 24 years old.

Then they dont get him. Joe allen went for that![]()
We bought him unproven for £12.5m, now top goalscorer in the Prem in 2014 and scoring in the world stage we would want at least double that, and i mean at least.
If i were Huw then listen to offers £25m and above and sell for £28m. Luckily, he dies have a track record of driving hard bargains.

He will want champions league football when he leaves. Perfectly made for Chelsea.

Luckily he puts the ball in the back of the net like he did last night, and that's all he needs to do, score a goal a game and however little else he does gets ignored, justifiably.

He had a 100% pass completion so his link up was pretty good with Gervinho.

Most strikers can play simple 1 or 2 yard passes and have a good pass completion rate.
Drogba came on, and immediately his all round play ultimately led to a goal, Bony put it in the net and fair play to him for that, I dont doubt hes a goal scorer, im jusy saying he offers absolutely nothing else other than goals, not necessarily a bad thing.

Yeah its not true though, barely even debatable in fact.
In the Premier League he was responsible (scoring or setting up) for a scarily high percentage of goals, almost 50% i think.
He also does tremendous defensive work and is a key player in defending set pieces.
A beast of a player. To suggest all he has is goals is as wayward as you can get. Genuinely.

You offer a lot of stats which I very rarely see evidence of, would like to see the one which says he assisted nearly 50% of Swansea's goals.
And as for the rest, I totally disagree, he offers little (if anything) other than goals (not necessarily a bad thing as ive said before), but we both know you know that really.

There u are then.
He was our best defender from set pieces in our box last season and he holds the ball up better then any player in the prem there for linking up the midfield.
As for valencia taking him? What planet are u on! Do you realy thonk any club other then the top 3 in spain could compete with any prwm club for wages and spending 20 m plus

This is embarrassing! You are like an opposition MP disagreeing for the sake of it. I actually watched 90%+ of Swansea's games last year and you are wide of the mark by a country mile.
I watched him holding the ball up like no other player in the PL and being virtually unplayable with the ball at his feet. He made more defensive clearances with his head and feet than almost any other Swansea player and was involved in a high proportion of goals he didn't score.
He's CL material. Full stop!!

Just enjoying getting our resident troll Roath Magic to bite mate calm down.
That said, he was shite against Japan aside from the goal.
