Luc Castaignos signs for Swansea for €8.5m

Henry Had Potential at Monaco,wasted at Juve,Flourished at Arsenal.

Give this kid some time and who knows.

Its not impossible i assure you

The same reason i knew who exactly was involved in the squabbles and exactly how i knew who wouldnt play for us again. I know people. He doesnt have a release clause.

People with supposedly connections to cardiff on this board don't even know if Campbell has a release clause, so I just find it hard to believe that someone in Aus would know info like that

There will never be another Henry, that's for sure. Just had a look at his goal record, it is decent but nothing special, whether he can carry it on in the prem is to be seen. Looks abit lightweight to me could struggle in the prem.

In fairness, its probably referring to his playing style rather than his actual path of destiny to be one of the greatest players ever

I seem to remember Arsene buying Henry as a defensive midfielder. He spotted the potential and pushed him forward. If this Luc is anything like Henry in his playing style, surely he will emulate his goal scoring ability in time. The price tag suggests he is highly thought of.

I am one of the fans who will be watching all PL sides next season so this does interest me. Not because it is Swansea, but because it will be a factor if we get re-promoted. Anyone who says they won't be watching Match of the Day next season is a pleb in my opinion. In fact, it is easier to watch it when you aren't playing, especially as last year, we were tending to be beaten.

I'm still convinced that Bony will have some bids put in this summer though. He won't go to lower half clubs, but could be tempted by Champs Lge. Another interesting one.

Henry was a left winger for Juve wasnt he?

Sorry yes that's right. Wasted out wide though. Wenger used him far more effectively as his goal tally demonstrates. He also gave many assists. A complete attacker in my book. Deadly grace!

Thats because they dont know the right people. Why does it matter where I am? I dont cut ties to people because I move house

I have no reason to be dishonest. Im perfectly aware and happy with the fact he will be on his way soon, im just assuring you it wont be because of a meeting of a phantom clause.

Fair enough, so your the man if any jacks needs any inside info on Swansea then ?

With some stuff yes, with other stuff no. Im not one to go asking, i just know what i get told.

I was the first one to say that Michu wont be back properly this season when he was supposed to be back in Jan as he has severe arthritis in his ankle (still not common knowledge), i was the first one to say the Spaniards that wont play for us again and also that there will be a major overhaul in personnel due to the spanish split... You will hear more of that in the coming weeks no doubt.

But back to Bony. The club are bracing themselves for bids after the world cup, but they wont be listening to anything other than an astronomical sum. Which id say is £25m minimum. Its my opinion that we wont be getting a bid like that after one orem season, he will need to replicate it.

Good bit of business if swansea double their money selling bony within one yr

I've heard of him and seen little of him and he has impressed me. I think the comparisons with Henry are probably fair, whether he will live up to them is another question.

Only bad thing I noticed in his game is his lack of contributions defensively.

Does that mean Garry monk is now best mates with Arsene Wenger (fabianski) as well as the Utrecht board.. OR maybe it is now clear that players sign for clubs even if their manager doesnt have a world wide reputation? These days the club speaks for itself. Love this signing.

"Wrong board"

"No its not, this is related to a discussion previously had on here"

"Dont care"

"Yet you are posting?"

Ad infinitum

Wrong board you sad little man !

Isnt this a forum for all things Cardiff City????

yes what you read on the internet . I was told Michu would be out for the rest of the season well before December maybe he should stop kicking the billboards

I'm not even a Swansea fan and already know almost everything you've quoted above my Girl friends farther is a Jack and as a few bob in shares with the club for many a year.

Wrong board and don't care. You seem to be getting the message

I hope you sign Jonny Williams as rumoured, really promising Welsh player who is wasted under Pulis at Palace and would do well in your team.

Id be surprised if we sign him, i think his agent is just trying to agitate a move. I prefer the look of the other williams for Wales, Jonny wouldnt get enough games here. He needs to go back to the championship i think.

You should go for Huws on loan, top player.

ahhh well so much for for no inflation on wages or signings? or are swans using monopoly money?

Id be pretty sure players will be leaving to accommodate this, in fact, i know they will be

Even the dogs in the street know they will. You don't have to be a Gypo clairvoyant in a caravan to know that.

Will be another Cornelius

Will be another Cornelius

hope he will be another Cornelius I think you mean

Roathie, if you think you're potentially getting the next Henry, then I'd think again because what I've read from fans who watch him week in week out, Swansea have got the raw end of the deal here.

Not very high praise, a lot of Eredivise/Twente fans reckon you've overpaid for him.

He's still young, so who knows, he may end up being all right but don't try to make out this is some sort of coup for Swansea.

mmm why hasn't it been mentioned on any sport news? or is he in the fantasy team? just curious as not mentioned at all today other than by that fantasist roathy!:old:

Have you not read the response to the first time you asked that?

Their fans dont seem to rate him well reading that.

I dont have to make out its some sort of coup, it obviously is. He has the exact same style as Henry indeed, seen him before?

When players leave there always tends to be an element of "didnt want him anyway".

Look at the threads regarding Mutch and Campbell which ironically were 2 of your stand out players

Top signing indeed.

Because you want to know clearly

We have signed him, where have i said we havent then? Keep up thicko

Nah I couldn't care if he is good or bad. Just my opinion.

I think an awful lot of people will have one eye on our results next year, whether they admit it or not is another thing

At the end of the day its where you are looking to get back to next year and there are several bets set up based on our performance next year so im sure some will be very interested indeed.

I said Utrecht in my OP, obviously i meant Twente

He is touted as the next Thierry Henry.

More like the next Lenny Henry, he will by fighting Chico and Monk by Christmas
