Of course we do, they are the best players in the world that can probably adapt to any style.

Gylfi is not the above. :laughing6:

Selling the best two players who are proven in the prem and bringing in players who are not proven, we will just have to wait and see if they cut the mustard. Don't forget with all this money other teams are strengthening their playing squads too.

I don't know much about this mesa guy, good passing stats apparently just have to see if he can replicate it in the prem, just because they are good in Spain doesn't mean they will cut it in the prem. No one knows how any player is gonna perform until the season starts, look at Leicesters signings, complete unknowns cheap buys and won them the league.


Most high profile player, not best players. Jordan Ayew I think is our best player in terms of talent combined with how he fots into our side. There is no point in having great players if they dont fit into your side, surely you can see that?


No point having great players if they don't fit into your side he says :lol: :lol: read your above post just contradicted yourself a treat, nice1 :lol: Think before you type mate you won't make yourself look stupid then.

Yep stand by it - read it again, I will highlight the important bit...

The players you highlighted are the best in the world, and as a result fit into any side. Gylfi is not belonging to this category, hence the sale.

Keep up at the back :laughing6:

So you wouldnt call Ronaldo, Zlatan, Lewanoski, Higian great ? :lol:

No point having great players YOU said.

Re: Swansea want £50mill for midfielder

Mon Jul 10, 2017 5:49 pm

I would call them great players that would fit into any side. The "great" isnt the important bit, its the bit that comes after which you are clearly ignoring :laughing6:

So whatever level of player you class Sigurdsson and Llorente at, be that great, good, mediocre or the sublime - they are not at the standard to where they can fit in any side. And they dont really with us.... Hence the sale.

You will get it soon im sure :D

Thank you very much great players can fit into any side, always good to make a jack look a fool, time for my chicken dinner

Re: Swansea want £50mill for midfielder

Mon Jul 10, 2017 5:57 pm

Depending on the player of course, I don't class either Llorente or Sigurdson as great, id suggest if you do then maybe someone has laced your chicken with delusional tablets :laughing6:

If the chicken dinner doesnt wuite fill the gab, remember that chip on your shoulder :laughing6:

Ah well perfect, we both agree they arent then and this whole last 5 minutes has been for nothing.

So then you can now understand the point that having them in our side regardless of their ability, is not helpful to the side if they dont fit with the style.

Not really tricky. Check the sell by of that chicken. :laughing6:

:D I see you deleted your last post, strange you choose this to replace it with :laughing6:

The comment is self explanitory. Because they womt fit in with the teams style. If the side is geared to hoofing the ball to a target man and getting crosses in, then you dont buy Zola.

The fact you have the money to buy Zola, suggests you are better going for someone equally as good but fits the style of the side as not to disrupt the cohesion.

Come on Bobby, you arent this dull. I have every faith in you.

I deleted it because I typed it out wrong couldn't remember what you said.

So you saying you wouldn't have Zlatan in his prime as he doesn't fit Swansea style :lol:

If we had money to buy Zlatan in his prime and the profile to attract him - yet it was clear he would not fit into the style of play, then I would choose someone equally as good that does... As any other sane person would do :D

Your only choice is Zlatan, no one else last day of transfer window and he's offered to Swansea in his prime, but does not fit Swansea 'Style', do you buy him ?

Re: Swansea want £50mill for midfielder

Mon Jul 10, 2017 6:21 pm

No, instead of soending all our budget on a striker that wont fit into the side, I would wait until the summer and sign a superstar of equal ability that does... Again as any other normal person would.

Free transfer, he hit the owner of Barcelona and they want him gone.

Then under those almost impossible conditions - I would sign him to look to turn a profit, but in terms of plans for my playing side, he wouldnt last long as I would be getting that superstar of equal ability in the summer, that does fit into the side.

Then you must be as dull as you probably look then to not stick a player of that quality in your side.

Re: Swansea want £50mill for midfielder

Mon Jul 10, 2017 6:36 pm

But I have already told you I would instead buy someone of equal quality - someone of equal quality that fits into the side.

Keep up, my word. :roll:

Why do clubs sign or strive to sign better players?! They're only great depending on the size of your club.

For instance Whittingham was a great player for Cardiff.

Rooney was a great player for Man Utd

Shearer was a great player for Newcastle

If you took Messi out of Barca there is a very strong chance that he may actually not be that good - after all he may not have the service provided by his team mates to warrant a great title at all.

Your statement is flawed -

Sigs and Llorente are by FAR your best players, and as I personally wouldn't call Llorente great I'd call him more good, Sigs has certainly been great for the Jacks. The problem lies more with the fact your coach clearly cannot cope with the calibre of player he has at his disposal - he couldn't at Derby.

Nothing flawed about it at all. They dont fit our system so will be sold. That simple, regardless of talent. With talent and fitting in our system combined, Ayew is by far our best player.

This coach that cant cope that you speak of delivered the best results any manager in our Premier League history has. That includes the manager who got us to finish 8th and the one that won us a major trophy and took us to the knock out stages of Europe :thumbright:

You need to put down your crack pipe....

Doesn't fit our system?!?! I've heard it all - Jordan Ayew was struggling to get a start at CHAMPIONSHIP side villa - seems as though he wasn't playing the right system!! Should have old Fat Steve!

Mate your barmy absolutely on the ledge

...so was Kenneth Zahore, now he is your new saviour apparently :laughing6:

Ayew is far more effecive in the system we wish to play than either Llorente or Siggy, that is just fact. His build up play and interchanging is far superior to either. Just the way it is my friend :thumbup:
