Yep should have checked, but my point isnt specifically to La Liga is it. Its foreigners adapting to the prem.
My point is that he has never played Prem football before and there is an endless list of continental south Americans who are great in the other european leagues and not in the prem. not saying he wont be, im just saying of the 4 signings made they are either kids or have prem inexperience.

I just wanted to rebrand Roathie so I could try and understand the psychology of Tan. If I can understand Tan's mindset on rebrands and the powerful feeling rebranding gives you then I can work on his level and help him change us back to blue. Now you've gone and ruined my wonderful experiment. Time to get the crayons back out and draw up plan B.

There are also plenty of South Americans who have been huge hits in this country as far back as Ardiles and Villa so it works both ways.

Entirely agree with you. My point isnt thats hes going to be bad.
I was basically saying Malky has spent too much on too few, and even thise he has spent on are either kids or have no prem experience. Every time you bring in someone from a foreign league thats never played in England before its always a risk. I just think its mad that 100% of Malkys signings have had no solid experience in the league. Caulker is probably the mosts experienced in the environment and hes 21 and played a season and a half of prem footy.

In fairness you've been rebranded more times than Katie Price's face.

swanseas first season in the prem and you signed Routledge from Newcastle, Caulker from Spurs & McEachran from Chelsea (the last 2 were loans).
All of the rest had no or very little prem experience.
Neil Taylor, Ben Davies and Joe Allen all kids who thrived in the PL.
The rest of the squad were championship players in a team that finished 3rd in the league.
You lost your first game 4-0 to Man City. Drew your first 2 home games 0-0 and lost your 4th game away to Arsenal 1-0 before your first win at the 5th attempt at home to WBA. Followed by 2 hidings either side of a home win against Stoke, away at Chelsea 4-1 and Norwich 3-1.
You hardly found the PL easy when you first came up but your players adapted after a while just like ours will too.

It doesnt matter. We had a third of the budget you had, we were forced to take risks on kids and inexperience. We were never going to beat Arsenal away or Man City away in our first few games in the top flight. The other 3 winnable games we all took points from and thats the key.

Weve got to change our philosophy and tactics if we are to stay up, they didnt have to change theirs. Winning ugly, playing the percentages, which is what we done a lot of the time last year, isnt going to be a succesful tactic in the quality of this league. Well not enough to keep us up IMO anyway.

I couldnt agree more with that, my concerns from the beginning were Malkys tactical nous but youve got to give him a chance to get it right and not just get on his back on the back of one game our first at this level in donkeys.

It does matter. Everything you have said is not based on a knowledge of the game, its just trolling. swansea didnt win their first away game until the 2nd of jan but because we didnt win our very first away game we are doomed. Shows how little you know. Its just fcuk up after fcuk up with you. You know fcuk all about football.
