how much does it/would it bother you when/if we sign swansea players directly from swansea ?

i know some fans never really accept players if theyve crossed a divide like rangers celtic fans

If they worked hard and earned fans respect like Andy Legg did then I don't mind

Simple really - if they play well, they always get accepted eventually.

Alan Curtis, Robbie James, Legg - class players and fans loved them. Legg is a great example - loads of stick at the start and turned people around with sheer effort on the pitch.

Knill, Marustic, Penney, Cornforth etc.... - did little on the pitch and fans never warmed to them.
