Highly rated.

Mid you the jacks could do with another goalscorer they only have 1 really.

The problem is Laudrup has set the challenge to Jenkins.

He needs to buy Gomis or Bony to convince Laudrup that Swansea are serious otherwise Laudrup will be gone..........

Quality signing, proven goalscorer. Malky take note

Jenkins must have had a sweetner from theis Chinese Sponsors, the money that they are chucking around. Mmmmm Problems developing down west. Think the cautious approach will do us a world of good in the long run :ayatollah: :old:

The cautious approach? They've spent barely f**k all on anyone except for Shelvey and Bony if a bid is accepted. Their squad is PL made already, winning the League Cup and a top ten finish confirms that. How is problems developing down west? We were all saying that Europe would take their toll on them yet the amount of depth they have in their squad will be incredible. Whilst for us, it's okay we have Craig no pace Conway :ayatollah:

Grow up lad! Why have you dediced that today is the day to chuck your toys out if the pram?
We'll get ince early next week and malky has plenty more irons in the fire.

maybe if it was your money you wouldnt be so quick to be bent over a barrel by clubs who move the goal posts after a fee has been agreed!

I like the way in which Malky goes about signing our players.

I know we have the money but this still makes me strangely uneasy , then again i suppose a statement of intent for the coming season from sir huw, if we get him all we need is another striker and we're sorted

very confident of turning you over home and away at the moment :D

Well apart from Bellamy, we still have a championship squad! Let us build our premier league team hey, and we'll go from there.

cautious !!! you've payed 8 mill for an unproven striker and have bid 8 mill for ince also unproven in the prem , you think that is caution
for what it's worth i think they'll do well mind

Re: Jacks make €16million bid!!

Fri Jul 05, 2013 3:06 pm

theres no way Malkys approach can be described as cautious Merlin. if Ince signs has spent £16.5m on two players :lol:

how much you spend in your first year on your squad waddle?

Re: Jacks make €16million bid!!

Fri Jul 05, 2013 3:15 pm

not sure but graham was our biggest signing at 3.5mill , i would say 8millionish but don't quote me

To be fair, any player that you bring in from outside the Premier League is unproven in the Premier League, regardless of their form outside of it

it's obviously not or we wouldn't be willing to pay it , still a shitload of cash though

Re: Jacks make €16million bid!!

Fri Jul 05, 2013 6:37 pm

This Bony fella is a quality player by all accounts and 16m would be so bad. They've spent prudently in the past so they will have saved some money for sure. If he's a success they could sell him for near 30m in the future and 16m wouldn't sound so bad.

I think our own Cornelius could be a 20m player, time will tell. Spend big sell bigger.

I didnt say it was being cautious did I?

It was more a response to the unproven part of your argument, which i keep hearing over our signings but never over Swansea's, apart from De Guzman and Shelvey they are all unproven.

I think we may well be paying a little over the odds for these players but we have only just come up andI think we have to put a bit more down on players to be competetive in the market.
