Planet Swans ArchivesAnd with the capture of the four summer signings the Swans seem to have options everywhere in the park which means that nobody should be able to rest on their laurels and take their place for granted which is the way that it should be.
Having returned from the tour of Germany with one draw and one win under their belts it is Reading and Nottingham Forest that await the Swans this week as they continue their pre-season campaign ahead of that opener at Stamford Bridge on August 8th.
One of the positions where we seem to have two strong options is the man up fromnt with Bafetimbi Gomis and Eder both competing for the traditional one spot that would be available.
Gomis had a frustrating first six months at Swansea last season having to play second fiddle to WIlfried Bony and there were rumblings that he would look to move on in January. But it was Bony who moved on to Manchester City and Gomis repaid the faith that the Swans had shown in him twelve months ago with some vital goals in the second half of the season.
This summer the Swans have increased their strike power with the รยฃ5m capture of Eder, a Portugal international and that means that both players will need to be at the top of the game if they want to hold down a regular starting spot in the team.
I would say that Gomis will be the one that starts up front against Chelsea but there is still time for Eder to impress to pressure the man who ended last season on top form.
And both players have been backed by midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson as ready to score the goals in the Premier League “We need the strikers to be scoring goals
รขโฌลItรขโฌโขs very important in the Premier League to have a striker thatรขโฌโขs scoring goals week-in, week-out.
รขโฌลBafe is an important player and everyone in the squad knows he can score a lot of goals this season, hopefully he will do just that.
รขโฌลEder has also gelled in nicely. Heรขโฌโขs a tall lad thatรขโฌโขs strong and is sharp too.
รขโฌลHopefully heรขโฌโขll get a couple of goals in the next few games and Iรขโฌโขm sure heรขโฌโขll do well for us this season.รขโฌย
