And that tally surely has put him at the front of the queue for a starting place at Charlton on August 9.

Bauza was on fine goal scoring form at the back end of last season – he scored 5 in the last 4 games of last season including the two goals that secured promotion at Gillingham and a hat-trick in the demolition of Leyton Orient at the Liberty.

And Bussy believes that the Swans are in good shape to embark on a season in the Championship, as he told the official site after the Swans fought back from 3 down to grab a draw against Barcelona B "I think we showed many different variations to our game tonight that will stand us in good stead for the Championship.

"In the second-half we showed a winning, fighting, spirit. We showed that when we display a high pressure game against a very good technical and tactical team, we can be a match for them.

"I think everyone who saw us last season knows we are a good footballing side, but coming over to Spain has given everyone a better insight into the tactical side of the game. It's a total contrast to what everyone is used to in Britain.

"What you've got to remember is that young Barca side tonight has played exactly the same way since the age of 11. They think about the tactical side of the game in their sleep.''

It wasn't all good for Bussy though, as he was shown two yellow cards to be dismissed ten minutes from time "I was disappointed to leave the team with 10 men, but that's the way it is out here – it's a different footballing culture.

"I've worked hard over the pre-season to get ready for the British game, not the Spanish one. I wouldn't have even been booked in the Championship, so I won't stop doing what's needed when the new season kicks off.

"I'm just pleased I've added another two goals to my tally. I've scored 10 in pre-season now, but that's why I'm here.

"Hopefully I can keep it going right up until the end of the season.''
