The Summer Transfer Window Thread

[Swans Jack]

To be fair here, Guebells was clearly the big signing and went a good distance and we failed at the death.
Keith has also mentioned us looking in Scotland a few weeks back so looks like he was spot on.
I think Keith has a connection that will be as good as you can get.

I read that. At the time it was mentioned 2 strikers. Maybe loan from Scotland. I think he has been on our radar for a while as Keith mentioned the first striker would be our main target and second would be bench warmer. Maybe second choice is now number 1?

My friend in Glasgow who is a fanatical Celtic fan texted me earlier about Idah.

“The worst player ever to wear the hoops. And there's been a few.”

Well, when I once signed him in football manager (As a Swansea manger, needless to say), he was very good

Celtic fans are like us over demonising individual players, but with 60,000 crowds and expectations that their strikers never miss, they are a lot worse
Idah has handled the pressure well, but not every player welcomes it year on year
Would be expensive though, if, as suggested above, they actually don't want to sell

I saw this Scottish guy mentioned for us previously

What's the score with this Nigerian playing in the MLS that we have been linked with, anything in it?

Looks like their fans don't rate him and talk of 200k being mentioned.

Taking it, Soumane from Lorient is no go?

Ahh there you go.. I do feel that we was never gonna please the whole fan base whatever the stiker. Even our main striker in Geubbels has had his injury issues and many flagged this for concern. As I said, anything is better than Cullen at the moment. Many will say we should hold out, but we can't go with Cullen, VP (only just finding his feet) and Wales unproven.

He seems to put himself about a bit and appears to be a handful. However, this is the Canadian Premier league we're talking about.

Cheap though, at less than 400K

Whoever started the wow rumour on here, we have certainly run with it for most of the summer, saying we're aiming high for a statement striker.
Whether or not that was Geubbels, he says it wasn't - who knows.
It's obvious that it's fallen through through, so now we're looking for alternatives.

Not long ago we was signing absolute shite and now we’re turning our noses up at 24 year old who cost 9 million pound.

Don't think because he's a £9m player he's bound to be decent, we paid close to double that for Clucas.

MLS in USA not Canadian Premier League
Doesnt look anything much.

Did you have to remind us of that?

Fair point, but writing him off before he’s even signed when you look at some players we’ve signed previously with underwhelming records only to become good here.
