The Summer Transfer Window Thread

underwhelmed with Benson

I can't find the smiley surely tongue firmly in cheek

 

[Malaga]

I've no Idah.

Anymore for anymore on the pun front, folks?

No tengo ni puta Idah

 

[cadleigh]

Idah? Oh

 

[cadleigh]

And that's a wrap. I'm off to dinner.

 

[Ringwood]

Is Benson signing?..I'm more excited by this than AI

Heard benson might even be a perm deal

Hats off to Montague and the board and agent dimi they have done a spectacular job this summer rebuilding a broken squad

100%

Turning it around so quickly is very impressive. Obviously not all incomings will be a success but can’t fault the fact they’ve somehow balanced a squad (assuming these last 2 are confirmed) that’s been all over the shop for years.

Aye and at least with the squad now looking balanced in a mid to long term fashion we can spend each window actually focusing on just a couple of signings to replace outgoings

Avoiding relegation definitely isn’t the aim, but I doubt promotion push is either. It would be a bonus if we’re close or achieve it this season. But it’s already been spoken about that being a 2-3 season project.

I think you may be surprised at the ambition.

Certainly play offs should not be without question.

Hence the signings today.

Swansea City is delighted to announce the signing of striker Adam Idah from Celtic, subject to international clearance.

Well done to the club for getting this sorted.

Let’s avoid dealings with Celtic again for a while.

They're going for the jugular for sure

Makes you think what they might do in Jan if we're up there

I genuinely can't believe this. I cannot believe it. I will not.

Be great if you're right and BBC are wrong:

Swansea are poised to complete the loan signing of Burnley winger Manuel Benson.

The 28-year-old has been at Turf Moor for the last three years but made just three league appearances for the Clarets as they won promotion to the Premier League last season.

The Angola international has scored 14 goals in 51 appearances for Burnley since joining from Royal Antwerp.

Benson will join striker Adam Idah in south Wales after he made a £6m move from Celtic earlier today.
