Transfer deadline day – what lies ahead for Swansea City? A day of disappointment?

All these links with centre-backs, wing-backs, box-to-box midfielders, is it just me that thinks we're going to have a real lack of creative skill in the team?

You can't always hark back to the past, but where are the players in this team who can create something like Dyer, Sinclair, Ayew, Gylfi, Celina, James, etc?

Paterson can do it on a good day and Walsh is a lovely player, but the former rarely seems to have a good day and the latter can't stay fit. Grimes has the occasional defence-splitting pass in him and hopefully Patino shows in this area, but there's a real meat and potatoes feel about a lot of this team for me.

How many of this bewildering list of names have we actually signed for certain?

Thank god when this nonsense is over.

Definitely more box to box than defensive, bang average player but experienced because Blackburn use their academy so well.

Now being reported he wants to sign for a club in the north.

Been a busier day than I expected - just catching up on most of it. Although we should remember we haven't confirmed anyone as yet and we know our track record... :lol: :lol:

Was he on the M6 M5 or M4 when he turned around on his way down

Oh now there is a point - the train strike cost us a midfielder!! :lol: :lol:

Don't think we've used that one off the list before

Robin Sharpe would be proud

Grimes was doing it on a regular basis when he was working unison with Celina and James. He looked outstanding that season. The majority of the time, there’s nobody near him making themselves available with the intention of moving forward.

You expected less than nothing then? Impressive! I don’t think even I’m that negative :lol:
