The pair completed their Liberty Stadium moves last night after a week or so of speculation and, in the case of Gomez, after Espanyol themselves confirmed the deal.<\/p>\n
Gomez has joined on a one year loan deal whilst Pintado is on a "long term performance related contract" according to the official site.<\/p>\n
"I can assure you that we've captured two quality signings,'' Roberto explained to swanseacity.net. "They've got Championship quality written all over them.<\/p>\n
"We've been watching the two players for the last two seasons and I'm absolutely delighted we've managed to persuade them to commit to Swansea City.<\/p>\n
"They are typical Swansea City players in terms of quality, skill, attitude and desire.''<\/p>\n
The Swans have paid around £100,000 plus add ons to release Pintado from his contract after the striker scored 18 goals for his club last season and 52 goals over the past three seasons.<\/p>\n
"He is a very charismatic player, a talisman and a hero out there,'' added Roberto.<\/p>\n
"He has goals in his blood, a real finisher; tactically very aware, aggressive and as strong as a bull.<\/p>\n
"Now he is determined to become fully attached to Swansea City and win the hearts of the fans over here.''<\/p>\n
Gomez is the partner of Swansea winger Andrea Orlandi's sister and is described as a playmaker – a potential replacement for want away Ferrie Bodde? – who scored 10 goals from midfield. <\/p>\n
"We've been following his progress for quite some time and were delighted when he chose Swansea City ahead of three La Liga clubs.<\/p>\n
"He's got great control, technical ability and never gives the ball away. And having scored 10 goals from midfield last season, he's also a clinical finisher around the box.''<\/p>\n
The arrival takes the number of Spaniards on the playing staff to five and who is to say there isn't more to come?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
