Bony and Redmond were near the top of my summer wish list for Stoke. I could live with their going to a top six club, but fucking Swansea! They shouldn't even be in the bastard ENGLISH Premier League.

If we were in for Redmond, surely we'd be the best move for him? Local to where he is now, guaranteed regular football, good facilities, he's good mates with Butland.

They shouldn't even be in the bastard ENGLISH Premier League. ..but it is not the ENGLISH Premier League! It's just 'The Premier League', open to all clubs under the FA's jurisdiction. Of course, if you want to change that criteria.................

I'd love us to sign this guy which obviously means we won't. Can't we get Fuller back as a squad player now Pulis has gone ffs. Somebody to come off the bench and do a job like you know.

Impressive signing.
All these middle/lower-tier clubs are splashing the cash.

Good signing. However I am not panicking, I reckon we will see four quality signings come through the Brit's door this summer.

So Swansea and Cardiff sign Bony and Cornelius and we're left with KJ and Crouch. Bollocks.
Dozy Altidore suddenly rose to the top of the list. Do I not like that!

Impressive signing. All these middle/lower-tier clubs are splashing the cash. They've gone balls out with this signing, £10m is unheard of for Swansea. If rumours are to believed they're close to securing a crescendo of signings for next to nothing in the next few days. Jose Canas - Free Alejandro Pozuelo - £425k Jordi Amat - £2m Jonathan De Guzman - Season long loan Matej Vydra - Season long loan Nathan Redmond - £2M Wilfried Bony - £10.2m That would make 7 signings for around £15m, pretty decent business.

Them signing Redmond would piss me off more than anything. He's exactly what we need and is cheap and then we'll sign that up and comer Bentley. Plus ca change.

Agree Redmond is exactly what we need and fits the clubs new business structure of buying young talent with re-sale value, confusing how we haven't been mentioned/interested.

We'll be fine come August, it isn't even Pre Season yet, I'm sure the club will get faces in soon.

This is what happens when we have spent years giving huge transfer budgets to that capped clown.
Maybe some will start to realise what a mess he left and how we will suffer for it.

Hopefully once the squad return, (beginning of nest week) we will see some activity

"Dutch Football ?@football_oranje 23m Swansea City may have ran out of patience with Vitesse over Wilfried Bony, and have turned their attention to Christian Benitez (SkySports)"
Could be an interesting twist.

Lot of clubs interested. Not only us and Swansea. Could it be a bidding war and i don't think we will do that. Let's wait and see.

I'm a bit worried that we are tightening the purse strings just when other people are going for it. Most of these are teams we will be competing against, in our mini league.They may look foolish in the long run, but preseason it does make you apprehensive.

I didn't think Swansea had much money it's a big risk if he gets injured. I'm still loving the way we seem to be targetting players who aren't on every back page being linked to clubs and having there price pushed up to ridiculous amounts.

Fair play to them, they identified him and went hell for leather to get him.
If he gets 14+ goals its a bargain in this day and age.
He could be a donkey as the Dutch league is not that strong so time will tell.
