Really like this guy. Great player with good heart. Would love to see this one come off! Seemed to be a quick change between bid and fee agreed??!!

Looks like if Swansea produce the cash, he'd prefer to go home?

He looks a better player now he's got long hair and a beard. As long as he doesn't cut it all off, I could be on board.
It wouldn't be the same if he had the chop. Similar thing with Trevor Sinclair a few years ago.

Would be a super signing for us.
Fingers crossed we can get this one over the line

Bloody ace signing if we pull it off!

Don't mean to be a party pooper but is he really what we need? A defensive midfield destroyer with a physical presence is what I would like. As Tidy as Joe Allan is he doesn't fit that bill for me.... We've got Adam, Ireland, Affelay who offer a similar role. Tin hat on.

To be honest, he would be a decent player for us BUT I cant see where he would fit into our side, apart from maybe as an alternative for Imbula. I cant exactly see him playing the Whelan role...

Allen's a miles more robust, physical midfielder than any of them and under Rodgers he showed he could sit deep and be the metronome as well.

Partner for Whelan in the 5 man midfield. Part one of the plan complete.

I have a really irrational dislike for Joe Allen.

Allen, Berahino, solid CB - I'd be beyond thrilled

£13m is a steal if we can get this done.
Ho much is Wijnaldum costing?

As Tidy as Joe Allan is he doesn't fit that bill for me.... We've got Adam, Ireland, Affelay who offer a similar role. Tin hat on. Where's he going to play? He plays in a more of an Imbula type position than a Whelan one, although I suppose he could play defensive mid. A midfield three of Allen, Imbula and Bojan would seem extremely lightweight though.

I was impressed with Allen in the Euros and he could inject some energy into our fairly ponderous build up. I resume they can make room in the squad by dropping Affelay and maybe Ireland. Unless Allen replaces Whelan, that still leaves him, Imbula, Bojan, Ireland, and Adam competing for two midfield spots in a 4-2-3-1 line up.

As we speak you just know Allen's agent is on the phone to the people at Swansea asking if they want a piece of the action. Wouldn't get excited until it's clear they aren't interested.

Chuffed if this comes off. I've been shouting for this one to happen. Was immense in our 1st leg defeat in the Semi Final.

If I was Swansea and could get a hometown boy returning of his quality for £13m, I'd make it happen.
No Prem teams are short of cash.
I'd be surprised if they didn't match when it came down to it?
