Swansea

I''ve just been on their forum for a sneaky peak at what they think about the coming fixture (dont worry havent posted anything on there).

They have two threads on David Villa and Llorente. They''re not discussing how good they are but they''re discussing the prospect of either of the two players signing for the club.

I''m sure I havent been swallowing crazy pills but they surely can''t think they''re in a position to sign any of the limbs of these players, never mind whole thing.

What is wrong with the world.

Ha ha... They''re both as likely to sign for us, or Peterborough!! Have you got a link to said message board?

[ZLF 335]

lots of rumours they will be signing more from spain but those two do seem like more than wishful thinking.

 

but as with michu and carzola I am sure there are plenty more good value gems out there who would fit our needs - at right back,  defensive midfield and forward

This is the llorente one.

Granted some of them are grounded, but others actually think they''ve got a fair chance.

I wouldn''t call Cazorla a gem, he''s had about 50 caps for Spain...

True story.

The only one is Michu really. Chico Flores is a horrendous player.

I suppose Hernandez is alright

I really wouldn''t expect to see Llorente at Swansea this season but that said I wouldn''t completely rule out the Laudrup factor in any loan deal in the January window for a world class player... We all at Swansea accept that it would be totally down to Laudrup being the boss, but don''t be too suprised if one shock signing comes in ...

By the way, please feel free to leave a message next time you come for a sneaky look at our board... Funny how we all seem to do this!! ... 2 - 1 to the Jacks tomorrow by the way!!

Nick, Nick, Nick.... You seriously must know nothing about football, if your really think Chico Flores is a horrendous player!!!

I do accept he is prone to the odd rash challenge but apart from that he is a top, top quality player... And tomorrow you will get to find out first hand when he puts GH in his pocket!!

I cannot wait for that. Swansea don''t really have a great record of keeping Holt quiet and I dont expect that to discontinue tomorrow.

I think most forum posters look at other forums but only the foolish ones post in their boards...ahem.

2 teams in great form (although ours is better) tomorrow, I''m saying 1-1. We seem to stop teams from playing (United, everton, arsenal) and Swansea will be no exception.

[Bethnal Yellow and Green 2,424]

To compare tomorrow''s game with either from last season is a mistake - I imagine that at least half of the players who start tomorrow won''t have appeared in those games with the large changes at both clubs over the summer. Not to mention the fact that both teams have new coaches with very different styles to those last season as well.

 

Swansea have drawn 4 at home this season and Norwich drawn 5 away from home - so that would seem the most likely on statistics. However if Swansea get the first goal I can see Norwich finding it hard to break them down, and will be prone to fast counter attacks.

 

Let''s just all be glad that we aren''t QPR!

[Rudolph Hucker 0]

Having just read Hughton''s views on the game they seem to mirror what you said, Bethnal. The first goal is crucial today.

 

All but one of Swansea''s goals are from open play whereas we score a high proportion from set plays, and with headers. We clearly seek to win free kicks in wide areas about 30 yards out for this purpose. I think Pulis knew that and thats what upset him.

 

I''d take the draw right now.
