In the run under the new manager he played 10 games was averaging a goal every 201 minutes. Is that really that bad considering the state Swansea was in.

It's actually 1 in every 2.3 games.

Read the link and it sounds as if he was there only hope...

Recon he could come good for us and turn out a bargain.

His stats improved vastly under the new manager.

I disagree. I actually tried to give examples.

So who do we get for £10 mil or £15 mil max and probably no more than £60k per week? And be realistic.

COYP

This could be a very smart buy, very fast , tricky dribbler and can play all 3 front positions well. Cracking player.

I think that’s a bit of an exaggeration.

He has ability for sure. Before he came to England, I was actually a fan of his. But during his time here, has been really disappointing for whatever reason.

Hoping we can reinvigorate his career and Roy can get the best out of him. Although I tend to agree with mattteo that proper scouting could identify far more attractive prospects for the money.

Is what it is I suppose, but the one thing that would make this deal definitely unattractive is Riedewald going the other way. The fact he’s even linked and has supposedly personally declined is disappointing in itself. Undoubtedly has the potential to be a great player and was really looking forward to him furthering his development this season.

Players like Riedewald are the ones we need to keep andmanage properly as they are the ones to progressively address our squad depth issues for years to come. He wouldn’t look out of place as a starter and he’s still very young. He’s a must keep.

We're the Arthur over ere!

OK, I'm highly likely to be wrong (very wrong) but wanted to float this theory past you all to see what you think.

Most of you will have read about our potential link with Josef De Souza from Fenerbache over the last few weeks. That deal (should it be real) is only because his current club find themselves in a difficult situation with FFP and need to offload before bringing more players in.

Having lost most of their forwards since the end of last season, their manager, Phillip Cocu has said he is desperate to bring in forwards, meaning they are forced to let go of their midfield talent.

So why have I bothered mentioning this? Well maybe, just maybe we are becoming the go between for Jordan Ayew and Fenerbahce. Probably a ridiculous idea but the Turkish team have already loaned in Andre from Swansea and with their financial restrictions in place, a player exchange would be more preferable.. as it could be for us.

Maybe I've just lost my mind with the heat or maybe I just like a good story but whatever, was just a thought I had, no evidence or anything, just a theory. They get the Ayew brothers without spending anything, we get Josef and Swansea get Jairo. All clubs with financial limitations mutually better off in the end.
