He is a stand out player in the SPL but I'm not sure that counts for much?

£8 million? As the article states, maybe it's plan B if anything comes of the interest in Fernandez...

I agree. Any player we get from the SPL, no matter how good they look, has to be looked at in the context of the quality (or lack of) in that league. Just ask Boro fans... Gordon Strachan tried to put together an SPL dream team headed by goal machine Kris Boyd. They nearly got relegated to League 1.

Poll: Some scummer on the anus board reckons 80% of us want them to go down. so... do

We also signed Ki from Celtic for £5.5million and it worked for us. So £8million would be good but only if we sell FF for a lot more. But like others have said I can't see this happening unless FF is in the process of leaving. Amat and bartley are both good enough back up CB's for us and I can't see us spending 8mill on another back up.

In this article from the BBC website we have dismissed links with Van Dijk and Troy Deeney.
That would seem to make sense to me.

just wondering if we signed Luis Suarez and Bale , how many of our fans would respond with 'do we really need another striker and winger ? '

Difference being Van Dijk is not an upgrade on Ash / FF. Bale & Suarez would obviously improve the team.

I really hope Fernandez is still here on September 1st top top defender.

I'm not sure I would say Van Dijk is an upgrade on Jordi either.
I think Jordi is going to reach the top end of the game ie a bigger club for a good fee!

Agree with the rest.
But are you really sure Bale would be an upgrade on the lost form boy Nath?

If you wake up breathing, thats a good start to your day and you'll make many thousands of people envious.

I did think that about Amat as well.

Maybe Bartley fancies playing for the other old firm team as a replacement for Van Dijk. Although I think I am probably in the minority ....... to me Kyle's level is SPL / Championship (sorry he can take Nathan with him as well)

I'm with you, I've never thought much of Bartley and in my opinion Amat is streets ahead.

He's not good enough for us.. Especially for the 8 million being spouted around..

The awkward moment when a Welsh Club become the Champions of England.. shh The Swansea Way.. To upset the odds.

I guess Bale could revert to left-back and provide more competition for Taylor and Tabanou.

Not sure if Suarez would be content to be a backup to Gomis.

Can’t see it happening.

Poll: Should the official match day thread include pictures?
