Clucas played nearly 1000 more minutes than Cork.

I know stats dont mean everything but they are certainly a good indicator is has a better all round game.

Stats can be twisted to suit your agenda though. For example - SH*T COMPARISON REMOVED

I'll reserve judgement until I see Clucas with my own eyes

It'll be nice to add an average PL player to the ranks, it can relegate one of the poor ones to the bench.

I agree with that.

I think he's a nice player. He certainly played well on the few occasions I've seen him..

The issue I have is whether nice players are enough. Carroll is a nice player for example.

I've a feeling we need at least one real game changer, and I'm not certain this is it.

But he's an upgrade (in my view), on some that we have, so that's a positive.

Looks like we are swapping like for like, but paying £6.5m for the privilege! Classic Swans

If we sign Clucas does that mean we have moved on from Chadli?

They don't play the same position do they?

I would have thought both rather than on or other.

It does say up to £16 million, with add ons.

Perhaps it's £10 million now, £2 million if we avoid the drop, £2 million if we win the FA Cup and £2 million if we win the Champions League.......

I thinks it's a great signing, on the basis we also that game changer (or 2) you talk about. Clement talked about using the siggy money to make the team better. He's not gonna do that with just one signing. People need to give the bloke a chance. He's an energetic player who loves to run with the ball, we haven't had someone like that for a while.

I agree. I'm just nervous (as I'm sure many are), that this is as good as it will get. I hope not.

To get any better, we will probably need to break our transfer record again.

That's not going to happen with the current board.

I think, given the market, we're going to have to if we want to bring in a genuine game changer. By which I mean a creative player that can make something happen, create something almost out of nothing.

More likely that we've moved on from Allen.

Pity you didn't go to the Liberty on Saturday - you would have seen "nice" Tom Carroll put Pogba on his backside enough times for Pogba to retaliate and get booked

Far too many on here living on last year's prices. Everything has gone up so adjust yourselves to that. And let's give the guy a chance before ripping him apart. Everyone likes a moan now and then but the amount going on here at the moment is beyond. The club has just bought a promising player with PL experience. Yet people moan. To be fair the club are damned if they do and if they don't.

Spot on it was the same in January with Olsson Carrol and Ayew.
And they all turned out ok.

We need one or two players who are a level above "OK".

I think he deserves a chance personally I think he will do well for us.
As I did with Carrol Olsson and Ayew.
Time will tell but not keen on players getting written off before they have kicked a ball for us.
Hope that is ok with you old bean.

Sky reporting Kingsley going in the other direction too. No idea if loan or permanent deal.

I didn't think Carroll had a great game to be honest. As I say, I think he's a nice player though.

Strange by the club when we are short on full backs... perhaps this means naughton to be cover for left back and aras to join. I suppose we do have to move players on due to the players 25 registered and 8 HG.

Clucas has played left back hasn't he?

I think one of the attractions of him is he is flexible on positions.

if that is the case I think we could see more of the three at the back this season. I dont think we have the players for the 4-5-1 or 4-3-3 we used to play. 3-5-2 is the new 4-4-2 it seems.

I've also seen it in Twitter as "fee agreed". Wouldn't it be odd to do these as two separate transfers on the same day, rather than connect them?

I'd be surprised if we sold Kingsley. Seems like a decent back up and it would leave us with Olsson, Naughton and Rangel as our only full backs.
