There is no risk free option. Look at the appalling Otamende and Di Michalis at ManCy.
I hope this comes off. It feels a very 'old Swansea' thing to do. | |

If the guy signs, it will be interesting to see what they do with him. For instance, will they try him with the kids first, or will he come straight into the first team squad, for consideration with selection for cup games initially? | | | |

Looks good for 5 million. Where would he sit with in the pecking order? Ahead, level or behind Van Der Hoorn?
And what does this mean for the Mbodj links? | |

Back in the 70s, a 30' year old centre half signed for Man City from the lower leagues...
Anyone remover his name? He's a legend at MC | |
| It's just the internet, init. |

Centre Half around that time? Dave Watson | | | |

As far as Alfie Mawson is concerned, sounds a good buy.
I can see him getting first team games as soon as he's settled in training | | | |

Are these guys - Mawson, Mbodj, VdH likely to compete for the first team. Strength in depth is all well and good, but Amat is relatively unproven and it's debatable whether Fernandez is first team quality. | | | |

Tony Book was 32 years old when he signed for City from Plymouth, but he was a right back | |

I don't think Mawson has come here to be 4th choice and be for the under 23's. If the reports are correct about him he could well be pushing for first team football in a couple of months. We also have van der Hoorn who I think will be behind Mawson. Before the season started I thought that Fernandez and Amat would be OK and reasonably solid, but they have disappointed me in the first two games and look very shaky. I think we still need a first choice center half ASAP and let one go, possibly Fernandez. As for Bartley I hope he never comes back. | | | |

Agree with most of that. It's only two league games as a partnership in all fairness, but Fernandez didn't overly impress me last season. I'd have liked to have signed someone proven who could go straight into the first team. What looks to be a squad player and someone who may push for first team isn't really what we needed. Hopefully one of them will step up to the plate.
Very much doubt Bartley will be coming back if he is fifth choice. | | | |

I know its only two games. But at Burnley they really were lacking, both got yellow cards and with the man to man marking, at set plays, either could have gone. I hope they settle but it seems to me that both need a dominant defender playing alongside them. I hope I am wrong but if Vardy runs at them today one could go. | | | |

Had a bit of a mouthful last night from an friend when I said I didn't think he would step straight into the team or be an immediate replacement for Williams. Told me I had no idea how seriously good Mawson is. | | | |
| Alfie Mawson on 09:05 - Aug 27 with 2488 views | airedale |
Just had a thought, if we bring him in via cup games, one of his first matches could be against Man City! | | | |

Well put Skip
The problem is some on here think we have to sign big names or "established" players
But then the same will offer the likes of Lee Trundle as the solution to our goal scoring problems he who came from non league football then div 4 and couldn't estBlish himself in the championship but think he can waltz Ito the pl! | |

Was that Alan Hole his father played for the Swans as well.
Was one half of 4 sets of brothers who played for us.
Who were they then without google will take some working out. | |

It will be interesting to see how seriously both clubs take this match and what teams get played. Man City have Bournemouth home on the previous Saturday while we are away to Southampton on the Sunday. If the match is not moved to the Wednesday we will probably have to put a reserve team anyway. | | | |
| Alfie Mawson on 09:37 - Aug 27 with 2359 views | jack247 |
Bang on. A lot on here thought Amat was a natural replacement for Williams. Understandably so, but he was never going to come in and take over the leadership role. As much as Williams could get into a sulk when things weren't going his way, he did have the qualities required to take the game by the scruff of the neck. Between him and Monk, we have had a good leader at the back for a very long time. Now we don't. | | | |

Cup tied ? | | | |
| Alfie Mawson on 10:18 - Aug 27 with 2256 views | dougie |
I had a text from a mate who watched him a few times last year. ' you lot have just made a seriously good signing ' | | | |
| Alfie Mawson on 10:19 - Aug 27 with 2252 views | magicdaps10 |
Well lets hope the guy turns out to be another Vardy or Stones rather than another Harley,Scott Donelly,Curtis Obang or Jamie Proctor. | |

| Alfie Mawson on 10:22 - Aug 27 with 2240 views | Whiterockin |
Yes played against Northampton. | | | |
| Alfie Mawson on 10:23 - Aug 27 with 2232 views | dougie |
Made club captain straightaway at Barnsley. A born leader ? . I think this boy will be in the first team within weeks. | | | |
| Alfie Mawson on 10:24 - Aug 27 with 2225 views | max936 |
I wonder where Mbodj is going to then as Anderlecht fans seem to think he's off, Everton? | |
| |
| Alfie Mawson on 10:37 - Aug 27 with 2156 views | jack247 |
That would be great if he is up to PL level. A born leader at the back is exactly what we need | | | |
