Looks like they rate our players more than a fair number of "Swans fans" on here |  |

It seems that we can sell Ki to them then...
But who would you pick up from the "relegation" teams?
Sunderland... none
Cardiff... Marshall have a pair of hands that have kept Cardiff in the race, Caulker, maybe Noone, Mutch.
Fulham... Hangeland if he was 5 years younger
Norwich... Redmond
WBA... Mulumbu, Sessegnon, maybe Sinclair
Palace... no thanks

interesting
I ve seen this a lot on other forums they really have a lot of respect for our team and club.
Most of them agree we won t be going down. |  |

Looking at the quality of the teams in relegation risk at present - unless something disastrous happens, we shouldn't be going down.
Martin Jol is in line to be our next manager
(is an example of how things can be disastrous). | |

Class - nice to have our quality appreciated
"Bony is class - would definitely take him."
"There's more chance of Swansea taking Ben Arfa." |  | | |

Good bunch of fans who know their football, know quite a few of them from living and working up here... amazing to think there's only 10 miles between them and their scummy mackem neighbours, cheering when Taylor broke his leg. |  |

Our players are highly rated yet we're unlikely to muster a meagre 40 points.
Imagine how we'd have done this season if we'd had the Laudrup of Aug-Feb 2012/13 in charge. |  |

'' Still hoping we get Caulker back - rumours are that we might have something agreed. ''
Did Caulker play for them or is there a Jack or a Spurs fan on there? |  | | |

I feel that our first team (plus an extra 3-4 players) are as good as, if not better than, anyone else outside the top 7. I know the Europa League didn't help, but the fact that we are struggling with these players must be a management issue (both managers). Either they haven't been able to get the best performance out of the players or their tactics have been wrong. |  | | |

Injuries haven't helped, although there is a school of thought to suggest (cue Waynekerr ;)) that a lot of the injuries we have and continue to suffer could be avoidable with a better training regime.
But yeah, no side containing the likes of Bony, Dyer, Routledge, Hernandez, Williams, Chico and the like should be anwhere near the relegation zone, let alone uncertain of survival with just five games left. Dress it up how you like, but that's not a dazzling testament to the management this season. | |

There have been fundamental errors made at Director/Managerial/Coaching/Player levels all season!
We have too many 'on their day' type players, not enough of them actually believe in what the club is and what it means.
For me the greatest challenge now is that there appears to be not one decision maker at the club( I include the Trust in that) even beginning to talk about 'ok we have achieved the dream but where do we go next' |  |

Great, there's a few Mapgies that would take our entire team which seems more than what some posters in this forum would want! :D | |

I'd take Marshall in a blink, he's been great and without him Cardiff would have been relegated long ago, like last September!! :D | |

Remember the optimism we started the season with
The Europa of course but the key injury toll was dreadful - how can not having up to 6 first pick players including both Bony and Michu during one period make less that a massive impact on any team, let alone ours. It is impossible to tell if we would otherwise have reached the massive potential there to be unlocked with a firing Bony and a fully fit Michu. Anything was possible.
Bony whilst brilliantly talented and excellent defensively, his forward style did not fit naturally into the team (hence many thought he was initially crap). So took a little while to be properly integrated and adapt a much more mobile style of play.
I suppose whilst we have some fantastic talent - some always have had excellent and quiet runs (form/formation/opposition?). Others where brilliant skills are weighed against lesser ability in other areas shooting / tackling / decision making / pace. That is the nature of our team (otherwise such talent would be at much higher clubs).
Whilst we are blessed with this quality and the nature of their play; their variability in form and strengths places an even higher burden on any manager, who has to be pretty visionary to roll the tactics / players dice in perfect harmony for any given opposition team. Suppose that is the joy of managing - but when that happens we are lucky to witness something very special. I hope we can retain this talent. | | | |

Derland (they've banned The Sun you see?) - Alonso - impresses me most times I see him
Fulham- Stockdale
Cardiff - Marshall (I'd pay upto £8m for him, he's mint). Matthias Moueller-Light Yoghurt Daily Mirror - cracking young 'un. Maybe Caulker too.
WBA - Berainho - cracking prospect, Mulumbu - decent squad player
Palace - Speroni - reliable old sod. Nathanial Clyne - good RB. Jonathon Williams (would fit us perfectly), Jedinak - consistent. Maybe Murray aswell - like him.
Norwich - Redmond- yep, maybe Snodgrass. |  | | |
| Amusing Newcastle thread - like their Swansea comments :) on 17:35 - Apr 8 with 1696 views | Rancid |
Crystal Palace - Yannick Bolasie
Cardiff - David Marshall, Steven Caulker
Fulham - Bryan Ruiz | | | |

Jedinak, Bolasie, Caulker, Snodgrass, Marshall. And I sometimes wonder about Dejagah too! | |
