According to multiple Spanish journalists , he's agreed contract talks with Sevilla, shame to see him go if true. |  | | |  |

People don`t want to talk about those deals mun. They only want to talk about the deals that didn`t come off . |
That summer we bought 4 players for next to nothing that were all good enough to play in the Premiership, De Vries, Scotland, Rangel and Bodde.
We managed to find 4 in one summer due to Martinez and Reeves' contacts and hard work.
From what I remember Reeves did all the scouting on barely any budget at all.
Why didn't the club invest more money in these sorts of areas? Why was it that once Martinez left we had no idea who to sign and almost ended up bringing back Bayo??? | | | |

Sevilla have agreed a deal to sign Swansea City midfielder Roque Mesa on loan for the remainder of the campaign, say reports in Spain.
The deep-lying midfielder only joined the Premier League club this summer in a €12.5m deal from Las Palmas, but he has started in only nine top flight matches so far this campaign.
El Desmarque report the negotiations are at an advanced stage with the 28-year-old open to a return to La Liga and Los Rojiblancos keen to add a central midfielder. | |

Like Baston, a classic example of shocking sourcing of players | |

Will be surprised if Mesa goes in this window, because there is so little in the deal for us. The only way I could see it happening is if relationships have really soured between player and management, | | | |

I think the fact he wasn’t brought on instead of a tiring ki or fer on Monday says it all about how much trust Carvalhal has in him. They’d have someone lined up if he is to leave tho you’d hope. Britton isn’t fit enough and nobody knows if Sanches will pull on a shirt again leaving us very light in the middle [Post edited 24 Jan 2018 10:44]

It does free up wages if we are looking to bring players in. If the manager doesn’t fancy him then it makes sense in that way at least. |  |

Wasn't Mesa one of our Moneyball signings?...great for baseball...not exactly proven in football unless someone can say where its been successful over a period of time. Do Brentford still do it? |  |
| Oh,..Dave, what's occuring? |

This story seems to be gathering pace, would be a shame if he goes, had a raw deal with us IMO .
Mesa would be great playing in one of the more classic Swans teams over the last decade, unfortunately it seems to highlight just how hard it's going to be for this club to get back to a true footballing ethos.
I don't think anyone would have thought a few years back that Mesa wouldn't be anything other than complete success at the Swans, his failure here points to the clubs failure overall and the reason why we now struggle badly, we just don't have a fookin clue what kind of player fits us anymore !
There was a time when it was easy to identify what a Swans player would be, imagine Mesa in a Martinez team for example ? our steady fook up over the last 3 yrs had made sure that almost every single signing is a lucky dip without thought for style,technique,pattern of play or systems.
We sell one o fthe best set piece takers and sign a bloke who loves headers in Bony, we signed Gomis as a focal point striker when it clearly wasn't a game he could play, we signed Borja with no clue how to use him, we sign Clucas and Mesa who are chalk and cheese as footballers and would never easily blend.
It's an endless line of expensive fook ups by Huw and Co. it's costing us our prem status, we can't sign a single player that fits the Swans way of playing because for three years we've had no way of playing, how the fook did Huw alllow Monk to sail us so far away from what got us here in the first place? continental style football to hoof ball using players that cost 4 times the money and earning 4 times as much !
I pray Carlos is the antidote to the blinkered thinking of the muppets at the club. |  | | |

Today's Edition of Marca.....
" Mesa is ‘loco’ to return to La Liga and sign for Sevilla, a club which would be a step up from Las Palmas and a chance to play European football.
Marca report Sevilla are currently negotiating a deal with Swansea which would see Mesa move on loan for the rest of the season. Sevilla want a purchase option in there, rather than a purchase obligation, giving them all the power on a deal.
Sevilla don’t have the best record with loans and transfers generally, they’re ruthless when trying to get a good deal and Swansea City need to be careful they don’t agree to something they may later regret.
Any agreement needs to be committed to because anything thing done separately, and any assurances from Sevilla over a purchase, playing time, payments, is likely to be worthless unless in writing. " |  |

Looks like a directive to free up wages.

De Vries and Scotland good enough to play in the PL??
Yikes. |  |

Did they or did they not play in the premier league?
I think you will find that I am factually correct. | | | |

Playing in the premier league and being good enough for the premier league are not the same thing. If they were good enough they wouldn’t have exited it so sharpish. | | | |

The point was that we were a league 1 team buying players way above our standing at the time for next to nothing. | | | |

He is one of the most over rated players we have had in this league, even more so when you consider the fee we paid.
He takes up one of the midfield positions yet constantly offers little protection to the defence after he's gone diving in for the ball on the halfway line and is lest comically sprinting back trying to catch up whilst they run freely at our defence.
I feel many over rate him simply because he does what many want to see, except at a very low standard. He runs a lot, he passes sideways a lot and he does the usual kissing the badge/ showing he cares theatrics, enough to fool.
I am sure he favours well in the Spanish league, but he clearly was not capable of replicating that in the top tier of English football. |  |

Baston bought for big money ,not used then loaned out.
Mesa follows that same route
Now who the feck was it on here defending Jenkins | |

Treated poorly and never given a fair crack buts it hard to look at his performances as anything more than underwhelming.
Definitely a talented player but we don't have the time to allow him to get acclimatised to the PL in our current predicament. |  |

Yes, really.
A couple of injuries and we won't have a mid field without him. | | | |

Another Spanish media outlet, Estadio Deportivo, claim the Roque Mesa deal is close. They say Swansea must continue to pay a part of Mesa’s £2.5million-per-year salary even if he leaves for Sevilla – and that both parties are working to secure the deal.
Paying a player not to be here apparently?... |  | | |
