Tutumulu got us Michu, Jenkins got us Borja. Or didn’t he?


Michu £2m, Borja £15m.

Michu was a one off, granted. Wasn’t playing for Laudrup a major factor?

Carlos Kickaball was quoted as saying “ Si, as soon as I know Garry Monk want me it was the no brain. He my hero growing up - I loved the way he passed the ball into the touch line”.

We've also got to worry about how we pay his wages.


Whether is good enough or even wants to play for us is one thing but a question about wages. If we can't loan him out without paying a large percentage of his wage I assume that unless he's on a large appearance bonus then not a big difference. I suppose we would cover some living expenses etc Maybe SC doesn't rate him for our style.

He’s nursing his hamstring because it’s made out of wet tissue.

The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.

I guess he's another one going to be loaned out but back in Spain or South America - we'll probably end up paying half his wages as well 🙄

He’ll need special assistance at the airport to push his wheelchair onto the plane.

Makes sense for him but there's no way any Mexican club will be able to cover his wages though - it's going to cost us yet again

From the (admittedly highlights package) I saw of the season before he joined us, I think he’d be a lot more suited to the way we played last season and the way Cooper is likely to play, than the football we played when he was here, which mainly involved him being bullied by centre backs. His wages are going to be a problem regardless. We’ll look to offload if we can.

Seemed to me to be more suited to quick counter attacks based teams like Eibar, rather than possession based teams. Irony is, he'd have done well during "Monk's record-breaking campaign"©

If they find someone to pay more than 50% of his wages he'll be off on loan.

Depends on whether he is interested in playing for us and I doubt that he is.


If any player is being paid by us but refuses to play, surely he'd be in breach of his contract in which case, wouldn't be able to terminate his contract?

Ways and means to not play without stating it upfront.
Baston's wages are one of three 'crippling' our finances. If we can't offload and he can be paid off for less than his wages he's more like to have his contract 'terminated by mutual consent'.
The thing is we have to decide by August 9th whereas the player can move to a European club up to the beginning of September.
If he's on our squad list on the 8th but leaves on the 10th we are left a player short.
If he's not on our squad list on the 8th he can' play for us.
Thanks to the tools the FA he holds all the aces.
On the other hand if he's prepared to come back and Cooper rates him the manager may make a case for keeping him (don't imagine Routs would be too pleased after his contract alterations last seasons).

Wouldn't we all be feckin gobsmacked if he's suddenly turned into Michu Mk II and becomes the Championship's star striker in the coming season?

It seems implausible that he'll play for us again. Then again it's very much in Baston's interests for him to be in the shop window for when his contract expires. Should he play and perform well up to Xmas, then a move in the new year, with a modest fee coming our way, could suit all parties.

Perhaps it all hinges on whether or not Borja can bear the prospect of facing the Swansea weather for another six months. A few years ago I bought a car off a vet from Seville, who was about to return home without a job to go to, having spent a couple of years working in an abattoir in the Conwy valley. Coming from Seville it must have felt like serving time in the Gulags.

I certainly would.

I don’t recall a player in my 53 years supporting the Swans who was a bigger coward.

He’d have been shit. For his faults, Gomis was quite capable of occupying centre backs. Borja would have started eagerly, got outmuscled once or twice, then someone would have kicked him and he’d have lost heart and hidden by dropping deep.

If he’d have succeeded in any team since he’s been here it would have been last seasons IMO
