Has handed in transfer request at Saints.
A player we should be looking at IMO. |  |

Are you taking the p1ss? He'll be moving to a bigger club, probably w/ compatriot Mourinho. | | | |

Sorry. I forgot, we're not allowed ambition are we? | |

33 years old, no spring chicken but a fantastic defender. Maybe a fee paying loan for the rest of the season? |  | | |

I laugh at threads like these.
Player becomes available for transfer/loan - we must/should be interested.
Same with Delofleu.
In an ideal world, we'd sign them all, but look at us from their perspective...
We're a shambles from top to bottom from the outside looking in, 3rd manager of the season & one place from the bottom of the division. Who would come here in January?
All well & good PC having these connections, useless unless he can persuade people to join. |  |

Most amusing. Thanks for that. |  |

there's a reason he's put in a transfer request ffs, he wants one big final move. Be interesting if he goes for more than Williams, given he is a year older and has 18 months on his contract |  |

Definitely worth investigating - he wants to move because he wants to play rather than sit on a bench, which is what he still might be doing at one of the bigger clubs whereas we can guarantee him game time.
Central defender? - Yes.
Good physique? 6ft 2 in.
A proven leader? Captain of Southampton.
Too old? Aged 33, so he probably has a couple of seasons at the top level.
Jose Fonte would be one of those players who arrive at Swansea having been rejected as first-team players by their previous club, so they have something to prove. Swans who fall into that category and played against Palace included Fab, Syggi, Naughton, Cork and others. He probably won't come here, but we should still be discussing it with him.

Swear he's been at Saints a good 5/6 years. |  | | |

When has fonte been sitting on the bench?
He is the main reason Liverpool bought lovren, saints were doing so well with those two in the team, Liverpool bought the wrong player.
Fonte may leave Southampton but it certainly won't be to play for Swansea! | | | |

You're right - my mistake, how time flies. I've now deleted it. Thanks. [Post edited 5 Jan 2017 17:25]

Sell Williams for £10m to lower the wage bill.
Sign Fonte for £10m+ on wages likely far exceeding whatever Williams wanted.
Makes sense. |  |
| |

We're dreaming if he'd want to come to us, although he'd absolutely get first-team experience, unlike one of the top clubs. | | | |

He'd walk into Liverpool, man city and maybe even uniteds back 4 | | | |

We sold Williiams because, like Ayew, he wanted to go.
Any reduction on our wage bill was just a fruitful by-product for our owners | | | |

Agree - and he's better than Gary Cahill so you can add Chelsea to that list | | | |

He's joining the Toffees in my opinion, we'd be well well down his list of clubs he'll want to join, unfortunately |  |

Only a big club desperate for a short term defensive fix would entertain him though? |  | | |

Apparently Lovern said to him after LFC played them, see you soon with a wink according to the bellend Adrian Durham on Talksport earlier  | |

We're a shambles because over the last 5/6 Windows we've not been signing players of their ilk or proven ability. Instead we've signed players like Enmes, Ngog, Tabanou, Eder, VDH, Mcburnie, Falkirk, who do not improve us but take us backwards. [Post edited 5 Jan 2017 19:56]

We could give him a go at the championship title next year ? |  |
