Huwbs has a quivering boner reading that.
""Although I cannot promise or predict the future, I can guarantee one thing - the current board of directors will always fight, as we have done over the last 12 years, to work together as one with the Supporters Trust to make 100% sure that Swansea City football club remains the number one priority in all our thoughts and in every decision we make."
Signings like this are the kind that got us into this shit in the first place. Far too expensive for a very very average player who is no better than Cork. When will we ever learn?

I think that Sam Clucas is much better than Cork. This guy is an attack oriented central midfielder who carries the ball forward. Other posters mentioning his goals but that's not his strength, he's not that sort of player, and we need to buy somebody else eg Chadli to try and replace Siggy. I am confident that Clucas will improve our midfield but he is not a Siggy type player, I see him more in the style of Darren Pratley
People think Routs is ineffective - yet last season Routs had the exact same goal/assist stats despite starting 12 games less
He is a holding/defensive midfielder though isn't he?
Leon Britton was our savior according to many last season and one of our most consistent players ever.... He has NEVER scored in the PL and has recorded only ONE assist in 6 years.
People need to stop looking at these sort of stats and judging a player in my opinion.

Totally different positions mun. The same people were moaning about Carrol and Olson in January. Jesus give him a chance if he's coming in. He was one of hulls best players in his first year. In the league. I don't seem to remember joe Allen getting loads of goals and assists in his first season in the prem yet he was good enough Liverpool.
I have to be honest. I like the idea of someone who a good range of passing ability, the ability to break up play, along with a high work rate. the most interesting thing is his ability to run with the ball like a winger, but he would be doing it from a quite deep position.
He wouldn't have been top of my list by a country mile. He does intrigue me though.
If we are signing him let's make sure we don't make the simplistic assumption that he's a direct replacement for Siggy. He clearly is not. If anything he's there to challenge Fer for the box-to-box role, and to provide all-round versatility. He's played left back, left wing as well as in more central areas for Hull last season. He even played a couple of games at centre back (and did well by all accounts) - which isn't that surprising when you consider he's 6'2".
If we sign Clucas it's as a Jack of all Trades (hopefully not master of none) all-rounder. His contribution would have to be seen in this light.

We haven't had a midfielder who can carry the ball forward since Jonathan Deguzman so Sam Clucas could address that shortcoming. It's certainly needed. He is also quite a competitive player so will add some bite and leadership to our midfield.

So a middle 3 of Carroll, Mesa and Clucas with Chadli and Ayew out wide and Abraham up front?
None of which were with us before christmas of last year. PC has his team evolving.
I just hope PC is involved in player recruitment. HJ should be kept as as far away as possible from player recruitment. To me we seem to be on the back foot now. Surely the board have known since May GS was going, why haven't players been lined up in advance.
Is Clucas our second option if we cannot sign Chadli? I assume they both play in the same position?
Chadli is mainly a winger who can also play as an AM, I think Clucas is more of a central midfielder. Would expect Chadli to be coming in as an upgrade to Routledge's role.
Still trying to get my head around this. The club has known that Sigurdsson wanted to leave since last May and the best options identified are Clucas & Chadli ?

If we do end up going for clucas I think he can play in various positions across he MF.
It's all about PC having the options to change things with quality which we don't have anywhere near or right now. For me, it's a little underwhelming as we seem to gamble too much on players who have been relegated and Sam is another.
Of course it's all going to depend on our formation. I think he might better suited to the 3 at the back set up where his strengths compliment our other MF players such as Carrol, Mesa and Fer.
So in a 532
Fab
Ollson Naughton,
Barkley, Fernandez, Mawson
Mesa / Leon Carrol / ki Clucas / fer
Tammy / ayew Llorente Or with wingers in a 4231 (433)
Fab Ollson Naughton Fernandez Mawson Mesa Carrol Clucas Ki Ayew Llorente or Tammy
Obviously this is without considering other potential signings such as Chadli, Bony or Snodgrass.
