I'd have him, he's quite decent.

I like him a lot, would be a very decent probably not so expensive signing. Wouldn't want him as our 'starman' as I believe we need to pick from the highest shelf as well, but he's not far off and potential is certainly there.
Gylfi, Eriksen and Martinez would be more than I'd dare hope for, but exactly what we need.

I've said it time and time again that we need a Silva, Mata, Iniesta, Hazard, Özil etc type player. Someone who can play as a wing forward and also drift inwards and unlock defenses against teams who park the bus at Anfield.
In comparison:
Silva 33 games 13 assists
Iniesta 24 games 7 assists
Mata 32 games 11 assists
Hazard 33 games 14 assists
Özil 32 games 16 assists

A low assist count doesn't necessarily make a bad player. It also depends on whether or not the potential scorer is able to finish the job off. It's a 2-way thing.
However, this thing sounds like Charlie Adam all over again. He's a good player in a shit team. I'd hoped we'd learned our lesson. At this moment in time we need to looking at attracting established players, not yet another kid, who's supposedly a good investment for the future.

Eriksen, Suarez and Gylfi will unlock even the most stubborn of stubborn defenses. Wouldn't mind any of the above described players either mind.
This is true, the list isn't proof of any kind considering the players who some of those listed have infront of them, Ronaldo, Messi etc.
But I'm after that type of player. We had Garcia once, how about finding another Garcia?
Well someone who's a bit better maybe?

Even though I get your drift I don't think we are in a position where we can buy the best players from the best team, hence it'll often be a good player from a decent to not so good team.
Whom have you got in mind if you mind me asking?

Gylfi has since his Youth years been rated as one of the top young players in Europe. He's not just some unknown quantity having a good Season. Just saying.
Agreed. Garcia did piss me off at times, but at least he could put in a good cross, and he wasn't afraid to have a shot at goal.

You mean £30M Pastore?
Not sure we're able to buy Napoli's starman either with no Champions League on board. Lodeiro isn't good enough imo and I don't know Belhanda. You need to go on mate 🙂

You reckon Arsenal will sell us Wilshere mate? You drinking?
Jovetic is probably our best shout of that lot but I'd much prefer Eriksen then.
Fair point. I realise we won't exactly be signing a Messi or an Iniesta. Don't get me wrong, I think Sigurdsson is a decent player for his age and he's probably the best thing Swansea have going for him. But I think we should be trying and aim a little higher than that.
Who do I have in mind? No one in particular. Cavani probably sticks out more than most, but that's probably just a case of wishful thinking. I think a striker should be our no. 1 priority, because that's where 90% of our problems lie. A right winger should be no. 2. Anything after that is a bonus.
Just throwing stuff at the wall to see what sticks...

I think we shold aim higher as well at least for our top targets. But as a third or fourth player this Summer he'd be awesome.
Personally I'd like us to buy a skillful attacking midfielder more than anything. I believe in Carroll and Suarez to score loads if the supply got better.
I know we've created loads of chances but rarely 100 pct. ones. We need that cutting edge more than anything I believe.
How about we just trade them Henderson straight up and we'll throw in a bag of footballs to sweeten the deal.
No, we definitely need a natural goal scorer. Suarez can on occasion stick it in the back of the net. Carroll has been given countless pin point crosses, only for him to head over the bar when he should be hitting the target.
Sigurdsson was Readings player of the season in the Chmpionship two years ago, then went to Hoffenheim for about £8million where he was their player of the season in the Bundesliga. They then changed coach this year and he was on the bench up til Christmas and swansea got a great deal getting him on loan for the rest of the season.
He's stil only 22, has scored 7 in 14 league games since coming to Swansea plus a couple of assists. He would be an excellent signing. I started a thread on him a couple of months ago, but most importantly Pesam picked him out a couple of years ago based on his Championship form. That's a good enough seal of approval for me.
Reckon he would cost about 10-12m which I think is fair ish at the lower scale of that price range. When you compare it to Henderson, Downing and Carroll certainly

How does he fit into a side that already has Gerrard, Henderson, Shelvey and.. *grumbles*... Adam?
Is he good enough to stand out as being automatic first choice or will we end up arguing the toss as to which player has been slightly above average and thus deserves to start?
