James Bree (Signed for Luton Town)

[sirlordbaltimore]

Good luck to the lad. If we stay down and have to lighten the books again the likes of Bree are going to be our starters next season.

Show us what you can do

I have always been impressed with Bree whenever he' had the chance to play

He was doing well until he got his chance to start in a home game (against Brentford I think).  He had a nightmare and has hardly been seen since. 

He's only young though so hopefully he can put that behind him.

Taylor is pretty useless and Bree has waited ages for his chance.

[PaulWinch again]

I really hope he takes this chance.

[sickbeggar]

A freshening up of the team near the end of the season could be just what's needed. I know he's young but he's got 50 odd games with Barnsley under his belt. Can't be much worse than Taylor so an improvement in that part of the pitch is would be welcomed.

I've got hopes for this guy

Who else still thinks we got the best of the Ayew/ Taylor deal?

[eamonn]

To be fair, Ayew, talented though he is, has not offered much return on investment for Swansea either.

[KevinGage]

Been hailed as a big reason for their turnaround in the second half of the season. So @ £5 million plus Taylor (so prob about £5.2 million in real terms) I'd say they've had a return on their investment and then some. What does £5 million buy you today?

6 goals and a few assists in the top division already this year, close to what he had managed with us in his last stint in the top flight over an entire season.

We signed him for £10 million, and he was probably one of a few players who didn't sully his reputation in that travesty of a season.  So moving him on at a loss didn't look like our greatest bit of business then or now.

[SoccerHQ]

Probably in the minority but I don't mind Taylor.

Ideally I'd like to see Bree in at RB which is his position after all but AEM has been better than I expected.

absolute shitarse deal imo

Ghastly. Quite, quite ghastly.

[SoccerHQ]

Karl Henry's got to be a cert to be red carded if we keep running at him?

Awful player.

Odds on. But no. Can't be bothered with an analysis of the weaknesses of the opposition. Too much like a plan.

If Swansea get relegated, will he have made enough of a difference?
