He’s better than Fer and Hayden, this is a good signing. Not quite the midfielder we need perhaps.

Well a quick Wiki says “He plays as a deep-lying creative central midfielder, and is particularly valued for his high passing percentage accuracy and creativity.”
That’s promising.

Looked a tidy footballer but not sure he's the defensive midfielder we needed.
But welcome

Worryingly the swansea fans seem happy about this.

A much better passer of the ball than Hourihane, not much physically though,not sure on this one, would have wanted someone to screen our donkey defence better.

Welcome to the Greatest Club in the World. If you've bought a return train ticket, there's a bloke called Leroy who is after one.
