Winter transfer, gossip, speculation and usual butter ollocks thread

This years TOM Carroll !?

[Lastfootstamper]

Borja Baston aged 27. 10 goals in 34 games for Deportivo, 22 in 38 for Zaragoza 18 in 36 for Elbar.

But not quite as prolific in the four years since. Seemed to fall out of favour early on at Swansea. Here's hoping we can be the ones to give Borja back his mojo.

[Richard E]

Let's hope he scores more often than Brendon Batson used to.

Hopefully he sets up a crucial match winning goal for us en route to the league title like Brendon Batson did.

[Brazilian Villain]

You’ve got to pity that poor sod whose move from Wigan to AC Milan has collapsed after he’d been flown toItaly by private jet.

Could be worse, at leat it wasn't a Piper Malibu!

I'm expecting Borgia Baston to have a killer instinct in front of goal.

[JUAN PABLO]

reminds me of that other swansea player we had last minute - one didnt turn up I think and maybe one did

[Jon Crofts]

Pato Banton? I preferred his work with The Beat to his UB40 stuff.

[Small Rodent]

Phonetically, Borja sounds like my wife cursing god in Polish!

[Damo70]

With each passing transfer window I feel my dream of seeing Jozy Altidore in a Villa shirt slipping away 

[Jon Crofts]

Odds on Salomon Rondon joining us have been slashed in the last 15 minutes or so.

[villa `cross the mersey]

Pato Banton? I preferred his work with The Beat to his UB40 stuff.

I keep thinking of Buju Banton....

I hope it was just "bants" and we bring in a quality striker before 11pm

For someone who cost Swansea 15.5 million  pounds when he signed from  Athletico Madrid
3 years ago, and is costing us basically nada,Borja could yet prove to be a bargain.
, his record of 92 goals in 279 games ain't too ducking fusty .Golden Boot winner in the Under 17            World Cup a few years back, is  also on his resume. He's not the 'star; striker we
 were hoping for butwe should give the guy a chance, after all, with the ' Russian' off to Darby on loan  he will probably spend a lot of time on the bench , who knows, he would'nt be the first BARGAIN buy to surprise us all( see Mings.T and Ny;land.O )   ood luck  to you ' Edge'............Godzvilla!!

[Clark W Griswold]

Sooner have him than no fucker. Did well a few years ago and still been playing but the goals have dried up. He’s a big fucker so a temporary cover for Wes. I suppose all in all it’s a bit like the possible Benteke deal other than this guy doesn’t have the PL experience and the former cult status with us. Welcome anyway, if it gets done.

[PaulWinch again]

Bowen going to Wham is a right fucker.

[eamonn]

Yep, really disappointed we haven't landed Bowen. Remember being impressed with him on the opening day of our second season in the Ch'ship when he scored Hull's goal at VP in a 1-1 (Gabby for us, Green missing a sitter with his head).
His Dad is a Villan, guess it'll be hard for him to cheer on the wrong team in claret and blue.

[supertom]

It was always going to be difficult to pull off another big signing. Keinan's back in action now and I think has an important role to play. If the Baston signing comes off and he contributes (and it's better than having no striker at all) then it'll be a decent move. He's got four months to earn himself a new deal basically. We obviously tried a few other avenues and couldn't get them over the line.
