    New player imminent (Kemy Agustein - Swansea) according to The Argus

    It's not an opinion shared by many, but I genuinely believe that Agustien remains one of the most technically gifted players at Swansea, even with the other players we've brought in. He can dominate games from midfield if he puts his mind to it, and was MOTM by a country mile against Man Utd at...

    Swansea created the blue print for a passing championship side

    Not quite the full story there Bri. It did indeed take us three seasons. It also took us three managers. Martinez introduced the passing football, but we were too weak defensively to mount a serious challenge in his first season. Sousa then came in and made us very, very tough to beat at the...

    Championship defenders can't handle him it's true. Problem is Premier League ones could. He didn't have much game time because it was obvious from the off that it was all too quick for him. He's at a good club now though. He should do well.

    That's cool. I feel less guilty now.

    Nothing overly impressive could be his motto. There are people who rate him much more highly than I do. I've just never been able to understand why.

    Hmmmmmmm. Somewhere deep down inside Andrea Orlandi a good player can be found. Somewhere. In fairness to the lad, he's not short of technique. Good range of passing, good at set pieces. Not bad touch. He's got all the skills you'd need to be effective at your level. He's just so utterly...
