An option that i have trying to convince myself about could be balloteli, has come back and said he needs to pull his finger out and undoubtedly has some talent. Might work well under FG with the italian connection
If that is the extent of our summer transfer business, make no bones about it, we are going down. Like, Aston Villa without a fight, down. We will create nothing, score nothing.
So playing Ayew up top, a position he excelled in at the end of season, plus adding joe Allen and a better winger and right back would send us down? As another poster pointed out, we finished the season really well which I believe was down to excellent coaching and motivating from the staff. We are not gonna spend massive like some clubs so surely just spend more on the positions we need it most. I don't want to see big numbers coming in. Hardly ever works! Aston villa and Newcastle spent huge amounts last year and went down
Hello Swansea fans I am just a Lyon fan passing. I see that you all noticed how Gomis can be annoying with his offsides. So I just want to share with you that parody made some years ago by a Lyon fan when he was at our club:.
I also see that his wages is a big issue for you. That was the same thing for us and I think that you will have to keep him or loan him until his end of contract because our president tried to ditch him the last two years but he never accept. He even refuse Swansea in his last year of contrat that made the president go nut accusing directly Gomis of having a behavior problem and be the cause of the departure of Anthony Martial because we needed money at this time. Lastly in the newspapers in France they say that Gomis is reallly close of Marseille but Marseille is in bad shape financially(for sale) so the rumours says that they cannot pay more than 30% of his wages.
Edit: Sorry for the multiple posting of the same post I was not thinking that the post was sent so I send him many times by misytake^^

I agree that Ayew looked more than capable up front towards the ends of the season. But id be hugely uncomfortable with having as our main man. When others are injured/out of form, he should be the one moving there - not bringing in somebody like HRK to do the job. Our back ups need to be quality as well as our starters.
Our wingers have generally been hit and miss for a few seasons. A couple of good games, then drift into obscurity. When that happens we will be screwed. Even more so if something happens to Gylfi. We have a bunch of workhouse midfielders/defensive midfielders who create nothing much and our full backs offer virtually zero in an attacking sense.
Worst case scenario would be we don't bring in a decent number 1 striker, we don't bring in a decent creative midfield player (not Allen!) and Gylfi gets injured. We struggled last season to create too, people forget due to the last few weeks of the season where other teams generally didn't turn up against us.
"Michu, Britton and Williams could have won 3-0 on their own. They wouldn't have required a keeper."

good video, and spot on
Gomis himself seems like a decent bloke and he seems to get on well with the team. But it's madness that we're repeating the same mistakes. I wonder if this apparent greed is being driven by his agent?

So we actually repeated all the mistakes made before on him? Good-oh. Glad to see we were on the ball.

Only 30% of his wages.
So, you only pay him when he's on-side? Brilliant - why the f*ck didn't we think of that?

Ayew has the same agent company and followed the same pattern: both run down deals to take up new posts on high wages, high signing on fees, long contracts. Both have a considerable amount of sh*t in the press on them too. It's ok I suppose when they perform, but a bugger to get rid of if they don't.
We cant go into the season with only McBurnie as our only out and out striker.
I am sure there is a lot of work going on in the background because thus far, we are still 2 strikers, a midfielder and a Right Back short for the new season.

i'm pretty sure Ayew will be our striker... with one more brought in and then mcburnie as 3rd choice... if we sign Hal Robson Kanu then maybe we would have 4 strikers.
Am I the only one quite happy with Ayew being our number 1 striker next season ?
Like stated earlier it would mean him vacating his current " position" giving us a chance of real pace there instead.
While I would like a top class striker And the return of Joe Allen we're not in the worst position.
Nope, I'm with you. Advantages being he does know where the net is, he's less of a temptation for us to play long and it allows us to unleash 2 genuine, pacey wingers. So far from the end of the world, even if strengthening the squad would be good.

Ayew up top guarantee's for me 15 goals next season, add another striker who can get 10, then me need midfield and wide men to chip in also with 5/6 each then happy days

I'm with you also. We can't afford to have a player like Ayew playing as a cover. We know he works up top so for me spending silly money on a striker is silly when we need a fullback, winger and midfielder more. All comes down to what system guidolin wants to use but siggy just off Ayew worked very well towards end of season so I'm happy with that

Need a striker who can hold the ball up especially when we are under pressure.
Well I doubt much will get concluded while Huw is out in America with the team so we probably won't see new signings for another week. Unless he's just flying out for the games?
