Swans And West Ham Linked With Mexico Star

I know I will be glad when the transfer window shuts because no matter how many times Garry Monk suggests that the Swans have probably completed their transfer business then we are linked with another player.

In fairness I guess the manager has said that you can never say never but he talks up so often the fact that he now has the competition for places that he wants and I just cannot see new players coming in at the moment unless of course there was a departure somewhere.

Today's papers are linking us and West Ham with a move for Raul Jimenez from Athletico Madrid.

The Sun (yes, we know!) claims that the Swans are ready to make a loan move for the 24-year-old striker.

At that point you could almost understand it but then it goes onto claim that we will only be interested if we can sell Michu this summer. That for me would file it under the rubbish category given the fact that Michu has not been here for 18 months in reality and we have stated he isn't part of our squad for next season.

Therefore if we were looking to replace him with someone like Jimenez then we would have done so already rather than waiting until late on in the window to get the business done.

Interesting to read but total fabrication for me.
