Montero To Bayern Munich? Not Going To Happen...
So then Jefferson Montero is being named in an article of people that Bayern Munich could go for as they want a new winger but come on, really, it isn't going to happen - well at least not at this moment in time anyway.
We know how good Montero is. Callum Chambers knows how good Montero is. Branislav Ivanovic knows how good Montero is and slowly but surely the rest of the world Is waking up to how good Montero is. But at this point in time to many of them - as an article in yesterday's Daily Mail (I know, I know) he has only played two good games - Chelsea and Newcastle this season.
What we are saying is simply that to the main football world Montero is someone who did little last season and has played a couple of good games this season.
That is not a slight on Pep Guardiola who is in charge in Munich as I am sure that his knowledge is more detailed than Martin Samuels is. However, what he won't be doing at the moment is making Montero a Munich player not until he has performed over a longer period of time and I firmly believe at the moment that goes for any of the bigger clubs (remember Rio Ferdinand suggested last weekend that a top four club should be looking to sign him)
Montero is an absolute gem for us and we know that he can make some very good defenders look very ordinary but the good news for us is that we will hold onto him for this season but with every passing top performance there will be more people taking an interest and then there could be some genuine links with clubs who would like to take him away from the Liberty.
But for now he is a Swansea player and he will remain a Swansea player.

Brave Swans in memorable game at Carrow Road It was a pulsating game to watch and very much one of my favourite away games of the season. The Swans looked an entirely different side to that we saw at Middlesbrough when it is clear a catalyst for commitment was agreed behind the scenes at Swansea City. To a man every player grafted and
wore the shirt with pride. To see the players really acknowledge the Swans support at Carrow Road this afternoon was emotional.
Swansea reject Cullen contract and trigger one year option Liam Cullen has had his request for a new contract dismissed by Swansea City after discussions broke down last week. The lowest paid ‘senior’ player at the club ( he is twenty five) asked for a better contract increasing his £3,500 a week to around £7,000 a week over three years.
Sam Parker hasn’t turned down a new deal, he is willing to negotiate He was a revelation for the Swans for the few games he played this season, and now it emerges Sam Parker has ‘turned down’ a new Swansea City contract. News is thin on the ground, and some of it just incorrect as he looks to involve his representatives in some further negotiations. Plus his current contract runs for two more years.
Swansea City : The vision is clearer, so Jamal Lowe ? There were some worrying moments for the Swans yesterday, on three occasions mistakes from playing out from the back nearly saw the home side score. And is there now a case for Jamal Lowe to be offered a contract at Swansea ?
Leighton James : His own football revolution With the passing of Leighton James yesterday we have a Saturday night treat for football fans, Swans fans and Wales followers the world over. Who can recall the magic boots imposing themselves on clubs throughout Wales and England ?
