Barrow Out, Ayew In?
Today's papers claim the Aston Villa and the Swans are in talks over a potential swap deal that could see Mo Barrow head to Villa Park with Jordan Ayew - brother of Andre- coming in the opposite direction before the transfer window closes.
The Swans were first linked with a move for Ayew last season shortly after they signed his brother but nothing materialised and he moved to Aston Villa at the start of the season.
He was one of their brighter lights of last season which was pretty dismal for them all round and today we read the news that the Swans are interested again and maybe prepared to let Barrow leave the Liberty as part of any deal.
The Sunday People suggests that it is the Swans who are instigating the potential move for the player who made 30 appearances for Villa at this level last term.
Barrow has struggled to find any levels of consistency since joining the club and is all too often in and out of the team.

Gwyn’s Eye View : Swansea City v MillwallGlyn is back with his favourite stats as we build up to the last game of the season. That comes in the form of Millwall who it seems are close to selling their requested 1,148 allocation, so its down to the Jack Army to do their bit this bank holiday weekend.
The fate today’s Swansea footballers would never have to endure Swansea City bring this season to a close on Saturday with a home game against Millwall. However, what about those bygone days when footballers had no choice but to go down the pit after their career ended, or open a toy shop, pub or retrain ? That thought would petrify todays modern footballer.
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.
