I do too as he seems like a nice lad. Having said that, I thought he was overrated and our weak spot last season and I think he would have been better off not moving to a 'big' club so soon. Hopefully I'm proved wrong but the fans of these clubs are so unforgiving it makes our moaners looks like Laker girls.


We'll probably buy him back for £4 million in January. It's the Spurs way mun

I rather hope that we will have in the French bloke or similar by then so won't be in that market.

Whenever as a teenager I was dumped by a girlfriend (which didn't happen often, obviously ) I used to run her down and think that she wasn't great. And that's OK, it's what kids do. I'm just a bit surprised that we are still doing it as adults.

Vorm and Davies will do absolutely fine for Spurs and we all know that. Good luck to them both, because they both helped us get where we are right now.

but the thing I never understand is that the money that they all earn with us is more than enough anyway for several lifetimes. If Ben had stayed and become a 'key player' he would be on the best part of £30-£35k per week. He's only 22, he would earn enough, it's not like we're talking about our players signing for a club and earning £50k per week when they've been on £2k is it? None of them ever seem to think longer term than next week's pay packet.


Not much to do with salary - more to do with testing yourself against the best players - he'll never play in the Champions League with Swansea but he has a chance of doing so with Spurs. I don't see anything wrong with him being ambitious to improve himself.

How about him continue to try to test himself in the premier league? He had more chance of doing that with us, than at Spurs.

It was all about the money, and possibly just being at a big club, a bit like Sinclair.

He'll be our first choice keeper for the cup games, he's not in the squad at the moment because of his late return and then holiday after the World Cup so he's doing individual training.

Davies was poor in our first EL game and Rose was good against QPR, no doubt because they offered nothing offensively so he was free to run down the left with Chadli cutting inside all the time.

I do expect Davies to take the first team spot sooner rather than later, he'll probably play the return EL fixture on Thursday and Rose will start against Liverpool then I expect Pochettino to look at it again.

oh sure, and I recognise that is why Ben will have moved on at the right time, but he is not yet ready to test himself against the best Champions League players (in my opinion). He couldn't yet cope with the best Premier League players - not consistently at least. A few seasons of getting really good at that level and then move - he'd still only be 24 ish and would be in a better position to really make the most of it.
I think they try to run before they can walk and, at that level, if they can't run, they get dropped pretty sharpish and end up like Sinclair - struggling to get a loan out at the level he left.

I don't think there's anything at all wrong with ambition, and I hope he does well (I genuinely don't care about Vorm) but there's ambition and there's lacking the good sense to recognise what is best in the longer term.

If he carried on his current form at Swansea though he'd be playing Championship football by the time he turned 24.

There's no guarantee he'd have had another offer from a big club in the future.

For all we know his first season was a fluke and last season is his true level.

There comes a time in a players career where they must decide whether to believe in themselves or not. You didn't see the likes of Ronaldo stay at Lisbon, Messi stay in Argentina as a child, Suarez stay in Uruguay. Even the lesser talented players like Phil Jones grabbed the first opportunity they had gotten. If he'd have stayed at Blackburn and played for them like he has for United he'd likely be playing Championship football now, where as here he is somehow keeping his place in the 18 man squad at Manchester United.

I assume you mean that we would have dropped him and he'd have moved o a lower club?

In which case, I'm not sure about that, but I am certainly one of the few who didn't think he was as good as was generally thought. I thought him a weak link last year, and Taylor was better (defensively at least, which is, after all, the first priority of our defenders). Having said that, Taylor is not back to his pre injury form at the moment.

I take the point that he may never get another chance though, although putting him in the same sentence as Messi or Ronaldo is pushing it !!

By the way - I regard Phil Jones as another utterly overrated player - he's like a lump at the moment - saw him yesterday against Sunderland and thought he was really poor. But maybe the reason that so many don't make it when they leap, is because they leap too soon. If you look at Sinclair, he's going to find it very difficult to ever get back now.

It saddens me when a Swnsea player who is making a contribution to the team and is well-liked and well-respected by the fans moves on, apparently for the money, and finds his career in Park, and sometimes in Reverse.

We get attached to them, and don't want them to fail, even if its at another club, and even at a club who "stole" him from us.

I know. That's 21st Century football. I know it, but I don't have to like it.

I know where this feeling comes from. I grew up in a world of sports where players tended to stay at their club for long terms, and there was no free agency, and no outrageous transfer fees.

I still remember Phillies and Eagles players from the 50s, even the 40s, and, of course later. Sometimes almost complete lineups. Even of clubs in other cities, amazingly enough.

I wonder who are the real beneficiaries of this new world of sports.

Hi Dav

why the fascination with Swans, did you used to live here ? How often do you get to watch us play live ? Why are we more interesting than things / sport more local to you ?
