January 2014 Transfer Window

Swansea have really gone backwards this season. Not sure what has happened there.

[MJB]

Being in the Europa League hasn't helped them.

[Jimmy]

They've suffered a lot of injuries, haven't they?

[9 to 5]

Aye, extra games and injuries have fucked them over, plus Laudrup wants out.

[Jimmy]

To be fair, if Laudrap was that desperate for out, I'm pretty sure he could've got the Spurs job.

[METALMAN]

Would you have wanted him at Spurz? The cracks were beginning to show in Swansea by that point. I was listening to the Guardian football podcast - I've not checked myself - and they say that Laudrup always does well in his first season but then gets bored and results suffer.

[Nerf]

Why have Swansea signed David N'Gog?

For the sake of his development until he displaces Fernando Torres.

[Dynamite]

Cabaye to PSG looks to be on according to Sky Sports, with 'a deal agreed in principle'

[Crybaby Bunting]

Fuck football

[TCO]

Hopefully Cabella comes in over the next few days as a replacement. I wouldn't bank on it though, the Montpellier chairman sounds like a right knobhead.

[METALMAN]

That's Cabaye-bye from him then.

[EddieG]

So apparently Cardiff have loaned Zaha and signed Fabio from Man U, as well as sign Kenwyne Jones from Stoke.

[Hobo]

Why have Swansea signed David N'Gog?

Because his name is fun to say.

Because his name is fun to say.

Even if my ex-gf got me into the very racist habit of saying nig nog.

[Rich]

That is not cool

That is not cool

I never said it was. It was annoying and got awkward a few times.

They've suffered a lot of injuries, haven't they?

They do, and also a really tiny squad. I know this because I tried playing a Career Mode with them in Fifa 14 They have like 2 fit strikers, one of which is on loan from Getafe, and barely any recognised midfielders beyond their ideal starters, leaving only a couple of viable subs, also one of their handful of midfielders is also a loanee. They have had a lot of injuries especially to their midfield, which made the loaning out of Ki really hurt, but apparently they could not get him back for the remainder of the season.

I read all the other gossip about Laudrup's attitude and track record etc. but regardless of that, he has a very thin squad and its been wrecked by injury, including their top scorer, Michu.
