From a Dutch reporter 07:37 - Jun 7 with 3638 views | gandhiaber | Saturday, June 7th, 2014 at 07:45 by Fabian Eijkhout The transfer of Luc Castaignos from FC Twente to Swansea City seemed a done deal, but Ajax is a potential game breaker. The club from Wales | | | | |

From a Dutch reporter on 09:31 - Jun 7 with 3142 views | QuakerJack | Never thought I'd ever say this, but surely we're a better prospect than Ajax? When I say "we" I'm specifically thinking premier league over stayingiin Holland? With the cash now on offer would it be fair to say we could easily compete wage wise. Have we really come that far? I remember when Neil Lennon resigned himself to losing Ki, to think a massive club like Celtic with all their history, couldn't compete with us, pinch me, I'm dreaming. | |

From a Dutch reporter on 09:57 - Jun 7 with 3027 views | JonTheJack | Possibly on the basis of money alone. It is hard for dutch kids to turn down Ajax when they come calling. | | | |
From a Dutch reporter on 10:15 - Jun 7 with 2948 views | Daithejack | As Blaze said i dont think Ajax are in for him, reading the article it says that us making a bid or the Ajax striker may affect the deal, doubt we'd be in for both of them but you never know. | |

From a Dutch reporter on 11:53 - Jun 7 with 2742 views | MagicDaps | Yeh, Ajax aren't in for him, it's about Sigthorsson and it doesn't really make any sense. We aren't going to cancel the deal for Castaignos to sign him, we're either interested in signing QUALITY cover up front given how important it is to sign good strikers or we're looking at other options for a similar fee if the Castaignos deal was to break down. | |

Or we are genuinely thinking of cashing in on Bony | |

From a Dutch reporter on 12:04 - Jun 7 with 2681 views | JackoBoostardo | Seems like nothing more than a "gentle push" to get the deal finished maybe, by professing interest in another player? Just a guess at the moment - until everything is confirmed, tied up and the player is holding our shirt/scarf, then it's just papertalk. | |

From a Dutch reporter on 12:25 - Jun 7 with 2597 views | JACK_SWAN | I am out in The Netherlands attending a wedding and eveyone is saying that Luc Castaignos is not worth the money being asked for him. I have not spoken to anyone who actually rate him here. [Post edited 7 Jun 2014 16:02]

No, we aren't. We were always going to look to sign at least two strikers this summer, probably two strikers + Emnes. It's odd that somebody who's obviously aware that we've currently got one striker assumes Bony's off when we're looking for more than one. | |

From a Dutch reporter on 09:41 - Jun 8 with 1743 views | Catullus | Here we go, knocking a player before we even sign him! I read on the SWEP that Monk was looking at having 4 strikers. I know the fees will limit who we get, but maybe we are after Castaignos and Sigthorsson? | |

Well there's Bony, Castaignos and Emnes is wanted too. We have also apparently been in talks for Batshuayi. That's 3 strikers and with Michu and Emnes we have two midfielders who can play up front. | |
