Swansea City in talks 11:08 - Aug 26 with 27159 views | KeithHaynes | As from this morning talks between the Swans and two players, one believed to be a loan are underway to bring them in before the end of the window. Monday (7pm) One is cited as a goalscorer and of interest for months due to the clubs progression planning. The other a defender. The location of one of them is believed to be mainland Europe. In an ideal world the club want three in. |  |

Swansea City in talks on 23:34 - Aug 27 by Fireboy2 | He was anonymous when I watched both games as he played full back in both games. Idah scored 13 in 100 appearances for Norwich and didnt look that goid when i watched him, which begs the question wtf did that pub team pay 9 million 😳 That pub teams fans want him gone but o'dea used to coach him so perhaps he sees something in him, I dont 🤷 |
Was Sargent keeping him out of the Norwich team? |  | |  |

Dont know, he played 100 games in 5 seasons so an average of 20 games and the pub team paid 9 million for him. |  | |  |

History of injuries then it would be a risk that I would be loathed to take. |  | |  |

If Idah is the target we’re a joke of a club,not an upgrade on what we’ve already got,which was supposed to be the policy, in fact probably worse than what we already have What happened to this brilliant scouting system,sounds more like desperation than analysis |  | |  |

Ever so slightly ott post we have had a good window and seem to have lost out to bigger clubs over striker I'd be underwhelmed with Idah but let's wait and see if it's true before calling the club a joke! |  |

Yes, nowhere near a joke. It’s been an exceptional window outside of striker. But if we don’t end up with someone at least as good as the likes of McBurnie and Kone or we bring in someone from abroad who takes three months to get used to the championship, we’ll have failed in this area. Before anyone says those two didn’t want to come here, they are just examples of the type of striker within our range. Just a case of trusting the recruitment team now. |  | |  |

Idah would be a good signing scored 16 for Celtic last season and was their 2nd striker. Including 2 against Villa in the Champ league. What has Kone achieved then. I am happy to trust the recruitment team . |  |

Swansea City in talks on 11:11 - Aug 28 with 1607 views | 01swans | My only worry is if Idah is a genuine target it feels like O'Dea and Sheehan have control as opposed to the recruitment team. We need to stick to the model of uncovering talent rather than spending decent amount on journeymen who are rendered dead assets. |  | |  |

Do you know what a journeyman is? He is 24 years old and has played for Norwich and Celtic |  |

I’m not knocking Idah, I don’t know anything about him and these twitter rumours are usually wrong anyway. I’ve said if we don’t get in anyone the calibre of the type of players we could have signed two months ago, that’s an issue. Kone was the best player in league one last season according to the PFA |  | |  |
