@ed_aarons: Looks like Rudy Gestede is set to join Middlesbrough for around £6.5m despite interest from Palace, Newcastle and West Brom #boro

He's slowly approaching the Cork / Clyne / Wanyama contract twilight zone.

Pretty sure the Chinese group's period of exclusivity would have ended by now?

Not much of a chance when they tried to "do a Saints" and sell their forward line & best defender.

Tell him that when he's on the bench

This thread is like a post-modern version of the "Schneiderlin or Wotton?" thread.

Wonder if the fact he can play as a winger might tempt us as Boufal is off to the AFCON.

I thought he was woeful against Bournemouth in the 1st half, but fair play, he turned it around and was very good 2nd half. Always tricky to judge a players potential, but at 21 he's got a pretty good chance of making a very good footballer.

Thanks simo.

Was a story that Saints & Everton wanted him before he signed his contract extension.

Another game closer to being able to bid for Sigurdsson if Swansea get relegated.

Was hoping Father Christmas could have sorted this by now.

Got a link?

Would make us a fortune in shirt sales per-letter. I recall us being linked with him before.

"We don't want him now" pretty much means they will in the summer.

Check the menu.

He is always a ridiculously good interview.

Then we can a real life FM tactic of getting Semedo to base his game on & learn from Virgil for 6 months

Sam Wallace & Jeremy Wilson have both pretty much said he can go if we get a high enough offer. £13m. (So basically anything around £10m).

Trying to think of Centre-backs we have been linked with recently... - Wimmer - Schar - Semedo - Wague

This.

I think Swansea are desperate for a defence.
