Swansea got Vorm, Graham, Routledge, Lita, Bessone, Moreira, Situ, Tremmel, Obeng, Donelly

and Moras

In that season anyway, so 2 windows, not exactly a s**t load better to be fair.

It's the next season that their transfers get markedly better than ours, because they used the foreign market well and weren't as badly affected by a change in manager as us (from a transfers perspective)

        So you're saying that Hooper or RVW would fit into a prem set up? (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Sep 2, 00:14:57
