Swansea made some daft decisions last season, but it looks like they are taking on board the criticisms from fans.

[B. Oddie]

A tidy acquisition by all accounts but I can see them struggling to keep hold of Sigurdsson and the boy from Barnsley whose name escapes me.

The problem with young loanees though is that clubs take a massive gamble on them, particularly if you're asking them to play in a higher league. It takes them nearly an entire season to find their niche and then they're handed back to the parent club all raring to go.

With this boy in particular, I think I read somewhere that there was a loan fee of £1 Million! A tad excessive for that. For a million, I'd at least expect to keep his right foot (w/toes) when he returns to Chelsea.

Alfie Mawson please don't call me a jack for knowing that.

Alfie Mawson please don't call me a jack for knowing that.

He reminds me of BIFF, from the Back to the Future films.

Tammy loves a good relegation battle!

Just what I was thinking.

Watched bits of Ingurlunds under 21 game yesterday (I think, heats got to me), he seemed a bit of a selfish **** with the ball. + he falls over a lot.

Whilst he looks like the total package. Pace, Height, Power etc He was ruddy awful twice against us last year. He looked scared of Bamba - still he's young though and theres a hell of a lot of potential there until Chelsea finally sell him.

[Fine Lines]

Good signing, £1million is nothing to a premier league club. Just shows the gulf between the Championship and Premier League.

decent punt, hard to say anything negative as we would be loving it if we signed him.

Absolutely, as he's proven himself at this level but I do believe the Jacks are taking a gamble.

The boy has to play in the Prem at some point though.

[Cyncoed Slumdog]

Friend of mine was a sports journalist and is a current wurzel season ticket holder. He's not convinced that Abraham is good enough to play at premier level - hope he's right.

[Rjk]

Good signing that, that kid is going places.

Well done to the jacks could be a decent signing.

[Dr Lecter]

I'm going to stick my neck out here and say that he'll struggle this season.

Sure he looks like he's got talent but I think he's too easily bullied out of games and makes poor decisions.

Too much of a step up in my opinion.

[bobh]

Will A Abraham take his board with him?

I am with you on that

while he was fairly decent for the Wurzles, the Jacks are in the prem league, i know a lower placed team, so i guess he might fit in

[bluethrough]

Probably better he plays for whoever in the Premier league rather than for one of our rivals in the Championship.

Hopefully it's to replace Llorente, can't really see that working as a pairing.
As Chelsea were after Lorente in January maybe that was part of the deal to secure the loan?

[stan butler]

I think he will be a great signing for the Jacks with their style of play

[life on mars]

Wynette???? it will only end in D.I.V.O.R.C.E

[NYCBlue]

Just what I was thinking.

Me too!

He's a successful goal scorer over one season at Championship level. If we were in the EPL and signed him I wouldn't be too excited.

This sounds quite feasible and shrewd from both parties.
Chelsea will get to see if the boy can fulfil his potential whilst gaining a proven striker in a poor side. The Swansea owners, although taking a risk, get a new signing, a striker who will score goals (IF provided chances) and appease the fans too.

I get the comments from Bob and NYC but I reckon they're borne more out of hope

Borne out of the evidence available more like.

The element of hope applies to how well he would do in the premier, having almost zero experience of it

He's gonna be good and deep down we all know it
