Swansea City have defied my expectations in the last two seasons but i wonder if this is the season that the wheels come well and truly off. I think they could be worth a bet to be relegated

Swansea have a lot of decent players and two excellent managers,Rodgers and Laudrup in recent times but it looks like they have decided their only priority is to survive another season in the premiership. Most of their exciting players look to have decided to leave and the choice of manager in Monk is hardly ambitious.As for the new signings like Fabianski,Emnes and Siggurdson,that does not look like a team trying to excite and achieve a top 10 finish. Bony as top scorer could be a decent E/W bet but only if he leaves for Liverpool or spurs.

@klash- siggurdson actually looks a wonderful signing to me, very talented, creative, good pace and a proven product in this team already. if bony leaves (which is just a matter of time imo) then there is gomis who is good enough to replace him on a similar level. before laudrup and rogers they had martinez as well- however when they had martinez and then rogers- both of these dudes where not top managers as we know them today... so who knows maybe this monk dude is gonna be the new gem... chairman has the sniff to spot talents

yeah thanks for the bet mate, Bony at 26 looks a good value bet if you also place it like an each way bet, 4 places at most places, so definitely possible this season as they got new players as you mentioned, also they just won their opening game , so maybe ride with this confidence for a few matches and Bony to score some goals. Also one bet i would like to share is Alexis Sanchez to bet top assist ew at 25. Should be good value already got one, so odds probably slashed so get on if it has not. Cheers good luck guys!

Hey pochui-I have to admit the way Siggurdson played yesterday was excellent compared to what he did at Spurs.A good start by Swansea but I feel there is something desperately wrong with Manchester United and cannot understand why they had not signed any more players before the start of the season. Herrara has not looked very confident in the team and while Shaw is probably a decent player but seems very overpriced.
