Easy job at Leicester, they only eat crisps. So we know for sure you’re telling the truth; what is Jamie Vardy’s favourite flavour?

Not sure what his favourite flavour of crisps are but there was another well known Leicester company called Walkers & Son that made superb porky pies!!!

He's played over a 100 games in the Premier league, so he should have decent quality and experience.
Could be just what we need.

Seems Bennett hasn't been played at all this season because of a contract renewal clause...presumably means that he's not match fit, and will have to catch up with the others, before being played

I’m not sure our players are match fit yet

Looks like Swansea could be prepared to pay upto 60% of his wages if he goes on loan

Cutting costs with Ryan Bennett about to depart the club ? - Swansea City News

Swansea City defender Ryan Bennett, excluded from the squad for this season and evidently not even training within any environment on offer in Swansea, the thirty two year old now has four days to sort his club future out.

Can't see it, he's on enormous money - £20k+ per week so would have to be a loan deal.
Also really, really poor on the ball, would mean a complete change in playing style or a massive downgrade.

More to the point. He’s fucking 32. Smells too much of a Waghorn or Kane style signing to me. Or Greggs is talking bollocks I can never tell.

From a stats perspective Bennett and Hyam match very closely:

No but not had chance to do much digging in truth.

If it were Bennett on a permanent it would have to be a similar deal to Kasey Palmer I guess but can't see how that would be in the player's interest this time. A loan deal with Swansea covering the vast majority of his salary could be possible, in which case we really are desperate.

Really difficult with ball playing/carrying CB's to judge on stats alone.
I don't think many of us would agree that Hyam is one of the most progressive in the league but statistically he is due to our style of play. This is even more the case with Swansea who as a team average 68% Possession & 87% Pass Accuracy every game!

IF it's a genuine link (sorry Greggs, but you make up so much stuff I have to take it with a pinch of salt even if it's not got your usual trademark nonsense attached) then it smacks of short term desperation. Of an age where he won't lead to a future transfer fee and likely on pretty high wages.

There doesn't seem to be any sort of coherent plan as to signings. We started out paying fees for young/youngish players pushing for the first team and could develop but now we seem to be going for older players on higher wages. Which would be fine if they were top drawer but we can't afford that standard so they're decidedly average.

It just makes no sense and is a policy that has failure written all over it.

Just had a look through myself, only other semi realistic one I can see is Curtis Nelson. Had a shocker against Reading and not been involved since

Out until at least November. Maybe this is our new model

Liam Moore eyes Reading return later in the year after undergoing surgery

Liam Moore has not played for Reading since December and spent the second half of last season on loan at Stoke City

Depending on amount of games that's not too bad. 8 per season.
