The Official Swansea City Thread
Discussion
There've been rumours for a while but:
Sky Bet have cut Swansea from 40/1 to 8/11 to make a shock swoop for Barcelona forward David Villa after seeing a string of significant bets.
The online betting firm added the Swans to their books by request on Wednesday afternoon and immediately saw a flurry of bets, with reports suggesting a three-month loan deal was on the cards.
Sky Bet's Chris Spicer said: "It is certainly a surprising development but, judging from the size of the stakes, it appears somebody knows something we don't.
"The suggestion is that Barcelona could allow the Spain striker to leave on a loan deal in the intention that he can regain form following the leg break, having looked some way off his best since returning at the start of the season.
"The Swans appear good suitors given their current Spanish contingent and preference to playing attractive football."
I guess if we can sell Joe Allen for £15m and get the PL current top goal scorer for £2.2m then anything is possible.

t but a regular on the SCFC2 forum claims to have it on good authority that the Villa deal is done - 3 month loan from Jan.
Today was hard going, but a fair result. Thought Vorm should have stopped their first and really we should have had a penalty as their handball was inside the box. 6 points out of 12 isn't a bad return for a busy xmas period with some serious squad rotation going on. Good to see DG10 scoring again.
