Carra as no2,maybe

I'm excited too.

We have a defence as good as near enough any team's in the league and if we buy some players with more technical ability and play more expansively then we can only progress.

I wouldn't be surprised to one or two Swansea players along with some quality players from Europe.

*to see.

I do think we will improve.
it is very dificult to do worse than this season and win less home matches than we did.

Our defence is very good, we all know the problem was in that we didn't score enough goals.

Suarez will play more games and Carroll is improving too. And that's before we even sign anyone. Our wide players need to either up their game massively or be replaced, I've tried to see the positives in Downing but to go a whole league season without a goal or an assist is abysmal.

this are quotes of him about how he thinks about the philosophy of football.

“Whenever I was playing as a youth international with Northern Ireland we would play Spain, France, Switzerland and the like. And we were always chasing the ball. In my mind, even at that young age, I remember thinking ‘I’d rather play in that team than this team’.”

“My philosophy is to play creative attacking football with tactical discipline, but you have to validate that with success.”

“I like to control games. I like to be responsible for our own destiny. If you are better than your opponent with the ball you have a 79 per cent chance of winning the game. For me it is quite logical. It doesn’t matter how big or small you are, if you don’t have the ball you can’t score.”

“The example of the Barcelona model was a great influence and inspiration to me. When I was at the Chelsea academy, that was how my players would play, with that high, aggressive press, combined with the ability to keep the ball.”

“People don’t notice it with us because they always talk about our possession but the intensity of our pressure off the ball is great. If we have one moment of not pressing in the right way at the right time we are dead because we don’t have the best players. What we have is one of the best teams.”

“My idea coming into this club [Swansea] was to play very attractive attacking football but always with tactical discipline,” he said. “People see the possession and they see the penetration, the imagination and the creativity, but we’ve had 23 clean sheets this year. So in nearly 50 per cent of our games we haven’t conceded a goal.”
