Swansea will have a better season than last season. Michael Laudrup is an excellent coach. I like him. He managed Getafe, Mallorca as well as Brondby and Spartak Moscow before. His time as Getafe was the most notable one as he transformed them into a very tough team with some exciting and counter attacking play.
That is why it is good to have a manager with experience in La Liga. No one knew Michu before. He could be the buy of the season. He scored again today. They have three more Spanish players.
Laudrop from his time at Getafe and Mallorca liked to play counter attacking. He played with big European teams like Juventus, Real, Barca, Ajax and few others.
Swansea for top four? I don't think they will get it but they will be close.

Highest they will finish is 8th. Remeber the start hull made couple seasons back. I think they ended up in 17th. Old cliche marathon not a sprint come to mind

BR took over Swansea who already had a passing game instilled into the players by their 2 previous managers,Sosa and Martinez.Looks like Laudrup has added quality all round and partly down to the £15million they got for Allen.

Swansea will do well to finish in the top ten. Close to top four? Well that's another one for your collection of clangers.

I don't think they'll make top 4 but I think its been much easier for him to set up this team thanks to the work done by BR
Swansea have lost two of their best players,but Laudrup has got them playing better than when BR was there. We can only look at the facts, Swansea have beaten both teams they've played,ok, they weren't the strongest of teams,but I would rate QPR over WBA,after all the signings they've made.

---------------------------
QPR have made a lot of signings and I wouldn't say any of them are any better than WBA players, especially considering that WBA players have been together for a while and haven't all just been bought in over the summer.
Also Swansea have had to very easy openers, lets see how they fair against teams with stronger defences and with midfields capable of keeping possession.

I know, but I reckon LFC will do well once their players settle,so I'm having a pop at the club while I can.

Great start for Swansea, but long way to go. However if they stick to what they are doing then they may just be on course for a darn good season.
I do get the impression that a lot of people are putting Swansea's success down to Rodgers. It's very certainly more than partially so, but you could see the work in progress laid down by Martinez, Sousa and Rodgers, and now hopefully Laudrup.
