Ivorian striker, despite consistent rumours, was the subject of no bids for the entire transfer window
What a transfer window we've had. Sigurdsson, Fabianski, Fernandez, Gomis & Jeff coming in, while the players who left - who were, in some cases, of undoubted class - were all players who perhaps weren't 100% committed to the cause. In my eyes that's a bloody great few months. What's more, despite the continued claims of almost every newspaper across the land Wilfried Bony is still a Swansea City player. Great news indeed.
There is one player though who, when I heard he'd moved to Wigan on a permanent deal for £2-3million, I was very disappointed we weren't in for. That player is ex-Swansea youngster (more recently of Manchester City) Emyr Huws. He's young, he's an ex-Swan, he's a defensive midfielder, he suits the way we play, he was available for a ridiculously good price... I'd have loved for us to have been in for him and it would seem to have made lots of sense. Superficially at least.
When all is said and done though, if not scrambling around on deadline day and missing out on one potential bargain is the sole price we pay for running our club responsibly and going about our transfer business in the manner which best suits our club, it's something which we can't grumble about. This summer we've most definitely played a blinder, and in Sigurdsson's case in particular it's already looking like we may have made one of the signings of the summer.
It's hard to ask for much more than that, really.
