    Looking at the Swansea fans' forum makes me bloody glad we don't have those all-singing all-dancing emoticons on CL. :-)

    Let me be the first to say that Charlton, of all teams, needs an emoticon like this though.... image

    Good luck to Jonjo. I enjoy watching Swansea matches on the box, like their style of play. Didn't overly enjoy watching the bin dippers but would make an effort when he was playing & flick over if he wasn't I hope he manages to get more regular first team football.

    I think it's a great move for JonJo. A really good footballing side, who are run in great way. Stable, even when their managers move on and seem to target likeminded successors to keep the style of football. And European football...that the Scousers can't offer!

    Good luck JonJo. Wish you all the best and look forward to seeing you play more regularly now.

    Good luck to Jonjo, Liverpool was always going to be a tough nut to crack, with their expectations resulting in them buying alleged talent rather than nurturing potential talent, I am sure he will be given more game time and given more focus in training. It would not surprise me in a couple of years if a proper big club were to come knocking.

    Absolutely brilliant, Lucky! But the train is stalled in the sidings - can you make it jump up and down a bit? :-)

  • Good luck Jonjo , loved Laudrup as a player, hope he can get the best out of Jonjo.

    Good luck, Jonjo. Swansea could be the ideal platform to show everybody what you really can do.

    Strange that we're releasing that info, we normally keep anything finance related close to our chest.

    Probably sick of all the twitter questions asking if we get anything for the Shelvey deal.

    This is great news, I am so pleased that he'll be getting regular first team football and at an attacking team who play the ball around. He'll fit right in.

    Well done Jonjo.

    Shame it never happened a little sooner, he went off to Holland today for a pre-season tour....... Would have quite liked a weekend in Amsterdam.

    Good luck to him - very good team for a midfielder to join and improve their game.

    Excellent, got 2 chances to see him live, the season after next. Our promotion or swansea's relegation ;-)

    I can't decide whether I think it's a good move for him.

    You would think he will start most games, and Swansea play the right way, but they will have a tough task and alot of pressure to emulate last season, which was well beyond their ambition. An early exit in Europe and a poor start and I can see Laudrup jumping ship for a job in the sun.

    But I wish him well and hope it works out for him. Seems like an honest lad, a good player and he will always be one of ours.
