That depends. More players went out of Swansea than came in, indicating to me that their goal this season is to stay up rather than to compete fr a European spot.
As for your narrow minded attack of my previous comparison, I thoroughly apologize that the scenarios were not exactly the same and up to your exacting standards. I guess I shouldn't have taken a scenario familiar to all of us and compared it to a different sport. All comparisons should be identical. You're right.
Not to mention, it was foolish of me to take into consideration the concept that when players are sold the managers get all of that money to reinvest in players of the same quality.
As for interest in van Persie? I don't know, they weren't really reported other than Juve, but there are clubs out there like PSG and others buying guys like Drogba and Anelka so it stands to reason that other offers exist, however that's speculation.
