Left winger.
Strange with Montero and Routs on that side already. |  | |  |

| Swansea Indepenent Poster Of The Year 2021. Dr P / Mart66 / Roathie / Parlay / E20/ Duffle was 2nd, but he is deluded and thinks in his little twisted brain that he won. Poor sod. We let him win this year, as he has cried for a whole year. His 14 usernames, bless his cotton socks.

Ola John continues his career at Swansea City. The 23-year-old striker has agreed a five-year deal with the club in the Premier League. Negotiations between Swansea City and the employer of Ola John, the Portuguese Benfica, are in a final stage.
Ola John enters a big wish. "It was always a dream of Ola to ever play in the Premier League," explains Collins John, older brother and agent of Ola opposite Voetbal International.
"There was interest from other clubs in the Premier League, but Ola was the best feeling in Swansea City. Last season, Swansea had tried to recruit him, but that was at the last moment. The club is Ola then continue to follow him in the hope ever to capture. That moment is now very close. "
John made three seasons ago switched to the Portuguese Benfica which took him to a sloppy 9.5 million euros from FC Twente. Benfica, he had an excellent start, but he got the last two years less and less playing time. He was in the year 2013/14 on loan to the German Hamburger SV, while last season he was used mainly as a substitute.
Because the contract of left winger expires in 2017 and coach Jorge Jesus stays on, it was clear that the future of John was no longer in Lisbon. | | | |

Pacey player but Hamburg fans didn't seem to rate him last season.. but then they were struggling in general.
General consensus from Benfica fans is that he's a bit lazy.
Think he's worth a punt though! |  | | |

Fits the "talented but carrying baggage" profile. |  |

Had a big reputation a few years ago, so definitely a good signing if this is true. Like a few others, (Routs, JJS), a player with great potential who has yet to find his club.
Perhaps Dyer is on his way then? |  | | |

Doesn't he always play on the other side to Dyer though?
Maybe falls into the category of the 'third striker/ wide player' instead of Luc whatever his name is. Instead of Emnes perhaps? |  | | |

Yes - no idea of what he's like though. Remember his brother playing for Fulham. Flashes of brilliance punctuating quite a lot of mediocrity if my memory serves. Scored quite a lot of goals though. | | | |

I've never heard of him but surprised we're giving a 5 yr deal to someone described as "carrying baggage", who can't get into his current side and was described as "lazy". We don't even dish out 5yr deals to people who are none of these. | | | |

Yes, maybe an upgrade on Emnes instead of Dyer.
Agree with Tommy, the perfect player type for us, there wont be much chance of him being lazy with the Swans, so its up to the player if he wants to realise his potential.
As I say, great potential. | | | |

yep.
I guess though he's only 23, was sold for 12m Euros when he was only 20,and has in the past been linked with Man Utd etc.
If we think we could resurrect him, then on a 5 year deal (or even 4 years) he could be worth a fortune I suppose.
We've moved to slightly longer contracts recently. A lot have been 4 years whereas we always used to do 3 years. | | | |

He's a winger so he'll be hit and miss and injured a fair bit. Hope he has a good first few games so that he doesn't get the Wilf/Bafe treatment. |  |

So, here's how it is: I think he's very talented but I do hope he leaves our club, because he really hasn't improved much since we bought him. I don't know if he's lazy, but watching him on the pitch, sometimes it looks like he's missing some fire, some f-ing attitude.
But he's a good player, he'll do way better than Oliveira did. | | | |

Not sure why we keep chasing after left wings (Ayew and John) when we only need one for the right side. |  |
