Swansea City coach, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alan-c4244 Curtis, was all praise for summer acquisition, Michu, for making an instant impact at the Liberty Stadium, and termed his deal as ‘fantastic piece of business’ by the club.
The Spanish International has so far been one of the star performers in the Premier League, having already bagged four goals – joint highest in the competition alongside Manchester United’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robin-van-Persie-c31380.
What is even more encouraging for the south http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wales-c3041 outfit is the fact that they claimed the midfielder’s signature at the minimal expense of the club’s exchequer.
The Swans are reported to have signed him from Rayo Vallecano for an economical 2 million pounds transfer fee.
After losing out the services of Gylfi Sigurdsson and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Scott-Sinclair-c32675 to the top flight teams this summer, questions were being raised over the Swans potential to emulate their last season’s achievements all over again.
However, under the management of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Michael-c25261 Laudrup, the club seems to have stemmed the tide, having bagged seven points out of their first three games.
Curtis was of the opinion that his side’s current position had a lot to do with the performance of the 26-year old. He praised Laudrup for doing a wonderful business in signing the midfielder for a mediocre amount, and was thoroughly impressed with what
he has seen so far from him.
“We are not the biggest team in the league, but Michu is a 6ft-plus boy who is terrific in the air. He is a typical Spanish boy in that he is technically very good, but he also has a bit of an edge about his game. He has been terrific for us so far,” he
told the reporters.
Michu fired a brace at the Loftus Road Stadium on his EPL debut, and backed it up with another scalp against West Ham United. On Saturday, he scored his team’s second goal, to help them eke out a draw against Sunderland.
Meanwhile, the Swans coach also visited the hospital to inquire about Neil Taylor’s injury, and said that his absence was a big setback for the team.
“It's a huge blow for Neil because he has been fantastic since he came to the club.”
