Given Lennon realistically won't form part of the long term plans there's more value in having Dowell on the bench for a few minutes here and there to allow the manager to better assess him when the opportunity arises.
Don't necessarily have to buy 'backup' - Bony would have provided an option to play two up front or, God forbid, someone to challenge Lukaku so he doesn't feel guaranteed a place. Or so if he does his hamstring, the best option isn't Kone or Enner sodding Valencia.
Last three played approximately 10-12 games between them last season, they are more than adequately replaced by Davies, Dowell, Pennington etc. Goalkeeper is an obvious area for strengthening. And we will.
Is the suggestion not that he has a release clause of around £17m? Him being willing to join is another issue entirely, although financially I'm sure we could make it enticing.
Would rather have Mirallas there all day long. And even if we were looking for an option there, Townsend should be a mile down the list. A classic example of media driven over-hyped Spurs player. We could do better for cheaper elsewhere.
Although younger Galloway looks the better of the two to me, Browning looks clumsy (all over the place in the mini derby) - don't see him being an answer long term.
To paint the stands? Neither good enough, the former additionally a head case. Their one stand out player has been Ki but I'd assume if Swansea have half a brain they will want him back for next season.
