Swansea’s signing of Marvin Emnes exemplifies perfectly the return of “the Swansea Way” that Garry Monk talked about. Emnes might not have set the world on fire since he returned back to Middlesborough, post-his earlier Swansea playing spell, but the Swansea management team obviously remembered his talents and knew that they would still work here.
Marvin Emnes has exceptionally quick feet, and excellent touch – its almost as if the ball sticks to his feet sometimes – he simply epitomizes “the Swansea Way”.
He’s not particularly big, not really fast enough to play out wide at the top level, but then most of the Spanish international team aren’t and they sure remain successful. Marvin Emnes ideally slots into the attacking midfield slot, just behind Wilfried Bony. Yes we have lots of other lads who can also play there, but as with Hernandez they can also play elsewhere in the team.
I see Marvin Emnes playing a crucial role in our battle for survival this season. His graceful passing, elegant style and eye for a goal will likely prove an invaluable resorce. Good luck Marvin, I hope you stay long term this time.

Crikey, Swans are easily pleased. Marv could not fight his way out of a paper bag. Pretty boy and fancy stuff but very little end product. Please keep him – never been good enough to play for the Boro. A real lightweight.
