Boogie Nights

Paul Anderson opting for Nottingham Forest for a season long loan from Liverpool last summer, having turned down the Swansea City side that he had represented during their promotion year the previous season was a surprise. Perhaps he was influenced by the Bright Lights-Big City feelings once exhibited by Brian Roy? The winger has now followed this up by opting for the same choice this year. All this is another setback for beleaguered Swans’ boss Paulo Sousa. Anderson really impressed me last season, a campaign ravaged by injuries — but is it sound policy to sign players who have been prominent in a mediocre year? Mind you, he’s directed some good movies.
