Am I the only one (probably Yes) who thinks we need some new words for transfers, some go on and on for weeks or even years so it's hardly a "swoop". A "swoop" is a sudden sharp movement - Spurs "swoop for Damiao" for example.. Doesn't quite work for me.
Any suggestions ?
"Pounce" maybe ?
"Snatch" sounds good <wink>
Transfer SWOOPS !!!

"Pinched, Groomed. Snatched, Whisked"
That reads like the road to Weare and JPB.

Capoue was a swoop. We then left him in the nest for a week, before finishing the job.
Soldado was definitely landed. Like a fight with a big fish, which took a great effort to reel in.
