'Swansea need to strengthen'
Swansea have got a lot of hard work now, [Swansea manager] Paul Clement has got to have two or three players in the pipeline ready to go.
"They've got the money now, but they have to use it wisely.
Joe Allen is talent but his price has gone up about £10m after his performances for Stoke last season.
They need to strengthen up top because you don't know what Fernando Llorente is going to be doing. They need players in two or three different positions."

Will Gylfi Sigurdsson complete his move to Everton later?
Everton have agreed a club-record £45m deal to take the Swansea midfielder to Goodison Park.
"In my personal opinion, I think Sigurdsson is irreplaceable," former Swans and Wales striker Ian Walsh tells BBC Radio Wales Sport.
"To lose that creativity, there isn't a player like that at Swansea at the moment."
Arsene Wenger says he would be in favour of the summer transfer window closing early.
The current window, in line with many other European leagues, closes on 31 August - almost three weeks after the start of the Premier League campaign.
Both the Premier League and EFL will discuss potential changes next month.
"I would support it," said Wenger when asked about the possibility of the window closing early. "It's better for the season, for our psychological comfort as a manager."
Rafael Benitez has been speaking about new signing Joselu from Stoke City on a three-year contract for a reported £5m.
"We have known Joselu since his days at the Real Madrid academy, and we know that he has the potential to do well for us," says Benitez.
"We think if we can exploit his full potential he will be a good signing for us. He knows and accepts the challenge we have given him."
More on Stoke City signing former Real Madrid forward Jese Rodriguez on a season-long loan from Paris-St Germain.
The 24-year-old joined Real at the age of 14 and was part of their Champions League-winning squads in 2014 and 2016.
He joined PSG last August for £21m on a five-year deal, but scored just twice in 14 appearances before he was loaned to Spanish club Las Palmas in January for the rest of the season.
"Jese was a man in demand when PSG made it clear they would allow him to leave on loan and we’re delighted he has chosen to join us," says Stoke chief executive Tony Scholes.
"He hasn’t had the happiest of periods in his career in Paris but he’s still only a young man and is hungry to make a big impression in the Premier League."
