7th: Swansea
While they are not a one trick pony, one man has definitely stolen the show so far. Mich...ael Laudrup. The biggest team he'd managed prior were Getafe, the third Madrid team, and many wondered he'd be able to step up. He has, by the way. His attacking style of football, coupled with the signings he's made have turned Swansea into a team to be feared. As a side-note, Michu has to be regarded as one of the best transfer bargains of modern football, when you consider value for money. Swansea could just snatch European football this season, which would be an astonishing result for a side that only obtained promotion just a season ago. Praise must also go to Brendan Rodgers for building the foundation of this side.
