Seven into one just doesn’t go... how the Swansea glove men have fared

SWANSEA City kicked off their summer transfer business by wrapping up a Bosman deal for Heerenveen goalkeeper Erwin Mulder, with a handful of other new faces expected in the Liberty Stadium arrivals lounge in the not-too-distant future.

Dutch keeper Mulder, 28, is the eighth stopper the Swans have signed in just seven summers preparing for a forthcoming Premier League campaign, and it is fair to say they have been a mixed bag.

Here, we look at the (in some cases not so) magnificent seven, who have preceded him, and assess whether he is more likely to be a Lukasz Fabianski than a Jose Moreira. Michel Vorm When Dorus de Vries decided he would not sign a new contract at the Liberty and took up a free transfer to Wolves, the Swans and manager Brendan Rodgers had to move quickly to secure a new number one.

‘Penalty killer’Vorm was the man they wanted and he soon completed his move from FC Utrecht for £1.5million. He wasted no time in making an impact, saving a penalty as Swansea secured their first Premier League point against Wigan, while his distribution skills had Rodgers purring.

Vorm did have his issues when it came to dealing with set-pieces, but he was a superb shot-stopper and kept 13 clean sheets in his first season in England.

Proved a real fan favourite before moving to Tottenham as part of the Gylfi Sigurdsson/Ben Davies deal. Gerhard Tremmel The veteran German initially came to Swansea on trial, but quickly made an impression and he joined on a free transfer just before the end of the 2011 summer transfer window.

Had to bide his time as Vorm nailed own the first-choice role , with cup competitions providing what little game time he had.

However, an injury to Vorm the following season saw Tremmel get an extended run in the side, and helped secure impressive results against the likes of Liverpool, Newcastle and Chelsea.

Vorm regained his place once fit, but Tremmel played throughout the successful League Cup campaign and had another spell in the side during the 2013-14 campaign.

However, he began to fall down the pecking order following Lukasz Fabianski’s arrival. He was released in 2015, but later agreed a new two-year deal to return, before being let go again this summer. Jose Moreira There was a buzz of excitement when the former Benfica keeper pitched up in South Wales, but such excitement barely survived Moreira’s opening pre-season appearances.

His handling failed to impress and his distribution also suffered. He would end up behind Vorm and Tremmel in the pecking order and was released following the end of the club’s maiden Premier League campaign. Lukasz Fabianski The Poland international’s arrival on a free transfer paved the way for Vorm’s exit and, having spent more time than he would have liked warming the Arsenal bench, Fabianski quickly set about ensuring he was one of the first names on Garry Monk’s team sheet.

Had an outstanding debut campaign,
