It's no secret that Swansea have struggled this season, and a summer of unsatisfying transfer business is one of the biggest reasons why. On Monday night, the Swans will play Stoke and face two former players who could have returned to the Liberty Stadium this off season. Joe Allen has emerged as an unlikely goal machine for Stoke, while Wilfried Bony -- the man everyone thought would be scoring the goals -- has yet to net for his new club.
Odds seem good that Bony will choose Monday night to open his account with Stoke. The striker has scored in both of his appearances against Swansea for his parent club, Manchester City, since the transfer.
