Swans trial US college basketballer, Alex Starling.

Told me he would see me at pre season at lakeside. twitter last week.

Hang on, I thought he had dropped out. Didn't I read that somewhere, that he had changed his mind and was no longer in the mix? Anyone?

Poor scoops there Primmy. Might have to sack your insider.

[Primmy]

Right, Sydney Swans Media, you are sacked.

I used to follow Starling's tweets but they became too ummm fluffy (?) for my nerves.

[BillyRayCypress]

Nothing more annoying than a tweeting Starling

[Nico]

Sounds like he is a bird to do the pre season.

So which paper will have the "Starling takes flight" headline after his first training session?

I hope he is not bunking in with Bird.

Or perhaps "A Starling among the Swans."

Looks like we must have exhausted all the Lamb jokes???

I'm glad we didn't recruit Swallow.

With all the bad puns doing the rounds I think the mods are eternally grateful we never had Brad Dick on our list.

I hear he's very fast. Any chance he will be called JettStarLing, and will this cause disharmony with the club?

I looked at his Twitter page and he seems to be seriously religious. Will probably become Crouchie's favourite player, especially now that Seaby is gone.

I'm still a bit stiff about that. Dean was already more than enough to fill up thread space during the off season.

I wonder if he and Israel tweet each other or would that be a Hail Mary tweet.

Oh dear! You are making me blush!

With all these bad puns, it's going to be a looooong off season.
