Oli McBurnie to Swansea City: Rival interest, stumbling block and admission on future
Oli McBurnie to Swansea City: Rival interest, stumbling block and admission on future The striker is set to be on the move this summer, but a return to Swansea may not be straightforward PAMPLONA, SPAIN - SEPTEMBER 21: Oli Mcburnie of UD Las Palmas reacts during the LaLiga match between CA Osasuna and UD Las Palmas at Estadio El Sadar on September 21, 2024 in Pamplona, Spain. (Photo by Juan Manuel) (Image: Juan Manuel) The transfer window hasn't even opened yet, but there's a palpable sense of excitement around Swansea City heading into the summer. Having already snapped up two new faces already, director of football Richard Montague and the club's new look recruitment team may well take their plans up a notch over the coming weeks, although judging by the rumblings on social media, it's crystal clear who fans would like to see come through the door. Neither Luka Modric nor Ben Davies, sadly, are likely to fulfil the admittedly ambitious wishes of the Jack Army. Modric is reportedly being eyed up by the MLS, while there are already suggestions that Davies could be a target for teams in Saudi Arabia.

News of interest in Oli McBurnie has also seemingly captured the imagination, presumably because there seems to be at least the flicker of a chance that it could actually happen. Article continues below Swansea have, it's understood, placed the striker's name on a list of potential targets for this window, but a lot will still need to happen if a move is to come to fruition. Following their relegation from La Liga, Las Palmas have released the 28-year-old due to clause in his contract, and that clearly pushes him further towards the sort of basket Swansea might be operating in this summer. But they surely won't be the only ones to have been alerted to his availability. Indeed, reports elsewhere claim Hull City have already expressed an interest, while there are also believed to be admirers from elsewhere in Spain. For what it's worth, McBurnie himself is understood to be open to a return to the UK as evidenced by recent comments made in the wake of his release. "Obviously, we didn't reach our goal this year and we didn't manage to stay up, so my contract has gone from three years to being up again, so I'm a free agent," he told BBC Radio Sheffield's Football Heaven this week. 'Then next week, I'll head back home for the summer and have a couple of weeks with the family. It's been lovely being out here but, at the same time, it's obviously hard being away from the family so much. I'll have a talk about it with my missus and see what we want to do.' It seems there may well be some clarity over his next move within the next couple of weeks. Whether Swansea are still in the hunt by then remains to be seen.

Article continues below But it's that point that could prove the big sticking point. McBurnie's wage demands, it's claimed, could well be beyond what Swansea are able to offer, and indeed some other Championship clubs. In any case, the Swans need to actually put a proposal down for it to be considered, and sources have indicated to WalesOnline that interest from SA1 hasn't morphed into a concrete approach at this stage. If that's to change, Swansea may well have to get creative.

FBI-trained expert explains which body part is the 'most honest' when it comes to lying
Body language is a powerful tool that can provide a wealth of information about a person's thoughts, feelings, and intentions - but some parts of the body are more honest than others, according to an FBI-trained expert. Non-verbal communication is a powerful, frequently underestimated aspect of human interaction. Even when our words are silent, our bodies continuously give away hints through subtle gestures, micro-expressions, and unconscious movements. These involuntary signals can often say more than what we express aloud, says an FBI-trained expert. However, mastering the skill of interpreting these silent cues is no mean feat. It demands years of training, observation, and practice. Yet, with an increasing number of experts sharing their knowledge through books and social media, the public is becoming more conscious of the messages our bodies transmit without us realising. One of the leading figures in this field is Juan Manuel García López, also known as 'Pincho'. Based in Spain and trained by the FBI, Juan Manuel has spent years in the Central Operational Unit (UCO) and has established himself as a top authority on non-verbal communication, reports the Mirror US. With over 4 million followers on TikTok, his fascinating videos simplify body language into practical insights that resonate with viewers globally. In a chat with La Vanguardia, Juan Manuel delved into the nuances of non-verbal communication, asserting that even in silence, we convey messages. "We are always transmitting messages, consciously or unconsciously. A look, a blink, a posture-these all mean something," he said. "When someone stays completely still or overly rigid, it usually indicates fear or that they have something to hide. That's when you need to stir the situation a bit to provoke involuntary reactions that can reveal the truth." He believes these reactions are often physiological responses to emotions such as fear, happiness, or sorrow. "Blushing, dilated pupils, flaring nostrils-these are things we can't control and they immediately give us clues about what someone is feeling or what might happen next," he added.

Juan Manuel noted that while it's possible to master certain body language cues through training, skilled emotional manipulators may feign natural responses to deceive others. "I can use my body language to trick your brain into thinking I feel something I don't. For instance, if I want you to like me, I'll send signals that suggest I like you, activating the principle of reciprocity," he explained. This highlights the importance of detecting discrepancies between verbal statements and physical expressions. He continued: "If I tell you I'm relaxed and happy with you, but my joints are tense and my posture is stiff, there's a clear contradiction. That tension suggests my body isn't aligned with what I'm saying." Juan Manuel contends that feet rank among the most truthful body parts for gauging someone's emotions. Since we seldom attempt to manage our foot movements, they can inadvertently reveal our genuine motives. He explained: "When we try to adjust our body language, we focus on standing straight, controlling our expressions, or limiting hand movements. But we forget our feet." Our feet are pivotal in betraying our feelings - they're often the first to respond when we're inclined to escape or confront a situation. Juan Manuel elaborates: "If I'm standing in front of you but my feet are pointed toward the door, it signals I want to leave whether it's out of fear, urgency, or disinterest. The reason may vary, but the intention is there. It's up to the observer to interpret why." In a world where what's said isn't always what's meant, learning to decode the body's silent language can be an invaluable skill, and thanks to experts like Juan Manuel García López, more people are beginning to understand what remains unspoken.
