How good are Swansea?

The press seem to always big up Swansea and their chances for a European place, but I am wondering how good they really are. Against us at home last season, we should have beaten them but let in a soft goal for a 1-1 draw, and the away game was supposedly a little dire and a 0-0 draw but quite evenly balanced. They've reinforced with £20m of signings, with the biggest being Bony, Shelvey and Amat. So they should be stronger than last year, provided they can keep Michu and Williams. Are they a very good side? Are they much better than us? The odds being offered are a little strange - we seem to be shorter to finish higher, but longer to get relegated than them.
