CHAMPIONSHIP REBUILD THREAD

The PL isn't the be all and end all of football and just in case you've missed it , there are no morals in the PL

 

Roof doesn't seem happy with the transfer speculation.

 

You little $hit. I saw your post then but before the video appeared I was expecting a tweet to load saying a bid had been accepted for Fer

 

I'm surprised Clement hasn't walked if he has no say/final decision in transfer targets etc. Didn't think he was the type to be a Jenkins puppet, as it were.

 

I see Carl Jenkinson has gone to Birmingham City on loan, seems he has found his level. We got away with one there.

 

I agree, there are no morals in the PL, however, the story has one. Pay'n'stay.

 

He won't walk , he'll wait until he's pushed like the rest and get a lovely pay off paid by the Club ( please note not out of the pockets of jerkins though) ,

 

HJ when he realised he had to spend money.....

Speaks volumes that we are now spending following Donovan's arrival last week.

Huw may be the Swans "face" of transfer activity but he doesn't seem to have the final say so any more ........

 

We are not much above that level if at all !!!!

 

Imo , Arias and Bony will be Swansea players and Llorente won't by the time the window closes.

 

Chelsea being linked with a move for Vardy, don't think they will go for both him and llorente.

In most papers, here is one.

Rhys.

 

Roque Mesa for £11 million is missing thougg

 

I wouldn't mind having the side on the left starting for us.

I've heard that too Taff, Clement, allegedly, thinks he's lazy in training. Shame if he goes, I rate him as a full back but admit he's not a wing-back which is the way Clement is going with a back three. This has to signal the arrival of another wing-back, Arias hopefully. Its the only way letting Kingsley go makes sense.

Phill, noooooooo

 

BBC Sport (1 hour ago)

Swansea City are interested in signing Santiago Arias from PSV Eindhoven, BBC Wales Sport understands.

The 25-year-old has won 32 caps for Colombia and joined the Dutch side from Sporting Lisbon in 2013.
Arias normally plays at right-back but can also slot into central defence and would add experience to Swansea manager Paul Clement's backline.

Another target, Hull City midfielder Sam Clucas, is expected at Liberty Stadium for a medical on Tuesday.
Swansea have agreed a fee for the 26-year-old but Clucas still needs to agree personal terms and pass the medical.

The Welsh club has funds to spend following the £45m sale of Iceland midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson to Premier League rivals Everton.

Swansea drew 0-0 at Southampton in their opening game but were then beaten 4-0 at home by Manchester United at the weekend.

I think all that info has been on the Swans forums for the last few days

 

Disgraceful, even with Mesa added and possibly Arias, Bony and Clucas.(Who imo should have been brought in at the start if the transfer window.)
Is there anything to show how much we have wasted on managerial and coaching merry-go-round since Laudrup was sacked?

 

I thought that we would have been trying to improve our team. I Know we will lose lots of good players, but looking at some who have moved on not necessarily to better things, we have gone massively backwards and where has the money gone.
