Carlos on transfers: "The boat is on the sea and the bait is on the hook. I am not on the boat, I am on the beach watching. They are players I want; they have to be the players a manager wants.”

Does this indicate that he is not prepared to take Huw's suggestions?

About time someone publicly come out and stood up to big nose.
 
We are a joke and there is only one person we can trust to at least try to keep us in the premiership and that is Carvo, The rest you can forget about there is nobody showing the slightest bit of interest or concern......The chances of Carvo keeping us in the premiership is so slim that it's not worth bothering about but we dont have any option and when you think We have Billionaires and lots of Millionaires in abundance as owners Then it's obvious football and where we play is of no interest to them.......

99% correct Dai. I'm saving the 1% for Carlos to keep us up.
 
I'm getting cheesed off but not surprised about the transfer situation (or lack of) but Carvahal is keeping me entertained.

"When asked about transfer news at his press conference ahead of Saturday’s trip to Newcastle, Carvalhal said:

“The boat is on the sea, but the fish didn’t bite the hook so far.
“When the boat is on the sea, it depends if there is a storm, if the fish are sleeping or not and if they really want to come to the boat or not.

“We are in the process, but I don’t know yet what will happen.”

When asked whether any deals could be an imminent, Carvalhal added with a smile: “I am not on the boat! I am on the beach, so I can’t see the fish.

“We will try to bring in the best quality players possible. I don’t want to talk about how many, but the most important thing is to bring in quality players who can help the players we already have here.

“They are doing so well, with good attitude and commitment, but they need help, with some quality players who can help us go up a level."

Per the BBC

"Swansea City manager Carlos Carvalhal remains confident of improving his squad before the transfer window shuts.

Carvalhal was targeting three new signings and says that is still a realistic prospect with only six days remaining until the end of the window.

"I think it is the opposite," he said, when asked if Swansea's hopes of making signings were dwindling.

"It is more likely that we bring in players in the last few days of the window than it is in the first days."

Carvalhal, who has lost just one of his first six matches as Swansea boss, says players who would not have fancied joining the club earlier in the month are now more likely options.

"The clubs, the players, at the start of the window they want to all go to big clubs, not in the relegation positions and so on," he continued.

"But in the last days that situation can shift, people get nervous and it is in this moment that I think our club and other clubs can bring in really good players.

"But if you are asking me whether we still want the players? We want of course. But the reality of the market is completely different."

Swansea had a bid for their former striker, Andre Ayew, rejected earlier this week and have also been linked with a move for Atletico Madrid winger Nicolas Gaitan.

The club are also thought to be keen on FC Augsburg's Ghanaian defender Daniel Opare."
