The only one that crap emirates from is you, you'd give Forrest Gump a run for money, get it into your very thick head, that this boardroom only has one interest, and it is not football. They couldn't even offload Bony for free, Bony came out and stated he'd like to stay, only to wind up the boardroom, whom he knew where offering him for free to all and sundry, FACT.

According to Fotomac, Swansea City have offered Wilfried Bony to Fenerbahce during the negotiations for Andre Ayew. It’s claimed during the transfer talks over Ayew, Swansea City officials also proposed a loan deal for Bony to Fenerbahce, but the Istanbul club rejected a chance to sign the Ivorian. Fotomac say Fenerbahce sporting director Damien Comolli said no to Swansea Citys offer because of Bony’s high wages, despite the Championship side offering him on loan for free.

Personally I hope Bony stays and bleeds the buggers!..............<ok>

It’s good that there are opposite views to the majority on here to help debate.
Myself, I am one of the worried ones. Since our players feeble showing in the catastrophic loss in the winner takes all match against Southampton it has been a long and painful summer for Swans fans.
We’ve seen our squad dismantled whilst fellow relegation strugglers Stoke and WBA boost theirs. In my opinion the first season after relegation is the best opportunity to bounce back, after that it gets harder and harder as the parachute payments dwindle
We have a young inexperienced (in the EPL) manager who has had little or no time to get a team together, whilst all the experienced players that are any good are leaving as fast as they can, seeing no ambition by the club for a promotion push.
The players that are left are either injured or ones that nobody wants.
We’ve had a pretty disastrous pre season culminating in that heavy defeat yesterday. Results do not matter in these matches some say. Maybe, but it’s certainly not good for moral with only a week before the first league game.
During the next week it’s likely that more players will leave, so how can the manager put together a winning team. With quality incomings unlikely he’s got an almost impossible task.

I think most of us see it as you have stated, sad but we look destined to field a joke of a team again, for another season. The boardroom is only interested in profit, and nothing else, and until these Yanks are gone, we will continue to rot...........<ok>

Graham Potter admits Swansea City are in need of new recruits as they get set for the new Championship season - (from the Swans website)

The Swans kick off their second-tier campaign at Sheffield United in eight days’ time.

And Potter feels his squad must be bolstered before the transfer window closes next month.

The only fresh faces who have been on this week’s pre-season trip to Germany and Austria are Joel Asoro and Yan Dhanda.

Now Potter is aiming to add further fresh blood to the Liberty playing staff as the Swans prepare for battle in the Championship.

“We hope to do business. That’s clear and that’s something we want to do,” he said.

“The players need support from us to try to help them play better and enjoy their football.

“If we can add bodies to the group, I think that’s what everybody would like to see. That’s a process that’s ongoing and we are doing our best.”

Potter was speaking after the Swans’ final pre-season friendly ended in a 3-0 defeat to SC Freiburg.

After victories on home soil against Yeovil and Newport, the Swans kicked off their pre-season tour of Germany and Austria by drawing 60-minute games against Genoa and Magdeburg, before losing penalty shootouts after both matches.

They were then beaten 2-1 by Eibar before the Freiburg loss.

Potter added: “I think it’s clear we need to help the players and support the players and we also need to keep working.

“It was never going to be a case of clicking our fingers and everything would be fixed.

“We have to work and improve and help the guys. The effort is there, but it’s the final step in terms of responsibility, being a bit more positive and proactive, and we need to help them with that.

“The players have conducted themselves really well all week. But it’s disappointing to finish with a defeat, even against a good Bundesliga team.”

The team needs your support and not the rubbish you not me are writing on here....<doh> If you cant support them then Fcuk off and follow someone else....What are you expecting after being relegated ffs......We all wanted a clear out and that is exactly what is happening and if you now say you did not want a clear out i will put all your posts on here and embarrass you...And For the record i wanted to keep every single one of our top players that was under contract but that has not happened and i understand why. I still think it was wrong but like us all we have no control......The players we have have given some good football but as i have said in previous posts we need a couple of quality strikers because without them we wont score many goals.....Slagging off individual players does not do the team any favours and as we are not the final article that is totally unfair.......There has been loads of positives with some of the players in every game we have played and i have faith in Potts,Reed and Curtis that they are working hard towards our 1st team with hopefully a quality or two strikers will join before the window closes. I dont mind a couple of loan strikers if we have to go down that road.....The players and Potts need your support and and lets see how they do in the first 4 or 5 games before we condemn them as relegation candidates.....

Are you going to be supporting them from your car in Tenby, clapping the radio, shouting "C'mon Potts!" <laugh>
