Transfer Rumours Summer 2021 Squad - Rumours, Signings and Departures

Connor and Grimes could be sold this Summer to generate cash and ‘balance the books’

 

Swansea City defender Connor Roberts will undergo surgery on a groin injury suffered while on international duty with Wales.

Roberts is expected to be out of action until the end of September after the operation, meaning he is set to miss the start of the 2021-22 season.

 

That could work in our favour... until the January transfer window.

 

They’ll sell Cabango instead ….

 

You have such a low opinion of our glorious leaders

 

Not really - it’s needs must.

They will need to sell someone - the parachute payments have lapsed.

 

And it’s now one full month since our esteemed manager has said a word about anything...long holiday....

 

Change of shirt crest for this season - retro look.

 

Several ex Swans U23's on the move. Gwion Edwards to Wigan, David Cornell to Peterborough, Courtney Baker-Richardson to Newport, Liam Shephard to Salford City and Josh Sheehan to Bolton. Unfortunately not much happening here.

 

I guess there will be some signings made now that we know that our Manager / Head Coach is not wanted elsewhere ….

 

We have two games on Sky in August one is an 8pm Saturday kick off

 

Oli and Brewster - bound to bloody score

 

We need to get a move on with sorting out the squad - 6 of the side that started the Play-Off Final won’t be available to select at the start of next season:

Woodman, Hourihane & Guehi have returned to their clubs

Ayew’s contract has ended and he has left.

Roberts is injured

Fulton is suspended

 

Get those boots out Taff

 

Patrick screw-in studs

 

Swansea City has completed the signing of Dutch striker Joel Piroe from PSV Eindhoven for an undisclosed fee, subject to international clearance.

The 21-year-old becomes Swansea’s second acquisition of the summer transfer window, with the club having already added Wigan striker Kyle Joseph to the first-team squad.

Holland Under-20 international Piroe joined PSV’s academy from Feyenoord in 2014 and has gained regular experience in the Eredivisie over the last two campaigns.

He spent the 2019-20 season on loan with Sparta Rotterdam, scoring two goals in 18 appearances; having netted 11 goals in 29 appearances for Jong PSV in the Eerste Division the previous campaign.

Piroe made 12 first-team appearances for PSV last term, scoring three goals, including a brace in a Europa League win over Omonia Nicosia.

He has been capped by his country at under-15, under-16, under-18, under-19 and under-20 level.

Piroe will meet up with his new team-mates following their pre-season camp in Pennyhill Park next week, with the Dutchman following Covid-19 guidelines by spending a period in isolation ahead of his arrival in Swansea.

 

So did Coops talk to him and persuade him to come with his vision for the coming season or is it a case of moving up a level in his career and putting himself in the shop window?

 

I’d guess the latter
