With his loss of goals we’ll be battling against relegation rather than fighting for promotion. The loss of prize money plus the cost of a mediocre replacement will wipe out the £20m reported anyway. I can’t see the benefit but what do I know
Sporting Life claims we’ve agreed to sell... “We understand Swansea City have accepted an improved offer from Premier League Sheffield United for striker Oliver McBurnie #twitterblades#swans”
Lots of other sites reporting it now. **** https://www.skysports.com/football/...eld-united-agree-20m-deal-for-swansea-striker Looks like we're bring a winger in though https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/49176604
BBC have said it's a done deal, so he's gone for sure. Happy to get £20m for him as I think he's nowhere near that value. Dan James is a much bigger loss in my view. However, we have lost our manager and the 2 people who created/scored lots of our goals last season. Really need someone to step up now.
It should be the chance for Borja to make a name for himself. Unfortunately, if he does, he’ll be gone in January. At the minute I feel we’re just surviving, rather than developing, window by window.
After the wasteful last few years of Huw’s profligate spending, and (Hedge Fund) owners who don’t want to invest, survival & viability are the names of the game
We haven't kicked a ball in anger yet and there's some who've given up and others who are cock sure they're the bees knees ( no one from this site) , time will tell who'll be right but for me the season starts next week and imo it'll be a good one for us , maybe not league winners but progression in the right direction
I was quite positive about this season, even though there were minimal additions to the squad. But I worry now where our goals are now going to come from, maybe we will bring in another striker and solve that issue as I think we will have to score 2 to win a game as we again look poor at set pieces defensively. still think we have enough to stay in the league though.
I still am , its the anticipation which makes it all worth while , without it what's the point., The Club have brought in some decent backroom staff, why if they're not to be utilised remember its the yanks who must have ok'd their employment . There still 8 days of the window open and to be honest 20 million for Ollie was price we couldn't turn down and if that's enough to clear the "black hole and means the yanks jog off quicker then so be it , a price worth paying imo
Friend phoned me yesterday to say Oli wanted to go and you cant blame him when he is offered more wages and premiership football...The thing that is so annoying is we tend to sell a player that we need on the last few days before the season starts...I dont think the club is playing fair with all the millions the club has made since the end of last season that they have not made at least £10m available to strengthen.....I can see the club being relegated again this season. There is no positives that the club have shown with any sort of strengthening at all...
Big gamble selling our only goal scorer, yes Baston has pedigree, but his goals have been poor these last few seasons in Spain, I hope that he can turn his game around, he should be able to do it in the Championship, still think we need another striker. Soon as I saw Baston back at the club training and playing in pre-season, I new that Mcburnie was gone, season could go either way, though I am still positive.........
Is it any wonder, I've been married to a blond for 40 years, it's bound to have an effect............
Any idea why we've signed an under 21 goalkeeper from Newcastle on loan ? https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footbal...west_wales&link_location=live-reporting-story
