    I agree but many consider him ready for England!
    (The same ones who got Shelvey his cap.)

    I can't help but think if Clement had it all to do over again , he may not be so quick to " Au Revoir " Curtis , Curtis might have been able to fill in the blanks about the team in general with some of the intangibles that it took time for Clement to figure out .

    Oestersunds FK doing well in the Europa Cup.

    Graham Potter at Oestersunds FK is a manager I've been impressed with for a while especially given his achievements on a 'nothing' budget.
    And, I'm surprised we didn't see his name mentioned last season given our connections with the club.

    Clement is doing what he can with what he's got. I said after the yanks sucked us dry of talent during the transfer window that the best we can hope for is survival. As my 87 yo Swans fanatic if a mother says "you cant make a feast from fodder" and lets face it, after the yanks stripped us to the bone, fodder is all clement has got to work with.

    The one thing that grates though is Clements insistence on playing the useless Sanchez. If he selects that clumsy kid over Clucas and or Ki this weekend then I will have to question Clements his intentions. Is Clement more interested in developing kids from other clubs into becoming average players or is he interested into developing our own.

    He's a poacher not a creater of goals which is fine for your Club who have the players who can create the chances, we on the other hand are limited in creating chances so we may not see the best of him but he's impressed me so far and although still raw he has what it takes to become a prolific scorer but maybe not for us

    Why is he here in the first place ? A tidy young player but no way good enough for Chelsea's first team yet. Cant tackle and not very good running with the ball but as said a poacher. Give few years and he should develop into a great player.....His attitude you cant fault as he is keen as mustard and has settled in with his team mates and the fans love him.......I won't slate him off as he is doing a job but i do slate our club for having him here in the first place Doing the job for Chelsea in giving him premiership first team experience when we should be buying our own players who are good enough and giving them premiership experience..... Tammy has a bright future ahead of him...

    I think he's not getting anywhere near what could be achieved with our squad. Just an opinion.
    We have spent around £60 million since he arrived. Guidolin was heavily ctiticised for accepting the player being brought in. Clement said he would be central to who comes and goes so we have to assume he approves of this squad. (I think our transfers have been awful and incomplete.)
    As for Sanches ... part of the deal is he plays and often, he is also purely a Clement choice to prove he has contacts.

    As for Clucas!!! What the **** were we thinking? No better than Fulton.

    Give me Curtis over the last 3 managers including Clement any day of the week and he is not the standard required. This is how far we have dropped......The yanks and Jenkins are ruining or i should say running down the club and for what reason... ..?.....I dread to make a guess.....

    Okay so far I suppose, not easy to assess him with the garbage service he gets week in week out, still trying to find his way at this level tool.............<ok>

    Ronald Koeman anybody?

    I'd actually fancy us to stay up under him.

    Strange thing - I hear Huw is sick of them as well....

    Seems they didn't do their Due Diligence on the Yanks ....... probably all they could see were the $$$$ signs.....

    Where has that come from?
    Given their involvement (and their backers' involvement) in sport worldwide due diligence shouldn't have thrown up a problem.

    Hi Bob - perhaps I should have used the word "sufficient" with due diligence.
