    Was down my watering hole the Arthur this afternoon, (after my 7km power walk, from Oxwich to Three Cliffs and back, I can only walk these days <laugh>) and when talking all thing Swans with a few locals and bar staff, a Tourist came up to me, (Swamped at the minute) and said he was a Watford supporter, and heard me talking about the Swans, he said that the Swans were his second team, and he hoped we would not go down, he also stated that it all seemed to go wrong, from Monks sacking? thought we should have stuck with Monk? I laughed, but music to Dai's ears no doubt!..................<laugh>

    Skank bastard , thats all to be said

    Meanwhile, vice-chairman Leigh Dineen added: “After the reaction the film received when we linked-up live to Portland on the west coast, I cannot wait for sports fans in New York and Washington to see the film.
    “It is a true story that really does capture people’s imagination.
    “This really will be a great opportunity for American fans to see Swansea City’s rags-to-riches story on the big screen.”

    Should never have signed him. Piss poor transfer to begin with and now leaves with a fat bank balance for doing sod all.

    Disappointed that we are keeping Clement, was hoping we would go back to our roots once in the Championship, and rebuild our passing game, going to be interesting how Clement builds for our return, though I don't think he will last one season in the championship............<ok>

    I thought he'd got us playing a nice passing game these last two games tbh.

    Happy to give him a year or so to get settled. Good lord we need the stability!

    Chances are he will accumulate 23-24 points for a half season in the Premier League which is very acceptable. It was the first half of the season which did the damage. He could do very well for us in the Championship if it comes to that. And we desperately need some managerial continuity.

    Although were not " Out of the Woods " yet Phil , you may wanna prepare a title change to " Premier League Rebuild thread " just in case .
    Probable outs :
    1 : Sigurdsson : 26 million ( Everton )
    2 : Bartley : 6 million ( Leeds )
    3 : Gomis : 8 million ( Marselle )
    4 : Llorente 10 million ( Chelsea )
    50 million from sales .
    In's :
    1 New right back ( 7 million )
    2 New CB ( 12 million )
    3 : New DM ( 8 million )
    4 New winger ( 8 million )
    5 New striker ( 15 million )
    I don't think Clement will replace Siggy and will install Fer in the attacking midfielder role . I think Clement knew Siggy would go in the summer when he first arrived and is the #1 reason for playing Fer in the middle and using Siggy on the wing . Fer will never be the player Siggy is , but brings a different set of pluses the to attacking midfielder
    : Aerial prowness , strength and a very good passing ability .
    I'm not sold on Mawson and is why I wish to spend on a new CB , Mawson has the " Bartley " ability to lose a game by a single catastrophic play .

    Until we know our fate we won't know the ins and outs. I think you can add Amat to the outs. I disagree with you totally on Mawson much better than Bartley and will only improve. No matter what we will need a right back and defensive midfielder I still hope that players like James will step up so saving us having to sign a winger. If we have some who can be squad players it means we can spend more to increase the quality in the areas we need.
