Good luck for the future Joe , you didn't leave yourself or the Club down .Still not fussed on Spurs though

I'm not fussed on Spurs either. They have always been Arsenal's poor neighbours. When they employed the ' odious one ', I smiled, and thought, they were made for each other.

The Arsenal have a lot more history than Spurs.

Yes, good luck Joe. Hope it goes well for you. He may well be marking his close friend Ollie McBurnie in the not too distant future. That should be an interesting encounter.

My late Dad - who played a number of games for the Swans reserves when Billy McCandless was Manager - always had a soft spot for Spurs: never really understood why....

I always preferred the Arsenal - but there’s only one team I follow <cheers>

Would that have been around the time Cliff Jones and Terry Medwin signed for Spurs ? Late 1950's.

In fairness the Spurs had a great side in the early '60's.

Hi Vetch. My Dad played his first game for the Reserves at 17 in 1949. I’ve still got the letter sent to/for him by Billy McCandless instructing him to arrive no later than 5pm for a 5.30pm kick off and that he had told the Reserves Manager that my Dad was playing !
 
Swansea City has completed the signing of Ryan Manning from QPR for an undisclosed fee, subject to international clearance.

Manning, 24, joins the Swans after nearly six years at the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium, and will bolster head coach Steve Cooper’s wing-back and midfield options.

He has signed a three-year contract and will wear the number three shirt.

The Republic of Ireland Under-21 international started his career in his homeland, firstly with Mervue United before moving on to Galway United.

His form in helping them reach the Irish top-flight attracted the interest of a number of English clubs, and he joined QPR in January 2015.
 
Disappointed to lose Joe, especially at that transfer fee, but overall I feel we are much stronger than we were at the start of the season
In fairness, we have kept Ayew and Grimes as well as adding 4 (seemingly) decent players.

Joe’s departure has ‘allowed’ us to do the above - if we could sign an unattached striker (like Borini ?) I think we’d have a decent squad to challenge for automatic promotion.....

Famous last bloody words ....
