    chico is a must this season and could be made vice captain if the rumours are correct. I would have made leon myself but that's just my preference...

    I would have made Chico captain and given Ash a break so he can concentrate on his own game.

    "Typical" in what way? Asking you something relating to one of your posts? Is that being "typical"?

    What IS "typical" is your refusal to be prepared to back up,or even discuss rationally, statements you make.

    Reasonable blog.

    What surprises me is the cavalier way Monk has cast Pozuelo into the wilderness.
    Are we that flush that we can dispense with him so casually?
    I have heard several ex international players,now turned radio commentators,describe Pozuelo as a "very good player". But Monk feels differently. Mysterious.

    Poz has potential to be a good player, at present we have plenty of players who are better so no loss in selling him. I'd be delighted if we sold him and got Jonny Williams as a replacement.

    Sbulby's where have you heard that Pablo is going? BBC Radio Wales have confirmed that there are talks with Napoli over Michu but haven't heard or read anything regarding Pablo?

    Is it a case of new broom sweeps clean, a clash of personalities, Monk making a professional judgment or doesn't he have a ****ing clue? Take your pick Lib but time will tell won't it?

    It's not so very long ago that some on here were regularly waxing lyrical about Pozuelo,and his incisive goal scoring through balls. Now,because Monk says so,he seemingly has the plague. Difficult to respect such a dismissive attitude.

    I rate Poz potential, but that is all it is.
    Do you think we should keep a young kid who has done naff all yet as an unsettling influence?
    Monk is the manager and it has to be his way or the highway and credit to him for doing it his way. If he succeeds he get the deserved plaudits, if he fails, at least he'll have no excuses as he did it his way and will fall on his own sword. Monk has to prepare the squad and bring in new players and correctly isn't wasting his time propping up the egos of those who don't want to be here. Also says a lot about their unprofessional attitudes.
    I'm feeling positive about how pre season and potential targets that are close to signing seem to be shaping up.

    The reports on Poz, Canas, Michu and Hernandes leaving can be seen on the Evening Post and Wales on line sites.

    If truth were known,the real "unsettling influence" currently at the Club is - Garry Monk.
    Now that comment will enrage some who post here,since they believe he is untouchable,and anything he does, or says, is gospel.
    Some are even inventing scenarios to back him up.and that's bizarre.
    That may change in the foreseeable future,and will depend on who else is signed,and how the team,his team,performs early doors next season.
    However,his new broom attempts,and inability to treat certain players in an adult manner,are definitely having a deleterious effect.

    Well monk is the manager now and he decides who he wants in his squad and not you or me....As far as im concerned he is doing a fantastic job at bringing players in and some on here thought he would not attract anyone...how wrong can they be...<ok>

    The Radio Fails report may be true but it also exactly what was reported in the press the end of last week - Friends close to Michu report he's having talks with Napoli.

    Fact is Mr Daiswan nobody knows do they? Like every manager across the country Monk will stand or fall by the decisions he's taking right now. If we do really well early doors he'll be a hero and I like many others here will be more than happy to admit we were wrong.

    But I think the fact we have talented players like Pozuelo, Michu and now Pablo who either don't want to play here any more or who have been frozen out (one or the other) it should worry anyone who is a fan because it either smacks of an inability by the Manager to persuade unhappy players to adhere to the terms of their contract or a worrying lack of judgment.

    So I for one can understand why Swans fans are worried about losing those players. The question is whether the Club and or Monk have the ability to replace them. I honestly hope so. The Ecudorian guy looks decent and that could be a direct replacement for Pablo if it comes off.

    Players come and players go, some players have personal problems and some players are not part of the managers plans. Well guess what that is what football is all about and it has not changed at every club not just ours since the year football first took place. There are a million reasons why a player joins or leaves any club and that's their business not ours. like i say........ "That's Football"
