Cooper did not want him. Cooper did not play him. Brighton had a call back option for these circumstances. He was forced out by Cooper under estimating the player completely. He preference Lowe It was a serious blunder by Cooper who than stated he had no centre forward.
I am a gardener and I know of if do not water my plants they will not grow.
Managers know how to manipulate fans. Both Cooper and Martin did it.Neither was forced out. Both broke their contracts.
What people do after leaving Swansea is irrelevant. Potter was hand recruitment on a plate and brought in Asoro Celina Declan Jon and McKay one of the worst player in the clubs recent history. At the time Ivan Toney went to Peterborough for £1m.
Cooper was given Vic to develop but ignored him and forced him out. We are talking about a generational talent.
Weak brains always focus on the owners not the managers looking for their next gig and prepared to sulk to get their way.
I hope Williams is not a sulker and play the hand he is given.
This was Huw and his man Ledbetter. A huge opportunity missed to bring in top talent.
The US people trusted the local people and managers like Potter who messed up Cooper who lost a generational talent. Martin used cash to by Fisher and not enough left for O'Reilly.
Now they own recruitment themselves and being very cautious.Three decent looking signings in the bag. A couple more permanent signings and two quality loans - job done. Don't panic Captain Mainwaring .
Swansea still have plenty of time to get strikers and centre backs in . Peterson and Nathan Tao might have impressed in pre season. Kukharevych will go and probably Sidebeh or another come in.
Swansea of committed to its academy. Smith a winger Wilson and Thomas strikers might step up. I rate Wilson
Natural resources of Afghanistan were supposed to be fabulous. They might be but if they were why did the US withdraw? The Taliban have them now but too busy praying and attending to their women to develop the fabulous resources.
Iraq was run by a ruthless murderous dictator that had started two wars before US UK got involved with him. Plus he had gassed 4000 of our Kudish friends. Iraq was handed a blank page but could not get on with each other. Fragmentation of the country is better for everyone. Removing madmen doctors is never peaceful.
Brexit has changed the demographics of immigration. Most middle eastern s are working a law keeping concentrated in cities but invisible in the shires.
If UK want to stop immigration then the welfare state needs to be rolled back British people will not do agriculture work unless forced to by the need for cash.
The genocide in Gaza is caused by Likud / Hamas looking to eradicate each other. It is correct the west should not support Likud. Hamas still hold Israeli hostages and agitated the Israeli far right.
The murderer was reported to be born and raised in Cardiff. He is clearly serious dysfunctional and violent. We have such people here.
Good to see Cotterill and Congreve go out on loan early in pre season so they can get into the first team and play. It is good that it is league 2. They do not want to be stuck on the bench at this level.
Teams pick their first team early in the eason and if the start well it would be tough for these guys to get in the first team.
Lissah and Parker are both highly rated as centre back and right wing back. These are no longer u21 players. Abdullai should now be on every team sheet.
Congreve must now play in the first team squad and Josh Thomas who is a grafter and the type of player who is suited to a high press. Grafting must count for something. He has a lot of u21 goals and 4 in league 1 with Port Vale. Joe Taylor his Wales u21 (Luton Town) co striker is similar but has kicked on more on loan.
Evan Watts seems above Broome currently who seems a bit of a mystery. Fisher is out for a bit.
The US owners must understand the concept of overpaying wages for a free with the option of a quick sales for a big fee. They did it with Ayew when he was 26 or so, first time. He came for free paid £3m-£4m in wages and bonuses and sold for a old £20m to West Ham.
Swansea should go for a play like this and hope he will be a huge success. A £20m fee tends to balance the books.
In reality Russia and Israel are in the same thought process.
Both are stealing land. Both have spurious historical claims on the land. Both are ethnically removing the indigenous population. Russia by razing and rebuilding. Israel more systematically. Both are planting same minded settlers on gained lands. Both are prepared to kill to get their aims. Both are prepared to lose their own citizen in big numbers. Russia feel justified in their actions by the success of Israel. Russian is correct in accusing the west of hypocrisy.
Neither can Likud nor Hamas can make a peaceful settlement. They equate progress with blood and both need to be moved sideways and out of the picture to enable a settlement.
Neither should be supported. The job that needs to be done will be done by others.
There was a video of the death of George Floyd 5000 miles under Police supervision. There was no video of Mohamed Hassan in Wales.
Activists were on the street for the criminal Floyd but only the family protested for Mr Hassan. It was kept under wraps and out of sight. Justice works best in peace and quiet.
He could do well at Cardiff with the owner manager and chairman presumably of the same faith.
The Israelis have criminalised a common sense solution to their problems.
It is not difficult to create a Palestine " from the river to the sea" without splitting Israel into two.
Any Palestine would need a port which is Gaza. This would be linked to the West Bank within a narrow corridor with service areas or small linear villages ( subject to negiocation) . The Israeli roads crossing would be in short secure tunnels.
The alternative preferred by Israelis would be a tunnel from Welsh Bank to Gaza.
Both would fit the "River to the Sea" words which are in no way provocative. It is a simple request and easily achieved.
The only issue is the safety of the illegal Israeli settlers in the West Bank. Palestinian must bite the bullet that UK citizens have done. We have not repatriated many of our "illegals".
El Ghazi should be allowed free speech in Wales if he comes.
Old players can be used if they are friendly with the club. A little fee here and there to help as non contract scouts. Ki seems to have been involved with Eom. They can at least give the contracted scout the " heads up" .
I wonder if Montero or his agent was anything to do with the Govea brothers from Ecuador.
Swansea's Brazilian came via Portugal leagues. Let the Portuguese do the base work then buy cheaply those like Ronald who are of no interest to Porto Benfica and Sporting but talented nevertheless.
What happened at Coventry would have happened at Swansea simple. It looks as if it was a loan to buy deal. They would be £20m better off in in a much better place.
People saying Swansea had no choice to let him go because Brighton recalled him is 'simplistic' thinking. It is not a dig.
Cooper left him out because he did not want the player he wanted the vastly inferior keinan Davis. Manages are like this. Cooper is a good manager but made a howler. He was not working in the clubs best long term interests and broke his contract 6 months later.
