Done some asking and Oli McBurnie is most certainly up for a loan back to the UK this window. I’ve been told four Championship clubs are interested. This will all fall on the fee’s involved plus he is on in the region of €36,000 a week. Big numbers but we know how these things can be negotiated.
Do we have the money ?
Yes.
P&S will need to be positive and only the club really know where we are with that at this moment in time, It won’t be massively healthy. Oli has played fourteen games for Las Palmas this season with no return. He has never been a prolific striker, but could he settle into Luke’s team ? |  |

Cullen is not a one up front alone striker but has moved seamlessly into the number 10 role for us and Wales, well done Luke Williams. Vipotnik is just not good enough, at least one striker should be a priority next month. |
Both given chances have scored
I believe they get more
Not if we play as we do |  |

Wasn’t it Bellamy who saw his potential at 10 rather than LW? I may be wrong. |  |

Williams started playing Cullen in the 10 role against Millwall, apparently it's what he wanted to do earlier. But Vipotnik wasn't fit enough to play up front, coupled with Cullens injury where he needed injections to play.
For Wales in the October games he played more towards the right side and then in the 10 role in November games. That's how I saw it anyway. |  | | |

Well,Bellers has improved Cullen and we benefit .
He doesn’t lack passion anyway | |

Thimk William's was tryng to find a team that could score more goals, the forward midfield was generally occupied by Cooper but it would seem that Cooper injury also influenced Cullen's move to the advanced midfield role.
Williams has tried small changes in general to find that elusive consistency, the balance between attacking and defending except the weeks with midweek games which he seemed forced to make changes maybe because of the niggling injuries to players which are kept under wraps .
As for Vipotnik it would seem he is just another player written off because he is just not good enough.
Presume most of these supposedly not up to it players have been playing for years and having been trained coached and in a lot of cases into playing football in a certain ways. When Vipotnik was brought here someone thought there was a good footballer in there, Cullen, Cooper Whittaker, Kuharevich, Yates all apparently not good enough for some. Yes players dumped into an inexperienced team in positions they are not accustomed to, with very little service or quality to that service is going to struggle "to find their feet."
The game against Hull the whole team was shockingly bad, second half against Cardiff the whole team was shockingly bad, Against Wycombe the whole team was shockingly bad. This isn't because of individual players these were games where we could not counter the opposition's tactics that is solely down to the coach.
He has to learn one size does not fit all and we keep making the same mistakes, the same mistakes we made under Martin.
Time will tell if William's can sort it out finding the positions for players to fit into a team but also what works and what doesn't on a consistent basis. | | | |

I can live with that if it benefits the club long term. But I don't think our better ones are covering the bad ones. | | | |

We are 19th in wage bill table, with a couple of tidy additions next month we can hopefully be more consistent in the second half of the season |  |

New additions, get to know eachother, few more in the summer and have a good crack at it next year.
We are still inconsistent unfortunately but if the team coukd bottle that today and take a quick tot before every game then we’d be there or thereabouts this season. Unlikely though. | |

I honestly believe that with about 3 decent championship standard players we could have a crack at the play offs but that's the glass half full guy I am 😊
To add to your second point, every team in the championship has a dip at one time or another during the season, it's impossible to be on top form through a 46 game season. |  | | |

morning all, does anyone know the state of the Darling talks on a new contract?
if he is not going to sign we should consider selling and bring in a replacement this coming window, sad as it would be to see him go | | | |

Depends how his other offers are. | |

You’re doing the job ,Keith,Swansea sports journalists ahouod be doing.
Just how does somebody ,especially those living “ in exile” keep up with contemporary matters at the club .
It shouldn’t really be down to you to inform and report as you do,but what you do is clearly kosher
You’re playing a blinder ,son | |

Heard he is on the radar but wouldn't be cheap.
Summer may be a better time if Wycombe don't go up. |  |
| Swansea Indepenent Poster Of The Year 2021. Dr P / Mart66 / Roathie / Parlay / E20/ Duffle was 2nd, but he is deluded and thinks in his little twisted brain that he won. Poor sod. We let him win this year, as he has cried for a whole year. His 14 usernames, bless his cotton socks.

There's a few factors with this.
Wycombe I guess would not sell unless for over the odds money as they are in a great position to go up.
We leave until the summer. He keeps scoring he will be on other teams Radar.
Are we lucky with picking up gems in the January window? Nothing springs to mind. |  | | |

Last one I can think of was Borini!
If we can get Darling signed up and finish mid table, I’d consider it a successful season, bearing in mind it started with Levein and Kaplan offering wages described as both ‘league one’ and ‘insulting’.
If we’re having a crack at top six, we need to do serious business this window. I think we’d be better served getting ourselves set up for next season. Both in terms of transfers and developing some of our less experienced first team players. | | | |

The gulf in the quality between us and the top teams in the league squad wise too great for us to go up this season IMO. Start restructuring the squad in January with players in and out and complete the process next summer then have a real crack at it next season. No short term loans just build for the future. | | | |

I wouldn’t bother thus window unless Abbey goes back and we need to sign someone as cover.
The current striking options aren’t going to get us anywhere near top six, but we may as well play them every week and see if Williams can develop them enough for next season.
The rest of the starting eleven is good enough IMO, but we need squad players closer to first team level. | | | |

Ìf you review all our games against the current top 6 we traded toe to toe with all of them. We don't NEED strengthening, oneortwo new faces won't hurt. | | | |
