I would be very surprised if he wasn’t or he would have played him, he deserved at least a chance. There wasn’t any skullduggery going on they just chose to say nothing. When the clamour for him to get a squad place was at its height, they sent him home for some turkey.

A great believer in taking anything you like to wherever you want to.
The way he has been talking, by Feb 1st, we should have 4 or 5 better players.
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.

He has stated he does not want to play in the USA. He target is Europe and he does not have a long contract. Levien knows that in order for their player to be an asset in the "management group" they have to keep him sweet an find a home for him in Europe,
SWANSEA HAVE A WRETCHED RECORD OF ALLOWING STRIKERS SIGNED TO WALK OUT OF THE DOOR. Whitaker Goykeres Fetcher. None were up to scratch but Lowe, Yates and Cullen are. These are honest battlers nothing more.
Something is not right with the technical decision makers and they are not USA citizens. As a Swansea fan I want Fletcher to be at Swansea not Coventry.
Swansea were having a look at him with a view to signing this month. Duff was not particularly impressed. Duff was thinking short terms as is everybody else. He was thinking self preservation not the future.
Swansea players learned some harsh lesson today with their post teenage loans getting ripped up a 'good un'. Those lesson will be taken back to Arsenal (Patino), Brighton (Rushworth) , Chelsea (Humphreys) and Newcastle (Ashby). They will be stronger and Swansea will be weaker. Club culture is weak and working to the benefit of the English ruling elite.
Posters say he was not on trial. Duff clearly stated he was on trial. On trial for what? Here are his words in black and white.
DUFFS words in December 2023.
"Ultimately a decision will need to be made in January [at the end of his current loan]. But at the minute there's still a lot to do. He was one of the ones to come up the other day and he looked okay.
"But they all did okay. I think it's unfair on him [some of the speculation] and unfair on some of the others, because I think a couple of the others are probably actually ahead of him.
"They're young players. With social media now, you don't want him to go 'I've made it'. Essentially he's on trial and we need to keep looking at him. Keep putting him in the environment and ultimately we'll make a decision."
He has gone and "we" made a decision. Another bad one I suggest.
Duff was on a different wavelength to Fletchers DC owners. You do understand that he was on loan to the u21s only and was never allowed to play 1st team football. He was on loan to develop as a DC asset. I admit I was not aware of this until it was pointed out to me by someone who understood the facts regarding the loan. I was critical of Fletcher returning home for thanksgiving when close to first team selection. It is clear now that selection was never going to happen so the holiday had no impact on either club or personal development.

Duff stated there was a decision to make in January when the loan was complete. That was a decision to give him a permanent contract and a place i the first team squad subject to an agreement with Levien, Fletcher himself and he club.
We know for reports that Fletcher was keen to stay (WoL). Duff was not that keen saying he was behind one or two others (Wilson Smith Parker). Levien might have been keen on the right terms.
Levien talked of him returning only after Duff's ( "he is OK") comments. 17 goals in two or three months. (Phenomenal)
This is a recurring pattern. Managers not rating real striker talent already in the building. It is a Swansea problem not a USA one. Goykeres /Whitaker / Fletcher. £60m + £10m + £xm?
Lowe and Cullen have seen them all off and that is all that is left. No upside there. Both out of contract and not that great.
Duff is no longer here so his opinion on Fletcher is no longer valid, even though I'm sure he was not aware of decisions made by senior management, "background noises". If your assumptions are correct then Fletcher will be a Swansea player by the end of the month, if not he will continue to progress at DC as it is clearly their priority.

People on this forum say he was not on trial. I said he was on trial and the Manager of Swansea city said he was on trial. He has gone home.
Wriggle all you like. "The manger was not aware etc......... " OK then - you were on point and he was not on the case. Not very realistic.
Fletcher read Goykeres. Fetcher read Whitaker. I am a fan and do not understand what the club is doing. All roads lead to Lowe and Cullen who are average.
It’s my humour mun. Yiu have obviously never heard of Jerry Heyes. That ok How is Blackpool these days . Tried that terrific vegan cafe by the ground yet?
Ok then,Cammell Lairds FC but west Cheshire is a. Tough league and Jerry might be whacked by some hairy arsed centre halves who spend their working work unblocking toilets and drains .
I did an am not a liar. He had a good solid game when he scored his only goal v Stevenage. He was not useless he was "RAW" with a big upside potential.
Garrick playing RWB went down the left and put in a near post cross. Goykeres got in front of the keeper and tucked it away beautifully. Routledge scored the first after Viks assist. Big Vic blotted his copy book by giving away a penalty.
Big raw well trained centre forward are rare. There is no quality 6ft + centre forward in Wales since John Hartson. Moore and Vokes are Anglos. Iwan Morgan be might be the next or big 'kid' Crole from Cardiff. Swansea u21 predictably had no one up from v TNS. (no surprise there).
I saw Ante Rajkovics debut and thought he was dreadfull back in the 1980s.
Cooper said "There is a god player in there" then sent him back. He was not acting in the clubs long term interest because he knew he was already thinking of going.

I am disapointed Swansea were abolutey no threat on the break in the last 20 mins. No pace from Vic or Cullen. Garrick if moved into the middle would have given them more problems. Cullen Wales U21 Vic Swedish international. I would take Garrick over both of them.
