January Transfer Thread
at 00:10 3 Jan 2025

Abuse reported ? Must have been a mouse slip?

Dalby could not get in Wrexham's team last season and Mullin is having a goal drought in league 1 after stepping up a league. Remember Millwall took a punt on Longstaff and he has bombed with the strep up.

Swnseamissed tow headers again v Portsmouth Cullen and Bianchini. Swansea need to back Vipotnik and Bianchini like they did with Cullen who is 3 years older.

I usually do not get vexed at football managers leaving but Williams's car crash interviews have angered me.

I wounder if they have angered Coleman and h the clubs new backers. They had have dough and can put him of gardening leave, letting him earn a reputation for being "trouble".

Yes indeed. It is a forum and I post what i see and am aware of. You have done some detective work and matched the wording of yesterday's BBC interview with the audio the BBC has just issued of facebook. I ave my own lif to live and it does not included ayuditing the BBC.

They appear the same. The "just " word was not correct it was 24 hrs go. It was has second flippant car crash interview as I stated. Another poster has mused as to why this audio was delayed.

I had not heard his interview. This is the second car crash interview in his own words and was issued 3-4 hours ago. The post match club interview with the girl did not raise the issue of WBA. This one did and was another car crash.

The text was reported by the BBC but not posted on here for all the Swansea independent viewers. You had seen it many other had not.

BBC told him fans were concerned at links to WBA. He said well they would not be after a performance like that, (0-4 defeat) H aha.

BBC pressed him and he stated there had been no contact with WBA suggesting to me he is open to their interest to leave. His flippant attitude has put my back up. It may have had the same effect on Coleman and his partners.

Good scoop by the BBC Williams is still larking about and being evasive. It has put my back up; Leaders do not do this,

There are many thing "beyond you" to be fair. It is a forum.

That is aplace to exchange views and ideals. This is Swnsea best forum because people challenge "narratives".

There always be people out to slap down alternative views. You go out your way to stop any new ideas.

For example Keith has suggested Martin was sacked but has not backed that up.

This comment is from Williams who is now the" notional " manager The comment is not from Andy Coleman who now has two members of staff with commitment issues.

This cannot be allowed to derail the clubs progress. Good management requires swift action. With remote owners this a was a big ask. I expect Coleman to act decisively in both cases .
Both individuals do not belong in Swansea and cannot be allowed to " tick over" in second gear on a generous Swansea salary.

Williams has just done a second car crash interview on the BBC.

I saw the Kaplan trip as either a trip to tell Martin to buck up his ideas or a team talk to sooth over deep frustrations over the window. Martin had managed to fall out with three players all getting paid good money with two a high asset valuation. The team were not playing well.

Martin accepted he lost his mojo but came back to form after the visit and some reflection.

It always has been because he has a contract the club must honour. Nothing gas changed.

All Swansea can do is play him or put him up for transfer. He will go this January IDF anyone make a half decent offer. He is a good player he will get offers on good wages.

If Darling says " not interested" with 2-3 good three year offers on the table he would be foolish. Jam today. No one knows what can happen in the next 5 months.

So who cancelled the trip to USA and why?

The options are as follows.

a) Martin because he was joining Southampton
b) Levien because Martin was joining Southampton
c) Coleman because he wanted Martin to leave.

It is my perception ( and may be incorrect) that Coleman distanced him from the May start date to not accept responsibility for the dreadful financial performance of£17m loss.

From memory Coleman arrived in May but Winer was still in place. It has been suggested while the US based owners were happy to talk a new deal Coleman perhaps did not.

The key question is who cancelled the flight to the USA and why?

My perception was the Southampton had already approached Martins people and US people pulled the plug. It could be the club pulled the plug and Martin then was on contact with Southampton.

Either way there is no sacking. The matter is resolved so no need for

Players like Manning will never sign a new deal. Swansea got him for a song from QPR with 6 months left. That is what he does. He came cheap and left for free.

If Swansea put Darling up for sale, if there is a bidding war a team will make a bid and other clubs waiting for him in the Summer will have to respond or lose him. When the fee is discounted £1-2m they may as well go all in and use him to help the promotion drive e g WBA Leeds Sunderland. Darling cannot tell them to wait.

Swansea may as well buy Low or similar and bed him in. Darling wil not be at Swansea next season. This team is developing and not yet fully competitive.

You need to explain your theory that he may have been "sacked". Southampton paid compensation reluctantly.

He may have been eased to the door like Sousa was but that is not sacking. If Coleman wanted him out they did well to get compo but why then would the club go for one of Martin s ex colleagues?

Honestly Luke do you really believe your PR ! Swans crash at Pompey

No Coleman should ask WBA to formalise an offer and collect the compensation. You do not leave £1m on the table. Darling should be made available for transfer at a knock down price £1m and Low should be purchased. Darling can kick his heels for 6 months.

Williams and Darling are not happy in Swansea but under contract. They are not needed. Move them to one side and let their agents find them new roles.

Put him up for sale £1m ono. Bring in Low and another to replace Abbey. I never believed he would sign a new deal. Someone will take him on.

If Low come in then it has to be "you have played your last game for Swansea".

He wants to play but it will not h be here.
