The £60M only goes to show what such an investment can get an ambitious club and why so many clubs are prepared to gamble with money they havn't got. We created an identity because we didn't have that much cash but I know where my vote goes.
All the best |

Backed by a Russian after bankrupcy and they didn't have a pot to pee in, bought shrewdly and the profits offset the low attendances, only to be fortunate once again after the Russian had departed, selling to an American who, like so man of his countrymen decided the UK and the Premier League in particular, future tv deals, was the place to invest.
After playing in front of 11,000 approximate every week it will be interesting to see what the crowds increase to after their new stadium has been built.
Make no mistake its player identification and backed by a money man that has brought them success, unlike ourselves who created an identity only to forfeit a style of play for profit and have owners who are yet to understand the game, yet always wanting to have the final decision on future deals. |

Rooney didn't rate him at Derby when he was manager there and sold him to us and subsequent head coaches - Cooper and Martin have also left him on the sidelines |

Pedersen(too slow) and Tjoe(not good enough) will be offloaded on loan while Watts could also get a loan move while Josh will also seek a loan if we bring in another striker.
LW has assured us that the 4 new players will be quality so it should be less of the likes of Okoflexm, Stevens, Burns and Sagoe Junior and more of competing straight away with current first teamers and pressure on them to up their game or they will be on the bench. Wait and see. |

Pedersen would be taken to the cleaners by the sharp, speedy opposition in the Championship as would Tjoe where his reluctance to put his foot into a tackle was evident on a few occasions on Tuesday. |

I'm surprised the social media addicts on here don't check out twitter as there are regular updates, team line-ups etc., goals, subs made, on there when the matches are played at the Joma Performance Centre, Landore. |

Supermarket petrol stations have been accused time and time again since covid, all the Ombudsman(if there is one) who should be regulating the price of oil especially if the price of a barrel of oil is continually low is force supermarket prices down by a couple of pence and then it slowly rises again no doubt encouraged by the Just stop oil zealots.
For oil read the closed shop of the water utility companys who continue unabated to poison river and sea life. |

Graham and Hanratty are 20 and 21 and the question is where do you play them, in the 21's that will block pathways for younger kids or train with the first team in midweek and sit in the stand on matchdays.
Talk to the fans who go to watch the friendly matches and they will tell you that neither player impressed at Trefelin or at Briton Ferry & Llansawel this week so ae they worthy of being offered a pro deal for twelve or twenty four months. |

Is it any wonder the four regions are struggling, Club Wales plays almost the same amount of matches in twelve months that the likes of the Ospreys etc., do. Who would want to watch the Ospreys or buy a season ticket when the team is faced with blooding their academy youngsters. |

In all honesty as much as we have loved travelling abroad over the years and the excitement that comes with travelling to the airport through to taking in the foreign delicacies and the departure home we just can't be bothered with all the politics that involves modern day air travel, not forgetting searching for travel insurance.
Yes you have the advantage of warm weather, cheaper food and drink but for that a couple of days taking in the delights of villages in Norfolk, Suffolk and even Essex, besides trips back home to Swansea more than fulfils our travel expectations as we approach our mid-70's. |

Gwbert is a lovely village and the Gwbert Hotel is well worth a visit. Situated overlooking the estuary a sea view room is stunning. Ideal base if you are a golfer, Cardigan golf club is situated behind the hotel about 500 yards up the hill.
Great staff and terrific food. |

As good at times Doug was for the club he was incredibly single minded when contract issues distracted him. Robbie James was stuffed over Doug deny he had given the promise that Doug would pay Robbie's stamp duty while a former Bolton full back Gary Earnshaw was pictured in the Swans team pre-season photo call yet didn't play a game for the club. |

Perhaps Juve didn't move in on Aimar because he was under the age of 16, but the youngster was already in the Swans 'system' in season 2020/21 when he was 14 years old, actually making his debut from the bench at Bristol City in 28/4/21, three months short of his 15th birthday |

Whatever scouts Juve had in Cardiff I dare say their recruitment in Spain is far more developed and would have spotted Aimar in 2022 from this article in the Official site
Swansea City Under-18s' midfielder Aimar Govea has been called up to Spain's Under-17 squad for their training camp in Alicante from December 12 to December 15.
The 16-year-old has been named as part of Julen Guerrero's 26-man squad to travel to Alfaz del Pí for a four-day preparation camp as they look forward to the Uefa Under-17 European Championship, with the finals due to take place next year.
Govea - who has already represented Ecuador at international youth level - making his debut against Argentina Under-17s back in October, was born in Spain. |

Whether the contract was not attractive enough to tempt Iwan Morgan to sign a pro contract or there were other circumstances, I dare say if he had stayed he would have been in and around the first team last season. |

Mark Allen didn't sign Lissah or Wilson or any of the Chelsea youngsters, that was down to the head of recruitment at the time Jack Chapman.
As for Eze, he came to Landore on trial, amongst other clubs and wasn't rated. That's what happens in football, an academy can't sign everybody they trial and when some trialists when they arrive don't impress. Move on. |

If Jules was 24 we would be at the back of the queue whether we lose out on wages or a transfer fee. Even the foreign players mentioned are asking for wages more than what our budget dictates |

This is the market the Swans are in and we had better get used to it, but on the plus side a keen, late developer, eager to learn Lge 1 c/back who can play in a 3 or 4 back row, for a fee of around £350k I have no doubt will prove to be a better option than the money spent on a loan for Humphries last season. |
