Care to elaborate? Seems a strange comment within the context of this thread. |  | | |

Hope we don"t end up with half the MK team.
They finished 13th in league 1 for a reason. | |

Hopefully so, Cooper's loans worked out well | |

What!
Woodman was given two seasons and was barely a step up from Benda. Remember Woodman had outstanding back line in front of him. Decent goalkeeper.
Guehi, had a really good half season from 18 months.
Brewster - very good return of 10 goals in 20 games.
That leaves
Gibbs-White - injured but showed a few flashes of quality
Gyokeres - a bit of a flop with us but what chances did he get?
Palmer - a bit of a flop with us.
Hourihane - a flop.
Morris - kept on the side lines, injured
Arriola - kept on the sidelines, injured
Wilmot - kept being picked when we had better on the bench
Kalulu - a bit of a flop with us but what chances did he get?
Surridge - effort but a bit of a flop
Gallgher - had a few moments, added an occasional spark but nothing special. | |

Good Post, yet many are decrying the fact we have lost Geuhi and should not be expecting great things this season as a result...as well as the loss of Ayew and Grimes...so we have to be patient with the new manager as a result | |

This will always be the problem when a player steps up a level. I think he will be lucky to shift Naughton let alone Roberts. | |

He won’t be the one who shifts Roberts I suspect. | | | |

Depends how well he does? Maybe we'll see Connor being sold in January and Laird finish the season here as first choice?
Anything is possible. One day I may even be right. | |

Quite.
Every window to date we’ve moved on the players that we can get decent sums for. I can’t see any reason why that will stop.
I fully expect a few that are here at the moment to not be here at some point soon. | | | |

And most likely ex academy players.
With all due respects to Naughton, Bidwell, etc.

Strange position to be strengthening IMO. I know Roberts is out for the start of the season but we also have Naughton who can cover there. When Roberts is fit maybe it'll put pressure on him to perform?
Maybe they're planning on Roberts not being around for the duration of the season. 
I hear Martin prefers to play 3 at the back, so would have thought that would have been one of the first positions to strengthen so that we have a couple of additional quality players in there next to cabango. | | | |

In the old days he would be cleaning Connors boots. |  |
| 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.

This signing puts pressure on fullbacks Bidwell and CR23 to sign a new deals.
Fullbacks /agents aspirations for this season are:
a) To run down his contract,
b) Attempt to get Swansea back into the PL (sign new deal if achieved)
c) Help Wales to qualify for the World cup 2022 (CR23)
d) Play in the World cup. (CR23)
e) See off the competition of Neco Williams and Beck of Liverpool (young kid). Neco's star has fallen after a shakey game Denmark and reportedly out of favour and Liverpool. (CR23)
The clubs aspirations are primarily for the fullbacks to sign a new deal and become captain or vice captain. A solid World cup would be great for CR23 and the club. Alternatively get good money for the fullbacks this transfer window or at worst January 2022.
So how will it pan out?
If Laird performs to his potential and CR23 returns. If he declines an extension Liard not Roberts will be Swansea's first pick. If Roberts signs a new deal he will be first pick not Laird. The club has to favour players with a future at the club.
The World cup is by far the most prestigious tournament in World football, CR23 is a phenomenal athlete. He will see this as an absolute 'must do'. If he wants to play in the World cup ( If wales get there) the club must emphasise to him the best way of doing this is having a settled club season and signing an new deal.
CR23 by not signing a new deal could spend this season out of the first team and missing out on the World cup as Neco and Beck stake their claim. Swansea will surely not countenance a loan to help him out. Its about respecting the clubs interests and their own interest at the same time.
