Swansea city going global 10:36 - Jun 18 with 3506 views | ReslovenSwan1 | This is good news. If Swansea just recycle championship regulars like Patterson Lowe and co it will result in middle table obscurity and eye popping losses as average Joe's demand wages of half a million and blow hot and cold. Read Stoke city. Far better to get some hungry youngsters desperate to get to the PL like Ronald with a big upside. Sadly it looks as it some of the local u21 do not have the hunger and have not used thee long contracts given to them to hone their skills. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/cn4492eg4y8o [Post edited 18 Jun 10:38]

Swansea city going global on 21:41 - Jun 19 by ReslovenSwan1 | This is why Swansea have to take calculated risks and get players in before they come to attention. Also players with room to develop. The club has done it in the past to great success. The manic depressives on here say things like . "He cannot be any good or he would not have come to Swansea". One wonders why the follow Swansea at all. |
Using manic depressive in that context is very poor . It’s opinions of some people | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

This is the trouble though these owners will not be told and they dont gamble, O Reily for one deal agreed 2.5 mill, plug pulled, now teams all over europe offering 25 mill plus, if they had added a bit more last Jan we would have had Bannon maybe now looks like Rangers will have him wonder what the gamble is there? | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Fans always focus on the one that got away. Downes Piroe and Darling were more than decent. The narrative and the truth are not always the same. Once Celtic and Rangers are in it is difficult for Swansea. Rangers have signed plenty of duffers recently over paying with it. | ![](/images/avatars/27402.gif) |

Gyorkeres was not the " one that got away" like OReilly. He was in the net and on the bank.. Hewas in Swansea oozing potential and forced out by a manager with a "me me" outlook. A player like Gyorkeres was for a manager like Mark Robbins with a perspective of more than 6 months. Now they want £100m. This was a calamity..Cullen and Lowe preferred. You could not make it up.. | ![](/images/avatars/27402.gif) |

The club has a budget and the deals were probably too rich for Swansea. The club were outbid. It is a competitive business. Stoke have outbid Swansea for numerous players some were good others were disasters. Surridge Ince Ryan Woods for example. Wood bombed. Stoke owe their owners£120m plus. It's easier to get frustrated but this is Swansea and it has always been like this. | ![](/images/avatars/27402.gif) |

Fans are complaining about the owners for not buying O'Reilly but giving Martin and Cooper an easy ride for the calamities of Gyorkeres and Whittaker. It as a recipe for failure . Not buying good players and not developing food players you have | ![](/images/avatars/27402.gif) |

So why did they pull the plug? Think about it. Levien decided he was no good? Is that is what you are saying? He had never heard of the bloke. People are spending their own money and Martin had blown £400k and silly wages on Fisher. There was a budget. There was not enough cash or other priorities. The owners like you and me want to buy good players.They cannot off Champions League though. | ![](/images/avatars/27402.gif) |

The deals I mentioned were within budget, all sorted by the guys "on the ground" but not signed off at the final stage. No reasons given except that they will not be happening. | ![](/images/avatars/11389.gif) |

Swansea city going global on 08:24 - Jun 20 by EagleEye | Clearly has no affinity or loyalty to the club who practically saved his career. This attitude is a concern & tells us something about how the club is perceived by a number of players at the moment. He should start the season below the likes of Cabango, Darling, Lissah in the pecking order. He is really not that good anyway |
England u21s knocked at the door he has an agent. Don't hate the lad for wanting the maximum £ Out of his short time in football. Wood has battled for our shirt 👕. I hope he gets the big move because at the moment we are literally a mid club championship team (at best). | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |
