Goykeres had played for Brighton, St Pauli and Sweden at 21, this Hanratty boy has done nothing at 21.
Goykeres had shown potential at 21, Hanratty hasn't, Hanratty is not a centre forward, listed as a midfielder by transfermarkt, described as a winger elsewhere, if he is a failed midfielder/winger than perhaps somebody might try him as a centre forward.
The chances of this boy making it are slim because his achievements at 21 years of age are slim as regards a career at the top end of the game.
Hope he makes it at the Swans but it's nothing to get overenthusiastic about.as a signing even as a one for the future signing. |
There is a back story to this, but we won’t be commenting until we get more info. It isn’t bad btw. |  |

You are missing the point.
Swansea fans threw Gyorkeres under the bus after Cooper ignored him (like his countryman Petersen). The oft mentioned "he never did anything for us".
At 21 he was not properly assessed and developed and purchased. At 21 he had not pulled up trees like Piroe had not. The expert club people at the club should not have allowed this to happen given their truly abysmal record of developing forwards though the academy and CoE. The Kilgetty Messi' is as good as gets. I did not know he was playing v Millwall.
Goykeres was written off by the club and their fans who showed insufficient care and attention in an area where the club has been historically very weak.
This fellow is a 6 ft 2 in winger who has pace 21 years old who can play number 9. He is 4 years younger than Cullen and is known by Levey.
No one is getting over enthusiastic but give the guy a chance, The local lad has stagnated and shown little improvement. Like Piroe he was highly rated at 18 (scouted by Juventus) and faded. Coming to Swansea did wonders for a fading Piroe. |  |

Swansea never owned Goykeres.
There is no point to miss the player in question has only played senior football at a very low level although he is into his 20s. | |

Swansea had the opportunity to sign him for pennies but did not (in my opinion) do their work properly and lost him to Coventry who's staff did see his potential and developed it. He is now an £80m footballer. Coventry got £20m for him and more to come perhaps another £10m.
It was a major blunder by staff who laughably prefered Cullen. Cullen stagnated while Gyorkeres flew. I am having doubts whether local Swansea insider actually know what they are doing with regards to forwards. Fans ignore this and blame the US owners for O'Riley instead after Martin blew his budget on Fisher.
Gyorkeres had done little before the age of 23. More than Hanratty for sure. Villa and Rangers liked his characteristics. The club must fully investigate and develop his potential as the local lads are failing. He is rated by Levey and his instincts have to be backed. Swansea need to develop no 9s. | |

Gyorkeres was a full international at 21for Sweden. | |

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. |  | | |

I see no issue in signing Hanratty, if he is a success in his trial. Only 21, room to develop, no fee, no risk. At Aberdeen, he was the standout at under-18's, enough to alert Villa and Rangers, so he has something about him.
It has been said that he is a confidence player, so perhaps the Swans managerial team can bring the best out in him.
He clearly isn't going the be the main striker signing.
I mentioned this on a Forfar forum and they pointed to Cedwyn Scott, who played on loan at Forfar, was bang average and then went to Gateshead and then onto Notts County, at the age of 23, scoring 39 in 87 and helping County into the football league.
It can happen. |  | | |

The Academy does not produce many strikers. Josh Thomas and Cullen have survived through the system but many have not.
Reuben Davies, Owain Jones, Jones Thomas Bony Junior. Etc.Going back to Scott Thyer and Chad Bond.
It is so poor it might be systematic. Glory Nzinga and Sami Heina are filling the gaps in a failing system perhaps.
Swansea were reportedly interested in James Crole a square jawed Welsh centre forward. He went to Pen y Bont. | |
