Sanches on 20:44 - Jun 23 with 1241 views | onehunglow | What it might prove Keith is that we are very lacking in coaching,managing,nurturing talent. This lad has outstanding talent yet ,he was absolutely peripheral for us. A nonentity . Yet,he goes back find Lille and wins them the Ligue 1. He is now playing against Mbappe and doesnt look at at lost. I feel ,as a fan base,we are sometimes more concerned about squabbling with each other and getting irate with fellow fans than we are or should be about what matters,ie ,who runs the club,manages the team and drives the club forward.

Sanches on 20:56 - Jun 23 with 1217 views | AndyCole | .. Good thread. An outstanding talent, and the way in which he's bossing the midfield space against World class France is majestic. Imagine if he'd had a proper manager when he was with us. Imagine if he had been here in the last 2 seasons. Timing. Is everything. btw - Lampard - does he cut it ? Can you imagine him back here ? . | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

Sanches on 20:58 - Jun 23 with 1211 views | jack247 | He didn’t want to come here and his head wasn’t right. He’s openly admitted that, I think Clement has too. Massively talented, but contributed his fair share to our relegation | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
Sanches on 21:01 - Jun 23 with 1205 views | Joe_bradshaw | There were reasons that he came to us on loan from Bayern Munich. He had lost his way and needed a reset, unfortunately it didn’t happen in Swansea. Before he came to us he was described by his club’s president, Rumenigge as the worst player in the Bundesliga and he certainly wasn’t going to feature in the Bayern team. He’s got bags of talent but fame came very early five years ago in the Euros and he understandably couldn’t sustain it. It’s been a long haul back and he’s now showing what a good player he is. | ![](/images/avatars/9110.gif) |

I’m sure he didn’t. He was just in a bad place mentally. His performances may have snowballed that. One of those signings that seemed to good to be true. Hard to criticise the club for going for it, we were all delighted as fans. I do wonder though, whether we did as much homework on him as usual, or just snapped him up because he was a big name at a big club.

He’s got no excuse. Just didn’t put the effort in. Insulting player. I defend Cooper on here sometimes, but he needed to drop Hourihane. Everyone was saying it for ages. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

I agree, but let’s be realistic, it was exceptional circumstances. They wanted to send him here because of Bayern/Ancelottis relationship with Clement. If Palace or Burnley get the option to loan this tournament best young player in 12 months time, I guarantee they’ll jump at it. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
Sanches on 22:43 - Jun 23 with 1081 views | Dr_Parnassus | He came here when his confidence was at an all time low, he was struggling mentally. His ability shouldn’t have really been in question for anyone who saw him previously. His move away from Munich has clearly helped him. | ![](/images/avatars/27408.gif) |

Sanches on 06:22 - Jun 24 with 1004 views | jackal | The worst player that I've seen in a Swans' shirt. No effort, no desire, no commitment .and a stinking attitude. Just didn't want to be here. Took the money and gave nothing. It sticks in my craw watching him perform so well last night. It shows what could have been. | ![](/images/avatars/8665.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Suspect OHL it’s not quite as black & white or as simple as poor coaching & management - although suspect they played a part - players mindset, age, language skills, different country, point of his development at the time etc. I also wonder whether our manager at the time was fully bought into the loan & support he would require - interestingly (not expecting you to agree with this) I think he would have settled & flourished in our squad last season, Cooper works well with younger players & the clear squad unity would have helped him settle. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
