Conner I would love to see you back.
Seriously you are loved here and šŸ©ø White and Black.

The dream summer Roberts + Davies back.

Roberts Davies Cabango/Darling Tymon

Key is pushed further forwards in this plan.
Also the cover for injures would be awesome.
The cover on the pitch would also be back to the Swansea way.
We are a Leon Britton + Dyer/Routlage , Scott Sinclair 2.0 away from winning the league here next summer šŸ§

Also if no ,

Please donā€™t say about budget as we donā€™t know with Tyler Jack army coming in we might have the luxury of an average budget.

It's a no from me, I would prefer Key and we move on. Just because we will possibly have extra funds available, currently there is no need to spend it on area we have a decent player.

Key is younger and could be as good
Connor was terrific for us
Now his best days are behind him.
Hopefully,heā€™s got himself a decent enough pension
He could also do joinery work

Poll: Christmas. Enjoyable or not

Absolutely not!! Resigning aging ex-players is not the route a successful club wants to go down.
The real "Swansea way" is to get all giddy over the idea of signing a 30 something year old that used to play for us. Ideally one from the area. See Andre Ayew, Will Bony, Joe Allen, Lee Trundle etc etc

Going all out is a budgeting issue though.

If we push the boat out to sign a player like Connor, it likely means sacrifices in other positions.

Iā€™ve no idea what weā€™ll be able to spend, but Iā€™d certainly prioritise a striker, attacking creativity and a centre back over a position where weā€™ve already got Key and Parker.

Assuming a huge budget or in the more likely event that we get an offer we canā€™t refuse for Key, then yes Iā€™d absolutely love to have him back here.

I know we get nostalgic.

Who would be a better option for the same wage. (In Fantasy football world here )

Cyrus V Roberts
Kyle V Roberts

It would be strengthening the team but in the real world he would probably command a wage close to our other top earners.

Heā€™s one of the best right backs in the league, a full international and heā€™s also one of the fittest players weā€™ve ever had, he can play a bit and heā€™s got a goal in him.

Weā€™ve been complaining about lack of depth and goals for seasons now, we canā€™t turn our noses up at good players who really want to come here.

Both are only on contracts until the end of the season and both will probably leave. If we signed Roberts it would be as a first team regular.

The only real comparison to make is Key v Roberts, weā€™re not comparing him to backups.

Donā€™t get me wrong. Iā€™d still pick Roberts there, but Iā€™d rather keep Key and strengthen the areas of the team that need it.

Good points there I chose undecided, but I agree with you after reading this post.

Roberts is trying the Joey Allen trick. Roll up at 32 and play 30% of the games and extend his international career. If he wants to play again for Swansea he rolls up in July and takes a biig wage cut from a three year deal taking him to 32.

He plays behind Key who moves up field or either Key or Ronald is sold for an asking price of Ā£10m.

Connor Roberts is a very good player who is 29 years of age and on a reported Ā£30k per week at Burnley. If there is substance to those figures, then heā€™s going to want something similar back here to return. Is his position the weak link in the team - I donā€™t think it is. As much as Iā€™d love to see him in a Swans shirt again, I think there are more pressing areas in need of reinforcing and Ā£1.5m could be better spent elsewhere.

Exactly what I was trying to say. Youā€™ve just articulated it better!

He himself said he wanted to come back. He will not get that money at 29. The only way he comes back is in June at less than Ā£10k pw.

He will try to get that at 32 when no one else wants him. Hartson tried the same ruse. Fi your boots then go to Swansea at 32. No thanks. Martinez did not fall for it Martin did.

Nothing wrong with a jack wanting to play for us. He didn't want to go in the first place. We live in a cynical world driven by capitalism.

Definitely not.
Why buy another defender when we have the best defence in the league?
It's the other end that needs strengthening, not some emotional purchase.

Connor is 29
Kyle Walker is 34
If Connor should be drawing his football pension and hobbling making furniture on the side, then Kyle Walker should be in the nursing home for old players, rather than outpacing many other players in the EPL !
Connor has a good few years left in him yet and would be an excellent signing
