You are just wrong. CR17 is exactly what Swansea need.Expericed and feisty and still young enough. Swansea have to be tough. If he wants to call me to Swansea it is June 2025 or never.

The thread has become contaminated. It was about CR 17 not JA. I never wanted Joey back after 32. Is

Connor Roberts is 29. Joey is 34.

No one gets the asking g price. It is the art of the deal. Huw put in a low ball offer and Liverpool rejected it. They would have accepted around that price in January but Joey wanted to go to Stoke. He signed as second deal with them. He only wanted to come to Swansea to fill up his pension and the club fell for it.

If Joe wanted to come to Swansea he could have forced it somewhere along the line. He was not forced to sign for Stoke ( twice). Swansea signed Fer instead and he was very good for Swansea.

I do not like this sort of post. I would never do this to you as I have respect for the forum. This sort of post discourages discourse and therefore bad for the owners charitable cause.

I contribute on both pages and open new threads. Intimidating and patronising poster is why people read posts but do not contribute. People like you are the reason why. Mind your own business. People can make their own judgement. This forum should not be 10-12 contemptuous posters

I have seen Wilson a dozen times and he is a threat. Dan James did nothing at Shrewsbury. Wilson was MOM in his first game and two assists on his latest game. Wilson is more mature than Govea who has played.

CR17. Pencil him in for a return with a decent wage and captaincy. Defensive leader and a gee up for the others.

Cotterill Congreve and Wilson can all step up. Swansea need to develop a goal keeper as well and not pay big wages for veterans. Why is Watts not on the bench?

Cotterill and Wilson are ready. Parker and perhaps Glory after his US spell.

I would go all out for Low and CR17 on frees and make Connor captain on decent money. He has the edge that Grimes never
had. Ash Williams edge. Wilson and Parker have real gas and Ginnelly and Yates wilm be back.

Bianchini Vipotnik Eom Tymon Key all have potential and the club needs a coach that improves players. The new man must assess Yates and Kuharevych in pre season. In my opinion a limited big lump can still be of use off the bench. Both Yate and Cullen ars poached and feed of knock-downs generated by muscle.

Chippo Motting played for FC Bayern for a few seasons and the Spanish guy Joselu that could not cut it here played for Espana.

2 tier keir wants to send troops to Ukraine
at 19:47 21 Feb 2025

Russian economy is tanking and to hold the land they stole they gave to make long and costly military spending spread thin.

Then they have to rebuild the cities they flattened costing by billions. They gave done some small projects in Mariupol. Their oil pipeline could freeze over and break and need complete reconstruction according to on analyst. Many refineries are seriously damaged and need foreign experts.

Sevastopol is unusable for them without Ukraine's es consent. They had the harbour for their use in 2021. Now they cannot use it without Ukraine's permission. UK has this trouble with Hong Kong and concluded they had to hand it over.

Russians on the plus side have defened the Kerch bridge longer than I expected.

Why bother
at 19:28 21 Feb 2025

The governments add 25% or upto 40% extra for anyone paying into a private pension and employers contribute to workplace pensions. Their tax is taking it back with growth. It is therefore not that unfair. Tax benefit in and tax charge out.

I would recommend anyone with family y members in 18-39 to look at lifetime ISA. You can invest up to £4000 a year and get 25% extra and pay No tax if you use it to buy a house or use it as a pension. It is a gift from the Government. Smart rich people all have them. Put it in a S&P 500 tracker and it will fly.

No tax. The "Why bother" people do not bother and miss out. I never factored in HMG state pension as the demographics for baby boomer generation is not good.

Why bother
at 16:36 21 Feb 2025

Pensioners have lived through the great days and worked to end them by voting to end free trade with Europe.

Pension funds stocks and shares and housing have all flourished over ths last few decades.

People who have planned and invested in any of these things will have benefitted from government incentives such as tax benefits for housing and pensions. The Government encouraged people to do this. Some did and some did not. It is a free country. You get £1000 a month free of tax. Enough g for most. Many are claiming poverty struggling to heat £400k empty houses. UK love property.

Free school free university back then free health no TV Licence. It all adds up. Free bus pass.

If you have rented and not invested anything then you might find it tough. Others have done well and have to pay a little tax.

Trump haters of the forum
at 16:23 21 Feb 2025

USA is not the only show in town. UK has a number of huge mining firms that would welcome UK government support and will give Ukraine a much better deal than Trump presumably.

Glencore , BHP, Anglo American Rio Tinto all have the cash and knowledge.

Europe and UK need to get in there and compete. They should be offering decent terms not the insulting terms Trump has offered.

Europe needs to turn that $300 billion frozen Russian assets into weapons before any peace talks. Russia is out of troops and our of the tanks.

The tide may have turned with RF losing small amounts of ground in Proprosk and near Suzdja. The mighty Russian army has had Ukrainians on their oil van cannot shift them which is pretty pathetic.

Why has a St Patrick's day march stopped on safety grounds?
at 14:20 21 Feb 2025

The Wales is subsidised argument is largely a book keeping issue with the profits of Welsh workers reflected in accounts of companies based in London.

I have just come back from Bosnia which is an independent federal country of the same size and population with event greater challenges than Wales has. Welsh people would be worse off probably after independence. English people voted for Brexit understanding they could be worse off but went ahead anyway and are worse off.

Everyone is wrong most of the time. Bob was probably a half decent coach as suggested by his long record of employment. He had no chance at Swansea.

Fans do not know best as is indicated by the ownership group they own.

Marsch did not make good signings at Leeds but that would be outside his remit at Swansea.

Full Swansea City restructure
at 17:12 20 Feb 2025

Form falling off a cliff is a relatively recent situation.

One problem is that there are a raft of young 22-24 prospects have been brought in and many are showing very little improvement or even regression. Cotterill the most and he is home grown and in loan.

Ronald Eom Kuharevych Vipotnik Tymon Key. Williams has not progressed these players.

Swansea needs a manager that improves players.

Luke Williams : Coleman was like a madman : I’ve got more experience than all
at 13:16 20 Feb 2025

A lot of posters were completely wrong about Montague and Williams. Suggesting Williams had a free ride because they were mates was clearly a bogus analysis and fake. No surprise there.

I suggested that their relationship had no bearing and I'd f the results continued to be poor he still would get sacked especially after some unwise statements about the Chairman.

I started ted that in the forum the club would have to give the manager a " points target" which failing to achieve would have had consequences. In the end the target was not needed and Williams left with Montague' s approval.

2 tier keir wants to send troops to Ukraine
at 13:08 20 Feb 2025

He was voted for by the Ukrainian people who want to join the EU.

Some Russian speakers in the Donbass do not want to join the EU and got violent a encouraged by agitators. Many Donbass men are now dead or injured many towns have been reduced to dust. Scots wanted to stay in the EU and did not get violent.

Americans offered Zelensky a taxi. He said no. Trump wanted him to take it.

The Russians of the Donbass live in poverty and the men folk have been ravaged leaving widows. They were never very important. Many of their leaders have been bumped off either by Ukrainians or by the Russian mobs. The Russian nation has not been mobilised because they do not care much.

Trump is incompetent and is not able to organise a peace deal with his weak support staff. What will he do? Who knows? Europe can the ability to grab and ring fence $300 billion of Russian assets and need to get on with it and ignore Trump's words.
