Ayew's pre-season delayed return on 20:54 - Jun 25 by LeonisGod
That's not news! No worries at all. First game isn't for 6 weeks.
Sports teams have pre-season training for a reason. Nothing that is done during that period -- even the first hour of the first day -- is without value, otherwise the coaching staff wouldn't do it.
Monk's stated reason for having everybody there from day one is so that no-one starts from behind the others.
Anyway different clubs start their pre-season training at different times, for example I don't think that Arsenal begin theirs until two or three weeks after Swansea so I don't see much problem in some players coming back later. It's not a rigid schedule.
I understand your point about everyone starting together for the sake of team unity but it's not a major setback if it doesn't always happen.
If I remember correctly didn't Ki also have extended leave At the start of last pre season and it didn't do him any harm. Like others have said. Some will probably get more time off because of the internationals they had to play. So I don't see this as a bad thing. There's still a lot of pre season left after he comes and I don't think he will miss any games.

I'll stop there.
But Garry's the one who's given him the extra time. So it must be ok with him.

It makes no difference at all, Premier players are literally playing the whole year, the days of running up and down sand dunes and across country are long gone
You give it out, you take it back it`s all part of the game

Michu ?
Training starts Sunday and talks are due on Jul 1st I believe. He should therefore be here for training for 3 days prior to his meeting with Huw. I wonder if it will be that simple though.......

Isn't he (technically) still on loan with Napoli until July 1?

He was there today you can see him in this Swans TV video
Let me know if he's there continuously now, or takes a few days off this week. I truly hope it's the former and want him to be a resounding success for Swansea.
p.s. I refuse to be drawn into an argument on this, and plead that this thread was based on a report in the African media. [Not facebook, by the way.]
