I don’t doubt he’s good enough for a spot up front on Saturday for us.

He’s scored a few since he left us.

Rule number one - never bring your girlfriend when you go out on loan.

Spot on and it wanst until his second season at Coventry did he start to "shine"
Its not the first time its happened at Swansea and doubt it will be the last....what about certain John Bond "giving away" Dean Saunders who was subsequently the subject of a couple of million pound transfers and played for Liverpool.

I think Brighton will be feeling sicker than us. True we could have easily signed him up, but Brighton got rid for the same price we sold Whittaker for!

He was awful for us

Swansea Indepenent Poster Of The Year 2021. Dr P / Mart66 / Roathie / Parlay / E20/ Duffle was 2nd, but he is deluded and thinks in his little twisted brain that he won. Poor sod. We let him win this year, as he has cried for a whole year. His 14 usernames, bless his cotton socks.

Nope, and seems Brighton didn't rate him either, 3 goals in his loan spell at Coventry, but then signed permanent and was on fire.

The rest is history

He just didn't like being on loan, he's the type that needs to be loved and have a settled contract.

You're right, he wasn't. The fact that he did eventually develop into a very good player is just something that happens.

Everyone seems to want to give Steve Cooper and Russel Martin free passes. Both deserted the ship and do not really deserve to be given the benefit of the doubt. Martin did not even get his new employers pay his compensation fee. SFC were reportedly due to close the deal then having seen the clauses delayed his appointment.

Gyorkeres then, is possibly Kukharevych and Vipotnik now.?

Steve himself said. "There is a real good player in there". So why did he not sign him for the long term? It was because he was not bothered with the long term" at Swansea and was already eyeing bigger jobs perhaps?.

Presumably the clubs scouts have said that "there is a real good player in there" about Kukharevych and Vipotnik?

It is THE JOB of the manager to see potential and develop it. The club have invested a lot of energy into Cullen and if he does not pull his socks up he will walk at the end of the season.

Vipotnik needs to play every week and develop an understanding with the team and get sharper. A striker will come in on loan in January presumably.

Williams cannot be fussy. Potter had no qualms about playing Baker Richardson who was not a world beater. He did score four goals in 20 appearance mostly as substitute. Cullen's last goal was a sharp finish from a ricochet not a crisp passing move.

Is it the job of the manager?
A lot of the time these days they aren't "the manager" but "first team coach" or any number of variants on that.
The club have back room staff, such as Director of Football, who are there to ensure continuity throughout the Club. They are there to ensure that decisions are made that are the best for the long term future of the club and to look beyond the immediate needs of the first team, such as long term recruitment plans.
The first team coach is there to get results in the here and now.
We have spent a lot of money on youngsters who aren't quite ready, but there is belief that they coukd make it.
Some do, many don't. Very few go on to be €100m strikers.
We were offered him for £1M, someone dropped a big one and I don't think it was entirely the managers fault

That summer, rather than spend £1m on Gyokeres who had spent 6 months at the club and we had had a good look at. We spent £2M on Michael Obafemi, who we had only done a bit of scouting on.
Not only was he more expensive, he was also rather too similar to Piroe who we also signed that summer.
We would have had a front 2, with Gyokeres at 6 foot 2 and a smaller Piroe behind him at number 10.
Rather than a short, but quick, Obafemi and short Piroe, that ne er really worked well together.

Obafemi was highly rated at the time and recommended by a guy called David Hughes(ex Cardiff defender) who was doing a bit of scouting for us.
I had a bit of stick off DrP and AC about this as they tried to claim I was wrong.......its absolute truth though.

He might have been highly rated, but we signed Piroe at the same time. How did they anticipate them working together given their playing styles?
