Done Deal:Swansea paid $78 million for a star.
Swansea City has made headlines with a blockbuster signing, securing a star player for a substantial $78 million. This move marks a significant investment by the club, reflecting their ambition to elevate their performance in the league. The acquisition of such a high-profile player is expected to have a transformative impact on the team’s dynamics and overall quality.
The new signing, whose identity remains closely guarded, has been a standout performer in their previous league, showcasing remarkable skills and consistency. The hefty price tag underscores the player’s value and the club’s commitment to achieving success. Swansea’s management has been meticulous in their scouting, identifying this player as a crucial asset for their future ambitions.
The financial outlay of $78 million is one of the largest in the club’s history, illustrating their readiness to compete at a higher level. This investment not only bolsters Swansea’s squad but also signals their intent to challenge the top contenders and secure a stronger position in the league.
Fans and pundits alike are eagerly anticipating the impact of this signing. If the player delivers on their potential, the move could prove to be a game-changer for Swansea City, potentially shifting the balance of power in their favor. As the season progresses, all eyes will be on Swansea to see how this significant acquisition influences their performance and their aspirations for the future.
Plenty (thousands) of patriots there this weekend, spin off concerts right wing against the Rebellion punk festival which pulls in many thousands as well. Going to be a hot night. Winter Gardens has closed its doors to protect staff and guests.

Seems that the Swans are still interested in loaning out Mykola for the right price, had that from a good source this morning. Injury record is a stumbling block. Two loans are under discussion, but that striker gap (could be two soon) is proving difficult on a permanent basis. Finances are very much proving an issue due to the reduced salary the Swans want to pay.
Looks like the club will dip into the loan market again.
On simple maths the Swans are in the black regards reduced salaries, players out, money in. However, the excessive costs running the club are not going away, but they are reduced.
Expect more dilution of shares despite the early talk there wouldn’t be more and the Swans are open to new investment. Coleman does have a budget which it seemed relied upon a positive return on club running costs. It seems atm losses could run to 15m next declarations, which is a big improvement.
The issue of course is getting the players in to make any dent on the top six, as it stands the club are fully aware that the squad is far too light and can’t compete over a season. Plenty of knock backs in recruiting players, but more talks this week. Brett Cravat has instigated a very precise analytical database which the Swans are utilising. Not dissimilar to Brighton and other Championship clubs, however they are shopping in different markets and have limited range. An example will be Tommy Conway at Bristol City who the club have looked at but his price and salary is way too much.
Personally I think we will see some form of news towards the end of this week, however it is clear the desire to complete business before the season starts hasn’t worked. Purely down to finances.
