Just some thoughts
at 17:59 6 Jan 2018

I've been following Swansea City from quite some time now and although I just comment on forums from time to time, it's sad to see what's happening after how far we've come (allow me the audacity of saying "we" even though Swansea is not and will never be my main club - which is FC Porto since I was born and until I die). I watch games everytime I can, and try to follow news and updates on at least a weekly basis.

Let me start by saying we have now (finally!) a decent coach. I've been following his career since he started having good seasons here in the second division (with LeixÃµes) and I strongly believe he will be capable of avoiding relegation, even with the lack of talented players in the team.

I never understood Swansea's strategy when it comes to transfers. As a portuguese football fan, I must say we only hire shit from here! Nelson Oliveira, Renato Sanchez, Eder (lol!). There are lots of talented players out there, specially on the national league, and the scouting choices are just ridiculous. Then, we burn millions on a couple of players every season and surround them with below average choices for the rest of the positions. It's like that guy that lives in a falling shed but has a BMW parked outside. And I'm not even including in this argument the Renato's deal, which is a joke.

You don't have money to buy good ones? Get two or three good loans until you do! We need to invest in young, cheap players looking to chase the premier league dream at the same time. Bet on good players from portugal, croatia, serbia, etc. which are a low risk/high chance bet.

Carvalhal must be given two or three good pieces to allow him to at least stand a chance and make good things happen. And please don't burn 13M â‚¬ on another bad choice, get some scouting staff ffs.
