| 🔴 Swans News Update signings etc … 02:27 - Jul 11 with 6134 views | KeithHaynes |
We were sitting on news of a midfield arrival on Sunday, and I have to say I’m glad we did. It’s not about being first it’s about being accurate. And fair play Liam did some astonishing work on the Franco signing. He has a year left on his agreement to be with us as we do his CPD for his university course, I have to say there is more likelihood of him being retained for an extra year than Jamie Paterson.
On Sunday, (it’s on the news page ) we said this. Sometimes we do rely on our readers to ‘read’ between the lines. Once again, as we saw on Tuesday, Franco came to fruition. That’s below.
On Sunday we called a halt to all this willy waving nonsense you see from certain Twitter accounts, some who seem very well informed in hindsight. In fact it’s been our common strategy for 18 months. We will do the odd exclusive. But this time of year people forget the news of a few days ago, social media isn’t really good for you, it’s a bitter and twisted place and confuses many.
What we have before us today is information on a goalkeeper and forward / striker, and that by next Thursday ‘the hope’ will be they can be ready for the Austrian training camp. On Eom Ji-Sung and Franco it’s been suggested that the club may well favour a double signing press release. Both are here by all accounts and both should be announced very shortly. Yes there can be hiccups, in the case of Eom those have melted away, however we’ve been informed Gwangju FC are still believing he is their player, despite the deal being signed. I suppose their enthusiasm for him to do well and know everything about him settling in Wales isn’t helping. But he isn’t their player, and yes we were right when we speculated on the Eom deal and the possibility it was so drawn out and difficult with Gwangju FC being extremely frustrating. We’ve been told the work put in by the Swans took so long and was so protracted it’s up there with any signing the club has gone through in the last six years. That to the extent Swans head coach, Luke Williams provided them with a complete training picture, and how he would be using Eom in the first team. The finances as well were very drawn out as our reports on the news page will display. We shouldn’t forget the clubs (in South Korea) officials wanting to draw out the signing even longer by having more discussions in person.
Thankfully that was the straw that broke the Swans back and they put their foot down firmly.
Franco has been a lot easier, hence us being told he is actually here for his medical part two. By ‘here’ we have to assume Swansea. We have been told his fee is agreed as is his salary, so the medical procedure should be completed within the next 24 hours. We do hope the Swans get in next weeks two targets sharpish, we did report Luke wanted all his key players in Austria with him, and the club seem to be trying to make that happen.
That’s it folks
I’m going to the beach. Obviously not at the time of writing, it’s too dark.

My late father was the chairman of Bridgend Town in the 1980s. A very promising local lad called Sean McCarthy was desperate to join the Swans following an enquiry.
My father was a Swans fan and didn’t want to put any obstacles in Sean’s way so he agreed a deal with Doug Sharpe that the transfer fee would be two sets of first team kits for Bridgend. They shook hands on the deal.
McCarthy went on to have a decent career, even scoring in the Premier League.
Bridgend Town’s two kits never turned up… |  | | |
