No need to apologize . I saw him make mugs out of the Welsh boys in the Euro's and get a £36 m quid move, doesn't mean he's awesome but i tdoes mean he has talent, he's definitely lost his way though ! If you had read past the first 3 words you'd see i classed him as one of our worst signings in a long time, John Bond said the same of Dean Saunders too. Football is a funny old game just a shame he's been dispointing with us . | ![](/images/avatars/13184.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

I think when all of europes top clubs are trying to sign you there must be something of note they see and like and think they can develop. He was linked with a lot of top clubs like Juventus,Man utd , Bayern etc. While we can rightly say and judge him on his time here that he's been awful/disappointing we can't say fully he is without talent. I don't think you become the most sought after young player unless there is talent, how that talent is fully extracted or if it ever will be is another question . I don't think top clubs get it wrong as often as our DOF does. They employ the top scouts and many were after him, he's lost his way and perhaps may never develop from where he is . Clement should have had enough insight to see if he was worth the move or not, he obviously thought he was. It's all a bit gutting really, i thought he'd be a cracking signing and he's been poor so far, no hiding from it. | ![](/images/avatars/13184.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Honestly i just remember him driving at our team in the second half and Joe Allen having been carded couldn't get close . [Post edited 6 Jan 2018 17:24]

Fair enough. I can’t remember him doing much at all I do remember all the commentators talking about as if he was something special and wondering why. | ![](/images/avatars/8644.gif) |

Came to us thinking he would be our saviour because of his Bundesliga “success” These primadonnas need to realise, this is the best league in the world. You can’t come here giving the big I AM. You’ll fall flat. |

I am. The fact we were able to sign a player like this in such demand and high regard is encouraging. Some things dont work out, some do. Keep doing the right things is all we can ask, and if Clement thought he could get his confidence back then it was the right thing to do. I will never slag the club off for this signing, it was one that simply had to be made. | ![](/images/avatars/21008.gif) |

WTF Sanches??? on 18:16 - Jan 6 with 2088 views | obikwas | Renato is not ready for the Premier League as he was not ready for Bayern as he was not ready to leave Benfica. We're talking about a press overhyped player here in Portugal (our press hypes every single player they can from Benfica, but that's a long story and a even longer post) which had a very good half season in the first division. Yes, HALF A SEASON! The lack of good choices in Benfica's main team (specially due to injuries), and the good season he was having in the second league with Benfica B, made their manager try him in the main squad and he succeeded. He had a great second half of the season and was then chosen to be part of the Portuguese squad at the Euro 2016. The way we played created the right environment for Renato to shine: he didn't have to worry about defending as we had midfielders way to good at defending, allowing him to play free in front of them. But it was all too fast and I bet Bayern quickly understood the error they made. He will be on loan to clubs in the Jorge Mendes spectrum (Valencia, Atletico, Wolves, etc..) and with some luck maybe he can still live up to his hype and turn his raw talent into something more. He has to work a lot and maybe he'll get there. But he was not and is not what Swansea needs so we should do whatever we can to get rid of him, get some money back and replace him with a viable pick. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Is it a serious question though? or are you going to descend this conversation into a farce again? That is usually was ''serious question'' means. I will take you on face value and answer though. He wasn't getting any game time at Munich, something we have seen many times in world football as a youngster moves to a giant club too early. I think Munich wanted him to be the finished article, he still needed games to grow and learn which he wasn't afforded. To be labelled the next big thing to not being able to get a game clearly affected him in what was a prime developmental stage of his career. It hasn't worked though, he has a serious problem to face now and it is a mental one not an ability one. | ![](/images/avatars/21008.gif) |
