Swans Past Present and Future 12:45 - Jul 9 with 1714 views | mattjenkins1990 | Hi All, I am a Newbie to planet swans and am Interested to gauge peoples opinions on the forthcoming season (I know its early doors). Will it be a successful one for the Swans ? Do you think the Swans will survive to see another premier league season ? Monk'ey and Co - How is he adapting to the managerial role ? Everything I can see looks positive, work rate seems to be high and he looks to be fully committed to the cause (as expected), i just hope he can build the unity required to get the best out of the team. I feel it is going to swing one of two ways. He will either be gone by the end of the season, or everyone will be raving about another inspired boardroom managerial decision, only time will tell i guess. On a more macro scale, I am liking the way the club is being managed. Investment in the youth as well as a solid financial structure will see the club prosper in the long term. It will minimise the chance of seeing the scenes experienced in the late 90's early 00's Survival of the club is the aim of the game. Players, Managers and Coach's come and go, but the way the board manage tricky situation and stick to core values fills me with admiration and hope for the future. Onto the present and the dreaded silly season: Transfers As far as i can see the big transfer stories so far seem to be: Transfers Outgoings Michu, Canas, Poz, Hernandez, Davies and Vorm Incomings Gomis, Kingsley, Emnes, Fabianski as well as a few youth players. Maybes Besic, Montero, JDG, Sigurdsson. What are peoples thoughts on this, is this strengthening our squad or is it a step back ? My personal opinion (in ideal world) i would hang onto Michu and Davies. I do appreciate though if Michu's heart is not in it then we should sell, it has been going on a while now and the speculation isn't good for the club. Particularly surrounding a talisman player. I would not blame Davies for wanting to try and fill Bale's shoes (Young Welshman at Spurs) especially under a manager who is renound for bringing on young talent. Plus he will get paid more which is never bad. Didn't see much from Poz, too lightweight. Hernandez had a good end to the season, but is getting older and injuries will just get worse Canas was OK but if part of the spanish rebellion, than no quarms with letting him go. In terms of incomings i think so far so good, rate Gomis and Fab. Emnes has to show a bit more, but i think he does have the ability just needs to have confidence. The potential signings show good intentions too, young talented internationals for the future. I think we will hold onto Bony, unless a silly bid comes in. Overall i am Happy with how things are going (other than the sponsor logo on the kits) and am getting very excited for the new season. Any thoughts from the Swansea Fan base ? Sensible replies please, i didn't write to just get abused. Cheers, Matt. | |
