Planet Swans ArchivesAt the end of the season I suspect almost every Swans fan would have told you that a quality goalkeeper, left back and forward options would be the places that needed the priority when we were discussing potential targets.
And with the captures of Nordfeldt, Tabanou, Ayew and Eder gives us just that part as we build a squad that can compete and challenge the record breaking mark that we set last season.
More importantly for me is that we have not lost any of our key players and – bar some small speculation over Ash, Jonjo and Nathan – we haven’t really had any interest in the players that took us to that highest ever 8th place last season.
So as it stands now – five weeks before the season starts – I think we can class this season as our best yet. In previous years since our promotion back to the top flight we have made some brilliant transfers in the summer months but this is the first time I can remember where each of the captures to date have a great chance of seeing plenty of first team football next season.
Of course with someone like Kristoffer Nordfeldt then that may only be if Fabianski is off form but you have to know as well that signing will keep Fabianski on his toes given the fact that we now have a viable alternative – and an international one at that.
If you now look through the squad then you know fully we have a group of players who can all step into the team as and when they are needed and much credit should go for that to the manager who has a clear vision of what he wants from his players and which targets he needs, he just lets the Chairman do the rest to secure them.
These are massively exciting times again at Swansea and the next five weeks cannot pass quick enough just to back up what I think is our best summer yet.
