Mykola & Yates

What is the situation with these two now?

Looking to sell, keep or loan again?

Both have 1 year left on contract with us. With Derby staying in Championship, and their manager confirming that he would want him to stay, Swansea will offload him this Summer. Mykola will also go unless he suddenly shows Sheehan something. Which I doubt. When Sheehan took charge of us first time round, Mykola was not favoured by him then. Mad to think how long Mykola has been with us since 2023 and non of our managers liked him.

Begs the question what Paul Watson saw in Myko to not only buy him, but decide he was worth £2m

What about Bianchini? Didn't we stump up £3m for him? It's obvious Sheehan doesn't fancy him.

I think he will be another one to move on or loan.

Yep, they're still rubbish

I think it’s fair to say our transfer business has been a little bit shit lately. The worst of it is failing to get people in, but we’re not doing great when we eventually manage that.

Hopefully Coleman is nowhere near it now.

Franco, and to a lesser extent Vigeroux, have been welcome exceptions to the sh*tshow. They show what’s possible.

Maybe it’s just me, but I feel Myko has not been given a fair crack, by that I mean a good run of games. I saw him play at Millwall in 2023- we won 3-0, and he offered us something different, he could hold the ball up and bought others into play.
I’m surprised we didn’t utilise him more when chasing games for example and go a bit more route one.

Are you Pam Ewing? Coleman has relinquished control - come on keep up. I think our most recent transfer activity has been very good business. Mykola and Yates were a symptom of getting people in way too late and having to pay over the odds for mediocre players. We are now ahead of the curve so shopping will be a bit easier , maybe a bit cheaper but with high quality goods this time out. A word on Coleman, he tried his very best and had his heart in the right place but he just had no experience. Everything has changed and changed quite suddenly for the better.

I think you need to dial that down for the time being. This summer is the first Coleman-free window we've had since the takeover. The recent appointments in the football department have been encouraging but the proof is always in the actual pudding itself. Let's see how they do before rushing to conclude we've got better.

It's seriously unrealistic to think every transfer will work out though, isn't it?

Plus, they are all judged retrospectively. I don't remember many complaints when Yates was brought in. Successful at Blackpool, goal poacher, seemed right up our street. Personally I don't believe Vip or Cullen are much, if any, better than him at finishing chances.

I watched Yates' highlights reel when he signed and was totally underwhelmed. His goals for Blackpool were a mixture of penalties and scruffy tap-ins. I don't rate Cullen or Vip highly, but they're better than Yates, IMHO.

Agree with Andrew too early to tell if we are improved under new management on transfers. The signs are extremely encouraging especially the fact that we seem to be shopping in a higher purchase price window this summer.

But at the end of the day we have only 1 new signing from this team as yet. Inoussa.
Widell, was under Coleman regime and
Latest on Wales is there are still things to be sorted out with the deal being rated as highly likely.

Widell was under the current scouting team I believe.

I know. Just differentiating between Coleman calling the shots and Montague/Gorringe
