    Swans Emerge from Summer Slumber: Pre-Season Hopes and Tactical Teases

    A number of players will be looking to see if they can impress Sheehan and O'Dea - Congreve and Cotterill are jst two examples, while one wonders if a loan until the January window re-opens would be the best option for the likes of Lissah and Wilson when one considers how long they spent on the...

    The £10,000 Maestro: Angel Rangel's Swansea City Legacy

    Talk about people having the midas touch then Kevin Reeves is a perfect example during his relatively short time scouting for the Swans during the Martinez management era let alone the low cost of airline tickets back and for to European destinations courtesy of his wife's employment with a...

    Summer Transfer Window

    For those that can remember Oli's performances that led to a massive cheque for the club or for those that weren't around at that time, he is not only a goalscorer, a nuisance in the box, goes deep to link with his midfield / defenders and also is a hard worker who I would suspect fits the brief...

    Summer Transfer Window

    I think the mark of a player as far as the opposition is concerned is when they double or treble up on opposing danger men, and that's the situation that Ronald and Eom to a certain extent found themselves in matches. Every player has a price on their head and making a profit is what our club is...

    Swansea City Have Parted Ways with Head Coach Luke Williams

    Should it turn out that the photo of LW at Bristol airport is not a generated AI photo I will take my hat off to him. I don't think there have been many ex-footballers or head coaches who would have placed himself in the public domain. Best of luck Luke hope you get back in the game stronger and...

    Summer Transfer Window

    I would think that during the club's Premier League period the success rate in ex-academy players moving on to pro contracts was significantly higher than in the post PL period, especially in the last two seasons where there were far less ex-academy kids being signed by the Swans from other...

    Summer Transfer Window

    Former Swans Academy Head of Goalkeeping Martin Davies who returned to Cambridge United in October 2021 was instrumental in signing Ben Hughes after the Swansea born keeper impressed during trials at Landore in April 2021 to earn himself a 2 year scholarship contract in May 2021.

    Summer Transfer Window

    Despite the academy having a period of unsettlement where rumours about a return to Cat 1 and even to selling the Landore site, a further downgrade in category to 3, staff leaving, its quite remarkable that there is still promise amongst the academy’s young and hope that one or two could take...

    Summer Transfer Window

    There was nothing to choose between Ben and Joe Walsh as they battled it out for places during the season in the PL Reserve League, alternating every game - left side c/back and left back when Rodgers was head coach. Rodon had a useful learning curve on loan at Cheltenham but on one occasion was...

    Feel good factor..

    Far too early to get excited there have been too many false dawns since the K & L takeover, but for me its all about green shoots and take it from there. Quite refreshing to see recruits signed earlier than normal and also in offloading the Ukraine striker and TJ, all be it at a slight financial...

    Summer Transfer Window

    Didn't stand out in U21 games or the Caraboa Cup and along with Pedersen and Nathan Abbey, just poor recruitment. Hopefully gone are the days when we sign like minded players instead of giving Dabrowski, Lissah and Arthur Parker opportunities

    Summer Transfer Window

    Baker-Richardson signed when Potter was manager - a hard working front runner who didn't shy away from the physical side of the game and has had a decent career in League Two, with Newport last season.

    Swansea City: Navigating the Championship's Treacherous Waters in 2025/26

    I dare say we have all come across bots when dealing with companies on the net especially those more subtle companies who go to the enth degree to hide contact telephone numbers that enable one to actually talk to a human being. As I approach my mid-septuagenerian birthday I now know how my dad...
