Looks like Harrison Murray Campbell coming in on loan. CB/RB

Makes you wonder why we don’t just bring Lissah back - surely more beneficial to give him game time than a Chelsea youngster who has zero senior appearances to his name

Probably the club is happy that he is getting consistent game time at Falkirk while if he was here he would mostly be behind Ward/Galbraith/Key in the pecking order.

Lissah is playing every week up in Scotland. If he came back here, he would probably be used sparingly - just being part of a match day squad is of no benefit to him now. He's better off staying there.

This Chelsea lad will be coming in probably to replace Casey but without the cup competitions, will probably do well to start a game. Especially with Joel Ward being added. Although for him, being in and around the squad on a match day will probably be a great experience for him. And for us, it is a bit of back up at likely a low price.

HMC will be coming to provide backup. No point stopping Lissah getting first team footy to sit on the bench for us. Finishing up at Falkirk and then a full pre season with us will do him the world of good

Lissah may not get game time here

 

[swannage]

He doesn't have zero apps either, he played 30 mins v shamrock in europe

That’s a fair point

But I would add we’ve brought in Ward & potentially Murray Campbell when Lissah could have covered both positions.

All it takes is Burgess, Cabango or Galbraith to take a knock and be out for a few weeks and there’s an opportunity there for someone to come in. Lissah would have been a good option to have - instead of Ward & a young loanee

Im more curious how Key fits into plans. Will Matos now use him more of a sub for Ronald role due to him being better at attacking than defending. With Ward and let's say a New RB, makes no sense to have Key in that role.

We better get a move on it's 10 past 6 and i'm getting nervous about our supposed done deals.

It is mad how its all left to the last minute. I understand why, but still nuts.

Samuels - Smith & Dan Watts were on the bench Saturday,
Samuel - Smith has had some game time .

It’s probably waiting for visas before the official announcement they can take a while to go through especially on deadline day

Bobby Wales loan move official

Bobby Wales seals loan move to Huddersfield Town | Swansea

Swansea City striker Bobby Wales has joined Huddersfield Town on loan for the remainder of the 2025-26 season.

This must mean we are bringing in a striker.

Otherwise it’s genuinely ludicrous.

There’s a even money chance Idah’s recovery will take longer than hoped for (they often do, or it’s ok for a short while then goes again) and that means we are a twisted knee away from having Cullen start and no one on the bench for six or eight games.

Plus we’ve lost two wingers (one brought in) albeit one was utterly useless and two centre backs (Santos is about to go as well as Casey) and are bringing in a youngster with next to no experience.

It’s odd to say the least.

By all accounts from what I can tell there is no replacement attacker coming in

Club seem happy to operate with Vipotnik as the main man, Cullen as backup with Idah on his return and Widell who can operate as a false nine as our options for the remaining five months or so.

Why? We still have Cullen and Idah is expected back in a month, we don’t need an extra striker for one month of cover.
