    Summer Transfer Window

    Most of Allen's appearances were off the bench if memory serves. He didn't feature at all in the first four games of Sheehan's tenure and started just three of the rest. Calling him an important part of our survival is pushing it a bit. Fulton played more minutes. A lot more. Galbraith is 24...

    Summer Transfer Window

    Joe Allen spent most of his time at the club crocked. He's not exactly been a vital part of the team that needs replacing. If anything Kyle Naughton is the biggest gap in the squad as it stands. The club will be waiting on the prognosis for certain players with injuries. If they're expected...

    Sky Deal Has Negative Impact On Fans As Stoke City, Southampton And Wrexham Moved

    I'll raise my head above the parapet here and state that I much prefer a 12:30 KO on a Saturday, especially as Winter sets in. A half twelve kick off means that the game is done and dusted by half two, which gives people a couple of hours of daylight left to do other stuff if they wish. Or...

    Summer Transfer Window

    I would still expect the club to sign another striker, but they will want to move Yates on first. Wales isn't going to be the main man. At least not to begin with. I also think that the club are fairly relaxed on the situation and rate what we have more highly than the supporters do. We've...

    Summer Transfer Window

    We spent much of June being told how wonderful it was that we were doing things differently and being pro active in the market. Now apparently it's just the same as before. I wish people would make their minds up. The truth is that lots of football fans are mostly only happy when their teams...

    Summer Transfer Window

    Innit. The club has at least one striker that they want to get off the books if they can before adding another. If reports are to be believed we've committed the best part of £10m on players this window already (£5m Inoussa, £3m Widell, £300k Wales, plus Burgess will have had a big signing on...

    The Goalscoring Myth: A 20 goal striker is not a "must" for success

    Wasting seven months hoping that Luke Williams wouldn't turn out to be Russy Mk II was the undoing of us last season. Martin had Piroe and got nowhere. It's highly likely the same thing would have happened for Williams.

    The Goalscoring Myth: A 20 goal striker is not a "must" for success

    It's not just last season. For the most part only a handful strikers ever go past the 20 goal mark, and it's far from certain that the team with the most prolific striker goes up. Blackburn have been oddly successful at finding 20+ goal strikers, but it's not done them much good. One striker...

    Five Things We Learned from Swansea City's 1-0 Defeat at Exeter City

    From what I can tell we played some decent stuff and created enough chances/scored enough goals to win comfortably if not for a linesman determined that Exeter wouldn't lose a testimonial.

    Should we be concerned?

    Nah. It seems to me that, other than just for general fitness, Sheehan has mostly been using the pre-season to have a good look at some of the younger players, your Congreves and Wilsons. Trying to see if they can offer us something in the season to come before we make further moves in the...

    The Cult Hero Who Lit Up South Wales: Michu's Unforgettable Swansea City Chapter

    He certainly had the ability. No doubt about that. Not sure if the mentality was reliable enough for the level though. There were question marks over his ankles when we signed him in the first place. It's one of the reasons we got him so cheaply. The wife of an old colleague worked in the...

    The Cult Hero Who Lit Up South Wales: Michu's Unforgettable Swansea City Chapter

    I always kinda think that Bodde in the PL would have ended up a bit like Shelvey. Capable of moments of absolute genius, but also moments of complete insanity. Ultimately too mad and/or dim to be relied upon completely at that level, but it would have been fun to watch either way.

    I would be very surprised if Galbraith was brought in to play RB. Looks more like a LoB replacement to me.

    New Kit

    Think I read somewhere that his Great-Grandad was once Lord Mayor of Swansea. He certainly seems to be someone involved in a "making connections" sense and does apparently have small stakes in other football clubs. Perhaps he will come on board at some point.

    New Kit

    I note that the article mentions Steve Nash. He's a name that keeps popping up too.

    Summer Transfer Window

    This isn't a new thing with us. Jenkins used to be the same with contracts. It's one of the reasons why we lost both Pratley and DeVries for nothing when we got promoted to the Prem. Talks should start 18 months out from contract expiry. If nothing can be agreed by the 12 month stage then a...

    Summer Transfer Window

    And both were as a result of the way Williams was sending them out to play. It was a tactical choice for them to have swathes of empty space in behind them rather than any particular inability on either players part. Both looked a lot more solid once Sheehan changed things around. Having said...

    Ospreys sign on the swansea.com stadium

    When I was at school in the early 90's the kids used to arrange football matches themselves because the PE teachers for the most part were old school rugby obsessed types and weren't interested in doing anything else. We had a nice little four team league running at one point. In the cities...

    Ospreys sign on the swansea.com stadium

    I'm not much of a Rugby fan, but from what I can see management isn't the games biggest problem. Even before the Swans, and then Cardiff, climbed into the Premier League, there was more interest in football than rugby at the club level. Sure, The Millstad is still packed out for the Six...

    Ospreys sign on the swansea.com stadium

    There's not really anyone left to alienate. That seems to be the problem. If The Ospreys were still pulling in the crowds that they were when they were first formed then obviously they'd be one of those chosen, but they're not. Their attendances are worse than the Dragons if Google is correct...
