Bring him home

 

[Swanjaxs]

Spuds will offer him another 12 months minimum, and he'll start at least 15 games next season, Ange still rates him.

 

[Magic_Michu]

Reckon he’ll get another deal at 32 in 2025?

 

[Swanjaxs]

Absolutely, bookmark away mate

 

[bakajack]

Model pro and one of the few star players who has left us and broke the Swansea curse to have a successful career.

 

[Smurph]

At the time of Neil Taylors injury, I thought it was last thing the team needed. Talk about grabbing an opportunity with both hands.

Listening to Ben there made me think about the changes around the club since we reached the Prem. Feelings on the old owners are obviously mixed given the sale, but at least they did use our time in the PL to totally transform the facilities at the club for the players. With Landore and Fairwood, I think it's fair to say Ben would be impressed if he did come back to play for us again.

Weren’t those facilities in place before he left? Too lazy to search and work out myself

He's been back to the Liberty a few times, for visits.

His father also attends virtually every home gain in Swansea

Ain't seen him in years nice guy, nice family. Ben played for Cwrt Herbet Colts, my team played them throughout the ages from 5 up to 16, a few went to Swansea, Ben was the only one that made it, he was there from the age of 6 or 7 from what I can remember.

His Father was a decent Rugby player, played for Seven Sisters for years, I think he played Cricket as well, can't remember his name now memory has gone to shit these days !

That's a good question, so did some searching online.

According to the official site, Landore opened in September 2013 and the extensions (to work towards Academy 1 status) were completed while Huw was still in charge, although I can't find the exact date: https://www.swanseacity.com/news/swans-open-new-academy-training-complex-facilities

I don't know when we started training at Fairwood, but there's a club video on Youtube showing off the investment and extension completed in January 2017, well before relegation:

Which of Landore and Fairwood do the first team mostly use, do you know?
