Marko Stamenic Set to Sign: Swans Bolster Midfield with Kiwi International

[Raynor94]

I keep reading people asking if Franco will be leaving now, can't fathom why people keep saying this!

Exactly we are building a squad not depleting it

When the midweek games start to bite we won’t have to over play players and can freshen things up without weakening us.

Last year, our rotation midfield (once Grimes left), was Fulton - O'Brien - Peart Harris. The evolution to what we have now is incomparible.

And each of them a massive upgrade on the slow laborious passing of Grimes the sideways.

Good to see this one over the line.
As others have said its not about replacing any of our current players but offering equivalent options when rotation/substitutions are required without a noticeable drop in quality.

This gives our midfield three now basically six options in:
Galbraith
Franco
Yalcouye
Widell
Stamenic
Fulton

In most games I can see us changing up two midfield positions, two wingers and the striker when the legs start to tire or when strategy requires a change of plan/shape
