People, not you, are twisting what I suggested out of shape. I specifically said young footballers earning a couple of grand a week, they want the nightlife, clothes boutiques, car dealerships that match their pay slip. Makes no odds what we think about it, we are talking young, rich people that want that life.

Aye, I don't disagree at all. I went to London for bright lights when I was 21, and I didn't have tuppence

Have chatted to hundreds of students over the years in my line of work , and generally always ask them the same 2 questions. " Are you enjoying your time in Swansea " and " Did you know much about Swansea before you came here" . This one particular young girl said that she was thoroughly enjoying her time here and didn't know much about the place when she arrived here. She also said when her parents visited her for the 1st time and were being shown around Mumbles and the Gower , they were having a heated debate as to which one was to blame for not picking Swansea as a holiday destination before. Most people outside of Swansea that arrive here are very complimentary about the place, saying how friendly the people are here, and a surprising amount of people that I've spoken to over the years are still here, long after their student days are finished.

I have similar thing with few friends who went to uni in Swansea. It's been nearly 20 years since they have been there, yet they talk so highly of the place and always come back even for a visit to walk down the mumbles.

Anynody else starting to get annoyed with the lack of movement now. The aim of every window for the last 2 years has been to sign a RW and we've failed every single time. It cannot be this hard.

The owners clearly stated it was going to be a quiet window at the beginning of the month

Quiet is fine it seems like we're targeting 3 positions which is sensible. But the RW/Ronald problem has been ongoing since he joined 2 yrs ago and we haven't fixed it.

Not sure what part of quiet transfer window you can't grasp.

January is a notorious window for transfers.

No.

I think we’ll need to bring in a CB whatever happens, need to get cover for Casey leaving. Not sure how much scope there is to do anything else. Think the owners/club only want to do deals if that player would definitely improve us like Rak-Sakyi would have.

Not really, it will likely go down to the last day.
It's a tough window and we struggled in it last January to get deals over the line and led to Williams talking publicly about it.
We are aiming for a defender,Winger and a striker and I expect to see atleast 2 in.

Defender will certainly be cover aswell as a striker(if signed).

The other 2 would be nice but aslong as we get a RW in I'm happy. I'm just sick of getting to a match day and having to watch Ronald for the last 2 years now.

He'll probably score tonight now

Ward can cover CB for the remaining 18 games.
