The Summer Transfer Window Thread

If we’re waiting for confirmation, then surely we’ve done everything right ourselves?

Apparently paperwork was all submitted before the 7pm deadline
Theres been a huge influx of deals to sort out at the FA though so some will likely dribble through over the course of the day

Judging by the Adam Idah interview on the club site,the Premier League return is the firm ambition from the owners .
I don't recall it being stated so directly by previous regimes,and looking at the recruitment the owners are making a much more positive attempt at shifting us from mid-table to at least have some chance of progress.

 

[Swanjaxs]

They didn't get the replacement for Idah?

It's basically a meltdown, managed to get a player through the door at the eleventh hour, a winger. A club with 120 million pounds in the bank, with a board that has a biscuit tin mentality. Rogers will be walking away at the end of the season for sure. Embarrassing.

Burnley have confirmed Benson move to us this morning.

All done.

Hopefully Manuel Benson will give us a extra gear on the wing

 

[01swans]

Anyone know if Benson is actually in Swansea? Or did he do medical remotely?

 

[Andrew - North Hill]

Time will tell how much of an impact our new players will have, but what is beyond any question is we now have proper, serious people in charge who actually know what they're doing. They have a plan, and they know how to execute it.

For me, this window is a sign that the club is finally on the up again, after years of lies and bullshit from our previous owners.

A heartfelt thank you to the current ownership group for giving us hope again.

Agreed and I said as much on Phil's article earlier.

Now that the Kaplan clown car has left the car park this was our first proper window under the new ownership and I can't help but be impressed with their efforts.

Next summer won't be anything near as crazy as this window was for us, but the amount of work they put in and the players they managed to shift out and bring in was incredible.

Not every player will be a hit and there's bound to be some misses but to put us into the position we currently are compared to where we ended last season is night and day from the previous regime.

If he turns out to be a good loan for us, then this works in our favour. However, the fact that these kind of shenanigans with transfers between clubs with the same owners (similar with Watford owners and the Red Bull owned clubs) are apparently fine with the powers that be, while Crystal Palace were relegated to the Conference League because of their ownership situation doesn't look good.

I am not following this Ishe story with any great effort, but it’s not clear to me whether he belongs to Chelsea or Strasbourg? What’s the story?

Chelsea again, apparently.

 

[Cooperman]

Chelsea again, apparently.

The word ‘again’ is probably quite telling. Either way, Chelsea or Strasbourg, let’s hope it’s a loan which adds some value.

Unlikely to be an automatic starter though.
