Rebuild, Not Roulette: Swansea’s Summer of Intent

There’s a difference between throwing darts and drawing blueprints. For Swansea City, the 2025 summer transfer window wasn’t a scattergun scramble. It was a

Well done Phil.
A balanced assessment. Well written.

They didn't get the replacement for Idah?

All done.

Talks of Iheanacho on a free after his contract was terminated, but the bloke scored 1 in 15 for M'boro last year and 5 in 23 for a title winning Leicester team in 23/24. Not exactly lit the world alight for years.

Can someone clear this up as it appears he joined RC Strasbourg for 7.5 million at the end of July, but has now rejoined Chelsea to get loaned instantly out to us?

This stinks of some sort of FFP work around for them.

Clive I know you’re old enough to be my grampa but it’s a worrying sign to see you replying to yourself.

Ooops

If we get Benson now we will have two excellent players for every position as long as (a) we play a single striker and (b) we draw a line under Fisher’s past howlers and give him a second chance (I’m happy to do that). Appreciate that others have pointed this out previously, but my question is when was the last time we could say that? Last season in the EPL?

(And yes, I do appreciate that not all of these players may turn out to be as great as we hope, but for now can we assume they are until proven otherwise?)

Too often when a player has a bad time at a club, it's due to the manager not utilizing that player to their abilities, not necessarily the player at fault.

Under Alan Sheehan I'm seeing someone who will give players a fair shake and explore their uses... It's early doors yet, sure, but I've not been this optimistic about the team since the Laudrup era. COYS!

It appears it was originally on the Burnley site but got taken down. Was the medical a problem I wonder?
