Jenkins revealed that the Swans were close to one or two signings but the players elected to remain with their clubs until the summer and he also confirmed that the Swans have plans in place for that summer spending.<\/p>\n
“Michael and I looked weeks ago at what we felt we needed to do in January and one of the things he wanted sooner rather than later was to sign Roland Lamah,” Jenkins told the Evening Post.<\/p>\n
“We got that done as early as we could, and there were one or two other things which we worked on behind the scenes.<\/p>\n
“Ideally we might have got the players in during January, but in a couple of cases the players who we felt were right for us wanted to stay with their current clubs until the summer.<\/p>\n
“We will review the situation then, but they are things we have worked on and we feel we have put ourselves in a good position.<\/p>\n
“We have planned these things in readiness for the summer.<\/p>\n
“Hopefully, when the transfer window opens again, we can get things done quickly. Hopefully we can make sure we get our squad together before our pre-season trip — that’s our aim.<\/p>\n
“We were both pleased that we were not in a scramble trying to bring players in at the end of the transfer window and Michael is happy with his squad,” Jenkins added.<\/p>\n
“We made the decision between us that selling Danny was the right decision to make at that time, and now we move on and get ready for the summer.”<\/p>\n
Jenkins concedes that a new striker will be a top priority come the end of 2012-13 — but says Swansea will be no different from any other Premier league side on that score.<\/p>\n
“I think nearly every club who are aiming to compete at the top end of the Premier League will be looking for forwards who can add something different,” he said.<\/p>\n
“We will be looking to go down that road, and Michael is confident we can get the players we want in the summer.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
