I think he&#8217;s a good player. I&#8217;ve watched quite a lot of him. I watched him when he was a young lad coming through. But he&#8217;s not the only left-back we&#8217;ve been talking to.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If I told you about every bid we&#8217;ve had, and again, it&#8217;s boring.\u00a0 We&#8217;ve had loads of bids turned down. We&#8217;ve had loads of bids accepted that have been turned down by the player in terms of personal terms.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Moving onto Davis, Duff added &#8220;He&#8217;s a player that&#8217;s been mentioned to us, I think every club in the league would be interested in someone like him. Whether anything happens with it, I don&#8217;t know.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ll have a catch-up with Paul Watson Wednesday. I&#8217;m due a three or four-hour meeting with Paul tomorrow just to find out where we are. As you can imagine, the phone&#8217;s been buzzing in my pocket the whole game. I&#8217;m not in a position to check my phone during the game. So I&#8217;ll touch base with Paul.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Without labouring the point, we know we need a few people in and hopefully we&#8217;ll get that. If we don&#8217;t, we don&#8217;t. It is what it is. We just have to try and improve every day.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"getty aligncenter\"><a id='CKs9s3PfSlJg6bR9Ql1CpA' class='gie-single' href='http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1632193849' target='_blank' style='color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;'>Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'CKs9s3PfSlJg6bR9Ql1CpA',sig:'yfYi18d_ZloMmzhRla7_qvDRdCsnkqO3DfFPaQvAS7Y=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1632193849',caption: false ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Michael Duff and Paul Watson will sit down today to discuss the plans for the final few days of the transfer window as the Swans boss looks over where he believes his squad needs strengthening.
