Fox Should Be Fit For Arsenal

When Danny Fox had to pull out of Scotland's game against Serbia it started alarm bells ringing around St Mary's

Danny Fox has spoken about the groin injury that ruled him out of a game for his country on Saturday, the injury that has been dogging him for a year flared up again forcing his withdrawal from the squad.

He is going to have an injection in it on Monday, something that he isn't looking forward to, he conceded on Soccer AM on Saturday, but although he feels that he wont be fit to rejoin the Scotland squad for their game against Macedonia on Tuesday, he is hopeful that he will be fit for the trip to Arsenal next Saturday.

This will be a relief to Nigel Adkins as the only other option he perhaps has at left back if Fox was not to be fit would be Luke Shaw, although Shaw is highly rated and has reportably been the subject of bids from both Arsenal themselves and Chelsea, the Emirates is not the place to throw in a youngster whose total first team experience is 13 minutes against a poor Coventry side in the FA Cup plus a game against League One opposition in Stevenage, Shaw will be a decent player, but many an exciting prospect has been ruined by being played before they are ready because of high expectation, although ironically I would say if he did play, Shaw could be in direct opposition to former Saint Theo Walcott, who I would say, career's been if not ruined affected negatively by Arsene Wenger's failure to give him enough games.

Will the Swans learn from their mistakes ?
He’s back because he’s a Jack, the Butty man reappears, the snivelling skurvied outcast clinging to life like the barnacle he is. A salt ridden death reincarnated, yes, just like the club he supports from two hundred years ago, now called Swansea it was then called something else …

Bar the Macaulay Langstaff news there has been little of any concrete info in the offing this week. Mind you that alone caused a stir. Between now and the transfer window opening on June 14th, which is the date for the European Championships to start there will be little to speculate on.
Swansea City : Top striker target in the Swans sights, the full lowdown

With the Swans retained list about to be named, generally around the 18th of the month, we take a look at those who stay, and their value to the club. The players who have the determination to turn next season in to more than a passing parade and a dismal home loss record.
Swansea City : The confusing decision making for a whole season
It was a pretty poor end to what can only be described as a disappointing football season for Swansea City. The defeat to Millwall yesterday was a display that has frustrated Swansea City supporters all season. A lack of effort, intensity and desire rewarding the home support with yet another home loss.
