All Change At The Liberty
Comings and Goings At Liberty |
It's been one of football's worst kept secrets again but Rory Fallon today completed his £300,000 move to Plymouth Argyle almost a year since he joined from Swindon for the same figure.
After a week of "he has" "he has" and "he has again" both clubs confirmed the deal on Friday morning with the striker straight into the squad for Plymouth's live Sky TV game against Coventry on Monday night.
Things never really worked for Fallon at Swansea with goals at a premium and many of the crowd on his back for his performances and the move was probably best for all concerned.
Speculation immediately started on the message board as to who would replace Fallon at Swansea with names ranging from Championship strikers through League One strikers, Irish strikers and pretty much anyone you can think of who could contemplate coming here
The club will be well aware of the need to fill the hole left in the squad from Rory's departure.
Meanwhile Mark Howard has signed a one month loan deal to join the Swans from Cardiff - he will provide the cover for Andy Oakes who is injured so expect some bench warming in the next month
And Gavin Williams, a Swansea target (rumoured) has been told he can leave Ipswich after falling out of favour with boss Jim Magilton.

What to read next:
Brave Swans in memorable game at Carrow Road It was a pulsating game to watch and very much one of my favourite away games of the season. The Swans looked an entirely different side to that we saw at Middlesbrough when it is clear a catalyst for commitment was agreed behind the scenes at Swansea City. To a man every player grafted and
wore the shirt with pride. To see the players really acknowledge the Swans support at Carrow Road this afternoon was emotional.
Swansea reject Cullen contract and trigger one year option Liam Cullen has had his request for a new contract dismissed by Swansea City after discussions broke down last week. The lowest paid ‘senior’ player at the club ( he is twenty five) asked for a better contract increasing his £3,500 a week to around £7,000 a week over three years.
Sam Parker hasn’t turned down a new deal, he is willing to negotiate He was a revelation for the Swans for the few games he played this season, and now it emerges Sam Parker has ‘turned down’ a new Swansea City contract. News is thin on the ground, and some of it just incorrect as he looks to involve his representatives in some further negotiations. Plus his current contract runs for two more years.
Swansea City : The vision is clearer, so Jamal Lowe ? There were some worrying moments for the Swans yesterday, on three occasions mistakes from playing out from the back nearly saw the home side score. And is there now a case for Jamal Lowe to be offered a contract at Swansea ?
