Swans And Man City Urged To Reach Agreement
Swansea and Manchester City have been urged to put to an end the Emyr Huws saga
Huws has been banned for competitive football for 12 months as the two sides argue over the compensation that the Swans are due
And FAW development director Osian Roberts has urged both sides to come to an agreement with the player being the most important factor in the whole discussion
Roberts told the Western Mail “The shame for me is that officially he hasn’t played since last Christmas and that can’t be good for his development
“That is my only concern because for all the rights and wrongs of the situation, there is a 15-year-old lad in the middle of it.
“I only hope his progression hasn’t been affected by all this.
“Hopefully the both clubs can come to an agreement and it can all be put to bed.
“You can see why they are standing their ground because they have invested in young players,” he said.
“They will want to be rewarded if they are going to lose them.
“You are not going to stop bigger clubs attracting the best players, but the clubs who invest in these boys should be compensated at the appropriate level.
“It would be the same if Swansea were to take a player off a club like Carmarthen in the Welsh Premier.
“It works both ways.
“But as always the most important thing in these situations has to be the player.”

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 ?
