Swans Continue Chelsea Preparations
Swansea City are having a good close season it has to be said. Four quality signings and a fully fit squad means we are in a brilliant position as we continue to prepare for the season opener at Chelsea that is just five weeks away.
They have just about completed their first week of pre-season training and the squad have been put through their paces as we look to build on what was a record breaking term last time around.
Few would argue that there aren't many tougher ways to start the season than playing Chelsea at Stamford Bridge but then again we have to remember that we were one of only two sides to lead there in the league last season and of course we had the perfect start last season with a win at Old Trafford.
The Swans official you tube channel now has a video of the Swans in pre-season training so if you are getting withdrawal symptoms from watching the Swans then you can view this below.

Gwyn’s Eye View : Swansea City v MillwallGlyn is back with his favourite stats as we build up to the last game of the season. That comes in the form of Millwall who it seems are close to selling their requested 1,148 allocation, so its down to the Jack Army to do their bit this bank holiday weekend.
The fate today’s Swansea footballers would never have to endure Swansea City bring this season to a close on Saturday with a home game against Millwall. However, what about those bygone days when footballers had no choice but to go down the pit after their career ended, or open a toy shop, pub or retrain ? That thought would petrify todays modern footballer.
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.
