How Did We Do In The Transfer Window

It seems like ages since we did the main transfer dealings in this window and there is a clear reason for that - it is, thanks mainly to the excellent work done at the start of the summer by Garry Monk and Huw Jenkins.

Garry has always said since the team returned to pre-season training that he wanted to have a full pre-season working with them and he achieved that and his philosophy is clearly paying dividends when you look at the Premier League table as the window is about to close.

The official closure of the window is this evening but there is expected to be minimal activity at the club with a couple of departures possible but nobody expected to arrive.

That probably will not prevent Sky Sports having a reporter at the stadium but the truth will probably remain that Franck Tabanou, Kristoffer Nordfeldt, Andre Ayew and Eder will be the additions into the club in this particular window.

That activity though has left us in the position that we are able to field two completely different sides as we proved in last week's Capital One Cup win over York at the Liberty. To have options in every position is a great situation to be in and when the window does eventually close then Garry and Huw must surely sit back with a smug look of satisfaction on their faces.

And let us not forget that not only have we added to the strength of the squad but we have not lost anyone from the squad and there are not likely even in the departures to be any significant ones that will weaken us.

Time will tell but based on the early evidence you would suggest that this is one of our most successful transfer windows to date but what do you think? Share your thoughts in the poll below

Swansea City : Has Andrew Coleman been in the shower for three months with Bobby Ewing ?

Swans supporters consult Kieran Maguire and when did Andy start as Chairman ?
News of Swansea City’s financial position hit home yesterday as the club announced further losses. The profit and sustainability rules are forever hanging over a club, and in Swansea City’s case like everyone else it’s a rolling three year issue.
Gwyn’s Eye View : Swansea City v Millwall
Glyn 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.
Jamal Lowe : Still to be contacted regards his future at Swansea, Langstaff update
We have been told by numerous Swansea fans of a chance meeting in a service station between Jamal Lowe and those returning from Norwich yesterday. Nothing in that or indeed the conversation they had yesterday. Indeed there has to be some interpretation from what we know already on Jamal Lowe.
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.
