Cullen rumours in amongst Swansea City selection v Coventry
Liam Cullen is rumoured to be the target of a few rival Championship clubs but Swansea City have not entered in to any real dialogue regards the player. That could change if his agent at CAA base gets more press on his clients availability.
Liam’s contract is up at the end of this season so it’s not at all surprising ‘certain elements’ attached to Cullen are busying themselves earning him column inches. That shouldn’t affect his inclusion this afternoon for the Sky Bet Championship fixture against Coventry City. The only possible change today could be Charlie Patino who could come in for Ollie Cooper, or indeed Jay Fulton could step down to give Duff a more dynamic looking, but less robust midfield.
Liam Cullen ( above ) has a decent goal return compared to matches played for the Swans over the past year, and Swans head coach Michael Duff has already commented that he believes there will be players in and out over the coming weeks.
Jerry Yates scored last time out in the league at home against Birmingham City and is expected to start with Joel Piroe who didn’t impress Michael Duff last week at West Bromwich Albion. The Swans boss did comment that he does deserve a ‘day off’ every now and again but the focus will most certainly be on the Dutchman to put a lot more effort in this afternoon. The team game that Duff thrives on requires all of his starting eleven to be available to work throughout their time on the pitch.
There’s no room for anything other than that.
This is the third league game of the season for Swansea City with a draw and a loss behind them. Games don’t come much tougher than Coventry City in the Championship so we look forward to team selections at 2pm.
What to read next:
Swansea City : On the cusp in a very good way ! Two players who have come to Swansea City in the last two seasons from London clubs have earned a position on the clubs retained list this weekend. Both are considered exceptional talents by the Swans academy, and their dream remains alive to become full professional players in the first team squad.
Swans confirm who is staying and congratulations Abdulai ! As we stated this morning Swansea City have released their retained list and also confirmed the signing of Joe Allen for another year. The midfielder has been sitting on an offer for some weeks but indicated via a third party to us he would sign.
Swans retained list and Owain Tudur Jones on Paul Watson We understand that the Swans retained list will be announced today or at the latest on Saturday. And of course that includes players that will be released by the club from the academy and first team squad. So, the Swans plans and immediate future regards players coming in will become much clearer. Or at least the areas they need to target.
Swansea City : Where are the Swans today on all their player business ? 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 : 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.
