Swansea City in desperate rush to sign more players
Ideally these things are done and dusted by this time of the January transfer window. Unfortunately with players not liking their terms to come to west Wales along with the clubs current perilous state things are not that easy. Luke Williams went a long way to explain this on Tuesday.
With two transfer targets already out of the running, and Ryan Giles of Luton Town now on loan at Hull City being a prime example, the Swans are chasing three players before Thursday’s 11pm deadline - there is still hope of more players to come. We genuinely believe a transfer out or two could still be in the clubs plans. The players targeted are a defender, midfielder and another wide / forward player. Standard Liege forward Romain Mundle chose Sunderland over the Swans this week, wether that is a move we may live to regret is in the ‘time will tell’ basket.
That’s here —> Luke explains
News on Harry Darling today will become clearer later after some in-depth investigations on his leg injury from last nights game. The Swans now have Azeem Abdulai, Liam Walsh, Jamal Lowe, Josh Ginnelly, potentially Harry Darling, Josh Key and Sam Parker all out for this weekends home game against Plymouth Argyle (KO:3pm) Added to that Nathan Tjoe-A-On and Nathaniel Ogbeta out on loan already and Jerry Yates alongside Mykola Kuharevich (club spelling) in the news for possible loans or permanent sales the squad is getting thinner, in fact eleven players are in doubt to be available or even at the club come Friday.
Frenzy, flurry or just loads of worry ?
That’s pretty alarming given the Swans current form and Luke Williams still looking for his first league win since he came to the club. There simply has to be more business, it’s bare bones time. If the club are as unsuccessful as they have been this month then that word ‘relegation’ will start to reappear.
We have some work to do, in fact everyone has, but the outcome has now to be positive. More as soon as it surfaces.
What to read next:
Will the Swans learn from their mistakes ? He’s back because he’s a Jack, the Butty man reappears, the snivelling skurvied outcast clinging to life like the barnacle he is. A salt ridden death reincarnated, yes, just like the club he supports from two hundred years ago, now called Swansea it was then called something else …
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.
