So.. did PC have influence in signing Abraham and Mesa from his previous job roles?
There was talk of PC bringing in players who he had coached previously who may want to play in the prem.. are we seeing any evidence of this or is transfer dealings totally out of his hands? |  | | |  |

My opinion quite obviously yes, he had known Tammy from when he was at Chelsea, and Mesa from his time at Madrid |  |

No.
It might have played a little part in the Tammy signing though.
When we start signing players from Madrid, Bayern, PSG, then we'll talk about his contacts. Or we can be all starry eyed and pretend that every good player we sign from Spain, Germany or France is down to his time spent coaching there. |  |

So if we are about to offload our quality (again) lets see if PC has a plan to replace them with players he has some knowledge and faith in within our budget. | | | |

Sure Mesa was going on about how much the manager wanted him and had identified him as the main man being one of the major footballing reasons to him coming here.
Players from his previous places of work are going to be a little rich for our taste, aren't they..
Surprised we haven't looked at any derby players. |  | | |

Mesa did say that knowing Clement's reputation from his time at Real influenced his decision to come to Swansea so even if PC wasn't personally instrumental in his signing, he did play a passive part just by being here. His reputation and profile within European football will never rival Laudrup's of course but it's still way ahead of our other managers, especially when it comes to the Spanish market. |  | | |

Exactlty what I was thinking. His standing as a coach /assistant in Europe has to help when players are considering a move here. I hope it continues. |  |

I'd also say you could add Makelele to that too..
I'm sure there will be players out there hoping to work with him. |  | | |

i hope your right.Meanwhile we have our two best players who seemingly don't wish to work with him, but a previously out of work coach who does. Don't wet your knickers over him just yet eh!  |  | | |

In fairness Llorente and Sigurdsson haven't publicly said they want to go! It's Conte and Koeman that are making cow eyes towards our two star players, what these two are saying to the two mangers via their agents maybe another thing altogether, but give them the dubious benefit of our doubt !! |  |

I'd hazard a guess that Clements influence was zero on any signings. People want to play in the EPL and don't particularly care that it's Swansea or WEst Ham or Watford or Stoke or West Brom and I doubt we scouted them either it's more likely that agents let the club know of their availability and we threw our hat in the ring. I 'm pretty much 100% that's how we do our business. We strike it lucky if they know a player already at the club who might sing our praises.
I'm yet to see the raft of players from Real, Bayern and PSG beating a path to PC's door wanting to work with him again. |  | | |

I would say that Clement had zero say in who came in at the clubs he was coaching
BUT
He would have an idea on what players were in that league. Like Siggy with us, a diamond in a mid to lower ranking team OR a young talent with massive potential starting out.
The Mesa signing has given us a good indication but arguably we need another 4/5 players of this quality. |  |

Well whatever Clement's influence, we better sign some new players over the next two weeks or it'll be a rerun of last season. We still need a RB, midfielder, a replacement for Siggy, and possibly a striker if Llorente goes. So at least 4 new faces, ideally before the season starts. Wishful thinking. |  | | |

Mr Clement no doubt knows many players throughout Europe who may be available,question is their quality balanced against their cost. | | | |
