Joe Allen didn't want to play for us the minute he knew Liverpool were interested.
I don't blame him for trying to better himself but he still didn't want to play for us. | |

Maybe you are more in the know than me but if the club had matched Stoke offer I'd be amazed if Joe would of chosen them over us | | | |

We're only upset or obsessive with players who we want to keep but they ultimately move onto bigger clubs.We then want them to fail because we want to believe it was a bad move leaving Swansea..It's small club mentality i think.But in fairness to us there's not many players who do leave and improve.
When Mark Gower left and joined Charlton nobody gave a shit.Apart from Rog. |  | | |

Won't be long before we want Ashley Wiliams back !!!

He would have chosen us, besides the fee, we wouldn't match the wages Stoke offered. And that came from Joe |  |

Ive always admired your local produce posts, even though it's seemingly impossible for the club to expose any decent players in the whole of South Wales, even though many other clubs have very good young Welsh players from Liverpool to Arsenal etc ...even fcking Norwich ! And I know for a fact that Kwame Ampadu was laughed at when he offered his son Ethan for evaluation. Now look at him ...
I personally believe that those who rely upon Huw and his Scottish scout and a bloke in Holland to uncover local talent need scrutiny. Believe me that's what we have alongside two more blokes in Wales. Fcking useless. That's so 1965. Recruitment team ? We don't have one, we employ agents even at reserve team level. I am aware there is no mentoring system in place for kids at the academy and we have little interest in enhancing talent by including an educational system with a playing mentality to improve ability. Other clubs have more about them and have scholarships linked to university's that encourage parents to choose away from Swansea. Ok we have something in place, but trust me it doesn't compare to WBA or even Leeds United. For me it isn't about there being no talent, it's about lazy knowledge and accepting Huws Scottish imports, none of whom are good enough or a few European signings from the 'fck me I've been binned by my club' website.
Overhaul this and we have something tangible, accept the norm and Huw continues in safe mode, in full control and suffocating the opportunitys to sign local lads. Yes we have a very good u23 and have signed some very decent players, but a new Alan Curtis or Robbie James is out there, and maybe in abundance, it's just a shame Huw is trusted completely to find them with a couple of other blokes who let's be honest have uncovered fck all in five years.
Edit - if we had anything about us half of these young Welsh players, even 75% should be Swansea City products regardless of their place of birth or parentage. This is where we should be doing our homework, but we haven't got it in us, Huw is too staid and thick and anything beyond the norm will terrify him as he doesn't understand fck all about impactive creativity, planning, strategy or gathering intel on kids and their availability at all levels. Where is the Swansea blueprint for local youth enhancement ? Where is the young, vibrant recruitment team with assessment ability and the ability to teach and coach ? We are premier league in name only because Huw can't understand scrutiny and evaluation or know how to communicate and digest information. If he did these guys below would be Swansea City products. Yeah, I'm fcking on one.

The interest, not obsession in our good ex players obviously stems from the fact that we know what they can do. Rather than discuss the merits of a player in a foreign league, we've witnessed the likes of Allen and Davies at close quarters over a sustained period of time. Plus they are Welsh internationals. So the interest is understandable. |  |

Have to agree.
Seem to run into loads of people who've been watching their son playing football and recommended another kid for the Swans scouts to have a gander at, some of whom are now at other academies.
Fair few teachers out there have said something to the club as well about certain kiddies.
Fair play.
If a scout/ few scouts was/ were minded, they could be taking in a lot of schoolboy football games during the Autumn/ Winter and spring terms. Mostly during the office working day time as well.
Never know, one of our youth teams may actually produce the next generation of home grown players.
Reckon it'll be by chance rather than good forward scouting though.
How we managed to keep Ben and Joey to come through making a nice little profit is beyond me.
We really should be producing players good enough to at least make the squad by now.
Not even the keepers are close!! |  |
