| Paul Arriola 00:31 - Jan 23 with 5711 views | KeithHaynes | Definitely something the swans have been looking at, my issue here is he hasn’t played for fifteen months due to severe ligament damage. There have been talks and D.C. United manager David Kasper has confirmed it. Washington Post - “It’s an ongoing discussion,” Kasper said. “They are up against a clock with the [transfer] deadline. So it’s something obviously we’ll be engaging with Swansea in the coming days.” Again, I reckon this is an American link and not something Cooper or Marsh / Scott are involved in yet. |  |

| Paul Arriola on 13:22 - Mar 7 by Joe_bradshaw | I’m not convinced Steve had much to do with bringing him over. He’s played one game for DC United since his serious injury and is looking to get fit for the start of the next MLS season. He might be some use to us meanwhile but we are very handy for DC United in getting him fit. |
That's how it looks to me. Cooper isn't going to turn him down because the chances of getting someone else i bet were slim and we need bodies. But it seems he's not fancied much. |  |

| Paul Arriola on 13:20 - Mar 7 by Chief | Been in training for 5 weeks and still not worthy of anything more than a desperation throw on off the bench late on in games. Dont try and misinterpret the Peterson issue. We know why Cooper was aggrieved about how that was handled. |
Peterson was angry and frustrated at his treatment from Cooper and found another club to join and demanded a move. It is clear as day that both Manning and Latibeaudirere can be assets to the team and give other players a break. Arriola is clearly good enough to play and should be fully fit by now. They should all be established first teamers by now. Other teams like Derby are throwing in kids to give the team rest. Cooper has three full international Arriola Manning and Freeman un used and a highly rated young gun who has already proved himself. |  |

Yes I'm sure he was and all players should want to play. That doesn't mean the manager gets no say in him leaving and only gets told by text on a match day of his departure. Manning and Latibeaudiere have had starts though? Manning has started the last 2 games. How do you know Arriola is 'clearly good enough to play'? Derby are 16 places below in the league and in financial trouble. |  |

You may have noticed that all teams are rotating. Even Liverpool with their massive resources have two rookie centre backs. Are you struggling to see why Swansea would want to emulate liverpool? |  |

I do not care where Arriola come from. If he is a multi cap USA international "who is working hard in training " he should be n established squad member like Manning, Freeman and latibeaudeire. Copper does not have the excuse of tiredness or lack of resources if none of the players get game time. Three are full internationals 25 yrs + and one a highly rated star from Manchester city. Liverpool has a defence of kids using a player Cooper rejected. |  |

They aren't playing those rookie centre backs as part of rotation though are they? Its out of neccessity. So that's a strange one to bring up. I notice that Neco Williams despite being fit has been given his first start since December today...... |  |

He is 19 years old 2 years younger than Latibeaudiere. Phillips and Rhys Williams are no better than Cabango. Klopp trusts them. Cooper does not give faith to Manning, Arriola and Freeman but should. Klopp is a vastly experienced sucessful manager . Cooper is in his second year and has a lot to learm like keeping his bench happy and on point. Like all my posts I try to give evidence of where this has not been managed well and that is Kris Peterson. He would be usefull now to give Lowe a break. |  |

What you're not getting is that Klopp isn't playing these kids out of choice. Whether he 'trusts' them or not is irrelevant. Their injuries are so bad they have no other players to play there and they've regularly even played Henderson and Fabinho there instead of the youngsters. Liverpool are also on a terrible run. So whatever point you're trying make, isn't being made at all. |  |

Hold on now, are you getting confused? "should be an established squad member like Manning, Freeman and Latibeaudiere"? Freeman an established squad member!? Hes played less than Arriola. As you keep ignoring for some reason - Manning has started the last 2 games and Latibeaudiere has played plenty. |  |

You see theses players in training every day do you ? You aware of their precise fitness levels? Speed, stamina, touch, awareness, pace, personalities, characters. Manning has been unlucky due to Bidwells very good form until recently and then had his chance and rightly so Ariola I thought was brought in to give depth to a squad as was Morris although hasn’t Ariola been out injured for a long time? Freeman hasn’t looked any better than players with the shirts and that’s putting it mildly |  |

Henderson and Fabinho are good players. He is playing them out of chioce. He is using his squad as he should do. Cooper is not rotating his squad properly using fringe players as you said only in desperate circumstances. He lost Peterson because he did not play him and keep him happy. |  |

Henderson and Fabinho are out and out midfielders. Henderson is now injured so can't play at centre back so the youngsters are back in. Nothing to do with rotation. Let's be honest Peterson barely played anyway and when he did added very little. Seems similar to Arriola now. |  |

Cooper was very upset when he left. This is my point. Use them or lose them. He would be ideal for repalcing Lowe. The bench coud be the difference between 2nd place and the playoffs. The bench a squad of 16-18 players should all be "match fit". Freeman Manning Latibeaudire Whittaker and Arriola all should be 100% ready. |  |

Peterson was Coopers player though. He has every right to be aggrieved if off the field bods remove players from his squad. Just a little undermining don’t you think. |  | |  |

100 % ready ? You do understand that players will often play with little niggles and strains? And that’s players starting games. More so on the bench you will have players returning from injury for example and not being 100% fit. Not match fit. Bennett recently for example. It happens in the real world see. |  |

Cooper chucked Peterson under the bus a bit. At the time there were so many players playing poorly and making mistakes every week and remained undroppable while Peterson made a few mistakes against Brentford and despite being otherwise very sharp was immediately hauled off and never seen again.

Well yea you're told on the morning of a game that a guy who was going to be in the match day has left and you're informed by text. No wonder he wasn't happy. The same should apply with Arriola under the same circumstances. All should be match fit and Latibeaudiere and Manning evidently are. The others may not be but that's the risk you take signing players on close season or had recently spent a long time without a club. |  |

Peterson refused to play for Cooper as he was in the Chairman's office demanding a move sick of not getting off the bench. Manning and Latibeaudiere are barely beig used. These are the words of Andre Ayew. ""I think we've played I don't know how many games lately," he said to Sky Sports. "We have tired legs, Middlesbrough you could see at the start of the game made a lot of changes, they had fresher legs." Three full intenratioals on the bench, frustrated like Peterson, need to see action plus one of Swansea's hottest young guns. I do not even expect Cooper O and Cooper B to see any action at all. Too young. Cooper has to learn from his mistakes. [Post edited 7 Mar 2021 16:09]

Well Cooper was right not to play him then. If he's going to throw some counter productive hissy fit when included in the squad, best off not being here. Fact is if he had anything to offer he'd have played more often. Same applies to Arriola now. Manning has started the last 2 games. Latibeaudiere has played plenty too (even had some high profile mistakes). |  |
