Talk he's following Martin from MK, defensive midfielder, 30 appearances 15 bookings.
He must like a tackle  |  |

Lot of injuries last year. After Walsh and Joseph we must have a type. |  | | |

Out 3 months with a knee injury then slipped and tweaked it again when ready to make a comeback. Was offered a new contract in March unclear if he signed although our head coach would know.
Defensive midfielder playing in front of the back 3; 7 bookings in his first 10 games last season. | | | |

Not sure at all about this lad, it’s always an issue when a manager comes in and fancies what he had at his old club. Worryingly, at a league lower. |  |

Don’t agree. Plenty of players in lower divisions who could make it in higher leagues. Kasumu, O’Riley, Darling just from MK. All young.
I would prefer us to find gems in lower leagues rather than loan from premiership. |  | | |

Looking at his stats suggest he may be more agro than agate.
When a player with that percentage of yellow to games played moves up the chances are he’ll get more.
Good passing stats but averaged just 6.6 in League 1 last season.
If that’s all Mrtin got out of him last season I can’t see how he’s going to step up with the the same manager! [Post edited 3 Aug 2021 22:41]

As a prospect for the future maybe, and yes, I’ve probably been around football for a bit to get what you are saying. However, the next signings need to be more than possibilities.
Finding gems is hard, getting a few loans in like Brewster, Woodman and Guehi for me, beats your logic every time. Game of opinions though. | |

If they are good enough they will play.
Lost 3.0 at Western Super Mare on 3.1 tonight.
So not a great start for them not a criticism just stating a fact. | |

That was a new (ish) group against senior teams in friendlies. | |

Does he expect to walk into the Swansea's first team just like that? He has to fight and improve every aspect of his game to get in this team. He knows this. Sloppy passing will not do with this manager. |  |

Worded like that yes it would beat my logic. But not if you also include all the loans that didn’t work.
I’m not against the loan market but we didn’t get to keep or get any transfer £ from Brewster, Woodman or Guehi. Our future relies on developing our own & maximising return if they leave. Whether this is from our own youth or paying a nominal fee.
We will also be re-building a new style & it would be more beneficial to have players to grow with that. Not leave after a 6/12months loan. | | | |

However, I too would love some lower league players to show they are better than what we have. I’ve took some time to look at David Kasumu, he is what could be described as a midfield general, looks battle hardened already at 21. Wouldn’t be adverse to signing him. | |

There has to be a balance between the present and the future. We simply can’t sign players as good as Brewster, Guehi, Woodman and Gallagher on permanent contracts. Appreciate that’s a good thing with the likes of Hourihane and Gyokores.
This season may well turn out to be about embedding a playing style and if it is, we probably don’t need to rely on loans so much. If we’re going to have another serious crack at promotion, we need the best squad possible and that will include starlets from PL clubs, whether that’s now or in a years time.
It’s a shame we can’t poach the Dan James’ and Oli McBurnies while they are in other clubs academies anymore, but I do agree, we need to be developing what we do have, even if those players never go on to £15m transfers. | | | |

McBurnie wasn't poached, he was the same age as Kyle Joseph when we signed him, for a similar fee and with similar amount of senior football experience (though at a lower level). | | | |

Think he is captain aswell, which says a lot about his character at young age. O’Riley looks like a ready made replacement for Grimes. Obviously, I would prefer us to widen our options but if RM knows they have the ability to move up & already know his style then they could be shrewd signings. Especially as we need midfielders. | | | |

Play him and Latibeaudiere and we would would be in danger of finishing with 9 players. | |
