I want to see a young team free of loans and veterans led by Grimes. The whole principle of what Martin is trying to do is to have a playing style not dependent on stars such that the teams is much better than the sum of the parts.
This need patience and hard graft. It will come. It will however not come if the club has 3 transient loans and four 33 year old veterans. 7 of the super drilled squad will be out of the door and time to start again. Martin will be requesting more time aas a new batch of plyers come in, Liard needs to be replaced by a young up and coming player with pace. Set to keep his place for the next 3 seasons. |  |

Highly overrated by many, after an initial good start has been awful for months. |
I agree, he has not been that impressive last couple of months. But he is still leaps ahead of anyone at the club if we continue to play wing backs. I personally think he's just an average level Championship player. |  |

Anyone think the dip in his performances coincided with this? Meaning - did he have foreknowledge of United’s decision ? |
Nah just overrated because he plays for Man U
Fans cream in their pants over players who come on loan from top 4 sides. | | | |

He was decent but never brilliant earlier in the season.
Had a poor game against Reading & has kept that form going ever since |  | | |

Probably down to coaching how he is managed and tatics | |

Bring me a new Ben Davies. He came from nowhere and has been loved for whoever he plays for. Luadrup, Villas Boas, Pottchettino, Mourinho now Conte.
Is there another focused kids up the Neath valley somewhere. | |

Exactly the things he had at MK last season, and was keen for more of the same with Martin this season.
Bournemouth have obviously offered a loan with a view to a permanent deal |  |

Grimes has been poor since he signed his new contract. |  | | |

My post was in response to the one about Laird's form this season......
As you say Bournemouth may have made an offer which is more attractive to Utd and that is why he is being recalled but if we were doing better and LAird was performing well in an attacking side knocking at the door of promotion then maybe Utd would be happy for him to stay here?
Maybe also Utd have sussed Martin out after 1 and a half seasons? | |

Wales online reporting that Bournemouth are paying Utd a bigger loan fee and a bigger % of wages, which is par for the course for the robbers at Utd.
What is really dissapointing is that the likes of Burnley and Bournemouth are in a much better position than us. |  | | |

Worth a go | | | |

Decisions like this do include the player, hearing he wasn’t 100% happy, a few grand here and there won’t matter to Man Utd. | |

The Neath boys are at Cardiff. | | | |

There’s Cardiff boys at Swansea though, it’s a small area to recruit from. | |

Hard to say what this was about.
We don’t know what’s going on behind the scenes.
League position ?
Not happy with coach ?
More money ?
Utd have seen something they are not happy with bottom line.
Massive loss for us, not good…………. | | | |

Could it be a similar thing to what we had with Guehi? Maybe he's going there for the remainder of this season& then potentially a premier league season next season? |  |

No mentions for Tivonge Rushesha that I've seen.
What's the consensus then? Not up to it yet? Unlikely to? | |

Yes we know……….
Every club would like that because they don’t have pay the wages for quality players.
Looks like we are going to see if that’s achievable judging by our transfer targets. | | | |

Maybe bring Jordan Garrick back from Plymouth and play him at wing back. [Post edited 2 Jan 2022 14:42]

I like Garrick as a winger but not wing back.
I liked Laird as much for his interaction with the crowd and delight in playing as much for his ability. |  |

Not a wingback for me. Got the engine but on the ball he's neat and tidy nothing more. The swashbuckling wide man role will probably never suit him. Still building back from his cruciate injury. | | | |

If he hadn't played under Martin last season I may have agreed with you | | | |
| Ethan Laird recalled by Manchester United on 19:26 - Jan 2 with 523 views | Catullus |
Maybe this will force Martin to change tactics? Maybe he'll go for a back 4 like some of us want? Or maybe we'll bring Garrick back and try proper wingers?
This makes the transfer window even more vital. If this transfer window is anything less than a roaring success (highly unlikely) then Martin is doomed. We needed several players anyway and now we need another one.
It seems to me that circumstances are conspiring against our manager! | |

Martin and Allen will have extra cash to play with if Fulton, Dhanda, Benda and Liard and Williams go.
Swansea have 4 fullback Bidwell, Naughton Manning and McFadyan. Naughton and Williams lost from CB. Extra money for Bidwell to sign new deal. He has been very solid. | |
