Swansea City in a quandary over experienced recruitment staff ? But why would that be ? 25th May 2026 08:00
Recently the name Jay Lefevre has been touted about as someone who is in the mix when it comes to recruiting and working with Club CEO Tom Gorringe. That’s good and bad news overall as the Swans are still without a Director Of Football (DOF) and a specialised football recruitment position. 0

He may be right, he may be wrong. It’s just the authoritative way he states it when we all know he hasn’t got a clue.

Why not come up with a sensible counter argument. I suspect you do not have one so opt for the lazy three word put down.

Matos has stated there is no need for major surgery. The academy is always looking for fresh talent of course. There are upto 10 players 19-21 returning from loans.

Margetson, Watts, Congreve, Cotterill , Lissah, Wilson, Fanning, Arthur Parker,Bobby Wales and Jacob Cook.

Dan Watts, Blair McKenzie, Pescatore, Perry, Heywood Woodward making claims for a step up..

I make my case that there is no room in the Inn. Time to consolidate not speculate.

That is my case.

My personal opinion. Worth left because he would not have final say on recruitment it would be down to the new DoF. Our recruitment is not 85% done as recruitment is continuous and fluid depending on circumstances, clubs are working to cover all eventualities windows in advance. We will not only sign 2 or 3 players over the whole of this season. We have weak areas within the squad that need improvement and that is without players leaving and there will be at least 2 or 3 squad members going in my opinion.

Hopefully. We can’t go into next season expecting a push for promotion with the players he lists in his reply to you, it just won’t work.

Im happy for some of the youngsters to come into the squad, but is very unusual for u21s to go into a championship team and bang out 35 plus games a season, their bodies just won't take it. Possibly have the youngsters as squad members instead of loans but we still lack starting quality, we need a right wing with pace and ball playing central defender, both who can play over 30 games a season, thats without anyone going. Apart from Galbraith and Vipotnik who are strong contenders to be sold, I also expect possible offers for Tymon, Stamenic, Franco and Eom, whether we would accept them is another story but I can't see any player he mentioned taking their place without weakening us. This is why recruitment is fluid and ongoing, not 85% done.

I hate these " as we all know" quotes followed by a put down . This is why forums shut down. They get dominated by cliques who work together to exclude other options with slurs. Most people cannot get bothered with the nonsense

Matos has stated only tweaks are required. 10 players coming back from loans including a young player if the year in Scotland and a new Welsh international. Matos has also said the academy pathway is INTRINSIC in what we do. ( More or less)

Swansea does not need Premier League 18 year olds who usually do not impress.

You have made yourself a clique. Painted yourself into a corner. It's because you are unhinged. You are so embittered against anything non-Welsh it clouds your every opinion to the point nobody on here can take you seriously. We just laugh at you. What an achievement. Congratulations.

A bit harsh, but not far from the truth. If you want opinions to be respected you need to say it is just that and not pretend it is fact. Attention seekers like fools are soon found out and cast aside. There is no clique just multiple posters with different opinions, its what keeps a board healthy.

I represent an opinion and outlook you despise. You go personal against liberal opinions " unhinged" etc .. Its just ridiculous really. You go to extreme length to support a struggling narrative I have contested . It is a matter of honour that needs a good rinse .

I have simply stated that there should be no great concern over recruitment as most of the team are covered with recent signings who need to improve and be given time. Full back and a center back need attention that about it .

No need to 19 year old loans except if elite.

Swansea will not be doing a lot of trading this season. 2-3 players at most. Matos is in board and accept a his job is to get the best out of players who have joined over the last 18 months.

The club will always be keeping an eye of exceptional prospects undervalued. Why have a massive recruitment staff when there will be little actual trading. That is while Worth left perhaps. He job was 85% done ?


That went well. So far Walta, Welsh, Yeo, Just and Opoku with a month of the window still to go. It looks like a big restructuring of the squad this summer.

I agree with you that Res's "matter-of-factly" call for only 2-3 players is already short of the mark. However, Walta should be counted as this past winter's window signing, even though technically, the deal was consumated this summer.

Res could also claim that when he predicted 2-3 players back in early June, that he wasn't counting on Franco's serious injury that may take him out of action for a lengthy period. So, I will cut him some slack for a replacement there.

But, it does appear that the owners & management including Matos, are not finished in recruiting more players, especially with a big cloud and lots of questions hanging over Zan's lack of participating in any of the pre-season games so far. I hope that Vip plays today (against a Serie A team), but if he were to play, would it be for showcasing his talents to potential suitors?

If Zan is sold, then surely a true #9 replacement is warranted? Five signings so far: Walta, Welsh, Yeo, Opoku, and Just. I, like you, expect several departures as well. Questions hang over players like Key, Cooper, Ronald, Eom, Wales, and maybe even Burgess and Cullen. If Key were to stay, then what do you do about Parker? Continue to try him out at left back?

If someone posts something and states "in my opinion ", it is open to discussion and opposing opinions can be put forward but when they post and arrogantly pretend they are facts posters don't bother to reply respectfully. We have a new recruitment partner now and in my opinion actively looking at options to cover any possible departures. As I say just my opinion.
