| ** Swans transfer update 16:27 - Jun 28 with 27128 views | KeithHaynes | Should be some news on transfers before midweek next week. Swans apparently have a few deals tied up, working on that as long as it doesn’t t affect the clubs business. Will be potentially two transfers out in the coming few weeks. Swans have business tied up but nothing will move forwards until Wednesday at the earliest due to new SCR rules. Average time to conduct and complete transfers is taking longer than ever. Up to three weeks. The legality of the transfers, all the caveats which some run into hundreds of legal points are getting more scrutiny than ever. And then it will be deadline day where it all happens in a few hours 🤷🏻♂️ Let’s see what happens. |  |

| ** Swans transfer update on 10:42 - Jun 30 by sons_of_omri | And Galbraith was a DM nothing attacking about him |
We are well covered in that area as seen at the end of last season. Not many DM's score 4 goals. [Post edited 30 Jun 10:46]

| ** Swans transfer update on 10:15 - Jun 30 by Whiterockin | Walta as a 10 next season will be enough to replace him, see the end of last season when he was injured. |
Walta was looking very, very good in those last few games. Very excited to hopefully seeing him carry on like that this coming season. |  | |  |

I won't lie, I laughed at this with Galbraith. What a strange transfer. You would think he would have more ambition. Clearly he really wanted out. Bookmark this, he will do the same to Stoke when bigger clubs come calling a year later. |  | |  |
| ** Swans transfer update on 11:48 - Jun 30 with 4565 views | hobo | Disappointed by that. I'm sure we'll have a replacement lined up/Walta, but think we could get a lot more for him given a full season in midfield |  | |  |

| ** Swans transfer update on 10:32 - Jun 30 by raynor94 | £10 million is fantastic if true he was good first half of the season but dropped off, but I'm really disappointed in the mercenary |
It’s why so many of us are cynical Players come on We love em Then they go for more money whilst saying how great we are Fook him and knob off son So there |  |

I think there is more than just money behind his wish to move from us. There is something more personal imo. Nit settled in the area, not feeling right at the club, personal differences?? I don’t buy it that he was hacked off being stuck at FB and threw a hissy one. He’s played there before and he would have known he was the natural choice given our situation at RB at that time. |  |

Interesting It doesn’t help grow own fan base when we so obviously fail To hold on to talent Vultures circle our club I’m Certain many Swansea folk have seen this as “ lack of ambition) and why they “ support” the billy big bollox brands Personally , I believe we had the chance to reinvent our club at Pre League We blew it big time no matter what self styled experts say , it was the opportunity to expand the ground and drawn on internationals and also to wean Swansea people off calling Liverpool “ US” |  |

Rich, there are times, this seems one of them that there is nothing the club can do. Anyone saying the club lacks ambition because if this are not understanding the way it works. There are times when a club will sell a player=er for financial reasons but this isn’t one of them. Galbraith clearly wants out and once that’s the situation there is little any club worldwide can do about it. I’m more concerned as to WHY he wants to leave. I do agree with you that we wasted a huge opportunity by not running the club properly at the time we got relegated. If we could have stayed there we would have a new generation of fans only focussing on the Swans. It wouldn’t stop everyone from glory hunting because we would never be a United or Liverpool but it would be better. All that said, others may disagree but I don’t think we’d be filling out an expanded ground now if we’d stayed there. The obvious games yes but week in week out? I doubt it. |  |

Great response Thanks I stand by what I say I do accept football’ financial realities but Zi still Believe too many have a little ol Swansea vibe We have failed to progress our club, fan base Our marketing is poor, communication non existent Right now ? In Minorca ( very windy) and saw a West Ham towel poolside Not being a shy boy and prone to being a bit forward I introduced himself to him Not bad chap for a Stepney fellow He did show some respect for our club though but I think my still Impressive torso intimidated him somewhat Id also been in The pool teaching life saving to our female holiday companion Stepping up my fitness now to help my condition |  |

We had empty seats last time we were in the Premier League, not every game sold out. But I do feel if we extended we would have bigger gates than now, larger away support for a start plus a crowd draws a crowd. |  | |  |

I’ve got this feeling that he’s become a red line for matos - and he seems really happy here. I know money talks but I’m sure he’s on much better terms here after his new contract. |  | |  |

How much of that was down to people thinking we were permanently sold out? I agree we must expand the ground. I have a bit of hope with all the noise around the new partnerships/sponsorships but how much would it cost to add an extra tier to three sides of the ground? 100 million???? |  | |  |

I don't believe any extension would take place until we own the ground. So one step at a time. |  | |  |

100%. I still find it strange his lack of ambition. Money talks clearly. It's either gonna go 2 ways, he has an average season or he does brilliantly and he'll be having a strop this time next year in order to get a move away to a bigger club |  | |  |

He knew the deal with the RB issue. He like any player should understand it was a need must. Key was playing terrible and Ward didnt have the legs. It's clearly money and him not wanting to be in Swansea. I'm almost looking forward to seeing him on first day of season and we leave something on him 😜. Petty. Maybe. 😄 I never said I was perfect 😜😜 [Post edited 30 Jun 23:07]

Agents with their siren song of wealth and glamour. The club don't think he's as good as he thinks he is, is being told he is. So he's going to Stoke. Has he ever been to Stoke? |  | |  |

He's a city boy and likes the city vibe previously playing in Manchester and London, not everyone appreciates fresh air and beautiful scenery. From Stoke, Manchester Liverpool and Birmingham are under an hour away by train, London an hour and a half and are all frequent. The lifestyle will suit him just fine, but career wise its another story. |  | |  |

Hopefully. If we do end up buying the stadium then naming rights will be a big earner which will all come to the Club. It was also said by someone (Keith ?) that last season we achieved our season long target on merchandise before Christmas. So the end of season figure must have been very good. Hopefully even better this season. Then if the Fanzone gets done those three things alone will give a real major boost to finances. |  | |  |
