| Ball playing centre backs at Swansea. 13:19 - Aug 14 with 1162 views | ReslovenSwan1 | The WoL reports that Russel Martin is on the look out for a ball playing centre back. https://www.walesonline.co.uk/ I would like to think that the like of Brandon Cooper, Cameron Evans (and Scott Butler) have been bought up to play like this from the age of 9 at least those developed at Swansea. I like to think Russel will be pleasantly surprised with the in-house developed youths who will slot into his methods seamlessly because of their nurturing from an early age. I see reference to the 'Welsh way' by the FAW, notionally a possession based style. This was exposed as a myth in the Denmark drubbing where the Welsh side was horribly out passed.

| Ball playing centre backs at Swansea. on 13:51 - Aug 14 with 1091 views | Catullus | The FAW, much like the Cardiff centric media, like to take credit away from down West and try to put it in the "Capital city" Did you see the Welsh sports news where they talked about transfers? Yesterday or maybe Thursday evening it was. They talked about Cardiff and McCarthy looking at players then they came to us and talked about Swansea having signed 2 players 'despite the financial position they are in' which is clear bias. Cardiff have only sold, they made a profit last time I looked whereas SCFC have spent 2 million and more with add ons. No mention of Cardiff bleeding over 2 million per month and Tan making cut backs just the usual biased, negative reporting on us. |  |

Unless he can adapt he will be the 'Bennett to Martin' what 'Craig Beattie and Shfki Kuqi were to Brendan. |  |

Joel L reminds me of Alan Tate when he was with us at first, looks a class player but ultimately has an error in him. Tate was shipped out to full back and at times as a central holding midfielder as Centre half and the last line before the keeper due to him getting caught out at times.. I see Joel L going the same route in his career and as he is a little on ty he shorter side but has more pace than Tate, I see Right back being a position he could evolve into as his career moves forward. |  |
