Galbraith 9/1 Widell 8/10 Stamenic 7/10 Walta 6/10 but could easily rise with more playing time. Idah 6/10 but could easily rise with more playing time Burgess 5/10 an old style basic centre half, to move forward we need better. Inoussa 5/10 hopefully he will improve after his injury out. Santos 1/10 why did we bother.
Wales is just a mystery to me, why did we sign him.
Walta and Idah could both be stars for us next season but I am judging on what I have seen this season not just the last couple of games. Inoussa is too lightweight for me and gives the ball away easily but I would love to be proved wrong.

Add Woodward and Lissah who could turn out to two ‘signings’
A great believer in taking anything you like to wherever you want to.
Galbraith - Looked quality from the start. Widell - Next season will be his break out. Very impressed Burgess - Goes where Cabango and Vigs fear to tread Idah - Next season will be his break out. Goals per minute is very impressive. Stamenic - More cards than a Las Vegas casino Walta - Needs more time Inoussa - Needs a lot more time Santos - Who?

Don't tell me you are giving Adam Worth credit for those two.
Galbraith 8/10 great signing was top class when asked to play out of position but looks like he's off Widdell 8/10 love his attitude if only there were goals in him Stamenic 7/10 solid and dependable always pus a shift in Idah 6/10 had a good game yesterday but was hit and miss most of the season injury notwithstanding Walta 6/10 again good game yesterday starting to see what he is about now Burgess 4/10 not mobile enough and some costly cheap errors Inoussa - Impressed me when he played but haven't seen enough to give a fair score
“Cunnilingus and Psychiatry brought us to this …”

Widell - Sets the pace and tone in the team and is key to Matos style and is getting better. Get the goal and he will be an asset. Galbraith - Quality when played in best position Stamenic - Has played the deeper (Fulton) role well Idah - Sometimes looks like he is walking but adds something extra and different than VP Inoussa - Showed glimpses of quality. Need to see more. Walta - To early to say. Santos - To Injury Prone. Not seen enough.

1. Galbraith - I have to agree with most that Galbraith is our best newcomer. Versatile in that he can play numerous positions, and a leader on the field; 2. Widell & Stamenic (tie) - Both had lots of good ball-playing stints on the pitch but also had numerous moments of mistake-prone play. A case that Widell is #2 alone could be argued but Stamenic offers a lot of presence and his continued experience in a positive-building relationship with Burgess & Cabango should make our defensive spine even better next season. 4. Burgess - Is he starting to settle in and not make as many mistakes as he showed in the latter stages of the season? 5. Idah. Idah is intriguing, and like Widell, has a lot of upside potential. 6. Inoussa & Walta (tie) - Both players need to hit the weight room to build muscle and bulk over the summer. Both players showed glimpses of why Swans think highly of them, but unfortunately, not enough sustained good play. Was Walta's 1st goal a one-off? 8. Santos - Doesn't really rate, unfortunately.
Looking forward to the summer window to see how management handles next season's roster. Lots of promising talent coming from stellar loan stints and the U-21 team that will impact certain 2025/2026 roster veterans' futures. I agree with Matos that there might not be much need in bringing in new recruits. But that could be code for, "Let's see who stays and who leaves" before agreeing to that statement. Some players will have to be moved on in order to generate money for new recruits and meet PSR requirements.
I believe management is probably trying to sell Galbraith on next season's potential as a reason to stay with the Swans.

Galbraith - Quality. The most effective of all the new signings from the off, even if he was wasted at RB for too much of the season.
Widell - A player I like a great deal. Don't think he's had much of a run in his best position. For me he's a #8 rather than a winger or a #10 so the expectation of lots of goals may be amiss, but contributes a lot anyway.
Idah - Scored almost as many goals per minute as Vipotnik. Staked a strong claim to be the first choice replacement if/when Vipi leaves.
Stamenic - Decent. Offers a decent physical presence but by no means a playmaker based on what we've seen so far. Probably better pushed further forward where he doesn't have to set the pace.
Walta - Serious technical ability. Lightweight at the moment and needs time to get to grips with the physicality of the league, but his ceiling might be the highest of the lot.
Inoussa - Played most of his football under Sheehan so unfairly judged IMO. Hard for any of our forwards to shine under those circumstances. Needs a run of games next season.
Santos - Was brought in as cover. Wasn't needed.
Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

Very much agree. He's set a fantastic foundation to build on. Would have been exciting to see what he had planned for this Summer.
1. Galbs 2. Stamenic 3. Widdell 4. Idah 5. Walta
All 25yrs old or younger 😳

Galbraith 8/10 Widell 7/10 expecting this to increase Stamenic 7/10 Walta 7/10 see Widell above Idah 7/10. Burgess 6/10 Inoussa 5/10 on what we have seen
Santos and Wales unable to form an opinion.
Going to hit send button before I start doubting my gut instinct. All in all, not a shabby group fair play. I would say we have done more than OK.

People can their opinions on Adam Worth’s recruitment plan, but that isn’t a bad permanent signing group.
A great believer in taking anything you like to wherever you want to.
Galbraith 9 - Best player we have had at the club in a decade I would say. Technically excellent and a bargain price, we will sell him for a fortune.
Widdell 8 - I love him, we just look better when he plays. Hasn’t scored which has been extremely unlucky with world class saves and the woodwork stopping him on a few occasions. I think he’s in for a big season next season.
Walta 7 - Brilliant player and the sort of player we have been crying out for, will be a big player for us in the 10.
Stamenic 7 - Physical, tough in the tackle and technically good also. Loves a yellow card but we will accept that as the trade off.
Idah 7 - I think he’s severely underrated, fast, powerful, strong, composed and can finish. Wouldn’t mind him being the replacement rather than bringing in another.
Burgess 6 - an ever present, played every minute of the season but was signed with Sheehans system so not sure it has transitioned well with the new manager and more possession needed at the back.
Inoussa 4 - shows glimpses, but not enough, will be interesting to see what happens when he gets back from injury and then we can really have a view.
Santos N/A - Hasn’t played clearly a 4th choice type
Wales N/A - One for the future so time will tell
The fact we have this squad all around 23/24 years old is seriously exciting though.

On the flip side, Inoussa, Widell, Walta and Idah may flop next season and that's many millions down the drain.
I will agree that there's potential there, enough to make me cautiously optimistic, but it could still go either way. That's not a stick to beat Dimi with or reason to praise him either. Football transfers are an inexact science at the best of times.
Few would have predicted Liverpool's struggles this season after their investment last Summer.
