Need to concentrate on ourselves and not other teams. We desperately need a striker and full back cover. |
We don't "desperately need" anything.
Every year we hear this nonsense. We're doomed without another striker/goalkeeper/fullback/whatever. It's not been true since 2018 and it's not true now. |  |

A couple of holes to fill but if we don’t I’m more than happy with what we have. At the end of the day I have faith in Sheehan getting a tune out of our squad. | | | |

I know this isn’t the correct thread really, but search option not working for me.
I’d like to know this season squad numbers list (it has been released, right?).
Also, the completed transfer ins/outs.
Are there threads already?
If not, could anyone list them here please?
Thanks 🙏 |  |

Is there much substance in the rumours that striker Marc Guiu is coming on loan from Chelsea? | | | |

This. With a better functioning midfield and an increase in goals from that area we will be ok if our defence holds. |  |

It’s looking pretty obvious even against poor opposition, that our biggest mistake was not going all out to sign O’Brien, and it’s going to cost us and benefit Wrexham big time
Our upturn in form was down to Sheehan taking over, and him in midfield.
He brought out the best in Franco, and those around him.
But hay, no matter, we can afford someone better, when the sales of Joe’s strawberry ice creams go through the roof. As advertised by Sloop Dawg. | | | |

I would say our current problems are down to injuries in central defence. Personally I would not have been happy if we were paying O'brien £40K a week in the championship, it would have been financial suicide. |  | | |

Agreed paying £40k a week for him would be madness as good as he was for us last season |  |

The biggest change was Sheehan for Williams. LoB played well, but we lost the first two games he played in.
The financials were far more than we could justify, which we all knew was likely from day one of the window. Putting all our eggs in one basket would have limited what we can do in other areas.
Nothing looks obvious at all from pre-season. Nothing ever does, despite people claiming otherwise Summer after Summer. | |

There seems to be a belief that we need to have absolutely everything in place, players trained up, happy with their roles, ready to go for the first game of the season, which is extremely unlikely to happen even in the best circumstances.
Like you say, the first month or so, certainly before the window closes, is usually just teams finding their way, fine tuning their processes, identifying any gaps and going from there. It's a long old season. | |

It certainly is a long season. If Sheehan was in place a month earlier we may well have been in the play offs last season. | | | |

Last season was a poor standard championship and this one is looking like it might be the same, Swans blew a good chance of going up due to the poor quality last season and if the Swans fail to make at least the play offs this season it will be a failure in my book. |  |

One man doesn’t make a team.
But O’Brien has potential premiership class written all over him.
I will have a bet with you, (for this site’s charity) that he will fire Wrexham to finish ahead of us.
We have billionaires waiting in the background, Modric & SD supposedly on board to highlight Swansea City’s global revenue streams, plus new owners who want to see us back in The Prem, so the only thing holding us back is seemingly FFP / PSR regulations.
Other successful owners appear to circumnavigate them, so one would imagine our higher ups are also on the case.
Meanwhile, we’ve let a talented, athletic box to box dynamo, who wanted to be here, slip through our hands | | | |

There are some things we can't afford due to PSR O'brien is one. If you understood how football actually works you would realise this. | | | |

The league last season was poor, only 1 team from the championship made the last 8 of the FA cup and zero teams made the last 8 of the League cup, the new teams joining the league won't move the dial a lot as although the promoted league one teams seem to be good the demoted premier league teams cancel that out by seeming to be poor. | |

Poor? Leeds Burnley amassed 100 points and blades missing out on promotion with 90 points and you call that poor you are embarrassing yourself here | |

If that’s your metric for deciding how strong the league was, maybe stick to just slagging our city off. You know what you’re doing there.
Appreciate the effort though. | | | |

Similar points are dished out every season mun (used to be the same points before 3 points for a win nonsense).
Put in the Google poor championship season and one of the first things that came up was a fan on Sheff Utd site written in February saying how rubbish the standard was that season that his own team that had been (2nd most of the season - think that is what he/she said, not going to revisit it now) had been rubbish and all the teams they played had been rubbish (only QPR and Sunderland I think he said were any good at Bramble Lane). | |
