The Good Doctor said... "Wait until we've played ten games before coming to any conclusions."
Personally, I most certainly share the positives, surprise and genuine enthusiasm for what our new board have done for the club since February. However, introducing 5, or possibly (due to what Keith is hinting at) up to 8 new players, being brought into the squad, it may well take some time for them to gel as a team?
With so many being introduced into the club, this coming season could see us start quite slowly. But as the new intake, learn/adapt to the current squad, we could, just like a train, start slowly, but begin moving into top gear come November onwards? |  | |  |

Yep. And quite a few of these new acquisitions would have never played anything like as intense as Championship Football. It took Eom much of a season to get to a pot where he was really comfortable.
This is where players like Cameron Burgess and maybe O'Brien will really add value. Proven and experienced at this level. |  |
| 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. |

When Laudrup brought some unknown quantities in it didnt take them too long to gel in a much harsher and more difficult league. Our new boys may take 10 games to truly get going but seeing as the spine of the team including both full backs are still there I think there’s a chance we may start like an express train |  | | |

I can fully relate to both Dr. W and sons of omri's posts.
It's been mentioned several times, based on reported comments from within the club. Alan Sheehan has stated, how if possible, he wants the new signings to be at the club, come the start of the 'new season training' in early July.
That extra month of learning about each other and our tactical approach (compared to our usual last minute 'desperation signings') could help negate, or certainly reduce, the 'new boys' lack of familiarity effect. Helping us to start the season more as a unit and ready for the trials and tribulations to come.
I've been wracking my grey matter, but it's hard to remember a more positive (dare I say exciting) pre-season for the club for many seasons...(2011 to 2015?) I seem to be spending a fair bit of my spare time, searching for articles/comments about the Swans, such is the uplifting effect it has on me.
The quality and 'professional planning' that is evidently going into our recruitment now, is like 'night and day' compared to our K & L ownership years.
Kudos and gratitude to our new focused and ambitious board. While they don't have football experience themselves, they have invested and brought in that experience. I could never understand how under K & L, a Championship club didn't appear to have any co-ordinated recruitment policy. Recruitment is the life-blood of any football club, let alone one in the Championship.
Letting Ben and Harry's contract situation develop as they did, is a prime example of that lack of professionalism. What efficiently run business encourages major assets worth millions, just walk out the door? Incompetence 'R' Us eh?
Football is a small world in the EFL and club/players talk. Any conversation about Swansea City will only be positive currently, helping quality players like Cameron Burgess to choose us, over rival bids from perceived bigger clubs.
Wow...It's like a breath of fresh air mun boys! | | | |

I once read that the 2 most important areas of a football team are Goalkeeper and goal scorer (centre forward) One keeps them out the other bangs them in.
We've got a decent goalkeeper in Vigoroux what we need now is firepower upfront | | | |

This is true but we need to sort out Key and Tymon now and not let it drag on. |  | | |

I think they will, but the club can extend by a year next summer. Depends if they fit the mould for a top six premier league side 😉
