Interesting fact - Swansea born players have won a total of 942 caps for the welsh national side - more than 70 caps more than cardiff born players have earned and more than double the amount of caps Wrexham born players have.

Players born in Swansea have won the most Wales caps

Birthplace Total Number of Wales Caps
1 Swansea 942
2 Cardiff 866
3 Wrexham 468
4 Newport 349
5 Neath 307
6 Llandudno 190
7 Bangor 188
8 St Asaph 183
9 Chirk 171
10 Merthyr Tydfil 169

Maybe that might shut them up

Much stronger. Quality backup/competition for every spot. If we avoid injuries we will be knocking on the door come next April I’m sure. That’s not arrogance that’s based on the ex PL teams not being as strong as last season and how well we did without such quality in depth and only half a season of Sheehan. Let’s be optimistic for a change.

We have at least 10 months to prepare. The owners will be happy loaning transfer money to the club and getting it back when the TV money starts rolling in. We will be asset rich player wise, some top end Championship clubs will take players off us who have performed well but maybe aren’t quite good enough for the step up. That of course is IF we gain promotion.

Weird, according to them we seem to have been left with a gaping hole in midfield due to Joe Allen’s retirement. What?

I think there’s an old saying “good players look like they’ve got a lot of time on the ball”. Completely true with Galbraith and I bet he’s got quite a few tricks still up his sleeve.

The other player to stand out like this is Inoussa - his passes in and around the box are intelligent and beautifully executed. His pace gives him more time to think but he’s clearly a thinking footballer and cool as a cucumber - Ronald doesn’t seem to have that luxury and it’s a pity because he definitely had pace but now it seems to have disappeared.

Swansea City : Manuel Benson and his injury struggles we hope are now behind him
at 15:16 3 Sep 2025

Agreed - but with the cover we have we are cleverly insuring us against player burnout. When they aren’t flogged to death and get rested they have a much better chance of avoiding injuries.

Absolutely correct my fellow Bristolian Jack in exile - I think the board have gone balls put because when we are back in the PL because commercially they will have far greater opportunities to grow our commercial income especially with the likes of Modric and Snoop dog banging our drum.

I really hope that ground expansion is an aim - under Huw and co and Levien and Kaplan that was not the main aim. If we could get to 30-35,000 we could be much more flexible with ticket prices which will serve to bring more mums dads and their children to games. That’s where the future of the club lies and growing the fa base and the stadium should be a priority if we go up.

As for Ronald - on his day can be unplayable but quite a lot of the time he can be a bit selfish, lose thr ball by aimlessly passing it or trying something too flash and just throwing his hands up in the air a bit petulantly when it goes wrong. He will learn a lot by watching Benson and hopefully that will make him a much more consistent player. Same with Eom and Inoussa who I feel will be a big star for us and Sweden.

By the way - are you in or around Bedminster/Southville or Ashton?

Exactly, we’ve signed so many quality players it’s easy to forget some of them. Just shows how competitive we’ve become

Zân Vipotnik Transfer : Our March report on him leaving in the summer seems to
at 14:50 3 Sep 2025

I can’t remember comparing him to Lineker if I did I think you misunderstood me. There is no way he’s like Lineker - Lineker was a 6 yard poacher Vipotnik certainly isnt that. Like I tried to say he thrives on having the ball played for him to run onto and shoot with nothing feet (again not a strength of Lineker) and likes to hit the ball hard from outside the box.

You have been on the Vipotnik out bandwagon for a long time and you’re still slightly disappointed by his recent success and that he hasn’t been transferred elsewhere. Which I find a strange mindset now considering he now has very talented and clever players who are giving him the service that he needs to score.

He was hailed as the championship ( therefore the EFL by extension) player of the year in 22/23 - and we’ve got him as back up 🤣.

Seriously - he is going to have a massive effect on Ronald whose own performances can be a bit hit and miss. We can manage him well and it’s not like we are demanding he plays 90 minutes every week but the whole window has done this for (now) all positions. As long as the squad have the mindset of “I’m going onto the pitch to give 100% for the team before I come off for a rest” and look on the season as a job share exercise with no ego’s being put out I think we can really do something special this season. Especially if the encourage and support their fellow positional colleagues it will be a great season for us.
