Przemyslaw Placheta has signed from Norwich, basically on a free. His contract was due to expire in the summer and Norwich have agreed to let him go early as he was not to feature in their plans at all. Swans have him on a 6 month contract at the moment. He's another winger, but he can also...

Press reporting Arsenal winger Charles Sagoe Jr is coming in on loan for the rest of the season. A counterpart for Ronald. He can play either flank apparently, same as Ronald.

Media's hilarious no? All that talk about Brandon Cooper having his loan terminated by Leyton Orient for a bad disciplinary record, and they go and sign him on a permanent deal 😂

Looks like the Swansea brass are finally listening to @CroJack and have (allegedly) started looking to the frozen north for inspiration. It's not Kjetil Knutsen, it's Jimmy Thelin. He's the Elfsborg manager. His most recent record is 20 wins in 30 games (4 draws, 6 losses), +33GD (59 scored, 26...

Luke Williams of Notts County has been linked with Swansea. Young, only managed at League Two level, but his philosophy is good. Here he is discussing his commitment to short corners: A little cocky but he's right. Notts County also keep the ball in-play more than any other side in League...

Nathan Jones was supposedly in the Swans director's box for the Cardiff game. He's old mates with Paul Watson and a Cardiff lad so perhaps it was just social, but then again maybe not..? Watson has to have a contingency at this point. Is Jones it?

Swansea lads enjoying an ice cream in better times (i.e. last week), spotted by @Ladygargar - I make it (l-r) Liam Walsh, Pato, Azeem Abdulai, Jerry Yates, Jamal Lowe, Kristian Pedersen

Russell Martin's dig at Swansea: When quizzed on Southampton's transfer window, he quipped: "I know, the transfer window's very different here to Swansea, we sign players here." #1: A good manager shouldn't need to sign players to prove they can manage. "Managing" is about managing the players...

Reports saying Benda is going to Fulham. Potentially good move for him. I like what I've seen of Rushworth so far, but Benda was just as strong before his injury.

Remember that time Paul Clement came to Swansea and started the season with 8 central midfielders and no left back? Looks like Swansea are finally making up for it. Nathan Tjoe-A-On: Swansea City bid for Excelsior's Dutch defender

And Cameron Toshack was let go at the same time... :unsure: Martin gets poached by Leeds, Swansea get Toshack?

Have you seen the four questions the trust are planning to ask the board regarding this transfer window? I know they have the best of intentions but they sound like survey questions from the end of a day-long corporate training seminar and make about as much sense: 1. What decisions or events...

Some light reading here to make you all feel better about the Swans.

Planet Swans posted this today about Martin's poor man management and the suspicion that he is a divisive personality that marginalises potentially useful players to the detriment of the team, something many of us have been saying for a while now. Very interesting to see the story from his MK...

Turns out Benda's injury is pretty bad. So this means Fisher (goodbye positive goal difference) or a loan 'keeper for the remainder. Not great news for a team that plays defence like they're running a charity for opposing strikers.

Looks like Garrick's been sold to Forest Green for an undisclosed sum. Shame to see him go, never given a real chance etc. Who's next?

I consider 0.5 goals-per-game to be elite. It's what Bony MK I achieved with Swansea for example. Last season, Joel Piroe managed 0.57 gpg, and Obafemi 0.53. Hard standards to maintain. This season, Piroe is down to 0.32 which is still ok (0.3 is what an "average" striker produces and I'd say...

The prediction supercomputer at FiveThirtyEight thinks Swansea have as much chance of winning the Championship as they do getting relegated: 2%. Interesting stuff
