Interesting read and it seems to me they know what they are talking about:
"Swansea have lost their two biggest assets this summer.
Manager Graham Potter, who co-ordinated incredibly audacious passing sequences last season and improved individuals at a remarkable rate, has left for Brighton.
Daniel James, a wide man with the unique ability to marry pace and close control, combined with pin-point crossing ability, has gone to Manchester United.
On paper, those two departures could be costly; the appointment of head of recruitment Andy Scott happened later than expected, so any impressive transfer business is likely to be late loan deals – Watford loanee Ben Wilmot is a talented young centre-back to partner Mike Van Der Hoorn.
Potter’s work last season, combined with Matt Grimes’ control at the base of the midfield, means there is already a tactical identity in place for new head coach Steve Cooper to maintain and enhance.
Oli McBurnie, although a target man by build, has been excellent dropping between the lines to allow attacking midfielders such as Nathan Dyer and Bersant Celina to make clever runs into advanced areas.
Even right-back Connor Roberts will often pop up in the box, which shows not only how hard the movement is to read, but also how well each player knows their roles.
Swansea play wonderfully audacious football and could be surprisingly competitive."
