Incoming? And outgoing .

Widell scored today and was by far the best player on the pitch.

Wrap him in cotton-wool. We don't want him getting hurt running around like a lunatic.

 

[jackodiamonds]

I know it's super early days but I have the feeling that Widell is going to be special. I think he'll be a standout in the division and another Piroe in that he'll be sold within 2 seasons for a big figure. Maybe Swansea get promoted before that happens.

 

[The Blobster]

I think Widell and Anoussa are two excellent upgrades on our current squad.

Three more matches and that's it.

Blair McKenzie joins from Aberdeen: Blair McKenzie | I'm looking forward to the journey ahead | Swansea

Bio: Blair McKenzie - Player profile

19 year old CB. Last season played on Scottish L1 for Montrose on loan - 19 appearances for them. Will start with our U21, but with the Darling probable departure he may get a chance.

 

[ivoralljack]

If he and Santos eventually settle in we'll have a towering presence at CB with both of them standing 6ft 5". I'd hope they'd dominate the high crosses but both seem decent on the deck as well. Be interesting to monitor their progress.

Ben Davies extended with Spurs until 2026.

Fabianski is to be a free agent at the end of the month.

The team is allowed to sign players who haven't already played for the club...

How is that in keeping with free agency?

Congreve is back and looking to make waves: Cameron Congreve feeling confident after successful loan spell | Swansea


Here is a peach of a goal he scored in the FA Cup against Newcastle:

A mature finish ... we need this from midfield. I think he's going to have an impact.

 

[ivoralljack]

I read that we may be in competition with Wrexham for Lewis O'Brien and the figure mentioned was £3.5 million. For me he's worth that but will the Hollywood factor prevail even if we fight for his signature?

 

[Yankee_Jack]

LOB or Congreve ... tough call? And then there's Cooper. Best to take LOB on loan with the option continue at the end of his contract.

Hull also in for LOB. Congreve says he really enjoyed his loan spell where he scored 6 goals with 7 assists during the season. His time is coming.

 

[CroJack]

We need both Cooper and Congreve. Cooper in the central, and Congreve together with Widell in the attacking midfield.

Cameron Burgess has joined from Ipswich on a three year deal.

29 year old centre back. Another big unit - 6'3", good in the air, good tackler, likes making clearances.

He started 16 games in the Prem last year. Looks like a decent pick-up.

No re-sale on this one so I imagine he's a starter and that probably means Darling is gone.

Natural lefty, too. Player acquisitions dept is killing it this year.

 

[Yankee_Jack]

That’s two CBs in a week or so.

Adios Darling.

 

[Yankee_Jack]

Club must have decided to cut Darling loose and move on. Can’t say I’m disappointed. Looking forward to seeing the two new big units. Competition for Cabango for sure.

Where are we shy now? FBs? Better #2 keeper?

We finalized our coaching staff on Friday.

 

[jackodiamonds]

FB cover would be good. Should cut Tijoe-A-On if he's never going to play.

My friend is an Ipswich fan. This is his assessment of Burgess:

"Clearly you wanted the modern day equivalent of Mertesacker. Solid defender but lanky and slow as fuck"

When I asked if he was at least good in the air, he said

"Yeah but just hope he wins the header. Because if it goes over him he ain’t catching them"
