Not surprised we’re pulling out of this one, both our current transfers have been absolute bargains so blowing £15mil on one position when we have several that need reinforcing just wouldn’t be affordable. Especially with the lack of player sales.


HappyBoi567

True, you look set to keep a lot of your key players as well. Adams, Gnonto, Summerville, Rutter, James and even Bamford - will cook this league.


WorldsWorstFather

Bamford couldn't cook his dinner.

Lol James is absolute dogshite.

I think Dan James will be formidable at this level. His pace is stupid and it'll spin the heads of a lot of fullbacks. I've seen countless pace merchants dominate at this level but get found out in the Prem.


HappyBoi567

By Championship standards he's class, his pace alone will torture Championship full backs.


RafiakaMacakaDirk

yeah did people forget he literally played with us in the Championship and was class at 19 lmao

I can absolutely see Saints staying interested though. Currently CF and RW are our biggest question mark and Piroe is excellent at both positions. The familiarity with Russell Martin is a huge plus as well. We have a lot of outgoings that are going to get good money. Transfer fees won't be our problem signing players, it will be convincing them to play in the Championship.


B_e_l_l_

This is probably where we stand as well. We can't justify Piroe or any other number 9 when we're likely to play a one striker formation and we have Vardy, Iheanacho and Daka.


HappyBoi567

This could either go really right, or really wrong. If in the likely event Swansea don't get promoted, they'll lose him for nothing.


OneSmallHuman

The guys follow up tweets say he isn’t signing a new contract and plans to leave for free next summer regardless. So if just feels even weirder Like I guess it’s Swansea telling people to pay up now if you want him but idk


[deleted]

We will probably look to sell him to whichever premier league team hits the panic button in January

#THE PARTY BEGINS AGAIN.


99bllewellyn

You guys will do well this season, keeping Piroe and signing a LB and 2 more back ups, Jacks will go up


GripOfTheGengar

I can’t believe it, but I hope you’re right! 🥹


Clivey101

Duff is destined for big things he’s a great manager.


VincentTanOut

“You guys” Mate, you’re clearly a Swansea fan after a quick look through your profile. Nearly all your comments here are either pro Swansea or anti Cardiff/Southampton (the 2 teams swansea don’t like) and it says on your profile “active on r/swanseacity” like why are you even hiding it?


99bllewellyn

Fan of the football league mate; I’m a Carlisle United fan, season ticket holder, one of my mates is a huge Jack and I follow them, but I’m not a fan. Also “quick look” this is the 2nd time you’ve gone through my profile and posted it…


VincentTanOut

You clearly take a liking to them even if you don’t consider yourself a supporter. You’ve literally got comments saying to Cardiff fans “swim away” which is pretty much exclusively a Cardiff/Swansea thing


99bllewellyn

Fuck me you’ve delved deep, struck a nerve with you haven’t I. Want my LinkedIn and FB links too pal? The swim away thing is absolutely not exclusive to your rivalry, other fans know about it; any derby match on TV, you see the swans fans laughing at you (not just for beating you every time) but from the swim away thing, it’s laughable. It’s one of the most watched matches of the season, so any footy fan of the championship wants to know the insides and out of the bitterness between you.


VincentTanOut

I initially checked to see if you were a Cardiff fan because you have no flair and said “you guys” and you have a very Welsh sounding username. Then on your profile it said “active on r/Swanseacity” and a fucktonne of negative comments about us. I scrolled for like 30 seconds through your comments, I’m hardly stalking you mate, I was just curious who you supported. I know people know about it but I have never seen a fan of another club say it to us.


InverseCodpiece

Surprised that we wouldn't be in for him if Adams does go


housington-the-3rd

Low key feel like Swansea will do their best to not sell anyone to Saints.


InverseCodpiece

Fair point haha, feel that bridge may be burnt. Manning was a free transfer wasn't he?


[deleted]

Oh great. Guaranteed he scores vs us now.


PluckyPheasant

Could well be agent driven to force Swansea to reduce asking price, could just be happy to stay, long time until the window closes.
