WHAT. A. WINDOW.

Incredible.

It's probably already been said but lets not forget that our most expensive (I think) signing and probably the most exciting signing has hardly kicked a ball for us yet. I think Twine will be a massive player for us this season.

And who were these fortunes paid to Bill? I'd say Pope Tarkowski and others have repaid the club in oodles. Not to mention colossal profits on Gray, Wood and McNeil and others. Name me a club in the top division that hasn't lost out on some buys.

Players brought in to bulk out the squad who were never up to the job of actually sustaining a PL position.
And we all know who they are.
OK. That was the club's choice at the time, but my comment was in direct contrast to the reference to shopping at Aldi, and its relative merits.

There are usually some late signings whereby the paperwork has to be vetted in the morning by FA/EFL. More chance of movement out than in I would imagine.

By the end of the season we can change the chant to:
AI…AI…AI…O, up the football league we go
When we win promotion this is what we’ll sing,
We all love ya, we all love ya scouting team is king.

Obviously, Swansea didn’t need to sell.

Any player we have wanted, seem to have signed on the dotted line in general, which is unlike Burnley of old. Seems we have created a decent proposition with larger sell on clauses. It’s a bit of a risk, but worthwhile one if they can get us back into the Premier League.

Shame we didn’t get Delap, O’Hare or Obafemi… they wouldn’t been great signings if the reports are to believed, but we have enough I think to make a serious go at it.

201 pages of quite a journey with many a twist and turn, 90+% of those discussed I'd never heard of and I'll admit 100% of those signed I'd never heard of, but I'm sure going to know them from now on, hopefully a few will become UK household names, of course we'll be selling them on and repeating in the not to distant future.

However, a window like no other and don't expect anything like it in my life time, history created and hopefully future fans will reap benefits from this wholesale change and look back on the summer of 2022 as the start of something good.

I suggest they do need to sell but they are strong enough to do it on their terms.

They no longer have parachute payments and no club at this level can be sustainable and competitive without them or outside investment. Piroe and Obafemi will be sold sooner rather than later and the vultures will be back in January or next summer.

Next summer both players are going into the last year of their contracts and will be worth much less than they are now, it's a dangerous game for Swansea to play and they need to improve their results soon to have any chance of getting into the play offs.

Pickles · Post by **Pickles** » Fri Sep 02, 2022 12:27 pm

This and the original thread must come to not far off 400 pages in total. It's been really entertaining, thanks for the input everyone.

A brilliant transfer window.

Now it's time to really buckle up for the ride. It's going to be a fun one.

A weird one that.

Signed a long contract and then went on loan to a club a division higher.

We often see clubs getting players to sign long contracts before going on loan, but to lower leagues.

I think Everton have bigger priorities than centre half - a position they’re probably stronger in than they were at the end of last season. Tarky and Coady, with Keane and Holgate as back-up, is a lot stronger than just about any other part of the pitch in terms of depth.

nonsense article, why would Everton need to send scouts to watch him ? He's a classes above Everton.

agreenwood · Post by **agreenwood** » Sun Sep 04, 2022 6:34 am

Perhaps THB will go to Everton in the same way that we signed the two lads from Metz or us and Rovers signed the CB from Liverpool?

RVclaret · Post by **RVclaret** » Sun Sep 04, 2022 6:38 am

Ridiculous article from Nixon. Everton potentially interested in a player next summer. So many variables at play between now and then. And anyway, I hope there are many PL clubs interested in our players next summer as we’ll likely have been promoted after doing really well!

boatshed bill · Post by **boatshed bill** » Sun Sep 04, 2022 2:49 pm

THB is destined for better than Burnley (IMO) so perfectly understandable that some PL clubs would check him out.

Steddyman · Post by **Steddyman** » Sun Sep 04, 2022 3:02 pm

If he signed a season long loan with Burnley, can City sell him in Jan and we lose him? I thought that could only happen if there is a recall option in Jan for City.

Tricky Trevor · Post by **Tricky Trevor** » Sun Sep 04, 2022 3:17 pm

THB has been very good for us but I’m not sure he is PL level yet. We haven’t played anybody but Watford with the attack to test him. I hope to be proved wrong.

Quickenthetempo · Post by **Quickenthetempo** » Sun Sep 04, 2022 6:04 pm

Tarky and Coady were excellent yesterday.
THB wouldn't get in their side at the minute, but you can see why they would monitor for the future.

Swizzlestick · Post by **Swizzlestick** » Sun Sep 04, 2022 6:06 pm

They'll be plenty of clubs keeping tabs on THB. While obviously still raw, he has the attributes you want in a modern day CB.

Has been without a club since January.
If he's kept himself fit, then that has the potential to be a good signing for them.

Pieters did a fair job during his Burnley tenure, but thankfully the days of us offering new contracts to 34 year old's are now at an end.
