Guest palnese Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Darlow isn't good enough. Yedlin is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemtizz Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 You did name Darlow as one of your players of the season, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Lots of players to shift. We almost need to shift 10 or more. There are nearer 15 we would need to replace within the next year. Can't see that kind of overhaul though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 I'd say we need to add about 5 quality players and we'll be absolutely fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Be interesting to see how we handle the keeper situation. Sels will obviously leave, but then we still have Elliot, Darlow and Krul. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 I'd say we need to add about 5 quality players and we'll be absolutely fine. Exactly, people going way overboard with the standard of competition in the PL outside the top seven. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to improve our spine, CB, CM, CF, quality out wide and a number 10 would be great. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To stay up i agree, but to be comfortable mid table the 7 or 8 players being asked for is probably accurate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest neesy111 Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 PL has moved up in quality across the league, can't use points of what teams are on as barometers for the quality of the league. If you actually watched the PL this season, you would had seen better games and quality compared to previous seasons across the board minus the bottom 2 IMO.

Exactly, people going way overboard with the standard of competition in the PL outside the top seven. Voice of reason there Dave. Ffs players like Sissoko, Gosling, Gini and Simpson who have been slated on here still play in the division, it didn't suddenly get 10 times better in the year we've been away. We do need to improve, but we don't need to completely rebuild, unless we are targeting the title next season which we surely are not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stottie Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Sell Mitro and Perez, get Llorente and Sigurdsson. Pay the wages and they would come, I reckon. Llorente offers goals, but in completely different way to Gayle. Though they look like they'll get relegated, Swansea are fourth in the PL with goals from set pieces. If job#1 is to get established back in the league, making the most of set pieces strikes me as easier than trying to break down teams with far better defenders than we've been playing. Marginal gains etc. etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Not a bad idea, was looking earlier and noticed they have 20 goals combined. Pretty good considering how bad Swansea as a whole seem to be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Aside from the fact they'd both have no sell on value, will be able to move to way more attractive propositions than ourselves then yes, they'd be good. A large percentage of our fans would nay like that 'lazy Spanish bastard' though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TheBallWinner Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Would prefer Sissoko back and Cairney as top targets. And a quality LB, DM and CF. Can't see Mitrovic staying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A large percentage of our fans would nay like that 'lazy Spanish b******' though. I know that's Ashley's obsession, but come to think of it, one consideration should actually be getting more experience into the squad to play at a higher level. We've been putting out teams with Gouffran as the senior pro as Darlow as third oldest. Maybe that's why we've been falling back instead of pressing on when ahead in games. If Fulham don't go up, then yeah Cairney looks great. With Sigurdsson, he's had the experience of not really playing for Spurs, so we'd have to attract him with a combination of Rafa, first-team football, and wages. I don't think it's out of the question. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 He'll be in MLS in a year or two on crazy wages This summer by all accounts. That said it's every summer for the past three years by all accounts. While I won't turn my nose up at a new RB we have strength in numbers there. I would offer Anita another deal. Yedlin has the talent to step up. Sterry is still an unknown quantity and who knows whether gomez will be worth keeping. A CB, LB, DM, AM, 2x Wingers, a top quality striker would be what I'm hoping for two strikers if we bin mitro or Perez. Most of the loanees will be back and hard to shift too. If he could just stay fit I'd keep DeJong and krul. Saviet is an unknown quantity. Riviere needs binning asap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raconteur Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 A lot of people have put a striker as a "must have", and we do need to improve our options up front, but we're going to have spend a heap of cash to get an upgrade on Mitrovic. Remember, he cost a lot just two years ago. I'd rather we plug the holes in the starting line up before we start improving the bench. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
