Huffer starts for Barnet tonight! Great experience for him.

28 Jan 2019 20:32:09
He isn't having the best of games.

28 Jan 2019 22:41:35
Nor are Brentford, but he has made a few good saves too!

28 Jan 2019 22:05:32
Fair play to the boy. only been at the club for a couple of days. Does not know his teammates yet! Forced a draw with a very good attack minded Brentford team.

Judging by their forums, Swansea fans are rather displeased that this kid is coming to us. If they were chuckling or indifferent I would be worried, but they seem really quite peed off. Superb! for several reasons.

28 Jan 2019 18:49:26
Alun Curtis was a god down there.
Andy Robinson had just taken them to promotion
Remember that kid, Grimes? No neither do I!

I worry about Swansea produce, does it travel well?

28 Jan 2019 19:38:43
Grimes was a product of exeter axe. He just plays fkr them but exeter have the credit of his devolopment.

Freddie Bessone". enough said.

28 Jan 2019 19:51:53
Pablo.

Well said Wexy lad.

28 Jan 2019 20:32:19
Phew, cheers Wex, some light at the end of my very hard tunnel.

Bartley also came from The Swans and he did alright.

Robinson was not utilised properly at all and got out of shape.

If a player is valued at £12m at that age they are clearly highly rated so we would expect Swansea fans to be a bit miffed. plus if it happens it demonstrates that they are willing to let talent move on which we know from our own experiences is frustrating.

29 Jan 2019 09:07:19
Lee Trundle?

29 Jan 2019 13:43:38
He seemed to have trundled along ok.

28 Jan 2019 17:13:25
If James is worth 10mil then he better come with 2 guarantees.
15+ goals from the wing and certain promotion. I know I have faith in Bielsa but I am sure there must be equally as talented players out there for less money.

28 Jan 2019 18:02:01
Leo 8 goals and 8 assists a season would be acceptable for the price tag.

28 Jan 2019 18:18:24
Trust in bubba

Look what’s he’s done with the squad from last season

If he thinks this kid is needed/ can be improved I don’t doubt him.

28 Jan 2019 18:51:25
From what I have read, Biesla is the one asking for him. Blimey, if he can make superstars out of the players who were so dross last season I can only imagine what he is going to be able to do with a player he see potential in

Bring it on.

28 Jan 2019 18:55:11
With George and Woody on this one. Yes he looks a bit of a rough diamond, but MB has proved the effect he can have on players. Think that longer term, he will prove to be an astute signing.

28 Jan 2019 20:04:23
Just got home from work. Has be signed or about to?

28 Jan 2019 21:22:27
Bub hasn't asked for much or many. He has taken last year's rag tag under performers and turned them into Championship leaders despite having so many for so long on the treatment table. If Bub says he wants him, get him.

Thanks to LUTV just watched U23s v sheff Utd. Bit of a disjointed game and thought SU had a few good chances second half but a win is a win. Having not really seen him before I was impressed with McCalmont in midfield. Everything was neeat and cannot fault his work rate. I probably think he would be best served going out on loan for a season to get a first team experience but certainly a bright prospect. Also the performance of Aapo Halme made me again question why he wasn't utilised these last few games when we have been short at the back. He was dominant in everything he did. I can understand with Brown why they may say he needs more U23 games to get match sharp but the tempo of a U23 game is chalk and cheese to a first team match so, maybe (not Saturday) give him a first team second half, see how he goes. Those were my thoughts but I defer to the expert in U23 games. Spanish, what did you think.

28 Jan 2019 15:22:37
Thanks Leodis, I missed the game live today, car in for service and not ready on time! So lady to catch the live feed when I could. I agree with what you have said about Aaapo, I think he shown enough to be ready, and his height really helps in defense and attack. I think he is getting better each game.

The good thing about Izzie is that he’s scoring. He looks very laid back sometimes and not sure if that is just his natural style or a sign that he’s not yet up to speed.

What was Roberts like in the first half out on the wing and Oduor? He got the assist didn’t he. I always like the look of him.

28 Jan 2019 15:47:44
Roberts is getting better every time I see him, and looked good in parts again today. Brown is also getting better with every minute imo. Agree re Mcalmont Leo. I like Odour too; he shows some lovely touches, and has great, quick feet. I only saw the first half tho, but glad we held on for the win!

28 Jan 2019 16:32:54
Last week Bielsa indicated Brown would need 5/ 6 games in the U23's before he was fit enough for the first 11 so that's about 3 left to play.

28 Jan 2019 17:01:02
Brighty, together we can make a full review. I missed most of the first half, inc the goal. So not much to say on Roberts but Odour had a decent game second half.

28 Jan 2019 17:13:21
Izzy ready? 😁.

28 Jan 2019 18:08:12
I would try Izzy as an impact sub for first team for a couple of games till he is fit. Scores enough.

28 Jan 2019 18:19:14
Izzy whizzy and fairly busy?

28 Jan 2019 12:10:41
See Dallas has suffered an ankle injury and out for 6 weeks.

When oh when will this run of bad luck with injuries end?

28 Jan 2019 13:41:34
Tewi It ain't bad luck. It's to be expected with Bielsa style.

Our best investment this year should have been our own ward at the LGI.
