I thought he was brought in because of his links/expertise but I’m yet to see any of it in action, I get that it’s early in his tenure but I was hoping it would be more ambitious/exciting than being linked with a 36 year old Tom Heaton. It still just feels like we are going from one extreme to another without a proper long term plan in place. This summer it feels like Wilder’s remit is to get us up next season hence the link with all the experiences pro’s but what if we don’t go up are we going to have another rebuild next year? It’s probably all paper talk rubbish anyway so let’s hope things pick up. Think it's worth remembering we've never had a problem identifying good players, we've always had a problem securing them and getting deals over the line. How many times have we ended up with our 4/5th choice over the past few years? KS is probably streamlining the whole process and making sure we get who our manager wants early doors. Don't think he's been brought in to magic wonderkids out of thin air after 6 months. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Don't think he's been brought in to magic wonderkids out of thin air after 6 months. He did an interview a few months back where he clarified that although he oversees the recruitment team, he really comes in at the end to get deals over the line so he will prove his worth based on whether or not we secure our prime targets.

As much as I'd love to get Gyokeres and in a dream scenario we'd get both, I think out of the links so far Armstrong is the most exciting. 4 Link to post Share on other sites
RiversideRed 1,216 Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 I’d prefer Piroe or Semenyo to be the one on the permanent. Semenyo out of contract in Summer 2023. He should be affordable with only a year left. £5m or so. Swansea need to sell, they need cash. Piroe won’t sign a new contract. It’s worth a go at trying to sign him. if not Piroe, make a move for Obefami. Link to post Share on other sites
Dan1234 1,056 Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Think Piroe is probably out of reach. For whatever reason he seems to have quite a bit more hype/interest in him than the others mentioned. Hasn't he also refused to sign a new contract as he wants a prem move? Just seems overall like a non starter. Link to post Share on other sites
TeaCider24 12,641 Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 There's something untrustworthy to me about a player forcing a move after only a year at a club when they're getting consistent game time. I doubt they'd think twice about doing the same thing here. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Southampton seem to be stagnating if not declining and we’re very much a side on the up. Link to post Share on other sites

Armstrong stopped getting picked in the second half of the season and struggled a bit when he did play, a loan makes sense for both parties there. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I’ll die on the hill that we need a more physical/link up player to go alongside a Gayle/Armstrong etc. We badly missed that last season hence why quite a few went a bit too far and said we missed Uche. A Gyokeres/Piroe type player would be perfect 4 Link to post Share on other sites
