Their parrot shoot payments have finished - they'll be cutting back right, left, and centre. They either can't afford to keep him, or he has told them he can't work with the budget they have given him. Ayew has gone. The defender they had on loan last season has just signed for Palace. Back to reality for them.
From the BBC: "Cooper impressed in his two seasons at Swansea, finishing sixth and then fourth in the second tier despite working on a limited budget." Limited budget? Wasn't Ayew on £80k a week?!
Best players have all gone. Woodman Guehi Hourihane Ayew Roberts out injured until October. Routledge out long term Clubs after Grimes who is in his final year. Doesnt leave them much.
Hardly limited they had parachute payments. Wish we could have afforded conor on loan and ayew upfront.
I saw this earlier in the week on an independent Swansea site and I had a wee giggle. Another news story on the same site had them being linked with Barry Bannen and I had a bigger giggle.
Steve Cooper was one of my first favourite players when I started watching the super reds. I'll never forget his goal celebrations.
He’d be delighted to come second if he was the only one who entered! Despite how well they’ve done under him, Swansea fans have been on his back for ages and hate the type of football he plays. Massively over achieved as far as I’m concerned and they should be careful what they wish for.
Horrible *******, I wish him nothing but failure. His team was cynical and ***** and he never had the class to respect when he had been outthought or his team had been outplayed.
