Liam Walsh's injury hoodoo struck again just 10 minutes into Swansea's first game of 2024. Tough on Liam who'd just got a run in the team after his pre-season injury kept him out for months.

The local paper put it like this:

"The only disappointment for the Swans was an early injury for midfielder Liam Walsh, who was forced off inside the opening 10 minutes, and Sheehan will wait to see what the extent of the calf problem is.

“He has been outstanding recently, I am a massive fan of his, but we will have to have a look at it,” said Sheehan."

And player wise, Beto is a better option than Cannon

Agree to disagree I think Cannon will be top class and have a decent career in the top flight

Cannon was on 80k a week. We needed him off the wage bill

Fingers crossed for the lad, he will do okay for Leicester in the championship and hopefully kicks on, not sure he is physical enough for the prem.

Mate you’re a factor of 10 out I’d say , no way was Cannon on £4 mill a year! He signed a three year contract in 2022 at 19 when he was still part of the u21’s , we’ve been pretty stupid with our contracts over the years but we don’t give those type of wages to , at the time , unproven teenagers. Maybe you meant £8k a week for £400k per year.

Which is still bonkers money for any 19 yr old!

To be honest I haven’t a clue what we paid him , all I’m saying is it wasn’t £4 mill per year.

It’s really quite normal for first pro contracts.

Only at PL level I hope?

Well yeh, maybe big championship clubs too. It’s not a lot of money in modern football.

I was just joking based on some of Charlie’s posts in the Patterson thread

Looks like Baines won’t be moving. Dewsnip did appoint another scouser though
