One has to ask what the intelligence services have been doing for the last decade. It seems we had a least two loose cannons associated with Epstein and one handing over sensitive private information about UK for use of Foreign states.
If they knew this which we pay them to know how on earth did The Prime Minister appoint the man to be US Ambassador.?
Either they did not know or the system is so rotten they just did not get involved and are part of the leaking process and organising a " soft landing" so as not to "undermine trust" in British state institutions. It could be no one has a clue and WFH ( working from home) to avoid the Ulex or whatever it's called.
Another theory of course is the intelligence services themselves had freebees paid for by Epstein and his presumably middle east backers.
He seems to be heading the ball cleaner these days and actually scored one or two with his head. For a player that wanted to be No 9 this was an area he needed to improve. There were example where he missed a goal going with his feet where a diving header was a goal.
I saw him playing for Wales u21 about 10 years ago. Wales young player of the year O'Sullivan never made it scored two and i cannot remember anyone else. Declan could not tackle anyone and gave the Bulgarian a free pass. No good if you are a fullback. Fast though.
He must have made a lot of money. £5 a week is pennies for a footballer but big money for a jobbing footballer. £250 k for 10 years then retire.
DJ was one of Cooper's "Non negotiable four" humiliated in an FA cup ties at QPR by Ilhyas Chair and others.
John, McKay, Petersen and Celina. Three from memory never players for him again and Celina went later along with Asoro. Coops never had too many v big losses.
Lads alike Callum Jones, Haywood and Popham are getting plenty of action with the u18 progressing in the v cups as well and turning out for both and doing really well.
There must be a few more full Welsh internationals coming through.?
Ricardo Santos is still at the club and is here until. 2027 so too expensive to pay off.
I wonder if he has a use as a last 15 min. Swansea lost to Millwall and a few others due to last minute set piece goals. When the pressure is cranked up a 6 for 5in defender is just the ticket. Galbraith/ Key / Tymon get out jumped Santos does not as he has the physical presence in theory.
Fine margins fine adjustments. Unlucky 1-2 away defeats are a Swansea speciality with the winner in last 15 mins as teams go direct. In the past Swansea would play keep ball under Potter and Martin as a tactic to keep the monsters out of the six yard box .
A loan to buy i usually includes a pre-agreed final fee and payment terms (as i understand it) This is good for Swansea as if he plays brilliantly Sirius cannot up the price.
The first option is no good to Swansea if it is £15m unless another team has offered £18m. I recall a centre forward playing for Watford I think who was on loan and the players valuation rocketted and he was moved on the same day to another team as Watford (?) could not afford it as they did not get promoted. They flipped the player.
After some research it was Benik Afobe. Taken for HITC
[An example that will be fresh in a lot of people’s memories, Benik Afobe’s double-transfer window came in the summer of 2018. The Congo international looked a real danger man in League One and in the Championship with MK Dons and Wolverhampton Wanderers, before Eddie Howe offered him a crack at the Premier League with Bournemouth in January 2016.
£10 million was the fee, but after a disappointing start to the 2017-18 campaign, the Cherries made Afobe available in the January transfer window. He returned to Wolves, on-loan, but with the option to make the deal a permanent one for the same £10 million fee he had been sold for. Afobe scored 6 goals in 16 games to help his former club win promotion to the Premier League, and they took up the option to make the deal a permanent one in the summer.
They seemingly had little intention of playing him in the top flight though, and just 11 days later Wolves turned a £2 million profit on the 26-year-old who joined recently-relegated Stoke City. It looked like a smart piece of business by the Potters, but Afobe managed only 8 league goals last season, and Stoke were the most underwhelming side in the division.}
Kyrrel Wilson is selected every week and usually subbed about the 70 min mark.. He is not scoring enough goals with only one on he is debut . He is regarded as a winger in Falkirk. He needs to get 50 games under belt find the pace of the senior game then hope f he presses on.
All the four loan players in n Scotland will be ready to contribute next season with 50-100. ;games behind them with the basics skills and experience in places.
Cullen and Ollie Cooper were slow burners. Cullen continues to improve Cooper has regressed it seems and should go and help out his old mates ant Newport.. Cabango is captain. Abdullai who I used to love watching is now central midfielders for Orient
His initial promise was as a 17 year old. He is still only 19. If he can develop resilience he could still be a prospect.
Swansea seem to give a lot of patience to home grown players Josh Thomas, Cotterill Congreve and Lloyd. Thomas is similarly dogged by injuries and has done nothing over two seasons. Al Hamadi and Kyle Joseph did eventually get £1m+ fees for League one teams. None of these guys were reported to be scouted by the big guns as far as i know.
I was under the impression that the player had left the club permanently. He has barely played. I am not an expert but the club needs to work to improve the players resilience and not rush him back. His brother was at the club for a few years and barely played.
Hopefully he is now fit. He has gas and was highly rated. Scouts from the giants wets reported looking at him. Very good prospects can stay at Swansea only perhaps if f they have " risk baggage".
12-0. Sort of scores Arsenal Chelsea and Man city academies get. Two great results against Yorkshire teams.
I give credit to Swnsea for Doncaster being poor,
Take from SCFC2
"Doncaster – coached by former Derby and Republic of Ireland international Paul Green – had drawn with QPR and beaten Brentford and Mansfield to get this far, but today’s side was totally outclassed."
A pretty silly last line. UK is a very safe place a but isolated incidents can occur. A woman is shot dead by a Leicester based hit squad in Talbot Green Cardiff but it does not make national news. Drug related apparently.
The Walsall incident was months ago.
UK is bound to have immigrant issues just like most of the Western world. Most are well behaved but one or two are violent. UK government have realised old RAF camps are the best place for them. Not so good for the locals but we Welsh had to put up with industry and mining fumes drowning of our valleys and now wind turbines.
It is about software not hardware. I personally would never do a deal with the team of Trump, Wittkoff and Hesgeth or even Rubio.
Trump is conflating issues and using leverage where it does not belong. The Canadian Prime minister Carney is navigating this quagmire and probably will outlast Trump and MAGA and try to deal with a more constructive partner.
The principle outline here is that Trump is using the power of USA government to make threats to European allies to slow up and block the USA Department inquires into himself.
This explains why Trump is making threat to his allies. It is to stop them providing evidence against him. This smart guy says it is a type of "witness intimidation" .
They can all highlight issues and discuss issues but none can do anything about it." I would deport the lot of them" is easy to say but illegal and not that easy anyway as seen in the USA.
In order to do this you need the Digital iD card. Illegal workers cannot get this card and would not be eligible for services such as the NHS. I reckon right wingers should be "all in" on a digital iD with the Police allowed to do mandatory iD checks. I saw this in practice in my time living in Turkiye having my iD checked about 10 times. Turkiye has decades of experience of migration being the land bridge between Asia and Europe.
People will identify themselves when services stop. NHS, prescription, schooling welfare payments etc. People without these could be issues temporary cards and told to consider leaving UK. UK would help people relocate once they are not eligible for services paid for by the taxpayer. When I lived in Turkiye as a foreigner I had to have Private medical insurance.
One way of reducing cash leakage is not to target certain things after month of analysis but simply cut the budgets of all of these hundred of bodies 5% across the board. A softer approach is to freeze the funds like Mrs Reeves has done to Pensioners by freezing the tax free allowance to 2030.
I favour an "all in it together" approach to cutting the deficit and debt. For any Nation the leader must also make sacrifices That means King Charles III, who took a £200k a day PAY RISE from the profits of England and Wales Wind farm fees.
Rupert wants a gong probably so will not raise this issue
It is a land grab pure and simple The problem with turning a blind eye to Israeli Military and annexations is that others will copy and expect the same indifference.
The Ukrainian military is developing fast and has lots of new UK kit to use to kill Russian trespassers. Welsh jobs are being created. F16 are now part of the Ukrainian air force and Gripens will join down the line with Swedish radar planes. Europe is replenishing its stocks of missiles of all sort.
Ukraine and NATO just needs to hold the line. Putin is 72 and it should be clear to all Russians hat Ukraine SMO as been a disaster.
The sanctions are biting Russia and the economy is under strain. Trump is distracted elsewhere and will let the combatant battle it out. Analysts say 900 causalities a day you say 9 or less.
Russian should not be allowed to decide when and where the war and sanctions end. The removal of Putin and the FSB should be the first demand of the West, Otherwise sanctions stay on indefinably. It is up to Russians to remove them and end the nuclear blackmailing.
