It's still currently largely the same squad that finished 5th last year.

Binks & Bassette played in the first game.

Wouldn't read too much into it. It's pre-season, a tiny niggle will mean they won't risk playing someone. Doesn't mean they won't be moved on, just that not appearing in a friendly means nothing in terms of whether players are in plans.

Anyway, this has been a thoroughly entertaining read.

It's pre-season. He'll have just been looking at him, probably based on impressing in training.

Better than the other options we have.

Who knows. Maybe just misinterpreted what Robins had said in the interview.

2 are serviceable, the other one we'll find out when we see him in action.

How else would he identify him?

They should've brought in a replacement before they did though. Wasn't until Torp signed in January that the position was reinforced. Although think we signed Ayari on loan, which didn't work out (was that post-Hamer?).

Think so, yes.

It's on the one in the main picture too in the OP. If you zoom right in you can just about see it.

It was an interview with either Robins or Viveash. I'll see if I can find it later.

Not sure Hamer was last minute or a panic sale. He informed the club he wanted to leave immediately after the playoff final. Was sold on 12th August with 3 weeks remaining of the window. The mistake was not really bringing in a suitable replacement.

Gyökeres says hi.

In fairness, he's well regarded and looked good in the under 19's tournament this summer. Mens football is a different beast though.

Do you know what players it has on it? Any proof of authenticity on the signatures (i.e. pics of it being signed or proof of it coming as a signed shirt from the club)?

We won't. MVE will likely go, but if he doesn't there will be a lot more rotation than previous years.

Luka modric too. Didn't realise he had a stake in Swansea.
