What are people's thoughts on him watched him yesterday, looked lost and very lazy yesterday from what I thought. He wasn't the only one who was poor but I really can't see him lasting long here and feel he will be back in Scotland. I think he will be on good money as well, after he rejected new contract from Peterborough and joined us. Just feel money can be spent better in other places ..
Others thoughts ?

I haven't seen enough of him to comment at this stage, but he is a body and we are lacking a bit in those.

SlowerThanPlatt · Aug 2, 2015

I posted a link the other day from the Dundee United forum that we want to swap their player Ryan Dow for him

torchomatic · Aug 2, 2015

I like Swanson actually. I think he gets a lot of bad press. All the players looked "lost" yesterday. What's the news with his injury anyway?

SlowerThanPlatt · Aug 2, 2015

Dow's scoring record makes Marcus Tudgay look like a goalscoring sensation

sw88 · Aug 2, 2015

Jury is still out for me. Yesterday aside, he has been getting involved in games. Not sure he's the winger we need, but he has offered us a route on the left hand side we probably were missing last season (surprising given that he was actually on our books!).

If if we could get a fee for him, I think he'd be disposable, although he looked like he'd done himself a mischief yesterday so any move will likely be put on hold while he sorts that injury out.

if he stays I think he could offer us something, but something tells me he'd rather return to Scotland.

ccfcdale · Aug 2, 2015

I couldn't disagree more. I think he's come back a better player. He's playing good at the moment.

stupot07 · Aug 2, 2015

I think he's pretty average and very inconsistent. I can see why he's struggled to hold down regular place at most of the club's he's been at. And I agree with sw88, not the type of winger we need if Mowbray is going to persist with 4231.

If we can get a 100K or so, get rid now IMO.

Rather we brought in a tricky, fast winger on a free.

Mark Marshall anyone?

Kingokings204 · Aug 2, 2015

He isn't the answer. Get rid. Injury prone and seems lazy to me.

M&B Stand · Aug 2, 2015

Archetypal journeyman. Not what we need if we're gonna compete this season.

hill83 · Aug 2, 2015

'Lazy' always makes me laugh. No footballers are lazy.

Covstu · Aug 2, 2015

I don't mind him but he is not very consistent which is the issue. Still think he has more to offer.

you couldnt single him out he didnt look any worse then lameries or maddison every ball over to him was 10 ft to long and everytime he had the ball hes touches were to loose it was a problem across the field not just with him oxford looked like they were 2-3 weeks ahead of us in pre season somethings gone wrong somewhere just gotta hope it clicks back into place for the wigan game

Chipfat · Aug 2, 2015

David Bell springs to mind,, must be a player in there somewhere to get to the pro level,, but not sure he is the type we need right now....

junglej13 · Aug 2, 2015

Would offload Swanson. Possibly has some ability but he's never fit enough to show it.

who would you bring in that is better?

Definitely.

johnwillomagic · Aug 2, 2015

I would disagree on this rare occasion with Hill83 some players are undoubtedly lazy.
However some of the lazier players were brilliant so compensated......Le Tiss springs to ming.

Unfortunately Swanson is not Le Tiss......that being said still think it is worth giving him a crack this season.

Bradford's Mark Marshall?

Samo · Aug 2, 2015

Where is that lad from QPR these days... was it Petrasso?

Michael Petrasso. After a quick google, he's still at QPR, not on loan anywhere yet.

I rate him from what I saw.

Yes ccfc92, Mark Marshall who signed a 2 year contract for Bradford in July 2015?

Wheelfass · Aug 2, 2015

Thought he did ok in the first half at Cambridge.

oakey · Aug 2, 2015

Certainly no improvement on Barton who few had any time for.

Barton is garbage

fernandopartridge · Aug 2, 2015

I'm willing to give him a chance, certainly a few games as TM tries to implement his system.

lifeskyblue · Aug 2, 2015

I think he will get his chance. First few competitive games then we will see if he is good enough and whether TM thinks he fits his system.

He didn't have the posture of a footballer to me. It looked like everything he was doing was forced and unnatural.

Would drive to London to get him now of it meant him coming back! Definitely the sort of winger we are crying out for, but then again with wingers you need a target man, so might have to pick one of them up too en route!

Hope you got s minibus. Pick up a dozen would be better

You lot are funny. Condemned our team before they have kicked a ball in anger.
I'll put it down to nervous apprehension for the season ahead.

...onwards & upwards PUSB
