Is it me or does Rodon look like Hart’s son or little brother?
You are obviously in the
Doom Funk
camp then!
He looks older and stronger than his age
And his IQ is bigger than his shoe size too !
Will be interesting to see how he is used.
It's a shame he cant play in the EL as that would have been the perfect place to introduce him.
Luckily for him CB is our least established position so there's every chance he gets PL minutes if he impresses in training.

Is Dier actually injured or is this based on his "injury" midweek so he could skip the England game and (unfortunately) be ready to play for us tomorrow?
Nah I am in the dont believe in bullshit ITK trolling campYou are obviously in the
Never said we wouldn't sign Rodon , just dismissed any "fan" claiming to know the inner workings of a premier league football club
Initially felt quite sorry for Swansea only getting £11m plus add ons (so maybe £15m in total), which is probably only possible when a lot of clubs are skint, otherwise Swansea would have got a bigger fee (remembering Everton paid £25m for Ben Godfrey from Norwich earlier in this TW) .
But they have signed 30 year old Ryan Bennett from Wolves who played 90 games (PL/EL/Championship) for them including as a mainstay in their Championship winning side which got them to PL - on a free transfer. So a very decent experienced CB for the here and now. I wonder if Mendes influence at Wolves helped in that transfer.
They also signed England u20 CB Joel Latibeaudiere from ManCity (again on a free transfer), who I imagine is seen a 'one for the future' but who will probably start playing some games this season.
So whilst Swansea didn't get a big fee for Rodon, they've spent zero to replace him.
Probably both their incomings could only happen on free transfers this TW when all clubs are skint.
Its a funny old world - and no need to feel sorry for Swansea any longer !

A decent analysis of Joe Rodon's playing style
And we have Sissoko!!Lost out on Bale, Reguilòn and Rodon all in one transfer window
Tossers.
Why would we get rid of our current best CB and likely the best CB we have next season?
Looks like Swansea missed Joe today !!
its less about us getting rid and more of Toby going for his retirement fat pay-cheque
Levy would cash-in the moment a decent deal comes in which Toby is agreeable to
