Plenty to do and lets hope management get on with it with immediate effect.
We have not had a purposeful close season with the building blocks for promotion put in place for a long long time. Our future is in the hands of Rad and Massimo.
Just listened to the post game comments. Monk giving nothing away about his future. Bartley stated he has heard NOTHING from Leeds United and will therefore be a Swansea player next week. Confirmed he only came here because of Monk is and that management need to tie him down NOW. He wont be here in the future if Monk isnt.
Get these situtations sorted out ASAP. Give us a chance to have a decent well organised close season friendlies.
Monk
Jansson
Bartley
Taylor
Hernandez

Looking at your list you feel:
2 first choice central defenders (Bartley/Jansson)
A left back
Some deadwood in midfield. Would look to move on O'Kane. Send Phillips out on loan. Personally would have Dave back but he's not in the plans so he may as well go with Murphy too. I would also move on Dallas, Antonsson and Erwin.
In terms of incoming. For midfield, Bridcutt and Vieira as back up. We need 2 quality proven centre midfielders.
We need 3 winger/forward signings. Hernandez would remain as a squad option. Roofe and Doukara solid options from the bench too.
Finally, we must find a solid target man who can be back up to Wood.
So I make that 7 signings not including Bartley and Jansson.
We need quality, not players with potential.
