Cameron Burgess is a 6’4” left-footed centre-back. He is known for his ability to play the ball out from the back with his left foot. He is a strong, physical defender, and was a key player for Ipswich Town as they gained promotion to the Premier League. He played 18 games in the PL last season. He is also an Australian international, and will be participating in the 2026 World Cup.
Looks as if Darling has gone to Rangers with Russell Martin.

Mykola Kuharevich has joined Slovan Bratislava for an undisclosed fee, subject to international clearance.

[Iolo]

Ha Ha, ironically Darling has gone to the outbacks of Norwich, who finished below us in the table last season.
He was offered big money to stay here but Norwich offered more.

Next season’s PL fixtures have just been released.

So here they are, just released, the long awaited fixtures for next season.
We start the season away to Middlesbrough for the second successive time and even more annoying is that we are away from home for the 16th time out of the last 19 seasons, that can’t be fair can it?

Latest news is that we have apparently agreed a 1.5million deal for Ethan Galbraith, 24 year old central midfielder from Leyton Orient.
Quite a coup for the Swans as several clubs were after him
