Samuel Kalu stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Samuel Kalu and Botev Plovdiv agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Samuel Kalu in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Botev Plovdiv this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Words at Botev Plovdiv training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Enock Kwateng is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

The Swansea City Courier

Malmo FF come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Swansea City did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Ronald runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 24. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Tempers go at Swansea City

Ronald was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Real improvement from Joel Cotterill at Swansea City

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Joel Cotterill is 22, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Amar Dedić falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad16 Aug 2027

A late step up for Marko Stamenić

At 25 the improving is meant to be over. It is not: 3 points better than the mark taken at the start of the year, which is the sort of thing that happens to players who take the boring parts of the job seriously.

Swansea City come up short against Cardiff City

Cardiff City left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Jacob Cook leaves for nothing

Contract settled, hands shaken, no fee changing hands. Jacob Cook leaves Swansea City the quiet way, and the wage bill breathes a little easier.

Harlan Perry leaves for nothing

Contract settled, hands shaken, no fee changing hands. Harlan Perry leaves Swansea City the quiet way, and the wage bill breathes a little easier.
