Okay, so I decided that if I want to get anywhere with Swansea I'll have to focus on youth. I'm never going to get a budget big enough to buy top quality players, so I'm going to have to create them myself. My main goal here is to break the top 4 and get a competitive squad in the long run. Finished 5th last year and have a top 7 quality team, however in summer it seemed basically impossible to improve on what I had with a measly £10m budget (which was also funded with a 4m player sale). I'm hoping to remain top 7 for a few years while my players grow into their potential. Here are the youngsters I've picked up now and in the summer I will spend probably most of my transfer budget on young players.
800k:
2.5m (over 48 months):
1.9m (over 48 months):
1.5m (last year):
150k (last year):
1.2m (two years ago):
I have a lot of confidence in the first 4 and I think all of them have a good chance of becoming good players. If I can get all of these to develop well I have the spine of a good team. I'm going to look for a fullback and maybe a right winger in the summer to join these guys.
