Should be done quickly. Finland international, has flair and reads the game well. Swans watched him in October when first interest was made known.
Kian Fitz-Jim, the Ajax defensive midfielder hasn’t turned the Swans down he has turned down leaving Ajax no matter the club atm.

Walta is a genuine #10 isn't he? |  |
| Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back. |

Seems to be, it also tells me there is planning underway for the summer or even this window. Nothing on that though. | |

Planning for the Galbraith departure. |  | | |

If this guy is a #10 then he's plugging a gap in the squad that has existed since Paterson left. I'd imagine that the other players we've been linked to are more potential Galbraith replacements. | |

Will this be a loan or a permanent signing? |  |

Fulton
Stamenic
Widdell
Franco
Galbraith
Walta
Yalcouye
Surely thats too many options in CM for a club too carry wages wise |  |

They're not all central midfielders. Some are better at 6, others better at 8. Walta is hopefully a #10.
Also worth considering that Yalcouye and possibly Fulton won't be here next season. That's not even taking into account possible interest in Galbraith.
This seems like a smart move. Acquiring a player that we rate highly even if it may be six months before we really need him just to make sure we have him is basically what we did with Widell anyway. [Post edited 30 Jan 12:32]

yeah i get they are different in terms of a 6 or 8 or 10 etc.
I'm hoping Walta is the 10 we are crying out for. I think Fulton will still. Could we send Yalcouye back and use that loan to bring in a winger which we so desperately need.
I forgot Cullen who also bizarrely is seen as a 10. Think it's time we moved him on if we can | |

They’re all hard working good footballers but with the possible exception of Galbraith who has obviously been playing right back none of them are particularly creative and that’s been our biggest problem for seasons now. Our strikers have been living off scraps really.
Hopefully walta will offer something different. |  |

Cullen's got no business being anything other than a bench option at best for a club with designs on promotion.
I like Yalcouye and think he could be a major player for the second half of the season but he needs a run of games to get used to the pace of the Championship. | |

I like Yalcouye too tbf, i just struggle with what our best 3 is in there. Good options to have mind you.
Would you see Galbraith staying at RB with the inverted role of drifting into midfield to create an extra body in there like Trent used to for Liverpool? | |

Cullen can really pick a pass and he’s a decent finisher, it’s the rest of his game that really lets him down. Hes weak on the ball, gets knocked over easily, takes ages to get control and turn, not very quick. Think if we played him as a pure striker just to stand in the box and give him decent service he could do a good job. His golden spell came playing up front with piroe alongside/behind him. We need to play players to their strengths and stop shoehorning them into roles that they simply don’t have the attributes for. | |

Doesn't matter who are the best 3, matos likes a high press and a counter press, as has been seen he rotates his midfielders so having another can only be good for the team on the park at the start and the of the game. [Post edited 30 Jan 13:17]

His golden spell was for about six weeks up until Christmas last season. Other than that he's been mostly useless. Can play the odd pass and score the odd goal but otherwise contributes very little.
Weak on the ball, weak in the air, not particularly fast. | |

Just waiting now for ‘the deal has stalled and the player is heading elsewhere’. Followed by ‘Boro sign Walta on long term deal. Hellberg gets his man’. Followed by ‘he was never our first choice anyway’.
Sorry but always seems to happen to us.😒🤪 | |

We certainly need a decent bench, my greater concern is the lack of quality and cover in the wide attacking areas, Ronald is 8 out of 10 until the final ball then he drops to 3 out of 10. Eom is improved but we lack someone to go past people and pick a pass in the final third, Inoussa looks like he can do it but is a bit of an enigma, hopefully the new winger will be able to.
Maybe I'm asking too much, if we had someone that good they would be in the Premier League? |  |

Should be fine by all accounts.

Actually, watching the highlight videos his style of play gives me more of a Johnny De Guzman vibe rather than that of a #10. | |

Yes. One of those midfielders comfortable picking the ball up deep, driving forward with it, pinging the odd long pass or just thumping it as required.
Similar to Galbraith in a lot of ways so there is perhaps a bit of succession planning involved here too, or it might be the case that EG is going to be playing RB for the rest of the season. | |
