SWANSEA SHOCK MOVE FOR FORMER BLUEBIRD

Swansea City have today been linked with a shock move for former Cardiff City defender Declan John.


Monday 6th August 2018

John left Cardiff City last season to join Rangers with playing opportunities limited at the Cardiff City Stadium.

However, it appears his playing time will now also be limited at Ibrox following the arrival of new manager Steven Gerrard.

Gerrard’s signing Jon Flanagan now looks like being first-choice left-back, leaving Declan John in the cold.

And the Welsh international will be allowed to leave this summer if he can find a club, according to the Sun.

The Sun also claim that Swansea City are interested in signing John on a loan deal until the end of the season.

The move would be a shock with John coming through the Cardiff City academy before representing the first team on 42 occasions in the league. He also went on to represent Wales five times after making his debut in 2013.

However, the 23-year-old is desperate for playing time after being left frustrated throughout his career so far.

Swansea City could be set to offer him that and it could be an opportunity for the Welshman to return to his home country.

A few have gone already. They've been after a few left backs as they've only got that Olsson lad. The Ayew's are close to going. Andre might have actually already gone out on loan with most of his wages being covered. Jordan was last close to Palace I saw? Mawson already gone for a decent fee so they should be OK to sign Declan John. He won't command a massive fee and he's not on big money wages wise.

I would hate to see him go to Swansea he will be crucified by there fans . He is not good enough for the championship and I would not like to see the kid get abuse he will get.

Sure he hit the post for us in the derby against the Jack's would have been a cult hero if he had scored

One of the most over hyped players we’ve had for a while.

It’s crazy that he played so many games in the premier league for us and people are more worried about how Peltier will get on.

Good quiz question
Who was the last player to play for cardiff and then swansea afterwards

I remember Roger Gibbins going to Swansea and I think he came back to us later. Obviously Toshack as well, but I expect there are more recent ones who I can't recall. Like you say, a good quiz question. Somebody on here will know for certain.

Just saw the Wayne Routledge answer above. Forgot all about him, never liked him anyway.

think your correct...since gibbins there has also been Curtis who of course played for them first then ourselves then themn again and tony bird sure there are others though

Wayne routledge is a good shout did not think of him

I was thinking Warren Feeney but think Routledge was after that

Been a long time since a home grown Cardiff player made the switch

No it hasn’t.

Jazz Richards left us to go to them

yes correct...but he was only 15

That’s another manager who has found him out

Declan, Done very well last season

Jimmy Gilligan...even had the audacity to score against us!

Declan, Done very well last season

He done fine, better going forward than defending though, Gerrard clearly doesn’t fancy him as he’s playing Flannigan, who’s right footed, before John. Also Rangers are supposed to be close to signing a Croatian left back.

Kevin Nugent another one, assistantwo manager as well at one point

cant really complain too much about that as they have a statue of a bloke that scored a hat trick for us against them

I heard he did well, but now Gerrrd is there he wants bigger names.

That was Darcy Blake.

Yes your right February 2011 what a day.

Cant defend to save his life, never the most interested in training at the city as well I heard.
Perhaps hes now knuckling down.

I never saw him as a left back. You could tell even when he came in at 18: he's a great dribbler; fast; and got a decent delivery - but can't defend. Converting him to a winger will be the best thing for his career. He'll be no Gareth Bale but he can be a decent player. So, if Sw***ea are bringing him to be a full back...they'll be disappointed.

The support liked him as he always put in a good shift, liked to cut in and even scored a few goals. I wish him well.
