Swansea City snubbing Fulham transfer opportunity looks more baffling now
Cyrus Christie could be set for a second spell at Swansea City with it recently emerging that the Irish international is currently on trial with the club after being released by Hull City in the summer.
Christie joined Swansea on loan from Fulham in January 2022, and he enjoyed a successful short-term loan in south Wales, becoming a mainstay in Russell Martin’s side as the Swans enjoyed a decent finish to the season, but a permanent move never materialised.
Plenty of supporters would love to have seen Christie join on a permanent basis following his loan spell, and despite his release by Fulham in the summer of 2022, Swansea took a different route and the right-back would instead join Hull City.
However, two-and-a-half years on, free agent Christie is now on trial with the Swans along with fellow experienced Championship man Adam Reach, and given the fact they turned down the chance to sign him in the summer of 2022, it’s understandable why some Swansea supporters are baffled why they’re now potentially about to sign him.
That’s not a slight on Christie’s ability at all, and he’d certainly be a good addition, but more a dig at the club’s haphazard recruitment strategy which has led them to this position.
