Naughton handed in transfer request?

Rumours going around that Naughton handed in a transfer request an hour after the game today. God knows how this one got out.
 
Maybe going before he’s pushed. Cost us many goals this season with his backing off when marking and not stopping crosses. I can’t see a PL club coming in for him, so I don’t know what he’s hoping to achieve.
The exodus has started as the mercenaries who got us into this mess scurry to leave the sinking ship.
Ki has announced on instagram that he’s leaving. A great player with the right players around him, but well exposed this season in our weak midfield, and being played out of position as a holding midfielder instead of an attacking midfielder, his best position.
A huge few months for the Swans as we dust ourselves down, regroup, and go again. An overhaul needed pronto if were going to challenge for promotion.
First task the manager to go or stay, then to sort out what players were letting go and an early recruitment drive of new ones capable of mounting a promotion challenge.
 
Not sure on this one. Naughton would do well to get a move back to the Premier League, he might do alright in the Championship, he looked far better playing as a third centre back. Agree on Ki, a good attacking midfielder and wasted playing deep.
 
Hope the rumours are true. Not good enough. Capable on his day but often is that? Looked a bit better under Carvahal but he makes too many mistakes, so bad that teams target our right side and positionally he's awful.
 
Thinking abut it Naughton was lucky to hold on to that position for so long. We even had a last minute replacement for him lined up last summer, right back/winger Andy Yiadom for 3 mill from Barnsley, but the paperwork arrived too late at the close of the transfer window. Anyway, he was out of contract this month and has gone on a free from relegated Barnsley, signing a 4 year contract with Clement at Reading, so presumably he was Clement’s target signing all along.
Too slow on the uptake again
