Sway becomes Pools’ sixth signing since January, following the arrivals of Nick Hayes, Gavan Holohan, Tyrese Sinclair, Calvin Okike and Charlie Caton

Whatever happened to Holohan?

Predominantly a central midfielder, Sway brings energy, technical quality and positional intelligence

Oh we could certainly be helped with positional intelligence! Can he pass and run should be the number 1 question.

Must be down to the bare bones bringing in someone else now . We need energy from midfield so as long as he is attacking and a good passer he should fit in

Holohan is injured.

Sway is an 18-year-old whose only appearances for Huddesfield have been in EFL Cup and EFL Trophy games. Not saying he won't be any good - he could be a real prospect like Calvin Okike, the 17-year-old left back we've got on loan from Hull.

Got to be a better option off the bench than the likes of Walker, but I doubt we'll see that much of him.

If he's as good as Snail woods comments then he should be starting games to get us these 6 wins required.

If….?
We sign these youngsters who have a flourish then tend to fade, but if he’s as good as it says on the label, well all well and good.

Okike is 18 years old FH, 19 in October, Sway is 18 but 19 in 5 weeks, comically the Yorkshire Post (Huddersfields local paper) thinks Sway is 20, basic maths seems to be a trait lacking in some reporters these days :roll:

Okike is 18 years old FH, 19 in October,

Serves me right for believing the OS :lol: :

BTW, what has him being 19 in October got to do with anything? The season ends in April (or May if we're very, very fortunate).

Well it's to repel the "why are we signing young kids?" brigade, that extra year tends to make a huge difference at that age.
