Missing out on Darren Pratley will prompt more anger from supporters directed towards Chairman Huw Jenkins' involvement in transfer dealings. Despite Brentford claiming that they had tracked him all summer, it is understood that the Bees only came in with an 11th hour offer after hearing Jenkins's comments to the media about the Fulham midfielder's transfer being a "done deal". It clearly wasn't.
Nevertheless, with just over 24 hours remaining until the transfer deadline, Swansea have missed out on yet another major target and could find themselves without any fresh recruits on Thurday morning.
