One of Swansea City’s summer transfer signings has today rejected a move to FC Schalke with the Swans looking to move the player on after he failed to secure any regular football in SA1.

It is a pretty damming statement on one of our summer signings who was said to be attracting interest from home and abroad on this deadline day as the Swans looked to move him on.

But reports from Schalke this evening say that although they wanted to bring in Pedersen he rejected the deal.

Whether Pedersen still has options available from the other clubs interested remains to be seen.

5th highest paid at the club, I would be amazed if he would want to move on. He wouldn't get that type of deal anywhere else. Doubt he ever has in his career previous either.

I see those running the club really paid attention to the lesson Ryan Bennett should have taught them then...

If this is true then this Watson bloke is fast turning into the biggest liability behind the scenes by a country mile.

And the people who made those decisions are still heavily involved in our transfer activity. Oh wait, by heavily involved, I mean leading it.

It's madness, sheer madness.

Absolute madness, the way our transfer dealings have panned out over the last couple of seasons there will come a time soon when it will catch up with us. Consecutive and consistent bad transfer windows will only end up in one outcome, relegation.

The problem we have is for several years now we have relied on the big departures to keep us largely afloat (as well as the constant funds to keep the cashflow alive)

When you now look at the squad we have nobody really that would attract any fee to do that. So we shop around in the bargain basements and occasionally spunk big money (by our standards) on players that do not work out

The sheer fact that we have moved on players who we sign but never actually use stinks of total incompetence and should not be overlooked no matter what we do today.

As I have just said on Twitter we are regressing at an alarming rate and as you said eventually that will lead to only one outcome

Think this window has highlighted even more how disastrous the summer window was.

This window just feels like a short term patch up.

Someone needs to be held accountable for this sheer incompotence.

It's not good enough at all.

Didn't we turn down big money for Wood in the summer? And if you haven't as a club got a lot of money to spend in a transfer window then you certainly have to make sure that you spend it wisely. I know you can't win them all when purchasing players, but does anyone think we have spent our transfer kitty wisely in recent seasons?

Relegation might be the least of our worries if we carry on like this.

Pederson....Christ, a journeyman stop gap at best. Everyone knows it...except our geniuses.
