Summer Transfer Window

[Andrew - North Hill]

Franco, Yalcuoue, Galbraith and now Stamenic. Surely Fulton is going to leave now, he's 5th choice. He ain't getting any football here this season.

People will have differing views on him as a player, but when he goes it's going to be very symbolic for the club as it will represent the final act in the total repudiation of MartinWillyball.

This is a team transformed now - for the better.

 

[Ringwood]

We will keep Fulton for closing games down and backfill injuries and suspensions. I do think Cooper, Congreve and Cotterill will be loaned out

 

[swannage]

Been reliably told the fee is 2.2m for Stamenic

I've been critical of this potential signing due to the rumoured £4m+ fee. It it is around £2m then this could be an excellent bit of business. Well done lads

 

[IsraJack]

I wonder if he was brought in as a cover for Fulton in case of an injury

Fulton up front, innit?

I think you must be confusing "closing games down" with "closing our midfield down" . . . . . . . .

Nah, Sheehan wants to switch formation to 3-5-2 he will be between Ben & Burgess in the back 3 playing wall passes with Vigoroux

WHERE IS THE STRIKER CYRIL??? WHERE IS HE??? I WANT SOME GOALS THIS SEASON!

(I'm still half-in on Vipotnik)

 

[Swansea93]

Got it on good authority the club are waiting to offload Vipotnik so the new striker can have the number 9 shirt.

I hope not, we may be waiting a while for takers.

Something doesn't add up for me. Although I'm not too familiar with the rules of fair play, many players (probably not cheap) have arrived in and few have left. Considering the club's losses in recent years, I have a feeling that in order to balance the books, a more significant player will have to be sold. Franco?

Gorringe claimed at the forum last week that the club have saved a couple of mil in operations costs; no idea how.

Selling Yates, and offloading the salaries of Pedersen, Darling, and Grimes will also give us a couple of mil extra.

Agree we have spent a good wedge, but we also got 4.5m for Grimes in January that was not really invested until now. That can offset against 1/2 of the signings made alone. Spreading deals over a long period will also help, as well as ultimately selling a star man or two down the line.

The only issue is if the majority of players bought end up being poor at this level, then it means no takers and a significant drop in transfer activity in windows to come as we continue to pay off fees without offloading anyone. Fingers crossed eh

 

[Copamundial]

Unbelievable isn’t it, sign some players and suddenly conspiracy theories abound…only at the Swans.

 

[Flash]

I imaging not paying the wages of Grimes, Naughton, Darling, Pederson and Allen also helps.
