Summer Transfer Window

Its all too easy to blame his lack of impact on Grimes, but he played in a number of games after Grimes left and only one appearance was any performance to get excited about.
As I said, the last 18 months haven't been his best, but for what we payed...
 
Since when is what we paid a yardstick for if a player is good enough or not?
I would like to see the club move him on, but my expectation is that he will see out his final year instead
That first sentence makes no sense. He came cheap, that's the yardstick. For what we paid he's been decent. Kukharevych, Yates, let's go back as far as Fat Franck Tabnou (3.5 million mind) i could go on. Its called perspective.

The yardstick should be what he costs every week.

He’s on a big wage.

I wouldn't have given him another contract, but the powers that be thought he deserved one, he's probably on an average salary squad wise. But all this escape goat bolloxs. Grimes 21k a week, Yates would have been on god knows how much, Kukharevych a good whack too. Christ we were paying Jon McLaughlin 10k a week apparently for goodness sake 😂

I dont see how that doesn't make sense.

It doesn't matter if we pay him 20k a week or 20 quid a week, if he isn't good enough then he isn't good enough. What we paid for a transfer fee has been dwarfed many times over by his salary, for the past four years he has been stealing a living.

Opinions, I think he's been a decent servant overall, many we have signed in recent years haven't.
 
I know he’s on a big contract but it hasn’t helped, for the last god knows how long, everyone from the keeper to the striker has been under strict instructions to pass it to the bloke next to you.
I think he’ll come good and won’t let us down.
 
As much as I grit my teeth to type the following text, Fulton has been a good servant to the club and its not himself to blame if our previous owners warranted his hike in salary.
He's never possessed real pace, but what he can do is put his foot in at a tackle, give 100% and score the odd goal, is it his fault that we had previous owners who knew jackshit about the game who were prepared to inflate his salary that equated to the top ten teams in the Championship, while his ongoing partnership with Mattie Grimes was ideal for the calibre of head coaches we have had in previous seasons in slowing the game down.
If he doesn't leave this window then in January he will have been with the Swans for 12 years - not bad for a fee of around £250k.
 
Fulton has stolen a living since Cooper left. And before that he was no more than functional, fair to middling at best. How the bloody hell the club gave him a new contract last time out I'll never know. It just goes to show how shambolic the club has been run until very recently.
What confuses me the most is how so many fans ignore the fact Fulton slows the game down, fouls because he cannot control or keep up and loves a good back pass. Cooper was the reason he got another contract. He is the last player that is a reminder of what we should move on from. Sadly he will be with us this season. Knowone is gonna pay his wages.

I remember one of the final games of last season Fulton came on and gave away three fouls in less than thirty seconds giving the ref no alternative but to book him almost immediately after coming on.

Three fouls in less 30 seconds you say 😳
You sure your not confusing Fulton with Sonic the Hedgehog 😂
