The January 2026 Transfer Window Thread - Now Closed!

No clue what we paid for either of them. But I am very confident we didn’t pay what is often said on here in order to be the basis to bash him. We wouldn’t have the PSR room to pay such a fee.

My point is, nobody else knows either.

Agreed, we likely didn't pay the amount initially to what is being reported as the transfer fee.
The initial payment and spread costs help us with PSR.

These fees are used by people to suit.

Which brings me back to the point why would any Swansea fan use an inflated fee to slate our own player and club?

All the figures are different, and our CEO says they are wrong.

We have no idea what Celtic felt worth their while as they were in the market for his replacement (Dolberg?) and it fell through after.

£4m + £2m on promotion may be what it took for them to accept in order to get their Dolberg deal done.

Yea and

I'm just forming an opinion based on whats out there, there's always interpretation involved in this sort of thing and nothing you're saying is discounting anything, the CEO has a vested interest,you can't put much weight into that.

And anyway, even at your completely made up scenario, we'd still have overpaid.

Who's slating the club?

 

[TruckerJack]

Who's slating the club?

You and others that say the club we’re stupid to pay so much for him yet openly admit the figures aren’t known to you.

Did you agree with the fee the club paid for Clucas?

 

[Smurph]

Give it rest lads

 

[TruckerJack]

I don’t know what they paid for him, neither do you.

 

[Cinio Dydd Sul]

I don’t know what they paid for him, neither do you.

We have a pretty good idea. It was 15mill plus, that's not disputed. Do you agree based on the whole picture that that figure would be fairly accurate?

 

[TruckerJack]

Yea and

My scenario is as made up as yours.

£4m is absolutely not an overpayment for Adam Idah.

How do we have a good idea? And what do you mean it’s not disputed? Has anyone put this figure to the club in order for them to dispute it? If they did dispute it, does that mean it’s inaccurate as you seem to not take any dispute into consideration.

And no, I don’t agree that any reported figure is accurate because they have absolutely no idea of the structure or when and how things are paid, if ever.

Its not, where have you seen £4million? Thats literally a figure you plucked out of the air.

Mine isn't.

“Believed to be”, and that’s already £1m less than what you said

If I believe in fairies does it mean it’s true?

Come on, you're lying now.

Based on your logic the club can never make a bad signing because you'll justify it to yourself by being willfully ignorant to what we likely paid.

Was Borja Baston a good signing? Or are you going to pretend we didn't spend 15mill plus on him?

Bony Ayew second times, presumably because the club hasn't published their wages you won't say they were bad signings?
