Jacob Wright - £4m

[Neath_Jack]

Never know mate it might still come off but seems like it's not as close as Romano's tweet suggests

You need to start searching a players name after Vital mentions it. Guarantee you that you’ll find someone else has said it before him. He’s not the only one that does it mind.

A 4 million package deal could mean anything in terms of structure though.

That's true without a doubt. But I'd probably believe him more for example when he says this is off. Certainly compared to certain individuals.

But who knows.

Yes could be a 4 year deal 15k a week .
800 grand transfer fee for example

£4m almost certainly would mean including add ons.
Would be surprised if the up front fee is more than half of that

 

[Andrew - North Hill]

I would say most of you on here have already reached that point

Fair!

 

[ThurrockJack]

This would certainly be a statement of intent.

My only gripe would be that a midfield of this guy, Widell and Franco would be on the defensive side as none are out and out attacking mids from what I can tell, so our issue of creative chances may not be resolved.

That being said, if this is true, no one can say the "new" guys aren't putting their money where their mouth is.

Widell is definitely an attacking midfield player
He has 13 assists and 7 goals in 59 games and is called out on the Swans site too as a player who can play attacking midfield through the centre or on the wings

In other words the #10 we've been crying out for since, well, relegation.

 

[magicdaps10]

I don't know if I want this link to be true given his age and value but the reality is that Fabrizio Romano is saying it's on but vital Swansea are saying it's not!
Either way it just goes to show how totally fucking loopy this modern world of social media is.

If Williams is still here next season, he'll probably play him at RB

Would it though? If he was that good why would Man C be prepared to let him go? They’d normally loan players out until 21/22 to see if they can really kick on.

Providing the full value of a likely deal is odd too. It suggests they’re trying to placate fans by giving the maximum possible value.

For comparison, Grimes’ Coventry package would be around £11 million (based on a guess of 35k salary over 4 yrs plus fee).

It sounds a bit smoke and mirrors to me (much like the much publicist £20 million investment, which is sweet FA in this league).

 

[Bluenile]

Seems it's probably true.

Paterson and Celina were both capable #10's. I preferred Piroe in there behind Obafemi too.

Get your overall point though and agree with it. This side is sorely lacking in midfield creativity.

I guess City have form for letting quality go, Palmer, Sancho, Gittens, Delay. There's quite a long list.
