Summer Transfer Window

[Professor]

Some nonsense from a Derby site on FB that Yates is off to Pompey for. £3.4 million. Where are my car keys?

We need some physicality up top especially as we lack pace.

A big forward might be visible for Ronald's crossing

If he's standing on the moon.

But not if he's standing on the dark side...

Wrexham enquiring on Ben Davies possible transfer..hope there's nothing in that..

See that less likely than darling going there, if we were both after him. Not just the academy ties but ties with the owners too

Not TOO outlandish a fee for a 28 year old striker who:

* had 10 goals and 4 assists for a pretty dire Derby team last season
* had 9 goals and 1 assist for us with two managers who had no clue how to use him in the 23/24 season
* had 15 goals and 6 assists for a Blackpool side that got relegated in the 22/23 season
* had 8 goals and 3 assists in the 21/22 season
* had a very impressive 23 goals and 9 assists (admittedly in League 1) in the 20/21 season

There will be plenty of sides who fancy they could get a 20 goal season tune out of him

Has Yates just got one year left with us?

Yes, couldn't find any mention of an extension option otherwise could probably demand 5-6m for him
A decent but not spectacular striker who with the correct players around him is almost guaranteed to net you double figures for the season

Could we get £2M for him?

A poster above reckons Portsmouth have put in a bid of 3.4m for him
With his track record over the past five years thats not a bad price for them or us for a 28 year old striker approaching the final year of his contract

Could we get £2M for him?

That's the most welcome can realistically hope for, given he's only got one year left on his contract and we clearly want him to leave. Anything on top of a million will be a good result.

Yates signed a three year contract with the Swans plus a one year option.

JERRY YATES | I HOPE I CAN ADAPT QUICKLY AND HELP THE TEAM​

Official site, 12/7/2023

Jerry Yates hopes he can hit the ground running at Swansea City after completing his transfer from Blackpool.

The 26-year-old striker has joined for an undisclosed fee, subject to international clearance, and signed a three-year contract with an option for an additional 12 months.

 

[bakajack]

Ok so we do actually have a better negotiating position than I thought
