We know the Swans have rejected two bids from QPR for Jamie Paterson and a report this morning from Football Insider suggests that promotion rivals Bournemouth and Blackburn are both poised to enter the chase for his signature this deadline day.<\/p>\n

Paterson has not featured for the Swans first team since the defeat to Nottingham Forest back in December after his head was turned around potential moves away from the club leaving him not in the right frame of mind to play.<\/p>\n

Russell\u00a0 Martin has spoken out at his frustration at the situation \u201cIf he leaves, we have to replace him. He\u2019s been a big loss for us with the creativity he brings. This situation is only hurting him and us. The people who are really driving it, it\u2019s not hurting them. It\u2019ll be resolved in three days and I can\u2019t wait for the window to shut,” he said at the weekend.<\/p>\n

Any move for Paterson today the Swans will want completed early so they have chance to move on their own targets which we assume that would have lined up in the eventuality that the player moves.<\/p>\n

A recruitment source told Football Insider<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>that Paterson is keen on a move away from Swansea before Monday\u2019s transfer deadline after a disagreement over his contract situation.<\/p>\n

Paterson is under contract until June 2023 after an automatic one-year extension was triggered earlier this month.<\/p>\n

The Swans certainly need to get this situation resolved as soon as possible today if Paterson is to move on and, if that move doesn’t happen, then Martin needs to move quickly to get Paterson back into the first team picture – we don’t have enough strength in depth within the squad to be able to ignore players, let alone players who have played such a big part this season.<\/p>\n

And if he does stay then it would probably be a good idea to ask himself to get a new set of advisers as well who see footballing benefits for the player and not just their own pay packets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
