Tan Backing club yet again

Re: Tan Backing club yet again

I maybe wrong but from memory pretty much all transfers in recent times have been undisclosed. Always guesses in the media but I’ve rarely notice the club confirm a fee.

You're not wrong, lots are undisclosed https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/transfers

Re: Tan Backing club yet again

That is exactly what has been publicised by WOL and others, which Steve Morison stated was wide of the mark and ‘don't believe what you read in the media’.

What do you believe it was less Dave?

Re: Tan Backing club yet again

And you don’t think that Swansea are in any danger of relegation ? I suggest you look at the table and recent form. They are sleep walking their way towards the bottom three.

We can only hope….let’s hope we absolutely do them here in a few weeks, like they’ve done to us at their place on countless occasions over the last 10 yrs…4.0 would be nice

Re: Tan Backing club yet again

Surely it's more of a case that Swansea aren't going anywhere this season so there's no point spending any money unless it is for the right player and there's a longer term view. Ours was out of necessity with relegation being a very real threat. I suspect the Moore transfer money has paid for the loan deals in any case, so it's maybe not that much about being backed by Tan.

Swansea have spent plenty of money including this window.

In the summer.

Theyve bought 3 strikers not loaned. Plus Downes. Ntcham would im sure have commanded a decent signing on fee as well as Paterson and Walsh. Plus loans from Man U and Liverpool.

This window theyve purchased not loaned a keeper and left back plus loaned a young player from Germany and Christie who have both gone straight into their 1st team and a young player from Man City.

Their completely deluded and self entitled fan base think they should be splashing more cash and want their club back again now they are losing.

they are in a similar boat to us in that they've also run out of parachute payments this season. They sold a few players and got rid of some higher earners in the window as well, so it is probably within their means.

They also still have some saleable assets as well in Cabango, Grimes and now Piroe - all tied down to long contracts as well.
So will be able to sell those for a good price if needed.

I'm pretty confident the fee was £3.5m rising to £5m with add ons. Both figures were quoted extensively, and didn't both come from the same source.

Steve Morison says the quoted fee(s) was 'made up' but it feels more likely to me that Bournemouth leaked £3.5m to Sky and Cardiff came in quickly (via BBC Wales and Wales Online) with the higher number. The usual buy low, sell high two-step.

:hehe:

And yet you were quoting WOL yesterday, implying that the 'small cut' that was due to Wigan meant was probably less than 10%.

"Dont believe everything you read in the media" - unless of course it suits your narrative.

He still thinks Sheffield united paid a huge loan fee for Madine but has never been able to prove it.

He’s so biased he would defend the club is they set up their own concentration camp.

Im not sure those 3 will attract significant bids. Particularly Cabango.

Re: Tan Backing club yet again

Except Zohore, I wouldn't blame them if we posted 'the anniversary of selling Zohore for £8 million' on social media every year.

We nearly sold him for double that to Brighton if I recall

The problem is at the time he looked a better player than £15 million. I've never seen such a purple patch of any player

Not too familiar with how he's been doing lately, but he's a 21 year old centre back with already 70 odd championship games under his belt and he's like 6'2 and can pass the ball well.
Those kind of players are usually in demand

To me he looks slow and not great on the ball. Not a guaranteed starter for a poor Championship side and couldn't get in a weak Welsh central defence.

Looks well short of being a PL player to me.

How tall is he though?

Perhaps he is correct in respect of Madine



Cardiff are paying him his wages, and we're paying Cardiff a loan fee. So it's nothing to do with the wages our players are on or our own wage structure.

It seems pretty reasonable to me to believe that we're paying Cardiff £3000k to loan Madine for the season, which roughly matches s4's £12k a week figure, with an agreement to pay another £500k if we get promoted - which would mean we had effectively covered his wages for the second half of the season.
