Lets not forget that Rushworth made all the same noises and he never set foot in Swansea again.

Thanks for the well informed article, in short I think Forest will want some cash and we will be out bid. We are in an interesting place in that we have a reducing budget and the need to develop a competitive squad.

Good write up. There are a lot of variables in there:
- will his family be up for it ?
- can we match what Forest would accept if there is no-one else to outbid us ?
- of the relegated sides I could only see Ipswich going in for him
- of the teams likely getting promotion, he would be good enough for all of them imo

It’s complicated but where there’s a will there’s a way, unless of course he gets offered more money elsewhere

Interesting article….and I’d love him to stay as he’s been excellent for us. However he was a short term expensive fix who’s put himself in the shop window and I’ve no doubt teams with more financial clout than us will snap him up.

Thanks folks, Liam especially puts a lot of research in. He couldn’t make the game on Friday his appendix burst on Weds morning. Back home now and recuperating. Don’t worry I’ve tasked his with work 😉 It all went a bit wrong in Tesco’s for him in Coventry. Collapsed and can’t remember anything until he was wheeled into hospital. Straight under the knife, cleared various abscesses. In until Friday afternoon.

There is a silver lining though, Tesco put ten quid in points on his club card 😂

Jason who did our report on Friday is at his teams game tomorrow (I won’t say who, but he lives in Penarth atm) a lifelong mate who I used to refer to as ‘my mate the Cardiff fan’ years ago on Twitter. Fair play to him for stepping up. Big clue there ! So it’s another supporter of the site who will step in. Fingers very crossed 🤞

So it wasn’t the price of the local plonk then.
Best wishes to the lad and get well soon.

Speedy recovery Liam

Those comments from O'Brien seem past tense. I may be reading too much into it but I don't get the vibe that he'd love to stay here next season.

I’d love o’Brien to stay but if he’s financially out of reach it would be irresponsible to push the boat out too far, especially considering we’ve just spent a few million on that Melkor Morgoth kid.

Use the Piroe promotion money. 2.Million additional funds we wouldn't necessarily have budgeted for as not guaranteed.

Let's say we'd have been able to afford 20k a week anyway and he wants somewhere in the region of what he's on now (40k) that's an additional 1.04m a year so we'd have enough in the coffers for the next two years. 4 year contract, let's be honest, if we're not promoted in the next two years he's likely to attract bigger clubs including those in the premiership so we'd likely sell him on for a fairly decent profit after 2 years anyway.

We'd need to agree a deal with NF. Given he's on his last year and they want him off the books we could get a cut price deal, especially if we add incentives on such as promotion bonuses or sell on %.

The only real drawback would be upsetting other senior members of the squad who would no doubt also want higher salaries so not cut and dry.

He been amazing for us but finances dictate things we going to have to find another diamond in the rough. Neil Taylor had a terrible injury we found Ben Davies. Grimes left fans thought it was the end of the world and o brien turned up. There is a solution to every problem bar taxes death.

That’s the only thing they can do.
Purchase low.
incremental salary.
Load it with bonuses, like appearances, league placing, goals scored, other personal achievements, win bonus, playoffs, promotion and automatics. There could be fifty other add ons.

Hence the term ‘a fee rising to’ for the actual transfer, then add ons for the selling club, see above.

The Swans spread their payments over the length of a players contract as they do with all associated fees. It aids P&S over the coming three years. This is Richard Montague’s role, getting deals over the line, not so much identification of players, we are already aware of positions like global recruitment and Brett Cravatt finds this division of skills extremely positive. Montague is the person who receives and executes deals. This is why the Swans will have a lot of work done way in advance.

On this occasion when the club say they have identified players, they will actually mean it.

Should have gone to Aldi.
