Dave Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Reporting the deal, Welsh newspapers claimed that Situ ended up at Liberty Stadium after Newcastle were unable to come to an agreement with Lens over the fee. Outbid for two players this summer by Swansea City. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are a fucking mystery in the transfer window, Swansea offer Neil Taylor better terms then we sign Santon, can't afford £250,000 for Situ but buy Cabaye. The wheeling/dealing at this club is so inconsistant, the only thing we can be sure of is not a lot will be spent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Id be curious to know why only a two year deal Yeah I thought that too. Not long for a 19 year old who probably shouldn't be a regular yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not long for a 19 year old who probably shouldn't be a regular yet. These yoyo 'premiership' clubs are always reluctant to give players long term contracts unless things don't turn the way they expected and they're stuck with the player whilst also getting relegated. More then likely they gave him a pretty high base salalry that they can't maintain in the championship should they go down. Blackpool operate in the same manner.

Can't see a youngster like him getting a high salary. He hasn't even played more than 2 or 3 games for Lens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not astronomical or anything but i bet they're giving him a much higher salary then what they actually think he's worth. They're taking a risk so will give him a 2 year contract should they go down. I bet there's a year or 2 year option in there too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Heneage Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Still though KD, what if he has a great season like Adam or Bassong. He comes into the final year of his deal. Risky for a player suppossedly so rated Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well... FUCK YOU!!!! FUCK YOU!!!! We never wanted [insert player name] anyway!" Agent: "Right." Derek: "Oh, and there's some cheap Lonsdale trainers available only at SportsDirect this week.

The Swans were yesterday informed their deadline-day deals to sign the two centre-backs had been ripped up after they failed to gain international clearance following a delay in the initial transfer paperwork. Christ, imagine if we'd done this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
