So accepting about 7m for thauvin who has contributed zero to us is that ridiculous and hard to grasp is it?

 

Especially when that would pay for the majority of the fee for knockaert, who if he is as good as he's made out to be would probably mean we go up.

 

If you bought a car for 12,000 pound and it didn't function as you wanted and though It would and it was proven to not be worth that much money you wouldn't expect someone else to pay the same price for it

In 2006, the 16th placed team earned £32m prize money. Next season the bottom club is going to earn around £90-100m. Sakho would have been maybe a £6m striker a decade ago so why can't you accept that £18m would be the going rate?

I'm just struggling to get used to these new fees and judging by how crazy they are that's pretty understandable

 

ON has outlined it fairly well there, prize money is roughly 3x what it was 10 years ago and fees have followed suit

 

£6m player 10 years ago now an £18m player as a rule of thumb, simples

Use this phrase to help you, when you see a fee, divide it by three.

Rumours that Everton have agreed £10 million fee for Ashley Williams.

 

Can see Swansea struggling this year, especially as West Ham are in for Ayew.

 

Wonder if he's the John Stones replacement?

10m is a very good deal for Everton: Arsenal should be all over this deal

Agreed. Makes you wonder what Wenger is playing at. Crying out for a solid centre half to go with koscielny and he misses a great chance. Guaranteed they won't make the signings they have needed for years now

A lot of Swansea fans getting worried now, at the start of the transfer window we were supposed to be after Bony, we sold Eder (never seemed to fit in when he played) and Polaschi (big suprise), then nothing happened.

 

Then it seemed we were waiting until after the Euro's (could have got Joe Allen prior for about 10 mill, its the one signing the fans were desperate for).

 

In the background the uncertainty of an American takeover that had been rumbling on for months.

 

Joe plays extremely well in the Euro's and one of the Swansea Welsh players is runoured to have said that he wold be off if we didn't sign Joe.

 

The American take-over finally happens and after that we fail to make a bid and Joe signs for Stoke and whoa and behold Williams looks to be off, we loan out our last remaining striker and pay a large chunk of his wages (about 22K a week I believe) and still no sign of any strikers being.

 

Ayew, who's not really a striker but is still our only regular goalscorer is now a target for West Ham, who raised their offer to what allegedly was the asking price!

 

The start of the season is looming and it appears from the friendlies that Routledge will be the main scorer.

 

Its not all bad as the friendly results appear to show we still have a team that can win, but these new American investors so far don't look live they intend to deliver investment on the team.

 

Worrying times.

Bad feeling for Swansea this year, can see them joining Hull and Burnley in the bottom 3 for most the season if they don't bring a few players in fast.

 

Not fancy Shelvey back? :lol:

What are Wenger and Arsenal doing this transfer window? :lol:

 

Last week they're bidding £35mil for Lacazette and wonder why it gets rejected when West Ham had a £40mil bid rejected earlier in the summer.Now they're apparently going after Jonny Evans. Even with Mertesacker injured surely they can do way better than that. Fans must be so frustrated

Yeah, Swansea only just pulled away last season before the relegation battle really got going. I can't see anyone in their team who has the character in them to drag them out of it if they end up in one next year. Them, WBA, and Southampton will be the teams who I think will have poor season next season and I wouldn't be surprised to see them all in a relegation battle.
