Probably Yaya.

No-one is trying to say Allen is better than Iniesta.

Just that his passing % is impressive.

15 million.

15m is too much for him but whatever. Be great to send Adam the other way, like I already said. We have too many CMs. I dont want to give up on henderson yet and I think Shelvey is good, too.

We still need two more forwards and/or wide players. It's okay to look outside the fucking premier league too.

£12million + Shelvey on loan should do the trick.

Could offer Adam, but he wouldn't go.

Apparently we offered 10 plus Shelvey on loan which they rejected, which would have been good for us both ways, with Shelvey getting PL games there.

Adam may go if it's made clear he's not good enough here.

Should be in any waiting list for Santi Cazorla.

You have no chance of getting him.

Why would Cazorla want to come to us Not to mention we can't afford him. He's £17m+

Im afraid we are in the shopping, for a different class of player.

It'll be one of those

"Swansea City A.F.C. have confirmed that they recieved an offer of 10 million pounds and the inclusion of Jonjo Shelvey on loan for the immediate transfer of midfielder Joe Allen. This offer has been rejected"

It might be something to do with that clause in Rodger's contract. Or has that been dealt with?

What clause? It was just a 'gentlemen's agreement'

Oh. I don't pay attention any more.

Swansea Statement on Joe Allen

Swansea City can confirm that Liverpool have expressed an interest in Joe Allen, despite a written agreement with Liverpool not to approach any players within the 12-month period of former manager Brendan Rodgers leaving for Anfield.

Just as I thought, a pointless statement. I think it's been pretty obvious for a while now that we've been after Joe Allen. So why release something that explains what the boundaries of a contract are to the public? What is the good in that?

Club release statement regarding speculation over midfielder Joe Allen


Statement regarding speculation on Swans midfielder Joe Allen

A Swansea City spokesman said: “Swansea City can confirm that Liverpool have expressed an interest in Joe Allen, despite a written agreement with Liverpool not to approach any players within the 12-month period of former manager Brendan Rodgers leaving for Anfield.

“There has also been interest from other clubs regarding his possible availability and the club is due to speak to Joe, as originally planned, about the situation when he returns from GB duty.

“The club is not prepared to release any details on whether any formal bids have been made at this stage or details of Joe’s contract, which are private and confidential. The club is extremely disappointed that speculation regarding certain aspects of his contract have been released to the media by parties outside the club.

“Fortunately the club is in a financial position where it does not need to sell any of its players and will continue to work in the best interests of its supporters, who are our priority, and the club to provide new manager Michael Laudrup with the best opportunity to be successful in the forthcoming Premier League campaign.”

Disgusting conduct.

These kind of things dont happen in the football world, shocking.

The whole specifically going after players he's worked with, is slightly nauseating. This can only get us so far, and will be profoundly irritating if it doesn't pay off.

I saw that we're looking at Doris De Vries because he previously worked with Rodgers

Ingenuity at display here. Rodgers +1.

Yeah it's ridiculous. We need to look outside Great Britain for crying out loud.

And 17m for Cazorla sounds better than 15m for Allen and 16m for Henderson.

But you probably haven't seen any of them play

Haven't seen Allen, have seen Henderson and Cazorla.

I haven't noticed Allen either, probably an overhyped player not worth more than 10 million.

You need to stop buying English players.

Why would he want to come to us when there's Arsenal and other teams sniffing down his neck? And why bring up Henderson? A player bought by our previous manager a year ago?

SBSP wrote:You need to stop buying English players.

They have.

The point still stands. There's much better deals to be had out there if you're seeing Cazorla quoted for around 17 mill and we go for Allen and Henderson at 15 and 16 mill.

It's time to look to the continent.

The game is coming on in 4 hours. Do you guys think Borini will play, or wait till after the Roma game.
