We play slightly differently to Swansea, and I think it’s obvious that a physical type is more advantageous to us Im not saying im not dissapointed about losing out on Piroe IF Che leaves, Im just not losing any sleep until those particular dominos fall into place

This narrative comes around every window and is the same on most message boards, so far we seem to have secured all of our top targets in Charles, Manning, Downes.. looks like Wood too Potentially we’ll have lost out on Piroe, but its one I can’t work out really, surely if we really wanted him we’d of softened our resolve on Adams as we were probably in the box seat Ultimately most transfers, or significant transfers happen early or late, mid window tends to be a lot of noise, so Id rather keep my underwear dry until I know and can assess the facts

Im 50/50 on it, Ive said all along Im not convinced Piroe is an upgrade on Che and Im glad someone posted up about RMs comments saying he was similar to AA as thats how I saw it That said, Id be dissapointed if we lost Adams and didn’t replace properly Overall though Im relatively comfortable, we’ve replaced well, for this level, so far in Downes, Manning and Charles and realistically Fraser and Holgate are very good options, again for this level We’ll of course have to get the Adams replacement correct IF he goes Tella.. Ive been the same all along, if we get 20m+ for him Id be interested in selling as I think he is replaceable personally

Ive noticed he makes a habit of that

Oh yeah I wish we were Leeds 😂

I went through that absolute myth earlier in the thread, there’s never been a relegated team, to my knowledge that wasn’t decimated with transfers and to this moment nobody has rebuffed that Im not sure where the narrative of ‘we’re the only team to firesale’ actually comes from Frankly this whole thread is pathetic, some of these posts are spectacular.. Im not sure if I should be more embarrassed by them trolling on a messageboard OR the possibility that they’re being serious

I don’t disagree but we’ll almost certainly play both Adams and Armstrong, if available, for the majority of the season.. so we either buy to replace or they’ll have to be happy on the bench.. so not really sure what options that leaves Mara I agree, he hasn’t impressed me

We have Adams, Mara and Armstrong and probably Ballard

Yeah it doesn’t make a ton of sense to me really He’ll probably be a good player tbh, but still

Im no doubt he’ll be a good option at this level but we have; Tella, Sully, Edozie, SAA, Djenepo, Aribo, Doyle, Adam Armstrong - All able to play on the wing

He’s a good player with good experience but it doesn’t make much sense to me unless someone is off (Money is on Sully). We have something like 8 capable wide players ? Whats the point ?

ABK Im assuming is gone but surely Lyanco knows his time is up, we’ve clearly tried to shift him and even took his number off him

We don’t know that ? I suspect it will be Sulemana leaving tbh, as I genuinely don’t believe he wants to be here Historically plenty of Championship promoters loaned players in, because you get players of the correct quality without the long term commitment If we bought players like Fraser etc, and comitted to long contracts there will be plenty of people moaning about our lack of flexibility to buy prem quality because of Championship ’deadwood’

It certainly could do yeah, again I said that yesterday, for whatever reason we seem happy to not persue it

Probably that we don’t really need him Ive not at all said its a bad deal, its a good deal, you’re just throwing out insults again as the conversation isn’t going your way, all I said was it appears Leeds expedited it for one reason or another Just stop interacting with me tbh mate, your posts don’t really add anything with any substance anyway

I suspect plenty of clubs have been in contact, but the story of their bid still broke late Wed eve and they got it done last night

Well the fact that they concluded it in about 2/3 days makes it a rushed deal mate, generally transfer negotiations take ages

The rumour around the staplewood start of the window was that we’ve been in contact and were keen on Piroe as a target, not entirely sure if anything changed Looks like Leeds rushed through a deal ? Maybe to stop us before we could get in a position to do so ? Who knows 🤷‍♀️

Probably Hove, I suspect we’d of heard something by now if it was Wood

I imagine its probably around wages, I expect there will be a compromise… no shot he’ll just want to sit here for 3 years

Not even that bothered about Paintsil Wonder if Genk still want to take Onuachu

What point am I missing ? There’s been literally zero 17m fee’s so far

There’s been zero The top two fee’s are; Piroe - 16m Charles - 12m But crack on Nostradamus

Piroe Not really sure where I stand on it tbh, dissapointed to see him go to a rival considering he looks, on paper, as a solid option at this level… be interesting to see what he does at Leeds, he’s been dissapointing so far in Swanseas new look tactics, but I do expect him to be a success Ultimately we’ll see if this is an SR miss step in a couple of months; - Do we keep Che ? - Do we sell and fail to replace ? - Does Piroe flop ? Of course the transfer comittee doesn’t get the benefit of hindsight, but I suspect if they really thought Piroe was the make or break player than we’d of made a move My ‘gut’ feel is we’ll either keep Che or sign a player more able to play a hold up/disrupter type of game Overall it does worry me, but I have faith

Ill ask the question again then.. wasn’t necessarily to you but it’s still relevant Do you expect us to spend 140m in the Championship?
