Transfer Rumour Jake Bidwell - Confirmed (5 Viewers)

[fernandopartridge]

Has anyone watched him play? Is he suited to wing back? Sounds like a more traditional full back to me

He played left wing back against us twice last season and this season

On topic tho, how can people be so sure this Bidwell acquisition is a good deal? I admire the self-confidence. We know we need a left back / left wing back, that is agreed. But that is it.

How good is he, well who knows? The chart up thread doesn't look promising. He is in effect a 'Swansea reject'. I suggest reserving our judgement is the best policy - not easy for football fans I realise.

However he does fit the profile of the successful acquisition strategy for L2 and L1, but which we abandoned for the first season in the Championship - good (hopefully) out of contract players - see Kelly, MacF (small fee?) and recently Kane.

He isn't a Swansea reject, he was a mainstay of their team which twice got to the play offs.

It appears to me as a very similar signing to Kane, very experienced at this level. I wasn’t very excited about the Kane signing, I got that very wrong.

So I’m not going to get excited about this signing either and hope it has the same effect. Think this is going to be a very good piece of business by the club though

We actually have a LWB on our books who isn’t on loan, that will do for me

Do we now expect Maatsens return to Chelsea for treatment to be extended to the summer?

Still need cover

 

[Blind-Faith]

Two very good players battling for one position, can only be a good thing. Also means we won’t have to rely on players if they are out of form or injured or suspended.

It’s great to be able to have some squad depth

 

[clint van damme]

Oh piss off

we beat them to achieving something at St.Andrews as well!

 

[oldfiver]

Well of course I’ll open my mind but I can only quote The actual evidence that is presented to companies house. It’s not even the worst of anything it’s a fact based on info? What facts do you have to say I’m wrong?

Can you point to where in the accounts you are looking?

 

[Grendel]

So if Bidwell signs, will you admit they have supported Robins?

Well as they are about to sell at least one player tomorrow as well no.

 

[Grendel]

Can you point to where in the accounts you are looking?

Well oddly the last available set which shows considerable high interest loans.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Well as they are about to sell at least one player tomorrow as well no.

Who do you see that being?

You made out Shippers didn't count in your assertions yesterday. Adjusting your position to suit - cheeky!

Well of course he counts as it’s one of the payroll and one on

Frostie said:
Yes. Pask, Jobello, Hilßner & possibly Shipley.

Grendel: Two are out of contract one going nowhere the other paid off

 

[no_loyalty]

They are?

One of the ITK’s mentioned that somebody is buying Shipley, and the fee is currently being negotiated.

Well no as the one out of contract I meant in the summer is now being sold for a fee - we will save wages on the loans as well so effectively we are getting 3 off the interim payroll and signing one

Wow the hedge fund really busting a guy for a promotion bid

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Stop fucking hijacking every thread with this bollocks

 

[oldfiver]

Well oddly the last available set which shows considerable high interest loans.

The last accounts show interest paid of £125k ?

 

[procdoc]

Bidwell could turn out to be a very astute signing for us. 28, loads of experience playing for decent teams in this league and no transfer fee involved. If it doesn’t work out we can potentially get a fee for him. Win-win

You are assuming the replacement(s) will cost less than the leaver(s)

 

[Grendel]

Deferred interst? What’s the total amount paid in and out by the club net in tbe last 3 years and what are the loans currently standing at - and what is the interst rates from the separate funds?

 

[Grendel]

Net transfer Last three years is what from the accounts?

 

[steve cooper]

Bidwell looks a bit fat to me.

You effectively said the last accounts show the investors took out Wonga amounts of interest - which they didnt

It's amazing how you complain about stuff like this when it's the epitome of right-wing capitalist thinking and the cornerstone of what the Tories and their donors stand for.

Highly efficient investment getting the most from the funds provided and reaping a high return in the loan interest.

You should be lauding them for their astute investment acumen.

Joking aside, he is a solid build. Hopefully he's kept himself fit. Really happy with this acquisition.

This is OSB territory - analytical reviews

If they actually reaped the reward . The accounts show the amounts accrued - accruing and getting it are 2 different things

 

[David O'Day]

He's played a fair few times for Swansea this season

 

[steve cooper]

Joking aside, he is a solid build. Hopefully he's kept himself fit. Really happy with this acquisition.

He should be a really good signing, that means this season we will have made 5 really good signings, in Moore, Kane, Sheaf, Gyo, and now hopefully Bidwell. That's progress however you look at it.

 

[Grendel]

You effectively said the last accounts show the investors took out Wonga amounts of interest - which they didnt

No I said they charge Wonga levels of interest on their loans which then are accounted for

Well most people on here are so guess that’s why you lose every election

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Both are true

 

[Winny the Bish]

A hard bastard that can run all game and has a decent cross on him?

Sounds perfect for what we need.
