I cant see us going for Swift
1. hes a 10
2. if we want a 10, Illias Chair for 6m is a better deal

Chair is a bit like Palmer. Looks great for an hour.

Would take Willock over Chair.

Let the battle of ITK’s commence one saying one thing, the other saying different.

I’m not normally ITK …. It’s pure coincidence on this one that I happen to be.

the link is very real.

Swift would be happy to join us.

He’s on more than Hamer allegedly wanted. Cov won’t break their structure for him. Hence why Wedt Brom paying him off is the only way this deal gets done.

So Barnsley want £5m, we offer £4m. Surely there is middle ground for a deal to be done.

If Stiles has a £2m get out clause, what about £7m for both? Is that good enough value?

 

[Briles]

No incentive for WBA to do that. Weakens them, strengthens a rival and it costs them money too? Nah.

They're skint

 

[Deity]

They're skint

The club is for sale and players are being sold to pay the bills. Someone will go today. Sound familiar ?

So that's literally no middle ground that's the equivalent of us actually paying 5 million for Kitching and 2 for Styles

Today feels a bit like waiting for your exam results. Wonder what grade King and co will be getting at 11pm.

 

[pusbccfc]

Robins has spent the most this season than any manager in the club's history.

 

[rexo87]

Not a massive fan of Swift. Looked lazy every time I've seen him and stats are inflated by penalties

So judging by how ITK you seem about this… what is the likelihood of it actually going through?

where is the middle ground here? this is just giving them the £5 mill they asked for and matching a release clause?

I'm glad I am not the only one to think that.

No, we started at 2.5m or something like that. You're suggesting endlessly splitting the difference until we basically give them what they want. £4m is already going beyond the middle ground.

He dominated the game against us for Reading during COVID. 3-0.

 

[Saddlebrains]

Under strengths he's just put football.

I mean. Thats his job isnt it?

Yeah remember him scoring an absolute screamer as well. Think he has good games but can go very quiet. Seems to be what the WBA fans think as well. Had his best game for a long time on Saturday

To some extent

John Swift is Ex Chelsea if I recall, got to be certain now…

 

[Si80]

Looking at a few young fringe Prem players that have moved to sides I'd say are worse than us I'm disappointed we didn't go after Dane Scarlett who has gone to Ipswich. He's a really good prospect with a great ceiling.

And really hoped we'd have gone back in for Norton-Cuffy. I know we've got MVE but he'd have been a great squad depth addition for us.

Started at Pompey and spent time out of the academy system with boys clubs but did also play in Chelsea's youth ranks you're right

Less than 50%

 

[Nick]

Has he artexed it?

 

[skybluecam]

0 is less than 50

At this point I recon the club should just hire me to be the west country scout. I'll take 10k a week plus a company car

 

[shmmeee]

Excellent hedging.

Prem clubs won’t want loan players sitting on the bench though

 

[junglej13]

My understanding is that a fee has been agreed but the deal unlikely unless West Brom help bridge the wage gap via a one off payment to Swift.

Seems such a strange deal to think could get done if so. Suppose it depends how desperate they are.

They got any central defenders instead?

We could’ve only persuaded both to have come if we could offer consistent game time. BNC wouldn’t start every game like he did last year because of Milan, and we wouldn’t have a loanee striker ahead of our expensive forwards. We probably did go in for BNC but no doubt he wanted a guarantee he would be first choice - he will be at Milwall.

 

[rexo87]

Allan Campbell signed for Millwall on loan, good player. Almost feels as if we've gone a bit too ambitious towards the end of this window. Think we are going to run out of time for anyone tbh

 

[Deity]

Excellent hedging.

Im not directly involved. My last update was 8am this morning.

I didn’t share until @Briles did.

it was left with me that the deal is off unless West Brom cave in, which they may given their financial situation.

I don’t know more than that ….

Not sure why people are so sceptical. I have nothing to gain in sharing this but j thought other fans might be interested.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

‘Doing a Mowbray’ perhaps?

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

If Swift is the only one we’re in for then it doesn’t seem especially likely that we’re going to get a midfielder in today.
