This is edging closer apparently. If he goes he goes but...... what I cannot understand is how do we end up selling a quality and proven experienced player for that figure and in the same breath I find out that West Ham want £18 million for Reece Oxford, a kid who has played very little top quality football. Bit like Spurs wanting £8 million for Alex Pritchard. Views? |  | | |  |

Absolute rubbish unless we are signing three players on the weekend. |  |
| Even when you know, you never know? |

Agree with the OP - if true. Someone needs to come out and explain why we sell off proven PL players at bargain prices. There has to be a reason? |  |

If this is true then whoever has agreed to the sale should be billed for the missing £24 million we should have received. | | | |

I wouldn't be as concerned with losing him (as I think now either him or Sig will be sold because they have itchy feet and high reputations) if we frigging well got someone in that could score goals. If we do sell him for even 16m, never mind more, it makes missing out on Joe Allen - given that we obviously wanted him from Curt's words - ridiculous.
If we're not careful we'll force ourselves into a desperation signing, and that's how you end up with an Adebayor.
I think I'm glad I'm away for the next two weeks after tomorrow. Taking no phone or internet access either, so I'll miss all the drama - if there is any - and be interested to see what team we actually did put out at Burnley when I get back. [Post edited 29 Jul 2016 9:18]

The Swans are living in a parallel universe. One in which Joe Allen is worth no more than £8M and an asset like Ayew can be sold for £16M.
It's a recipe for lots of sales and very few purchases. The bank balance will look OK though which is really important. |  |

Even if he wants out other clubs should pay the going rate.

How do we know he hasn't got a release clause, let's be honest he would always have thought of us as a stepping stone |  |

Stepping stone to what though? West Ham are a bigger club historically, but since we've been in the PL they've only finished above us once and that was last season. I suppose they've got a chance of squeezing into the Europa League this season, but they're hardly the force they are and somewhere Ayew could get regular European football. A strange choice of club to go to imo. |  | | |

They're moving to a new stadium init. He's been sold the dream. |  |

Can't remember a close season with so many discouraging rumours - even the supposedly positive stories are underwhelming. We got lucky last season, but don't seem to have learned the lesson. | | | |

Ayew should not be sold until reinforcements have been brought in. | |

I would just like to point out again that we haven't kicked a ball in anger yet.
This window hasn't gone well yet for sure, but I would still bet heavily, were I a betting man, that we will be mid table yet again come next May..
Concern I get, panicky doom and gloom I don't. If we do sell him to Ham before replacing, that's the time to start shouting the odds. Yesterday the club was shit for buying Peter Crouch, which is possible I suppose but highly unlikely indeed. As to the price for Ayew; well, it's not our money is it? Americans are not known for giving stuff away cheaply, so if this was right there would be a reason, as it's such a blatant undervaluation given his hype and his goal tally.
Maybe we should all just spare a thought for the future beyond the next five weeks. It's all gone very quiet on the S/H discussions with the trust. Now that is important. [Post edited 29 Jul 2016 10:52]

So if the paper reports are to be believed, we are selling one of the few players in the squad who has shown the capability of scoring goals in the prem, for way below what other players are going for and then immediately reinvesting the money in Tello, who hasn't ever played in the prem, and whose goals record isn't great anyway. Also, given the other clubs linked with Tello it seems entirely possible that we wouldn't get him anyway.
Ayew has 3 years left on his contract and so even if he wants out, unless there are some clauses in his contract to the contrary, should totally be on our terms, and £25m minimum.
Yes, there are questions over how he fits into the team but that should be up to FG to find an answer for rather than selling a good quality player on the cheap.
I really hope this is not right. | | | |

It's as if our board haven't realised prices are greatly inflated this season because of the new TV money.
This is why they thought that £13 million was too expensive and £16 million is about right for Ayew.
In fact, Stoke have probably got a pretty good deal for Allen and Ayew is worth around £25 million in today's market. |  |

£16 million, we need shooting.
Ayew is, in my opinion obviously, a guaranteed 15 goals next season. Jordan Ibe went for £1 million less, we are getting shafted if the deal is done.
I don't necessarily blame him for wanting out if I am honest, but we need to stick to our guns on this one. |  | | |

Definatlly under sold at that price.
Always a difficult one if the clock is ticking and the player wants out.
If its true need to find a quality replacement asap time to splash some cash there ll be plenty of it rolling in this season. |  |

I don't buy into this "the player wants out" bullshit, so we should sell him quickly not to disturb the team.
The player is in a contract with Swansea City for 3 years!! We should only sell at a fee beneficial to us, or not at all. If then the player does not play to his best ability because he does not want to be here, then he will be forgotten by the time his contract is up and not get a good deal anyway.
We have the power, not the player. I'm sick of players crying over not wanting to be at a club they have signed a contract to play for. |  | | |

But bench warmers are expensive these days. | |

I'd call bull on any player wanting to sulk on the bench for 3 years. The problem is, you let a player go because he's moaning about not wanting to be here, then the precedent is set for any other player to follow suit.
We should make examples of players like this, ultimately, we would then be in a stronger position with others trying to do the same. | | | |

sell Ayew and we're gonna be favourites for the drop. You can't sell our four main strikers without replacements lined up. It's absurd.
I hope this is paper talk and nothing more | |

He'd soon play. I'm all for playing hardball here. Depends what we promised when he signed though. This, and the Sunderland bollox indicate something not straightforward. I wouldn't be touching this agent again with a bargepole. | |
