Incomings 11:36 - Jul 31 with 8826 views | GVJack | Ok, looking forward to 2020/2021, who are our realistic targets coming in? | | | | |
Incomings on 12:35 - Jul 31 with 6938 views | Catullus | I've read he's hoping to get Brewster and Gallacher back for a full season. Also that we've approached Grant Hall whose contact at QPR has run out. Besides them it's difficult to say but, looking at the way Solskjaer has been picking his ream, maybe a cheeky loan bid for Dan James It's hard to call because of the rumours of Rodon leaving (though Citeh have bought Nathan Ake) and we if a bid is made for Ayew we'll probably sell. Tough to know who we'll need. | |

Incomings on 12:39 - Jul 31 with 6931 views | Badlands | Can't see Brewster coming back - his goalscoring with us could be good enough for to spend with Liverpool for at least half first half of the season again. Gallagher - no thanks. Not if Cooper is here. Maybe, Yes please with another manager. Rodon? I still think he will have to prove his fitness with us before anyone will pay a decent fee. If Cooper stays I'd be looking to move if I had any ambition. [Post edited 31 Jul 2020 12:41]

Incomings on 13:47 - Jul 31 with 6870 views | Highjack | I honestly can’t see any PL team moving for Rodon at the moment. Not because he’s not good enough but he’s had a few injuries. | |
| |
Incomings on 15:29 - Jul 31 with 6809 views | swan65split | Loans and freebies , cant see fans being allowed back for a while, on mass anyway, so finances will be tight, or non existent with us! | | | |
Incomings on 17:02 - Jul 31 with 6741 views | BillyChong | Cooper’s interview published today said it would be loans and/or free transfers only | | | |
Incomings on 18:14 - Jul 31 with 6688 views | shingle | You need to grasp that no money or very little will be spent by these owners, so lets put the silly talk to bed. | | | |
Incomings on 18:27 - Jul 31 with 6670 views | majorraglan | From what I can see he’s contracted to Stoke until 2022. He’s rumoured to be on around 50k per week, it’s never going to happen. Unless one of the youngsters gets sold for decent cash, I reckon Ayew will either be sold on or allowed to leave on a free transfer. If rumours of his reported £80k per week are right, that will account for 25% of the final years parachute payment. Covid19 will have put a dent in the cash flow and they will need cash to keep the ship afloat. [Post edited 31 Jul 2020 18:30]

Incomings on 19:59 - Jul 31 with 6593 views | Swansea93 | Apparently close to signing a permanent transfer, I remember someone mentioning a Welsh defender from Carlisle coming here? Could be him on a freebie. | |

Incomings on 20:11 - Jul 31 with 6584 views | onehunglow | Frankly,dont we all need a break from all this. We are like half way up a ladder peeping a vibrant couple coupling vigorously | |

Incomings on 22:02 - Jul 31 with 6507 views | Kilkennyjack | Last year of parachute payments next year. From memory we have about £17m from that. Year after zip. I think thats when the 🇺🇸 owners get out of town. So we need to find £17m cuts, or sell Rodon and carry on for next 12 months. I can only see more loan signings. In fairness they have (mostly) been good to watch. | |

Incomings on 11:25 - Aug 2 with 6191 views | Badlands | Who do you see taking over from the majority shareholders? Anyone looking to buy the club would want all the shares? Do you think anyone buying the club will pump £millions in without looking to recoup their investments? Do you think new majority shareholders would be any better? My answers would be no one almost certainly no no | |

Incomings on 12:38 - Aug 2 with 6147 views | Whiterockin | I don't money will be spent by the majority of clubs in the current situation. Turnover for clubs outside the Premier League will be virtually nil until supporters are let back in. No tickets, no hospitality, no catering, and practically no merchandise. This is going to be one window where most clubs will not be prepared to commit to anything financially, it will be wait until Christmas and review the situation. | | | |
Incomings on 13:08 - Aug 2 with 6129 views | Highjack | Shifting Ayew is vital imo. We simply have to get rid somehow. Harsh because he’s given so much and could have done a Jack Rodwell and just sat on his arse for three years but his wages are crippling us. If that figure of 80,000 is anywhere near true we could probably bring in five or six top quality championship players at least for half of that and still be better off. | |
| |
Incomings on 15:19 - Aug 2 with 6055 views | Badlands | We'd have been totally screwed without him this season! Have to get the balance between cost and value. | |

Incomings on 16:35 - Aug 2 with 6001 views | GVJack | No - and even if you do feel free not to read/contribute, you don't need to answer on behalf of all users of planet swans. | | | |
Incomings on 22:01 - Aug 2 with 5825 views | Swansea93 | If we can afford to keep him on again then hopefully he will stay, could be a win win for him as he is out of contract next summer and get a big sign on fee. Seen him linked to PSG earlier for 5M, don't know how true that is. | |
| |
Incomings on 23:45 - Aug 2 with 5782 views | GVJack | I dont know who else would pay him 80k a week, so I can see him seeing his contract out and as you say getting a decent signing on bonus in what will probably be his last decent move and good wages. Unless the middle East/china or USA come knocking I can see him being a swan next year. Just hope we get the players around him to make us a threat | | | |
Incomings on 10:25 - Aug 3 with 5643 views | pikeypaul | So virtually the same since the sellout barstewards took the millions so we could “move to the next level” under the Yank venture capitalists, who have not invested a cent of their own money in to the club, and just siphoned off the out going transfer fees and parachute money. You get what you deserve with the “trust” 😂😂😂 turning a blind eye and allowing the sellouts to walk away with the millions whilst the club dies. | |

Incomings on 10:52 - Aug 3 with 5624 views | KGriz16 | Alan Nixon claimed Leicester want Andre Ayew from us, and the transfer fee would be put back into the spending money. I've also seen Daniel Ayala being linked, but he looks Birmingham bound with Karanka. | | | |
Incomings on 11:24 - Aug 3 with 5609 views | 34dfgdf54 | Not Nixon, was a parody account. | | | |
Incomings on 11:50 - Aug 3 with 5591 views | Badlands | Ayew has gone from being a 'must get off the payroll' (Birch and Perlman March 2019) to 'must try to keep' August 2020. 15 league goals and 7 assists as a second centre forward would cost a fortune to replace. The financial balance will be quite simply - what can we get/save v what will it cost to replace. Let's be honest, without him this season we would have struggled, not just his goal involvement but his industry and leadership was excellent. | |

Incomings on 16:10 - Aug 3 with 5470 views | Highjack | Nixon has a success rate comparable to Mystic Meg. | |
| |
Incomings on 17:55 - Aug 3 with 5401 views | Highjack | Of course he’s been fantastic but that sort of salary in the championship is not sustainable. | |
