Incomings 11:36 - Jul 31 with 9177 views | GVJack | Ok, looking forward to 2020/2021, who are our realistic targets coming in? | | | |  |
Incomings on 13:34 - Aug 4 with 1920 views | ReslovenSwan1 | For Ayew the numbers do not appear to stack up. He will not take a pay drop but concieveably they could bring the averge salary down over a new long term contract. For a player at 30 this is risky. A new 4 year deal at £30k per week (£1.5M pa) is a total income of £6m over four years. If thing go badly he could still get more in Arabia. | |

Incomings on 14:13 - Aug 4 with 1885 views | Badlands | His value also includes the chances of relegation without him or similar player. We can not rely on Grimes to take up the leadership role Ayew provided this season. TBPH I really can't understand the slagging off Ayew is getting from some fans. 18 goals and 7 assists and not our main striker / CF!!!! | |

Incomings on 14:45 - Aug 4 with 1861 views | Whiterockin | I think Ayew was excellent for us this season and his commitment unquestionable. I think the criticism is more to do with the reported £80K a week he earns. Totally unrealistic to pay any player that amount of money for a club our size in the Championship (in all honesty it was stupid when we were in the Premier League). | | |  |
Incomings on 14:57 - Aug 4 with 1851 views | ReslovenSwan1 | The US people need to find a buyer at a knockdown price. This will not happen while legal issues are pending (or not) and they might be quite happy if Mr Birch is balancing the books. | |

Incomings on 09:19 - Aug 5 with 1728 views | felixstowe_jack | Still sadly deluded. Why are you still living in the British Empire you hate so much ? Why don't you return to you beloved Irish republic. | |

Incomings on 09:43 - Aug 5 with 1705 views | Badlands | It is tiring and sad hat some posers still think the US shareholders need to leave. Given their prudence and determination to hold shares in a solvent club ATM I can not see any reason to want them out. If they left now they would probably lose around £30 million ... think millions not 30! | |

Incomings on 14:45 - Aug 5 with 1627 views | ReslovenSwan1 | Some link of Ayew to PSG. The fee quoted was £5m. Assuming a £18m shortfall if Swansea can edge the fee to £7m or 8m that would be good. Add to that his £4m salary and that is £12m already. Dyer and Naughton £1.5m each takes it to £15m of the deficit. The rest can be covered by small fees and savings for John, McKay and Asoro. Brandon Cooper Joe Lewis Oli Cooper and Cullen into the first team squad. There will be another deficit of about £8m for loss of gate reciept. Hopefully some restricted crowds cound shave £2m off that. No one will buy this club for at least 2 years with so many economies required. [Post edited 5 Aug 2020 14:46]

Incomings on 15:03 - Aug 5 with 1603 views | hobo | £20M please. PSG can afford it. He's worth it. Everyone's a winner | | |  |
Incomings on 15:32 - Aug 5 with 1580 views | Badlands | Should we be making these decisions before the new manager is appointed? (I can dream.) | |

Incomings on 17:42 - Aug 5 with 1539 views | majorraglan | Unless there are legacy payments outstanding in respect of previous purchases, if Ayew can be off loaded, the saving generated by his wages along with the those of the out of contract players, I’d have hoped the club wouldn’t be far away from operating on a sustainable basis. If Rodon has to be sold, then I’d hope that was the last and it would all be squared off. Edit typo [Post edited 6 Aug 2020 7:43]

Incomings on 00:01 - Aug 6 with 1468 views | GVJack | A lot of postings discussing Ayews possible exit... I understand the dynamics of it that we need to move him on before looking at additions, but if he were to go (let's call it a nice round 10 mil in transfer fee and salary savings) who do you think are realistic targets to bring in, and who would you like to see? | | |  |
Incomings on 02:01 - Aug 6 with 1430 views | Kerouac | I would sign Ivan Toney from Peterborough Utd to replace Ayew. I'd also enquire about some of these... Harry Souttar (DC), Stoke City, was on loan at Fleetwood Town last season. Jordan Obita (LB), free agent, ex-Reading...if he is properly fit. Kevin Stewart (MC), free agent, ex-Hull Cameron Brannagan (MC), Oxford Utd. Alex Pritchard (AM), Huddersfield Ronan Curtis (Left-Winger), Portsmouth Lyle Taylor (ST), free-agent, ex-Charlton | |
