I think there will be one last bumper pay day for Ben.
America or Saudi ?
He has been a premiership star for years.
Saying that if Leeds go up they will probably sign him . |  |

Ben has a very high regard for family life and as a couple they are very wealthy. I wouldn't be surprised if he decided to stay relatively local to where he is. | | | |

Without a significant change in the coming weeks, we can’t afford Harry Darling let alone Ben Davies. | | | |

Maybe his home is where he is now
A truly great professional and a modern day great one
A loyal nothing in club man too
I love him | |

" Cannot afford " is not an appropriate term. If the club is losing £100k a week who can they afford? .
The academy has to be used more. Cabango Cullen and Cooper are 4 years out of the academy. The next batch are due Wilson Abdullai Parker Govea Bates perhaps? |  |

Veterans have a bad Cost / benefit ratio. Allen has proved to be terrible signing and is now focusing on his Intentional career.
I feel queasy at "He is a Swnsea jack through and through" comments. Has Roberto Martinez given John Hartson a two year deal Swnsea c would never have got to the Premier league.
Martinez would never had Bony back or Clucas or Sanches. | |

Exactly, he's home regularly though has he has interests here I know that he sponsors Ynysygerwn Cricket and the Football team.
I didn't know that his Mrs has got a successful business though, be great if he did comeback you to see out his career he'll still have a hell of a lot to offer, but I can't see that happening with the wages this lot offer, he knows his worth. [Post edited 17 Oct 17:20]

I can't see him going to America or Saudi myself, for the reasons I posted above. | |

The money they offer though is mental in Saudi you can’t blame players for having their heads turned.
Also with the American league Inter Miami have pulling power with old Dai Beckham attracting top players .
It would be amazing to have Ben home think of that in the pipe line .
That would be a cheat code for promotion if we got Ben and harry tied down 😲.
I think this is Kyle’s last season as a player here tbh.
If we got rid of Kyle + Pedersons wages that would free up 40k a week.
Hopefully Ben would do it through the love of the club. If he did come back.
He is still outstanding at 31 he could have 3 good seasons left in him.
Obviously this is all pie in the sky but god it would show ambition.
In regards to people saying no because of Joey, Joey is a massive figure to have around helping youngsters.
I know he isn’t peak Joe Allen but he is still a club legend.
If only he had come back a bit sooner but he still does a job for us in a cut back roll. | |

Joe still has plenty to offer, maybe not so much on the field, but plenty off it and Ben would do both without a doubt. | |

If it was a choice I would rather pay Cabango and Darling than Ben. It's not going to happen though because the club will not change the downward trajectory with wages. | | | |

Joe Allen is not a club legend in my book.
Loved him 1st time round & his goal against the Basseys was one of favourite away ends to be in.
Played more games for Stoke than us, if he joined us instead of them he probably would of been ( a massive mistake not signing him before Euros)
Back to topic & Ben comes across as a decent human being who would offer a lot on & off the pitch but can’t see it happening. |  | | |

I agree about Joey, a fans favourite to be sure but not in the legends bracket.
I agree about Ben Davies too, we can't afford him and he has bigger fish to fry these days. It'd be nice if he came back on wages we could afford because, y'know, he doesn't need the money but that's fantasy football. | | | |

Even if they are legends at all mate.
Swansea legends come in the form of Curt, L.James and Robbie. It’s an insult to them that anyone is even whispered in their presence 👍 |  |

You asked me who we could afford, I said we couldn’t afford Ben Davies.
Your quoted response to that was a diatribe about why signing veterans was a bad idea.
It was completely irrelevant as to who we could afford, which is why I quoted you directly calling it irrelevant. | | | |

The post that starts a thread can’t be irrelevant by definition. Any response to it can be.
My answer to it is - no, of course not, we can’t afford Harry Darling at the moment.
Further down the thread, you asked me a question, I answered and you launched off on a tangent.
Your personal opinion on signing past/older players is irrelevant when the question was who the club could afford. | | | |
