Allen to Stoke. Bony to WH ? Obvious that neither fancied a return while they knew they were much loved by the majority of fans. Why ? Wages ? Small town club ? Agents ? Our lack of ambition ? Other clubs better on the pull than us ? Those two this window and IMHO we'd be comfortably mid table.  |  | | |  |

Well he didn't "jump at the chance" did he? Couldn't get by on £55K a week apparently.
I'm not blaming him, just that he didn't "jump at the chance" like you said was common knowledge to someone at the BBC and friends of friends of Joe's family. |
Plus if he wanted back to us that much he could of sat tight at the scousers for a year.
Some of our supporters have swan tinted glasses that is for sure 👠|  | | |

I was told that we offered Joe £55K. Stoke offered him £75K.
We were never in the running at his required wages. |
From the horses mouth. Joe was waiting to come back here. The lease was up on his house in Cheshire. He was expecting Swansea to match Stoke's offer. This did not happen. Joe was then told that Swansea did not make any offer. He is gutted as both him and his wife (who is longing to come back to Penycae) were basically organising the move back.
Joe had to agree personal terms, which he did after nothing from Swansea and the moving guys moved them out.
This is a shame as, in my opinion, he is the type of Swansea player we need in the future. |  |

Swansea has never paid more then 5-7 million for a midfielder. Why should Joe suddenly think Swansea was willing to pay more then double that amount? :-) . [Post edited 24 Aug 2016 23:52]

Once they are gone they are gone. No-one forced them to go. I worry more about the future of our youngsters who play well enough to get a chance in the first team e.g McBurnie and Fulton, and don't really get it. Kingsley being the exception I suppose. What message does this send to promising youngsters we may wish to sign in the future? | | | |

Yay. Another "we should have signed Joe Allen" thread.
I look forward to one of these every time we don't win. |  |

Did Fulton and McBurnie not just play (and score) in our last game then?
With Guidolin also picking Kingsley for our first 2 league matches, I think we can safely say that if the players are good enough and ready for the first team, they'll get their chance. |  |

They were picked because we didn't want first teamers risk injury, the fact they scored when picked adds weight to my argument surely. I'd have given McBurnie a chance rear end of last season, Gomis was hardly setting the world on fire. McBurnie scored two and one assist, now lets see when he'll get his chance in the premier. | | | |

That was a fringe team and Taylor is presumably not match fit after the Euros.
I do think they will get their chances under Guidolin though. Kingsley in particular | | | |

Kingsley is the goods. We'll have trouble holding on to him in a season or two. | | | |

Because Swansea have never been half as rich as they are now? | | | |

I didn't realise that players got to choose who they played for. I assumed the club also had to want the player as well. |  | | |
