Viera - Las Palmas - 25mill Euro bid on 18:54 - Aug 8 by londonlisa2001 | That doesn't say that. At least, the quote from Clement doesn't. I read that BBC interview and he didn't say Viera was our priority. That's why I asked. |
(EDIT: Clement has confirmed our, and more importantly his, interest in Viera, something he hasn't done with anyone else.) Implying the club was bringing him in, essentially. It's all smoke and mirrors at the top and in the media, but we are definitely very interested. Viera is top-class and Clement knows this. He won't get a better player this summer and he knows this. If Viera doesn't end up with us, the only explanations are that Siggy isn't leaving or Las Palmas wouldn't let him go. It's that simple. (EDIT: If the deal for Siggy does happen, I'd imagine the first offer we'd make would be for Viera.) [Post edited 8 Aug 2017 20:33]

If he does have a release clause and we did offer that, they wouldn't have a choice? I have no idea whether we do want him, or whether we would ever pay his release clause or not. It may be that we would want him for a lesser sum and don't at the amount it would take? Who knows. I doubt we would pay €30m for anyone to be honest. Whether we sell Siggy or not. | | | |

I would agree there, Lisa. I never thought the club would spend £20m, much less £30m. It is a lot of money for us, and the reticence to spend it is understandable. But, if we get close to £50m for Siggy, we could definitely afford it. It sounds like that may not happen, though, as the "Siggy Is Off" Express has stalled a bit. We'll see. | | | |
Viera - Las Palmas - 25mill Euro bid on 19:56 - Aug 8 with 3074 views | E20Jack | It turns out we all agree then. We can get him if we want, we are choosing not to presumably as we don't feel he is worth the fee. Wonderful, we can now move on. | |

We haven't. We've got a 22 page argument with a few Viera posts chucked in for good measure | | | |

Classic case maybe, Landore. But, for perspective, the interest we have shown is genuine. Clement actually admitted this, something not done with any other potential player. It has been reported that Las Palmas rejected our actual bid(s), as well, and their president has essentially pleaded with Viera to stay. We want Viera badly if we end up selling Siggy, but everyone can't just wait around for that to happen. In summation: if he doesn't end up leaving, it won't be because we haven't tried. He would just rather stay at his hometown club and be the star, and get to play with David ffukkingg Silva in two years. That, or Siggy isn't leaving. But again, until there's official confirmation either way, anything can happen. The article even says "process of negotiating". So far, we've been in the process of selling Siggy all summer. So take all these "reports" with a grain of salt. We'll see what unfolds. | | | |

Good stuff, 247, fair play. But, I wonder, who actually posted those "few Viera posts" in the first place? I have attempted to stay on topic and provide relevant information about Viera, a player I know very well. Someone, not naming names as I'd rather let a sleeping alligator lie, has obsessively and incoherently tried to destroy the thread the entire time. It's all there for everyone to see, just stating reality here. | | | |
Viera - Las Palmas - 25mill Euro bid on 20:20 - Aug 9 with 2215 views | E20Jack | Destroying the thread is stating that he is a financially stupid signing? More like destroying peoples childlike fantasies that we can sign anyone we want, but that doesn't sound as dramatic does it... What a plum | |

Each of the players mentioned first were AT THE TIME still far above our station. They were never coming to Swansea, and anyone who thinks so "doesn't understand the finances" of football. Simple concepts. Again, I'll be the man here and leave it at that. | | | |

Then yes, you do not understand the finances of football. Aubemayang was very attainable at the time. We even spoke to him after agreeing a fee (I believe) - he decided he wanted to go elsewhere. You may not know it but we were in Europe that year. Simple concepts. You are never a man, you are a troll - always. I will be the man though and continue to mock you everytime you desperately mention me | |

Just to establish reality: http://www.swansea.vitalfootball.co.uk/article.asp?a=320901 Key quote from Aubameyang: "I have met with Michel Laudrup, they have a good project, but I need Champions League to progress." So in other words they "were AT THE TIME still far above our station" and "never coming to Swansea". Fail. Classic E20 (Dimi). [Post edited 9 Aug 2017 21:31]

I'm good, Loyal. I do pretty well for myself in that area, not gonna lie, and Dimi is of the obsessed stalker ex-girlfriend variety. I'll avoid. But, honestly, if Dimi is a woman it would make sense. Displays all the tendencies of a few batshit flings I have had before. They ended very badly, and I learned my lesson. Again, I'll avoid. | | | |
