Borja Baston to Alaves on loan on 15:48 - Jul 16 with 5794 views | thornabyswan | I don't get how potter agreed to let him go out on loan without even seeing him play or train. I know he stated we only want players that want to be here but what are we a freebie club that gives players away. 15 million quid mind and that's just the fee. | |

Hard to see him train or play when he won't come back to the UK. | | | |

The club must have sanctioned it or he would be in breech of contract. | |

Exactly this. Him and his agent forced our hand. Apologies for putting up thread same time as you by the way. | | | |
Borja Baston to Alaves on loan on 15:55 - Jul 16 with 5747 views | UplandsJack | I recall reading somewhere on here a year or 18 months ago someone claimed Curts was horrified when he saw Baston train that we'd paid £15 million for him. Now im not saying that was true, but maybe if so he told Potter as much and he was happy to let it play out. Plus of course Potter also mentioned in one of his first prezzers he only wanted guys here, who wanted to be here to fight for the shirt. | | | |

He’s either been told he’s not in Potters plans or has asked if he can stay in Spain and the club have agreed. Probably a bit of both. He hasn’t just refused to come back. | | | |

Potter wouldn't have had a choice in the matter. Was probably driven by the desires of the player. He was never coming back. | | | |

Amazed he was a professional footballer ant any level to be honest. Couldn’t trap a ball, wasn’t fast or agile, and had a canny knack of always being in the wrong position when balls came into the box. Heaven knows how he scored so many goals in Spain?!? | | | |
Borja Baston to Alaves on loan on 17:19 - Jul 16 with 5377 views | thornabyswan | And we will be subsidising his wage. Club should have told him to come back and train and took it from there. As soon as he signed was not interested a bit like Tabanou. | |

Tabanou Messa A.Ayew Baston Bony Bartley Emnes Grimes. Nucleus of a good side there but Huw the untouchable carries on regardless. | |

Borja Baston to Alaves on loan on 18:26 - Jul 16 with 5157 views | majorraglan | Borja Baston has a very good season in Spain the year Swansea bought him. I seem to recall that Atletico Madrid were reluctant sellers. I was also told that during training sessions he was very sharp in front of goal and in the box, sadly that never materialised in to match performances in tha PL. It hasnt worked out for him here or at Malaga, two teams that struggled and flirted with relegation. I think there is a tidy player in there, but it will need the right manager playing the right system to bring it out. With some tidy players around him he may blossom. I hope he scores 25 plus next season for Alaves so that his value rockets and Swansea can recoup their money. I am not holding my breath though. | | | |

Wasn’t Frank a bosman. Not saying it makes him a good signing but perhaps not as financially a disaster as that of Borja the Baston. | | | |

Yes he has. It doesn’t take long to notice when a player is a long way short of being physically powerful enough for his position. He realised it very quickly and pretty much retreated to deeper positions where he was less likely to get clattered. He came with a big reputation but was a bit of a wet lettuce. He didn’t rip any trees up at Malaga last season either. | | | |
Borja Baston to Alaves on loan on 19:46 - Jul 16 with 4889 views | moonie | No he didn't He couldn't have . How many games did he start or even come on as sub. I'm not saying he s any quality but ,like Mesa, he was bought ,then dumped. Do you not find that simple fact odd. | | | |

Have you not considered that maybe his lack of quality/ physique was noticed in training? When he was given a chance either via the bench or a starting spot he was absolutely abysmal, again not his fault, we didn't put a gun to his or Atletico Madrid's head.. just another Jenkins clusterfùck | |
