If Leeds go up I can't see him playing regularly. Plus Leeds aren't really going to do much damage to the established clubs in that league.
His Wales prospects will be harmed also.
He is so raw and needs at least another full season with us.
You'd think Curt would be a type of mentor to him plus some of our older pros. [Post edited 23 Jan 2019 20:30]

The Ayews agent is pretty good at his job, he'll find them new places to go for a payday. We won't be stuck with them. Worst case it'll be another two loans. |
I hope your right.
Reported wages:-
Bony - 100k a week
A ayew- 80k a week
J ayew - 50k a week
Narsingh - 50k a week
Regardless of their playing ability, personal feelings, or what they have done for the club in the past, we need these players off t.he books permanently ASAP! Otherwise we can look forward to more “selling the family silver” as in young, promising, often local players to fund thier wages.
If all 4 are on the books, we are talking over a million pound a month on just these 4 players!. |  | | |

what do you feel to be a fair price?
Personally i'd say £10m with a sell on percentage and other add ons |
8 million plus add ons and hes gone .
I dont think we'll sell below that ,of course his pay rise will also be big.

No, that any figures you're reading now are just rumours and plucked from nowhere.
Let's see what happens. |  |

Some are on loan but yes,exactly right.
This is our problem.
Edit: and try asset stripping when losing that sort of money. [Post edited 24 Jan 2019 12:48]

It's not guess work but of course things can always change. I know that sounds like a cop out caveat but it's also a fact of life.
Imagine Leeds were desperate enough to offer £40k or upwards a week (thinking they are going up) well that could change Dan's thinking.
Imagine the club were offered £10m upwards. This isn't the EPL now and that money would go a long way (please, just for once let's not hijack that sentence with hedgefund crap, let's take it on the face of what it really would be, good bloody business - like when we sold Rodgers and Allen)
So things can change quickly in football. Potter explains this and it's the truth.
But Dan wants to stay and the club don't want to sell. |
Its only a good deal if the money is put back into the squad and young Dan replaced with as good or better. Selling him would weaken us as he has made a good impact and he can still improve with us hopefully. |  | | |

Yes, but only time will tell.
Ideally.we wouldn't be hamstrung with high earners we can't shift so we're not in the perfect place to be making carefree decisions. | |

These players would have had relegation clauses. No way Narsingh would be on 50k, the Eredivisie clubs aren;t great payers and he wasn't rated at PSV. Would likely be half that (before the relegation decrease) |  | | |

Innit. Jenkins has brought Swansea City to the brink of financial ruin by signing players on contracts with no relegation clauses.
Incompetence run wild. His bosses should take the blame for allowing this sh*t to go on unchecked. |  |

Not really, he kept us in the most ruthless and hardest league in world football for 7 years.
All credit for that unprecedented achievement. That was colossal. Almost unbelievable. | |

Sad really. If he had realised his limitations and got someone in with even the slightest clue on player recruitment we'd still be there now. Oh, and I'll add contract negotiation to recruitment too. | |

Some odd comments from Potter. "This time last year he couldn't get a game at Shrewsbury" when his loan was cancelled back on summer deadline day due to injury. You'd think he gets his facts off here the way he talks down some of out players (Cian Harries took a battering by omission today as well).
No offers on the table as far as he's aware, though. |  | | |

Would
Leeds
Forest
Derby
Sheffield x 2
Norwich
Middlesborough
West Brom
Bolton
Blackburn
Aston Villa
Sunderland
Reading
Birmingham
And so, so many more all have done the same as well? Isn't there a bit of a theme above which is much greater than one position in a football clubs hierarchy? | |

He was alot more bullish I found. As you said previously, you liked the way he comes across as honest. He doesn't class Harries as a senior centre half, he has reasons for that and I don't see any problem at all with the comment. Your criticism of him saying about James not being able to get a game at Shrewsbury is pathetic aswell, it's the truth. https://www.shropshirestar.com/sport/football/shrewsbury-town-fc/2017/08/31/shre
Said it doesn't look likely for strengthening as "the financial situation is what it is"
On Pearlman's comments:
“Not a surprise (what he said). Relegation has been tough for everybody to deal with. It was never going to be fixed in one transfer window. We can all sit in here and want things to be different, but the reality is that it is what it is and I have to do my best with the players we have.” [Post edited 24 Jan 2019 14:59]

If we were offered £10m upwards then I won't say a bad word against the sale. Every player has a price, especially in our position, but selling a player for under £5m, which seems to be widely reported is the case, would be pathetic.
They just said we are building a team around our youngsters and to crumble for less than £5m, there can be no excuses as far as I'm concerned. |
I'd be astounded if anyone offered anywhere near £5 million. |  |

I'm assuming because he said we have two senior centre halves, CCV and VDH.

I don't see why we would sell for any less.
In the next few months we would have moved on big earners and we can start rebuilding with players who have come through the academy, that is what the Americans said the game plan was.
As I said earlier, everyone has a price, but I don't see how selling him for under £5m is of any worth to us. [Post edited 24 Jan 2019 15:06]

If you compare it to how he talked about the squad at the start of the season with the young players being in his thoughts, and mention of Byers today, it doesn't look like he considers Cian part of his plans. "Cian's played" was the best he could come up with, and his next option given should anything happen to CCV or vdH was to change the shape.
Lots on here played the technically-correct senior vs. not-senior label game (which was then proven irrelevant with a not-senior player becoming an instant star) but Potter didn't, always promoting how big and talented the squad actually was. Bit worrying for Cian imo. | | | |

That isn't "out of contract"
We are cutting costs by getting rid of big earners. Rodon and Roberts were "out of contract", not James. | | | |

He's only recently started earning the big wage he was getting. Not cheap to bring him from Hull, and neither was his extension. | | | |
