Glasgow Rangers bid last week for Morgan Whittaker has been described as incredibly low and not warranting consideration according to a source we speak to close to Swansea City. And even closer to matters of this nature at the club. Had the swans accepted the bid they wouldn’t have even recuperated anything close to the initial £725,000 fee paid for Morgan back in 2021.

And even now the add ons within that deal still remains including a sell on fee.

Russell Martin did indicate a knock back by the club last week with many believing the bidder coming from the championship. If current speculation is to be believed the club is Glasgow Rangers but in any event no matter the interest at the financial levels being offered for Morgan’s services it could be anyone.

With movement now stalling on the transfer of Chiedozie Ogbene from Rotherham and disclosures this morning on the continued ambivalence of the current swans ownership to timely transfer awareness news isn’t good on the player movement front. It doesn’t come as a surprise to many the majority ownership push for the highest transfer fees and will always use every trick in the book to get players in as cheaply as possible. That’s to be congratulated but not to the detriment of the clubs goodwill elsewhere or loss of signings which is now the accusation from numerous sources.

So what is going on ?

It could actually be nothing …

It’s a mystery to some Swansea City followers why Morgan would be on offer this transfer window. Being a success at Plymouth with nine goals this season plus numerous assists he was called back this month with Russell Martin stating it wasn’t for selling purposes. That soon changed and now we are told Morgan can’t play because of interest from other clubs. Now either Russell Martin has had the rug pulled from beneath him or he and the club knew all along of this ‘strategy’ to move the player on this month.

We will leave that down to you, but will most certainly be utilising our numerous contacts to find out when interest and offer(s) were first lodged for Morgan and hope for all concerned transparency remains just that. Because we are at a cross roads this evening with the ownership and the openness of the club itself, and by that we mean all those who speak and make decisions on behalf of Swansea City FC.

We most certainly smell a rat here, and with a string of people also not happy with the current situation, fear not we won’t be holding back if indeed our instincts unveil the remotest of an issue. Draw from that what you will, we don’t really care. We’ve been here before over many years and are more than happy to be there again. Up front, with names and as open as ever.

Here’s hoping the club pull themselves together over the next forty eight hours and be the professional entity we all want them to be. But no matter what happens this whole Morgan Whittaker recall and the timings need qualifying. And they will be.

We now throw this open to you.

Rhonnda_Jack added 22:10 - Jan 16 I don't know why we get shocked anymore it's what we expect by now . The only good thing is in this window it's dead weight being cut. But knowing our luck it will be Joel Piroe sold . Then two late loan deals and a free transfer to make up for it. Selling Morgan is a stupid , the club should roll the dice. If he starts hitting them in at this level he will be worth 5mil plus. We just want one window where they invest in us not DC flaming United. Its a sorry state of affairs. We are 3 points off the play offs and capable of beating anyone on a good day. We need a wing back/s . But we will end up short changed again.

Freelander added 07:00 - Jan 17 These two of Levien and Kaplan have not got a clue on how to run a football club only how much money they can make out of it as we can see by bringing back Whitteker only to be to be told he is for sale just like most of our players it is time for them to go only thinking about themselves they have no interest in the club by the way they have come to watch us play it was a sad day them to bought the club full of broken promises if we had proper investment I think we would still be in the Premiership I have lost all faith in the way them two are running the club just for profit for them two.

ReslovenSwan1 added 18:06 - Jan 17 US owners know they cannot tell Martin who to pick. Whittaker is highly rated by other managers and could not have done more to get into the team. Martin did not play him last season and sent him on loan. He did not play him this year either. The US owners have told him play him or sell him. It is Martin's choice. Martin has never said "I like this player and I am going to give him his chance, he deserves it ".
