Scott Sinclair (continued)

[argyle]

Not sure why we allowed AJ to leave before we had this deal sorted. We are now desperate for an impact sub winger and presumably Swansea realise that. Should have put Sunderland off until this was in the bag imo.

I'd say this was correct. Shouldn't have let him leave until we had a replacement.

 

[moomba]

Are we desperate for him? I wouldn't have thought so, hopefully we'll leave it to the last day and see who blinks first.

again,it can only be down to the"city price".....if it was southampton/or someone similar, in for him..it would be done and dusted for 5-6 million...IMO.

Thats right and thats why we need to stand fucking firm this time.I'd rather we make do than get shafted again.

 

[WyongBlue]

Swansea playing it very well.

Their chairman, their managers plays this together with comments on the subject.

"If City wants him why they dont act?"
"If Sinclair wont move this window I will have him back in the team."

They want 1-2m more of course and they feel they can get it easily.

They bought Michu for 2m and he scored them already 3 goals in the league.
If they get 7.5-8m instead of 5m for Sinclair they have this Michu guy simply free...

You could argue conversely that City are playing it well.

Swansea demand £8m, City refuse to pay it and walk away. It'd leave Swansea with the choice of either accepting a lower fee, or keeping an unhappy player in the last year of his contract who can talk to whoever he likes in January.

Until Friday passes it's hard to say who's negotiating better.

Thats so right, seems like Swansea's saying cough up more money or you wont get our player.....................

 

[the blue panther]

We must be the only club in the world without a proper winger now, unbelievable really. We can get a good winger in three days but it's requires confidence in our negotiating team who haven't done much to instill faith this summer.

Hate to say it but, as we don't really play with wingers.....

 

[omcfc]

We can turn this to our advantage.

Scout out a young fast impact winger from one of the other major leagues. doesn't have to be Ronaldo. Get it done and dusted for £7m. Then make it obvious that this was a direct consequence of Swansea being greedy over SS.

Send a message that we won't be held to ransom, we aren't soft touches and we won't let people take the piss.

 

[Thenumber1blue]

I'd wait till Friday then make a lower offer.

 

[brianisablue]

So if we walk away from the Sinclair deal we're really weak and without a wide player? Stop panicking and just accept that in the brave new world we're not going to let clubs charge what they want. If he doesn't move to City he'll move in January for a fraction of the price. I for one can wait. Ain't pinning my hopes on this one signing anyway so relax......
