Scott Sinclair (continued)

[JoeMercer'sWay]

Swansea have released the fee so I don't see us getting him for less than £7-8m, the best result on City's part would be either to buy a better player(please) or get him for £6.5m as a compromise.

Two words...Brian Marwood.

Two words... stop flapping

I'm not flapping one bit. I don't expect Marwood to be able to sign anyone therefore I haven't got my hopes up like the rest of you. If he gets his P45 on 1 September when Soriano arrives then the club will be in a far stronger position in my view.

If you didint expect us to sign anyone why are you bothered about the departure of AJ making it harder to sign Sinclair.

And given Khaldoon had publicly praised the work Marwood has done does that mean you question his judgement.

No matter of money, number of companies on portfolio or experience means that you always get it right.

Just saying from a devil's advocate pov.

 

[Manc in London]

The delay could be due to us looking at someone else.

What the Swansea chairman should realise is that we are not a club, like Swansea, that could be run from a front room. As well as chairman, he probably mans the ticket hotline and pulls pints behind the club bar.

 

[moomba]

I wonder if Marwood will get the blame for the coming hurricanes .

Ultimately, this transfer window has not gone how anyone expected.

As i said in another thread, I cannot believe this owners would suddenly become super prudent after winning the league by a whisker and exiting at the group stages of the champions league.

Ultimately, someone will be to blame. It might be Marwood, it might not be. But I really don't think the owners would suddenly change their approach from players like Aguero, to Rodwell and Sinclair.

As it happens, I like Rodwell and Sinclair, but I also expected a starter who would instantly improve the team.

They did say a couple of years ago that the spending wouldn't carry on. I think money is still there to spend but we don't need signing as urgently as before.

Still think we'll get a couple of good ones in before Friday anyway.

 

[Marvin]

If Swansea want more for Sinclair then we can wait or go elsewhere. Feel a bit sorry for Sinclair who wont know whether he is coming or going

 

[stan bowles]

Along comes another one, you base that statement on what ?

Pizzaro and Rodwell are the only new players in since Cook left and our priority all summer has been a CB. That's what I base my assessment on.

You assume our priority has been a centre back, and if you are right about that, it doesn't mean that our failure to sign a centre back is down to Marwood. There are a lot more factors at play that you or I can't possible guess what is going on

Quite correct - just giving my opinion. Yours is just as valid as mine whether or not you agree with me. I thought Marwood had assumed responsibility for players in/out since Cook resigned although Khaldoon has the final say. If we are looking to sign strikers and wingers and not cover at CB then those running the club must have more confidence in Kolo and Savic than the vast majority of the fans.

 

[paulchapo]

can't blame Marwood for ffp

blame that french twat

I don't see PSG or Chelsea worrying about FFP and i can't see either club generates more money than us,though i may be wrong.

 

[pudge]

I hope the irony hits the Swansea chairman like a ton of bricks

Certainly. But you would think some of the people in charge of the club (including Khaldoon and Marwood) would get some benefit of the doubt considering the couple of years we've just had.

I wonder if any other side having just won the title would have such dissatisfaction with the players and management as we seem to have on here.
