Deal off

when you lose two midfield players, they needed replacing
________
Considering we have another midfield player who is now playing at full back and doing such a god job you could argue moving him back to midfield might be a mistake, you could argue that we are down three players in midfield making the signing of James more important.

Leeds get charged with going against the spirit of the game yet Swansea go and pull something like this
Agreeing a transfer, allowing the player to go off and take a medical but then stonewalling the player and club he is going to.

How is any of that in the spirit of the game?

Nailed it Milky.

“The issue is money.”

Really?!

How much should Leeds have offered?

By all accounts, it appears the deal was done, but the seller disappeared for the last 5 hours.

I respect the club is being managed on a fiscally responsible basis.

I just don’t agree that this deal fell through because of Leeds not willing to pay what was asked.

One has to wonder who it was that paid for James to fly from Swansea to Leeds. I assume us. Will we be reimbursed the cost of the ticket?

Don’t think you read past that first sentence Jonny, or you’d realise i wasn’t specifically referring to payment terms of the deal.

Swansea chairman has resigned. What a total $hitehouse he is.

I'm not so sure Sol, he brought them back from etc brink, attracted some good managers, played good football and took them to the Prem. Never easy with new owners.

I couldn't give a £uck about Swansea.

I'm only concerned about him scr€wing Leeds over on deadline day.

How did he screw Leeds over. He found out that he wasn't going to get any money until June, and that if deal was made permanent the fee was in fact going to be spread over 4 years, so he didnt go for it.
