Bassomylord Posted February 5, 2021 Report Share Posted February 5, 2021 Sometimes making a big signing in January can pay off.... Have we ever made a premier league signing during January either permanent or loan? Other than Lasnbury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardy Posted February 5, 2021 Report Share Posted February 5, 2021 Time & time again Swansea pull off fantastic signings. This lad is different gravy at Championship level. Absolute quality finish from his left peg again. Another demonstration tonight of how far off the top two we sadly are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gone for a big name? Lansbury has hardly played in 4 years so I dont think he can be classed in that level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steviestevieneville Posted February 5, 2021 Report Share Posted February 5, 2021 Haven’t watched any of the game but know how good he is. Especially after we signed Lansbury . It’s just showed the difference in recruitment between the two clubs & why I keep ******* banging on about how flawed our recruitment / scouting policy is.

Well when the player has the choice of a couple of clubs do you think they're going to choose the team fighting for automatic promotion where they may earn themselves a move if they go up or the team just inside the top 10?

If you think Steve L is interested in Promotion you have another think coming my Friend. He and Ashton spout the BS but us fans we'll always be an Inbetweener that thinks they deserve an invite to the cool kids party but will never quite get there.

Mr Popodopolous Posted February 6, 2021 Report Share Posted February 6, 2021 Haven't they had a 3 year advantage of £85-90m in TV money...? Only right all factors considered- that said he would have been an excellent addition for sure. Goes without saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted February 6, 2021 Report Share Posted February 6, 2021 Might it be that his wages proved prohibitive in these Covid times- elephant in the room is £85-90m 3 year gap in Parachute Payments. Credit to Swansea for being quite well run too since coming down, but that 100% helps. What's good for the goose etc, IF Parachute Payments were loans that hit the Balance Sheet or Cash Flow only, club is nice and stable but can't go out and buy an advantage. Why what's good for the goose? See the PL loans to Championship clubs related to Covid- that £8.33m maximum will be a loan and repayable out of future Solidarity Payments or other Central Awards. Very easy to solve, if the will is there. Keep the system if we have to, but exclude it from Profit and Loss Account. Correctly structured loans or distribution would do this.

Seriously though, I do now worry that players will look at us and think "what the hell's going on there? Not worth the risk." because of the crazy amount of injuries.
