Stamenić would have been a huge loss to the club.


Not sure about huge. As good as he can be sometimes he holds us back in others.

He's almost Grimeseyan in his ability to be either hugely influential or somone you're hoping that the manager subs off so he can get the f*ck out of the way.

Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

Is Walta move structured as a loan now,permanent later because of the number of foreign players restrictions in a season and was that the case with Widell?


A loan to buy i usually includes a pre-agreed final fee and payment terms (as i understand it) This is good for Swansea as if he plays brilliantly Sirius cannot up the price.

The first option is no good to Swansea if it is £15m unless another team has offered £18m. I recall a centre forward playing for Watford I think who was on loan and the players valuation rocketted and he was moved on the same day to another team as Watford (?) could not afford it as they did not get promoted. They flipped the player.

After some research it was Benik Afobe. Taken for HITC

[An example that will be fresh in a lot of people’s memories, Benik Afobe’s double-transfer window came in the summer of 2018. The Congo international looked a real danger man in League One and in the Championship with MK Dons and Wolverhampton Wanderers, before Eddie Howe offered him a crack at the Premier League with Bournemouth in January 2016.

£10 million was the fee, but after a disappointing start to the 2017-18 campaign, the Cherries made Afobe available in the January transfer window. He returned to Wolves, on-loan, but with the option to make the deal a permanent one for the same £10 million fee he had been sold for. Afobe scored 6 goals in 16 games to help his former club win promotion to the Premier League, and they took up the option to make the deal a permanent one in the summer.

They seemingly had little intention of playing him in the top flight though, and just 11 days later Wolves turned a £2 million profit on the 26-year-old who joined recently-relegated Stoke City. It looked like a smart piece of business by the Potters, but Afobe managed only 8 league goals last season, and Stoke were the most underwhelming side in the division.}

I think the window was as good as we could expect without selling because of the PSR rules. Did Santos not going and freeing up funds put a stop to the immediate purchase of Walta. As the loan contract is in place with the purchase to be completed on July1st [as per the official site] it is basically nothing more than an accounting exercise. His fee will not change, the terms of his contract are agreed its all signed by both clubs and the player. Well done by the club sorting out a difficult situation with a positive result as negotiations have been ongoing for a very long time and not just the last 10 days.

Disappointed we didn't sign a striker. Hopefully Vipotnik stays injury free. I know people will say Cullen, Ronald etc can play as a striker but imo they aren't.


i agree and with Hardie also joining Wales at huddesfield i hope its not from one bench to another for our lad, and we have to wait for Idah to be fit a bit of a gamble which some will see as ok , time will tell,

He will be given a chance, Huddersfield are covering his wages which are minimal by Swansea standards. His class for me will show through. My belief is they can’t ignore him.
