skarroki Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 I'm travelling at the moment and there's a South Korean guy in my hostel who seems to believe Ki has left Swansea but doesn't know where he's going. Limited English but I'm guessing he's getting info from Korean football sites that might be making it up or might know more from Ki's side? The way it's fizzled out it looked to me like this was dead but thought I'd share anyways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob182 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 If we are after Ki (which seems likely, as all the papers are reporting it), I hope he's not waiting for another team to make an offer because of how far we have fallen. When average Prem players start to be wary of joining us because of the ownership/funds issues, then we're really in trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AValon Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Its dragging on a bit, which would certainly imply there is something to it. But, being Villa, nothing will probably come of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SikhInTrinity Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 This will not happen anytime soon, as Swansea have Britton injured and haven't signed De Guzman. This he's played the majority of pre-season for Swansea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Yep think this is dead. There was a small piece in one of the papers that he'd turned us down at the weekend. Is there a plan B or is that it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 The rumour being we tried to do this on the cheap. Anyone in the least bit surprised by that if true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 (edited) No. I'd say Swansea will probably sell him for 4m so insulting if we were only bidding around the 2m mark. Edit: In our defence though I'd be surprised if he's sniffy about joining us. I know we're a shambles...but this is a bloke who a year ago was happy to join the madhouse at Sunderland under PDC who were in a worse state than us which was reflected by their start to the season. If he has better offers from abroad fair enough. Edited August 5, 2014 by VillaChris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted August 6, 2014 Moderator Share Posted August 6, 2014 This one is dead in the water I'm afraid folks. I fully expected this deal to happen last week despite the lack of speculation on it as things were seemingly agreed with Swansea but we couldn't meet the players wage demands. Not that they were excessive by PL standards or that they should be out of our reach but that is the major obstacle for Lambert with this or any signing. We still need a another midfielder in my view so back to the drawing board I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted August 6, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted August 6, 2014 (edited) Depends how much "not excessive by PL standards" is. 50k a week isn't excessive by PL standards, but if he was asking for that, I can understand why we wouldn't offer him that. But if it were 30k a week then I'm well pissed off. Edited August 6, 2014 by PieFacE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzy Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Couldn't meet wage demands is worrying. I can't imagine him wanting that much :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 (edited) I would be shocked if it was much more than £30k, he came from Celtic to a very tightly run ship in Swansea. He cannot have been earning that much. Edited August 6, 2014 by rodders0223 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
