coda Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 I was hoping Heskey would end up at Sunderland. MON, I am disappoint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 If the reported fee is £15 - £20m can you really say no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villan4Life Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Swansea sign Michu for 2million, what a bargain.. he got 15goals from midfield last season in la liga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morpheus Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 We were linked to those two under Houllier I think? Holliet is a great pick up for QPR, easily their best signing of the summer, they'll be comfortably mid table. I'd be in for Rondon from Malaga like a shot, magnificent young striker, can see him doing really well in the prem. We should have moved heaven and earth to sign him especially since he has moved to a team like QPR. Bitterly disappointed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troglodyte Posted July 21, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted July 21, 2012 Oscar has had a medical at Chelsea. I think he'll be a very good signing for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big_John_10 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I can't believe we haven't made a move for hoillet. I think Heskey would be a great signing for a championship club. Look at the impact Jason Roberts had last season. I think Heskey would bully defenders and probably score a few in the championship. I've hated having him here but he seems a nice guy so I hope he finishes his career on a high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We might well have done but i would of thought he'd choose us. I think he's the type of player we should of done what ever it takes to sign.

PieFacE Posted July 21, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted July 21, 2012 To be honest, I think there were many better teams than QPR who were in for him. QPR probably just offered the most £££ to him. There's no evidence to support this, other than the fact he's far too promising to only have QPR in for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 What's with Liverpool trying to sign Joe Allen? Thought they weren't allowed to sign any Swansea players? Why wouldnt they be allowed to sign any Swansea players? I was under the impression that after Liverpool poached Rodgers from Swansea, they were contractually prevented from signing any Swansea players for a certain amount of time. Also IIRC, they found a loophole if you will, when they were after Sigurdsson, for he wasn't technically a Swansea player at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwpzxjor1 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 There's always ways around it. They can pay off Allen's contract and throw some money to Swansea to release him, then pick him up as a free agent. What this prevents is them forcing Swansea's hand by turning a players head. Sigurrdson was never a Swansea player so no problem signing him, but yes, there were stories of it being in the Rogers contract that they wouldn't sign any Swansea players til at least after 2012-13 season.

I know you hear sometimes a manager will agree that he wont go in for a player from a previous club as a gesture of goodwill (though I've never actually seen any evidence beyond media speculation) but I cant see how Swansea can restrict Liverpool's right to free trade, or why they would need such a clause in a contract in the first place as there is nothing stopping them from rejecting every bid Liverpool make for a player.

Zatman Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 apparently they said on Sky that Liverpool can only sign Swansea players if another club also makes a bid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 As for Hoilett i dont really buy the hype around him, he looked good in a terrible team but was not worth the 50 or 60k a week he was demanding. rather him at QPR than Villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morpheus Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Totally disagree. Hoilett has already proved what a talent he is in the Premiership and i would prefer him in our team rather than Gabby who has been shite for two seasons now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Dogg Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 How is Hoilett any different then N'Zogbia? A stand out in a shit team. Too much of a risk on those wages plus compo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
