Guest MattP Posted 31 January 2014 Share Posted 31 January 2014 It's disturbing we've rejected it straight off the bat. Well hopefully it's a poker tactic and we're waiting on a another offer. We're being offered 2.5million for a striker who can't finish combined with a left back who can't defend. I thought his Ngog signing was bad but Laudrup must be seriously losing it.

indierich06 Posted 31 January 2014 Share Posted 31 January 2014 Funny way of showing it when he hardly features for us. You don't need to see him play games to see that Schlupp is an absolute monster. Fast as you like and very, very strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MattP Posted 31 January 2014 Share Posted 31 January 2014 Sick of the usual "what an athlete" bollocks. This is football, not boxing or athletics. Akinbiyi and Benjamin were brilliant athletes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanSP Posted 31 January 2014 Share Posted 31 January 2014 I'd be all over having a crack at John Flanagan from Liverpool on loan, not sure if Rodgers is keen to use him about the first team, though. Unlikely. Glen Johnson seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth and Flanagan is being used as a right-back instead. (he's a left-back?). And plus Aly Cissokho seems to be absolute dog-turd for Liverpool so Flanagan will be used there too I'd think. Well hopefully it's a poker tactic and we're waiting on a another offer. We're being offered 2.5million for a striker who can't finish combined with a left back who can't defend. I thought his Ngog signing was bad but Laudrup must be seriously losing it. Probably has no idea Swansea have made a bid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indierich06 Posted 31 January 2014 Share Posted 31 January 2014 It's disturbing we've rejected it straight off the bat. If you were selling a house you wouldn't take the first offer you got, would you? First bid is all about testing the water - taht won't be the maximum Swansea are willing to pay for him. It's not about what we perceive him to be worth, it's about trying to get the best price. Rejecting the first offer out of hand shows that we think he's worth more than that and if they want him, they're going to have to up their bid. Not really a risky tactic on the first bid, if they actually want him they'll come back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The whole world smiles Posted 31 January 2014 Share Posted 31 January 2014 Some of the comments in this thread really make me laugh, just cause he has been dropped by the manager does not make him a bad player over night, one bloke saying "oh he has only scored one goal in 22 games". Thats cause he's been playing left back you Moron! I remember similar "I'll drive him there myself" comments when Sven wanted to flog Lloyd to Shef Wed for 200k now look at him 200k wouldn't buy you a signed lloyd shirt . Jeff is the 2nd best left back at the club and a very promising Striker the last time he started two games on the trot in his preferred position he went 2 goals in two games last april. Just cause the manager is not playing him does not make him shit look at Maxi Gradel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoxG2 Posted 31 January 2014 Share Posted 31 January 2014 City reject Swansea's 2.5mill offer, he's going to be pissed off, I hope he's not one whose contract is up at the end of the season , if so we'll lose him for nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingfox Posted 31 January 2014 Share Posted 31 January 2014 £2.5 million for a player who doesn't even start, plus in recent games sometimes he hasn't even been on the bench. And as Tanner said we rejected it? Is this some kind of sick joke? Forget his potential, this is easy money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSpaM Posted 31 January 2014 Share Posted 31 January 2014 Really? One has his whole career ahead of him and the others is coming to an end. I honestly think we've seen everything he can offer already tbh Sorry but that's just my opinion, he could end up blooming into the best striker in the country but I just don't see it personally, I reckon people have just got a bit carried away at the fact Man U were looking at him. We'll be lucky to get anything for him if he just sit's in our reserves for another season. Can you honestly see him starting games in the premiership should we get promoted?

Forget his potential, this is easy money. so what if he becomes a top notch striker when he reaches his potential and gets sold for silly money? we shouldn't ever sell potential, easy money? it could be double or triple that in a few seasons, or it could be half that or next to nothing, personally i think he's worth keeping and developing some more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
