For us, but not for their fans! They also got Gomis on a free transfer, the thrifty bastards.

Has anyone gone yet? :conf:

I know the belated Christmas present of an arrival will have to wait but all this uncertainty about departures is torture.
The bloody taxi meter for sick note keeps ticking!

Why does nobody listen? I did tell you that this was going to be the crapest transfer thread EVER. Of course no fooker's gone... (well apart from Laurie Wilson).

Preston are in need of a winger and have been linked with a move for feeney along with Charlton but it appears that wages will be a big stumbling block for Preston.
Interesting to read, BEN/Iles had him down as one of our lower earners. Does that mean Preston are doing well on even tighter finances than we have, or that even our lower paid players are on over the odds wages?
Bit of both. You get the feeling our wage bill still smells Premier, theirs has the tang of League One. And yes, I've seen the league table.

As Marc Iles put it in a reply to someone who asked the same question: "not being one of Bolton's biggest earners does not necessarily mean he fits well into another, more organised, wage structure..."

In other news (BN), Swansea offered £2m for Clough AND Vela, were rebuffed and "stepped back from the deal" - but may be back as deadline looms.

Neither Preston nor Charlton can afford Feeney's wage. Ipswich can't afford Pratley's.

Oh and I heard the other night that SWFC offered Davies £21kpw over 3.5yrs... then halved it.

It'll be the former. Come on, this is Swansea.

Why the fookity fook are we thinking of offloading Alex Samizadeh to Derby County??? He can't possibly be on a huuuuuge wage, and as he's come through the Academy and is supposedly promising, then why not keep him so that once the smoke has cleared we can tamp him into the burning hole that will appear after the fire sale has disposed of the cinders?

I know, it's a bit of a weird one that. I've heard through the twitter-vine that he's been promoting these Derby stories on his FB page.

I spotted him on RamsTalk, he's got two pages to himself on their transfer sub-forum.

Well, it doesn't follow that he'd go to Preston to earn the same that he does playing for us. His agent will be fully aware that not only that if Preston want him then they'll have to pay him more than he's currently on, but also that they'll be getting him on the cheap and he'd like to see as much of that saving as is possible passed on to his client by way of wages.

£2m for Clough AND Vela is absolutely taking the pish. I've read on the Beeb today that Wolves are after Mason. Nice lad, half decent and at the time I'd have been happy to see him stay with us. The report said Cardiff were 'holding out for £6 million ' :shock: :shock:

I'd guess Feeney's wage is fairly middling for the division, but big for Preston. He is 29 and this might be his last big contract, so he won't be keen on signing a shit deal. If I were him I'd wait until summer.

Swansea can f*ck off, but I bet they don't. Notable that they were told to f*ck off - we may seek to raise money but we aren't removing our own trousers.

Because the club has been & is currently being run by a set of incompetent amateurs

Sounds like he wants the move more than BWFC do.

He's not being very mature about it, that 16-year-old

But you don't just rock up at another club's training ground, do you. BWFC must have a hand in it somewhere.

I see from comments that Iles said that, the Derby forum didn't seem o.t.t. about the situation, so if I can ask, in what way is he being immature?
