Bid for Rory Fallon

Winkle · Jan 17, 2006

Swansea have made a £300,000 bid for Rory Fallon, reports tomorrows papers... they can have him for £3000,000 as well, he is not worth it

Its grim up north&#33; · Jan 17, 2006

£3000,000 would get Barry Harris a good shag!

BLUEBLOOD · Jan 17, 2006

I got a text last night* saying Fallon was signing for us on Wednesday.. i think he'd be worth a punt at about £100,000.. but not 300 surely

* = It was the usual "i know a man who lives next door to Adam Barretts hair-dresser etc etc..."
Make of it what you will

Barrett's hair dresser?

Obviously a load of bull.

300,000 is a bit too steep IMO, but if Swansea want to throw all their money at buying strikers then there's nothing we can do about it...!

Talk in the papers this morning is that Trundle will sign for Everton for 1.25million.

A big NO! I don't think Fallon would not cut out for Championship, I do feel Hayter or C. Davies (Oxford & Wales U21) is good enough for Championship (if he good enough for Verona then he good enough for us).

300'000 is an waste of money for a forward who not long time ago, cannot get into Swindon first team.

The Viking · Jan 17, 2006

Exactly. He is currently in his one good season. If we got him for about 50K, I'd say it was worth a gamble, and he's slightly different to what we've already got. But certianly not £300K!

Hayter's easily good enough for the Championship, Davies isn't IMHO yet despite Verona's approach.

As for Fallon how can Swansea justify splashing £300k on him when Leon Knight only cost them £125k? It doesn't bother me anyway, I'm just delighted he's not signing for us as I don't rate him at all - he's far too one-dimensional and has only had a decent few months of goalscoring. Ask Yeovil fans what they thought of him on loan last season, they'll tell you just how bad he was.......

The best news though is that Trundle's Everton deal is finally set to go through for £1.25m

Murkey_Mouse · Jan 17, 2006

Trundle's is class above anyone at League One, even Swansea have sign Fallon & Knight but put both together, they not in same class as Trundle. Swansea already starting to feel the reality what its like to not have him in the team. Knight might score a hat-trick on his debut, but its was agasint a poor MK Don side who look like staying bottom for rest of the season (I hope I say about the same about us in our postion at end of season

). Knight have shown he cannot play at Championship level, which Trundle can play there.

Is it? We're still at rumour stage, rather than "deal done" stage, so far as I can make out:

Telegraph - Rumour Mill

Indeed, Trundle's agent suggests that he's staying put:

Wales on Sunday - Lee is a Swan...

There's a fair bit that still needs to happen before Trundle becomes a Toffee...

Murkey_Mouse · Jan 17, 2006

Come On' Everton! Everton! Everton! Clap! Clap!

Please Fcuking sign Trundle ..... he want to go there & he know it himself

Leon Knight is definitely good enough for the Championship.

SUFCFARAWAY · Jan 17, 2006

Apparently Swansea had made a 300K bid for Fallon and..............it was turned down!!

Whether Knight can play in the Championship is totally irrelevant. What's important for us is "is he good enough at L1 level to help get Swansea into 1st or 2nd place, or at worst 6th?". If the answer is yes then that makes life harder for us.

exactly. If they sign players which means they get up then it might be at our expense so priority is to get up.

RobB11 · Jan 17, 2006

Theo Walcott for 15k, don't make me laugh...he might be a good prospect and class for his age but that really takes the p%&s. worth more than vieira! i think not.

EastStandBlue · Jan 17, 2006

I can tell you now it won't be Fallon... £300k for what most Swindon fans consider a Donkey is a hefty bid to turn down considering he can move for free in the summer, and I for one would question the clubs decision if they pay over the odds for Fallon and miss Hayter...
