It was actually a choice between Tyler Walker and Matty Godden. The former (young, full of potential, tipped for the top) turned us down and we spent £750k on the bloke who couldn’t get in Peterborough’s starting XI.

This might be the single worst take ive seen on here and i have read, and posted some utter shite


Goddens signing was one of the most important in years. His goals, in all them narrow wins we achieved in the L1 winning season were literally the difference between promotion and not.

Yes now we've outgrown him but his goals (along with walker tbf that season) also helped keep us up first season back

He'll see its full of people who could write their football knowledge on a stamp

He's better than Allen and probably Palmer.

He will do well for us

All that's been questioned isn't even the signing it's the fee

It is if there's no extra money being provided.

I don’t disagree with how Godden has been good for us that’s not the point I was making

It’s factually accurate, we turned to Godden only when Tyler Walker chose to turn us down and go to Lincoln.

If you’re really looking for a single worst takes I could refer you to some of your own….

It's a really weird flex to compare Waghorn and Patterson

It's fucking weird as well that some people after crying about us needing more players are upset with the idea of us signing for a reasonable fee a decent player in a position we need

Well Hilssner takes all kind of flak for being paid £200k a year for doing nothing, but according to you it’s a small, nominal sum, so what’s the big problem?

He didn’t do anything you answered your own question. We could try and get a bunch of people with a wage ceiling of £200k a year but then we have a bottom league 1 salary plan

great strategy that

Waghorn had 10 the season before we signed him and 16 before that.

Last season was by far Paterson’s best ever for goal involvements.

200k pa is about 3850 per year, what do some people think footballers good enough for the Championship earn?

I would think £4K a week is about the lowest average for run of the mill squad players in the championship.

Interesting article from 12 months ago from the Swansea local press. They felt Swansea were holding out for £750k to £1m for Paterson. Also a little footnote they were interested in Josh Wilson Esbrand

New Swansea City signings and Paterson resolution to come in final 10 days

Transfer deadline day is not too far away, and Swansea City still have plenty of work to do in the winter window

Patterson is a good enough player who isn't going to cost a fortune. Yes he's not O'Hare but O'Hare isn't going to be around again fora long while.

There's loads of things we can complain about but buying a player to fill an actual need isn't one of them

I think the issue is more of a financial one than a footballing one. If debts have been sorted, but the available cash is the same, I don't think it's unreasonable to have a few question marks on this.

Swansea should have took the money.

Getting a decent fee for a player over 30 is rare.

I didn’t write the rules - it’s just the way it is.

Other thing that I like about signing Patterson is that he's a shit house. Ideal in a team so soft like ours.

Why? It's a position of need for not a large fee. What else do you suggest we do? We need a new AM, what is your plan then?

Per annum, so basically 3850 per "week" is 200k a year. That doesn't buy you much in the current market

Look in the league below or abroad for younger players capable of making the step up.

For people saying 250-400k is a lot of money, please can you name someone better we can get for less? Bearing in mind it can't be a loan as well as it sounds like the final loan spot will be a Centre Back...

Considering Twine was what 4m? Who do you want for 400k

also considering Brexit rules make it notoriously difficult to sign foreign players - which top league in Europe are we getting a championship standard AM for 400k?

Problem is we need an immediate impact.

Any younger player who is capable of an immediate impact in the Championship would cost significantly more than 400k.

400k guaranteed championship performer and gives us an extra dimension in the 10 role. If we can get 2 good seasons out of him then it’s good business. It means when we sell Vik in the summer MR can concentrate on other areas of the squad and build another squad for the next 2-3 years.
