If he is seriously going to Qatar, then he's going for the money and saying **** it to his career as a footballer. I'm not sure we really want a player with that attitude, though I really would've liked him to stay and thought he was one of three Spaniards that would. I guess the question is now, will Canas leave or not? He still hasn't gone. (Amat seems to be staying)
True. Only one of the Laudrup boys has left for a bigger club (Michu). All the others have taken backward steps. It's not like at Soton where the likes of Liverpool, Man Utd and Spuds have been fighting over players and willing to pay tens of million of pounds for their services. Surely that says something about the quality of players leaving.
In that case, are you saying the rest of our squad are s**t too, as haven't seen those clubs come in for them either And if you use the "they were not being bid on stuff" Then the same question regarding the players we brought in....where were the big clubs trying to get their signatures. Are you saying we replaced **** with ****?
The most embarrassing thing for me personally, is that whilst the players were Swansea City players, they were the bee's knees who all had their faults such as chico, but now they are gone, they are the devil. I respect each and every player who has left us, or joined us, they all have their reasons, but some of the comments on this thread and others, I have made clear I think are shocking.
There's a couple IIRC who've called him a loser. Very disrespectful in my book to a manager who gave us our greatest season. I class them along posters who call Monk and/or Huw chumps.
Yes, I sympathise greatly with my watch. It works so hard moving its hands round 24/7 and most of the time I'm not even looking at it.
Two million for a proven CB in Chico , 7 million for an unproven Fernandez .Fernandez seems a good player but what do we know yet .We are paying threw the nose for players to replace our gems ....
Hernandez is an Argentine international with World Cup experience. He's highly rated. He is not unproven.
Chico and Michu for 4 million = best season ever ....Replacements , Fernandez and Siggy for 16 million = pending . Laudrup was sacked to get back to the "Swansea Ways " , really !. We WERE a team that bought low and sold high during success . We are being ran more different now than when the rug got pulled .We pay more for keeping peoples mouth shut than we spent getting here .people use to want to come to the team , now we overpay to get them here ... unless they refuse to come I havent really looked up the figures but I bet more people will leave the team this season than the previous 3 put together . The Vorm fiasco would have never happened in the past , weve lost our "Swansea " way imo . Ill always love the club , but to me the Swansea way was with those players that came up from the 1st division and Championship and kept playing a big part of us staying in the Premier .... they taught the new recruits the Swansea way to play Rangel , Monk , Williams , Britton , Dyer , Gower , ... how much for these guys .
Chico bought for 2 million , playes his heart out and sells for enough to cover his original transfer cost , plus his wages , and has to read a ungrateful trash mouth like you
