Rodon moving on is inevitable, as it was for McBurnie and James. The trick is to maximise the fee obtained, and the Swansea camp seem to be failing in this department. Currently the going rate for a Championship defender is around £ 25,000,000.00, and that's what he's worth. For the life of me I cannot see why anyone would want to speak to Spurs if they really did offer £ 7,000,000.00. I wouldn't, and I'm sure Jenkins wouldn't, if he were still around.
Trouble is , Leighton James .... good footballer, pity he had an attitude and. a mouth to go with it. Trouble is any money for any Swans player will go straight into the Yanks pockets and not to the Swans. .......... Really wish we could be rid of all the Yanks, ..... then start all over again.
In his playing days he ripped teams apart. What an attirude he had. I could live with that. Arguably the best player I ever saw in a Swans shirt.
L. James was from Penyrheol nr Gorseinon, and as a youngster played a lot of football with other kids on the field at the bottom of my Mothers garden, untlill the farmer ploughed the field up ,and spoilt the bloody lot. His father worked in Felindre works for a long time.
As a player one of the best we've had certainly in my life time , but he really couldn't transfer the footballing skills into management , but you've got to love him for his anti cardiff vitriol
Learnt a lot of his skills, avoiding the Mole hills and Cow pats in the fields in Penrheol. Tough place Penyrheol in those days. They even had a Rugby team called, and known as The Penyrheol Indians in those days, fearsome. .......... no joke, true.
Well, they do own the Club, so they can pocket the money, if that's their desire. Football fans have this strange notion that they are the ones who get to decide what should be done with any fees received from transfers. It always brings a smile to my face. Regulars at Rossi's, the local pub, Mc Donalds, Curry's, etc.., don't have the same expectations.
Many top professional players tried, and failed, at management, viz, Bobby Moore, Bobby Charlton, to name but a few. Management is not for everyone. Some of the top managers had little pedigree as players.
Calvin Lewis free header in to net mepham no where near him. Keifer Moore like bambi on ice. Wales had most of the possession so far.
Half time wales had more possession generally but with bambi going off the height advantage up front has gone.
