Makes for intresting reading, seems like Brenden has pissed Huw off "Club release statement regarding speculation over midfielder Joe Allen Statement regarding speculation on Swans midfielder Joe Allen A Swansea City spokesman said: “Swansea City can confirm that Liverpool have expressed an interest in Joe Allen, despite a written agreement with Liverpool not to approach any players within the 12-month period of former manager Brendan Rodgers leaving for Anfield. “There has also been interest from other clubs regarding his possible availability and the club is due to speak to Joe, as originally planned, about the situation when he returns from GB duty. “The club is not prepared to release any details on whether any formal bids have been made at this stage or details of Joe’s contract, which are private and confidential. The club is extremely disappointed that speculation regarding certain aspects of his contract have been released to the media by parties outside the club. “Fortunately the club is in a financial position where it does not need to sell any of its players and will continue to work in the best interests of its supporters, who are our priority, and the club to provide new manager Michael Laudrup with the best opportunity to be successful in the forthcoming Premier League campaign" http://www.swanseacity.net/news/article/joe-allen-statement-268264.aspx
Now.. the bit where it says "the club is extremly dissapointed" about details of Joes contract being released to the media could have come from 2 places. 1. His agent,most likely. 2. Brenden Rodgers, unlikley as we have a written agreement in place with Liverpool so nothing to gain for them RE Joe, so there is no way it could be him...
I origionally thought the club were quite ok about this, but the statement above seems to tell us a different story. Could just be a way of squeezing more money out of Liverpool,especially as other clubs have apparently expressed an intrest. Does sound like a Pissed off SCFC to me though.
I think it's nice that they released a statement to call Liverpool/Brendan out on this. Huw is pissed off with Brendan, and it shows. Good on him. I hope this spreads around the media as much as all the speculation has.
Well the speculation was increasing and enough has been written quoting comments that Huw probably thought was getting out of hand , good on him , thats not to say Joe won't go but if it happens it'll be under our terms .perhaps now we can concentrate another topics and some of the vultures can hover else where .
Not really expressing much logic yourself there when this thread is clearly about the opposite. This is Huw Jenkins giving Rogers the two fingers as we really don't need to sell. So I'll concur Huw Jenkins - legend
I second that SA9 ! Huw Jenkins is just about to galvanise the troops by the looks of it ! Pay up or **** off! im suprised there wasnt a set of nice alloy wheels thrown into the first offer,would have been more useful than jonjo ..
... look, lets get one thing straight here. Liverpool= massive club Swansea= average size club How do you make a massive club better?? answer- buy players from an average club going by Brenden s astounding logic !! Think you'll find its us thats feeding you mate
Yeah, wish we could have a shrewd businessman like Tom Werner. How much of your £35m are you guys going to get back on Carroll? pffffff
Liverpool logic Buy Andy Carroll for £35 million sell him for £20 million the whole of football laughs at Liverpool Fc. Swansea City logic dictates that we will take your club for every penny or shall i say million we can get, so your club will be swelling our coffers by a minimum of £20 million this season, oh and you can have the girls in the superstore for £5 million each.
