Harsh that, mate. Remember it's not a nice feeling when your best players get poached.

It's not.

But I mean in the sense that it's Swansea making this deal public. It's Swansea leaking everything to the press etc... Then trying to pin it on Everton, who don't actually operate in the public domain unless they can't avoid it (look at the Rom deal!).

It's just Swansea's owners - and their fans would back me up on this - who pump very little into the club trying to make themselves look better.

It happens.

I've got no issue with them driving a hard bargain. They have every right to.

But it's the arrogance of it that grates me. They went back on their agreements twice last year with Williams.
 

Can't wait for us to sign him for £50m and him to catch Everton Set Piece Disorder (ESPD) and hit the first man from every corner we ever get.

Arteta caught this after a while. Baines has it now. Barkley was born with the condition.

Basically Andy Hinchecliffe was the only person who had the immunisation jab at school but used all the vaccinations in the early 90's.

Tbh Hinchcliffe had a golden spell of corner taking, but even he was largely useless.
 
We're not guilty of it mate.

It's Swansea's owners trying to cover themselves. Empty threats.

Yeah that's what I thought. Making bids for players is hardly tapping up. Getting Adam Lallana to give you the phone numbers for the whole Southampton squad, and negotiating deals with them before even thinking of bidding, probably is tapping up.....

Last year they had Williams and Sigurdsson. We took Williams.
This year they have Mawson and Sigurdsson. We are taking Sigurdsson.

You will know better than me, do they have any other 'stars'? Llorente?

Is Mawson comparable to Keane?

I wonder what Swansea can do this season...
 

Tim Sherwood ( I know he's a numpty who basically said Keane could do better) talking this up today, says he'll be the best signing we'll of made so far this season as he's 1 of the top 3 dead ball specialists in the league.

@ijjysmith i think we need to track Hinchcliffe down and milk him for the immunisation!

We'll take Mawson next summer. Probably be £100 million by then like.
 
One thing he isn't is a kopite. Please don't call other blues that mate.

It's micket-taking, Groucho. I suspect he realises that, given the light-hearted exchanges we have indulged in in the past...

I've been accused of far worse, and you've done nothing about it in the past...
