Yep. No point yet.
We are looking like an absolute bloody shambles.
Is officially tabling a bid so much work for both sides that it's really only done once a fee is thought to be agreed upon?
If we know he wants to come and Everton have to sell there is no point making a bid that a) may be higher than might be accepted in the last week b) seems low now and pisses Everton off.
Why is that? Genuine question.
Great to hear from you!NOT FOR RO but as of last night we have not tabled a bid for Barkley
Great to hear from you!
If there's speculation that there's a bid for Barkley, what with the accompanying guessing at a fee in the media, it'll likely strengthen Swansea's position knowing there's a great wad of cash about to arrive at Goodison Park.
So, you get Koeman with a U-turn about Barkley possibly staying and all this 'no bid' stuff.
voila!

1) He is injured 2) we would have to pay an additional 2 weeks wages - not kidding, this is a factor in our late window buys.Why is that? Genuine question.

Well, not having tabled a bid for Barkley isn't overly encouraging...
If we are hoping to get him shouldn't we at least get the inevitable derisive opening offer out of the way so we can spend the rest of the window haggling?
From memory i dont think any ITK has mentioned that we have tabled a bid for anyone, instead what i think might be happening is levy and co are monitoring situations.Have we actually tabled an offer for anybody this summer? Shambles
