Loan Watch Joe Rodon -Leeds United

[tiger666]

Welsh media saying we're pushing for CCV to be included in the deal

Assume this is what the hold up was about, getting CCV involved in the deal.

Don't assume.

 

[Living Legend Colm G]

Don't assume.

To assume makes an ass of u and me.

Ben talking nicely about him

Or, my preferred variation of that:

Perhaps the bit in bold is holding the deal up...

West Ham want to sign Bournemouth's Joshua King – but not for £17.5m

West Ham’s hopes of signing Joshua King depend on Bournemouth lowering their £17.5m asking price for the striker

www.theguardian.com

West Ham are also keen to strengthen in defence and have an interest in the Swansea defender Joe Rodon. However Tottenham are favourites to sign the Wales defender and are expected to ramp up their attempts to complete a deal for him in the coming days. Swansea are likely to demand £18m for the centre-back, who came through their academy, and could ask Spurs to loan him back to them for the rest of the season.

Wouldn't be the worse plan anyways, gives us sometime to shift toby on and ensures Joe wouldn't stagnate due lack of minutes.

I'm still cynically believing there's a medical issue, though usually we hear about deals being agreed and the medical being set up.

He seems to be surprisingly quick for such a big lad.

I really don’t understand why we’ve gone from pursuing one of the best defenders in Serie A to basically anyone that’s still available.

to be fair, you don't really need to understand. I'm guessing you're not privy to the sensitive internal/external workings of the club, up to date circumstances of all transfers and the different targets we are looking at. With the club having such an awesome transfer window, I'm going to trust that they are doing everything above correctly.

Transfer window has closed for everyone else that was good

Think inter are pissed off at us for Eriksen and think someone said they wanted Reguilon but chose us over them. So don't think they were too happy to lower the fee we wanted to pay

How dare you. This is literally what we never do. It is against our philosophy and moral code.

Do we hope he does brilliantly against England even though this might push up the price and attract other bids?

Have always thought that would make a lot of sense. I don’t think it’s absolutely critical we get him in this season if that’s another way to reduce price and guaranty him more minutes. Maybe a clause where we could recall in January window if critical?

A solid 6 or 7/10 performance without an individual error would do right now.

Surely they are upset because we did not tell them Eriksen had been poor for the last 12 months.

 

[George94]

This will go down to the wire - depends how much Swansea need the money, cause I highly doubt we'll pay anything over £10m for him.

 

[Trix]

I'll say it again it's not a financial issue.

I have been asked not to pass on the reason this is being held up. Anyone who has followed my info over the last 5-6 years will know this is a bit of a first, as I'm usually very open and to the point.

If it hits the media I will however confirm it.

 

[Led Revolver]

‘Held up’ sounds like it is still likely to happen. Hope so!
