Gailbraith

Post by moonwalk19 »

Rumours are circulating that Swansea have made a bid for Gailbraih for around 750 k that has been turned down but Swansea could come back with an increased bid. Let’s hope he stays with 2 hours still to go

We have another 12 month option so it's 18 months left to run effectively.

Legend....where do you get your information, the Daily Star?
He's not having a medical as Swansea have just signed Lewis O'brien & not Gailbraith

We haven't really made any serious fees since Odubajo (£1 million which reportedly the club never saw thanks to Hearn / Bechetti)

Koroma £500k
Bonne £200k (ish)
Kyprianou £300k
Sotiriou £400k (apparently)

From memory that's the significant ones since 2017

The Swans forum are saying this evening that they are still going for him but we are not happy with the payments. Also it's not leaving us time to get a replacement. They are very unhappy that we have only just got Abdulai from them for a nominal fee

This is a ruthless approach from Orient that I'm fully here for, it's been a long time coming for the club to be more ruthless in the market.

The Abdulai deal would have been completed in isolation. If they wanted to tag that in with Ethan, they should have said so at the time.

Agreed, that is why the Swans fans are unhappy

Sorry, misunderstood - thought by ‘they’ you meant the club, now see you meant their fans. Yeah, they should be.

Although not going to lie, I know it’s only been a couple of games but I’m not sure which player I’d rather have …..

Some articles from back in the day had it as 1.5 million with appearance add-ons, not sure if he ever made enough to trigger them though as he was sold fairly quick from what I recall

Based on Ling's interview on YouTube it looks that way
