Note the irony that Rogers whinges about agreeing a fee, then later in the article Neil Taylor's fitness is mentioned, remember what happened there - a get out clause of £1m then the Jacks turned around and said 'but thats only to SPEAK to him'.

Not so nice when the boot is on the other foot.

The boy has gone to a much bigger club and his club have got more money. Win-win.

outbid by a club with absolutely no money... lol

He'll keep the bench nice and warm.

There's no point in you lot buying a striker-you need to create chances for a start.

Can't argue with that

I've only watched your games v man citeh and villa. You were never going to get anything from the Etihad Stadium and the Villa game was overshadowed by the death of Speedo. I have seen highlights of a few others.

As a jack fan would you agree with my thoughts. Defensively you look pretty solid-Vorm is one of the keepers in Europe and illiams is a very good player. In midfield you keep the ball well but don't get the ball into the final third. Offensively you look poor and seem more content to keep the ball rather than try and break a team down. I predict a bottom 4/5 finish unless you start attacking-is this a far summary?

I realise being an outsider it has little to do with me but how come there are so many swansea fans here?

We used to get the same off our little brothers at County but once they were ignored they went off to annoy mansfield.

Some of their posters are fine-majority are cocks with a chip on their shoulder.

That'll teach me to take any notice of the Sun.

I'm surprised given the quote from Rogers that he's gone in with a higher offer. He seemed a little 'peeved' to start off with. Its the way of the world and I see he hasn't quite signed yet, so hope you aren't having a bit of 'premature-Jack-elation' over him .

Backup at Everton, with higher wages at a club who blood youngsters like Rooney, Rodwell with quality training facilities or backup Danny Graham in a team who don't create chances.

Tough choice that.

If the Jacks have improved thier offer it can only mean one thing in my opinion. Huw the spew has had another handout off the council.

Allegedly? I think if Brendan has confirmed that terms are agreed then it's slightly more than allegedly

Medical is tomorrow.

Happy New Year to you

Yes we are so jealous that you have gone and signed a player from the Irish league. 150k?? surprised you even bid that much

None league player, he is not even that. £150K see you are spending ot stay in the premeirship . To me it looks like you are preparing for life back in the championship.

Not being funny mate, but the Jacks know bargains when they see one. Sinclair for example, hate to say it but those bastards are very clever with their money.

To me it looks like we're investing a small amount of money in a rough diamond that several Premier League clubs were after who as Brendan had stated, is going to be a development player. The signings to help us stay in the Premier League will come soon enough don't worry yourself.

Oh by the way, if Everton had signed him would you say they were preparing for life in the Championship? No, thought not.
