Not a bad question, from our point of view I think (hope) that Laudrup has done his Summer transfers already, reading between the lines it seems that way to me?

As for Cardiff being richer, I can't see the board down here breaking the wage structure so if it came down to purely wages you could probably outbid us, the board here were fans when we went down the shit or bust route in the early 80's so I doubt they would let that happen again.

So, in our corner, you've got European football, and don't underestimate the draw of playing for Laudrup. In yours, you've got the money and the challenge of staying up in that first season. Would be interesting if it came to pass.


Yes, sensible argument. I would disagree regarding your point on European football, I just don't think the Europa Cup is a draw for players, especially not British ones, as the competition is treated with disdain by British clubs. If I was a player, I would prefer to choose a club that have more stability in that league, which would be yourselves. However, the over riding factor, would be money, especially if it was a significant amount. I believe that the owner will back the manager with a sensible budget in order to get the players he wants, I do not see us getting outbid by Swansea or in that sense quite a number of more established Premier league clubs.

Upper hand? Who knows. Depends on the player. We can offer more money - you can offer Europe (although Europa league isn't a big pull in my mind)

Perfectly summed up in my opinion scotsjack and I'm sure both managers will have targets and club directors will be giving both a budget that MUST be adhered to. Next season the Financial Fair Play rules apply and as spending will be directly aligned to income Swansea are the richer club, the Europa League will take care of that.

I'm sure MM has done his homework and has his targets which will be based on the challenge that lies ahead for us, ML will have the same but the challenge is bigger for Swansea and because of the Europa League would, in my opinion, make Swansea a more attractive proposition than Cardiff.

As I see it Swansea have done well since thier promotion and unlike many clubs who are promoted via the playoffs are still on an upward curve in terms of improvement and development. We are on a steeper curve and for us next season will be about consolidation, not just avoiding relegation, but much like the Swans did last season be competitive.

If we can do that it will give us the opportunity to mirror what Swansea have done and that is move on from consolidation to establishing ourselves as a Premier League club.

And did answear your post but judging by the fact you aint read the other posts I aint surprised.
Ps barry as you are the one who allways looks for my posts to reply to and allways has the dirty little digs ? Are u going to put a poll up on who wants me banned

Re: so then

Thu Apr 18, 2013 10:02 am

Think we might possibly offer more wages, but the lure of European football and the fact swansea have done well in their two PL seasons is a big plus for them. Although if they are Scottish I think they'll come to us :lol:

Nov I post on here and when I see your inane ramblings I normally laugh.

Still, you claimed that nobody answered your question, when I did in the first post. Wrong again. :thumbup:

Dirty little digs? Yes - because it makes me laugh. You're a grown man on here arranging to meet people to "sort it out" and sending threatening PMs to other users. It's f*cking pathetic man. Grow up! :lol:

Re: so then

Thu Apr 18, 2013 10:04 am

Depends on the player I gess.
To be honest I cant see us going for the same players.
Cant see a on the floor footballer who likes the and thrives in the passing game picking cardiff over us? They aint going to offer that much more then us because of the debt problems they have.
We are 2 totaly diffrent teams in the way we play.
Ie leon britton who is outstanding for us but went to shefff utd and was a total failure.

i think our biggest pull is that we have established ourselves in the prem (sort of) and micheal laudrup , also the way players are gaining recognition such as vorm , michu ,chico , taylor , davies , de guzman and williams also the way caulkers career came on leaps and bounds while on loan
players will see our club as a chance to get that move to the "big boys" and the massive pay day , look at joe allen and sinclair for example then again if they're just chasing the money i would rather you have them anyway

Lets be fair though, which footballers aren't chasing money? :lol:

I've already covered the debt issue. We have debt at the minute, yes. That will soon be converted to equity & we will then be debt free. (Having done it properly :old: )

I cant see us being interested in any Player that Swansea are after, as I would imagine we would be setting our sights higher.

Only an opinion, but if a player had the choice between us and them, at the moment it would be probably them.(as we are new on the big stage).

BUT

Swansea have had their seasons in the sun, now its the turn off the only real Welsh club. The publicity so far as been immense, all positive.

As for next season,I would imagine it would take us a little while to settle,so not expecting much, just to stay up.

But then after that the skies the limit, then every player would definitely choose us.

Even now all travelling fans if they are playing Swansea, and they are staying overnight stay in Cardiff.

such a loose idiotic question with so many variations why would you bring it up

there are many reasons why a player may pick cardiff over swansea or vice versa (that means the other way round) that you cant control it.

if both clubs go for the same player its down to the player and nobody else

Re: so then

Thu Apr 18, 2013 10:22 am

In fairness, Vorm & Michu were unknown quantities coming into the premiership. They weren't massive names at the time, though their subsequent success at Swansea has made them big names.
