Brilliant piece of business by the swans to get 12 million for that buffoon !!!!

Average player at best with a dodgy attitude ...over inflated price because he is English

Agree! Probably one of the highest earners and probably has clause in contract that he will remain on premier wages if the inbreds are relegated. Got to give some credit to those running the caravan park! :bluescarf:

Think he's an OK player at that level, but £12m is a hugely inflated price.

Never forget when he made him look an idiot after we beat them 1-0 in the Premier League and he did the "swim away" action to us. Even Jacks slated him for that.

you have to give them begrudging respect, buy him for 5 million then sell for 12 :laughing6: :laughing6:

Doesn't fit their style and is a trouble maker.Cork is a much better footballer.

Jenkins needs to gamble on a striker now and they may be OK, hopefully he is too tight fisted and they rely on Gomis and their 5 million quid Portuguese Cornelius and join us in the championship next year.

Swansea agree a £12 million fee for Jonjo with Newcastle

According to Amy Lewis of Sky Sports, they have.

Think how much money they've made over those past 3 seasons mate. They will be fine come summer.

Time for him to 'swim away' with his own tail between his legs! :thumbup: :laughing6:

He seems yet another player 'screwed up' by an England call-up! ;)

£12m is the headline figure, but the reality is that i doubt they will even get half the money to spend now. in addition, i would have thought a significant part would be dependant on newcastle staying up, which is far from guaranteed.

curtis seems to have decided he can go, and they have received top money for a player they deemed disposable. thats good business in my books. i think swansea will go down though.

They have spent it on wages and players ! done them lot good so it seems?

Must say, thats a huge fee for the lad. England international though so no surprise the fee is inflated.

Would be surprised if that's true. Taken huge transfer fees in recent season, have a small wage bill, sell out every game. 12m for a poor player in my book, not bad.

Okay comparatively to their premier league rivals that is peanuts.

Wales Online and the Mail Online are saying that Liverpool put a 30% sell-on clause into the Shelvey deal when he moved to the Swans.

That means £3.6m out of a £12m fee going to Anfield.

Other sides at the bottom strengthening - and the Swans shipping out one of their more effective (if infantile) players. Heading for the trap door?
