Iron miss out on signing Davide Rodari from Hastings Town.
Our offer not accepted, so Crawley nip in and sign him from under our noses.
Looks like Swann has learned from the Wharton “offer 50p and half a bag of toffees from the chairman’s pocket” type of negotiating. And judging from Swann’s figure, the toffees would be more like one or two left☺️
What next?
” We tried but the lad didn’t want to come”???
Get a grip, Swann.
Did you miss Crawley selling Max Watters for about £1m? Geography could also have been a factor for the player. Don’t think it’s fair to blame him this time but don’t let that stop you.
The way it’s read suggests he rejected us, which is fair enough considering he is based a stones throw away from Crawley
There’s plenty wrong at the moment but this A flimsy stick to beat Swann with.
The Hastings chairman said on Twitter
“ Both bidding clubs met my valuation”
He chose them, no biggie. We will only know in a few years if he’s one that got away.
Probably best we didn’t get him, imagine what alcazar post would have read “Swanny signs tier 8 forward tut tut” and many others for that matter, glad to seeing young Swann looking everywhere.
Good time to be purchasing a rough diamond or two. And no I don’t mean Turan/Jarvis standard. Especially with our scouting network.
NL leagues clubs will be possibly looking to offload the decent ones.
Given Swann’s statements about the challenges of balancing the books this season, do you really think that chucking more money at the problem is really a solution? There’s also the issue of the salary cap too….
So Will Chris Porter be free gratis then?
