Joe Allen

Swansea City are considering a bid for Liverpool's Wales midfielder Joe Allen.

"Joe is one of our own players and if at all possible we would probably make that signing," said Jenkins.

 

 

Pretty definitive here.

I was just reading about that, we could end up getting more than 15 million.

Stoke or Wales?

Can't see how. Weve accepted one bid. Either Swansea match that or they don't.

Yep agree. And there's no gaurantee swansea will even match the bid if they have a word in Allen's shell like and he only wants to return there.

[Frankenhooker]

It isn't my money, but personally if Swansea offered a bit less but Allen wanted to go there, I'd accept. He's been nothing but professional and seems a top bloke.

[Jairzinho]

Have we accepted the £13m from Stoke? Did they actually bid £13m?

 

Swansea sold him to us for £15m, surely they can fucking pay us £13m?

According to The Echo we accepted Stoke's bid.

Nothing stopping them from offering more. Even though the club accepted the bid from Stoke, at the end of the day it is down to the player himself if he wants to sign for them and what personal terms he is willing to accept or not. 

[Captain Turdseye]

Hurry up and fuck off already.

[Captain Turdseye]

That's aimed at Joe Allen, by the way. Pistonbroke's alright to stay.

Stoke or Wales?

 

You gotta be kidding me. Swansea is a fantastic place to live, while Stoke is...well, Stoke.

[scudger99]

Wasn't the film Twin Town set in Swansea ?  He'd take some time to train himself out of not looking at six fingered cunts in Stoke, he's better off going where there's more sheep.

[JermainePennant]

I accepted he was leaving months ago so I'm not that pissed about it, my prediction from months ago still stands.Allen will come back with his new team and will school our midfielders.

[TheHowieLama]

He doesn't have a team yet.

[Strontium]

Who on earth wants to spend their career pinging the ball around the pitch to Shaqiri, Afellay, Arnautovic and Bojan when they could sit on a bench and watch Jordan Henderson do a passing impression of a special needs child who won a competition?

[Babb'sBurstNad]

I like Allen, but it was depressing enough to see people complain about losing that level of player. Do we really have to pretend that playing with Stoke's midfield would be preferable too?

[Josef Svejk]

You gotta be kidding me. Swansea is a fantastic place to live, while Stoke is...well, Stoke.

 

In fairness, I've been to Swansea/Gower and liked it...

[cloggypop]

The first thing I saw in Swansea town centre was two women proper scrapping outside a pub. It was about one o'clock in the afternoon and Dr Troy would have loved the place.

[Josef Svejk]

 

... but uglier.

[J-V]

 

... but uglier.

 

and 10 stone heavier.

[redinthehead]

I think due our prolonged run of being shit, people have gotten 'not a liability' confused with actually being good.

 

 

Is Joe Allen, independent of his 'top blokeness' and fondness for chickens, a nailed on starter for a top 4 side? If not, he should be binned off, and be replaced with someone of that quality whilst we can still get a fee. End of.

[stringvest]

we don't have any midfielders yet

[Mathewbet1]

Please don't go Joe please don't go

[AngryOfTuebrook]

According to the BBC text "Swansea midfielder Joe Allen is safe to hold talks with Stoke as he closes in on a move from Liverpool."
