Do we have any interest in Piroe Ed's? . I assume Gyokeres is now Sporting bound? .

{Ed002's Note - Joel Piroe (S) Leicester City have been discussing the player with Swansea for a couple of months but Swansea deferred discussions until after the play offs. Leicester have made a verbal offer to test the waters but right now I think that is it. Salernitana, who will see him as an alternative to Boulaye Dia, have asked for discussions. There may well have been general enquiries from other sides but nothing I can confirm.}

Take this as you want but, I’m an Everton fan living in Swansea. My freinds, who are Swansea fans reckon they were speaking with Ellis Sims today in Swansea. They said he’s signing for them but again, I was not there so cannot comment either way. Just putting out there what I’ve been told. Could be a make weight in the Pirroe deal ?‍♂️.

Can’t see Swansea matching out valuation if we’ve already turned down a £4m bid.

The most they’ve paid for a player over the last 5 seasons was £3.4m and that was 5 seasons ago. Most recently £2m highest price they’ve paid for a player.

Only way I see him going to Swansea is if it is in a deal with one of their players joining us and Ed002 has mentioned on several occasions those deals are very unusual.

Not swap deals maybe, but does allow for negotiation on transfer fees paid.

Always worry about deals we make with Swansea - they seem to come out on top and overcharge.

We paid way too much for both Ashley Williams and gylfi from them - hopefully Thelwell is a decent negotiator.

A swap deal might be complex but there are other ways to work around it?

You can have simms for 2mil but you need to accept an offer from us of “x” amount for another one of your players?

I guess a bit like the lukaku plus £80mil and Rooney swap? There wasn’t actually a swap involved but everything was agreed beforehand, to send a player in each direction?
