Club Quash Trundle Rumours

Another week, another session of Trundle rumours. This time, Hull City are the club linked to Swansea's leading scorer for the past two seasons. Reports in the Hull press this week suggested that they were ready to make a move for Trundle following their promotion into the championship.

Trundle declared himself flattered with the speculation saying "Hull is a massive club and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't flattered to have my name linked with them. Peter Taylor is a great manager and they're obviously a club going places. "They are similar to Swansea in that they've been in the doldrums for so many years, but have now started to come good. At the moment I've heard nothing, but will just have to wait and see what happens."

However, in tonight's Evening Post, chairman Huw Jenkins will dismiss the rumuors as just that and re-iterate the point that Trundle is under contract to Swansea City and will be going nowhere. This is not the first time that we have read words to that effect and yet just as you read them you know that the next Trundle rumour is just around the corner - the unknown quantity being nobody knows who will be the club concerned in that rumour.

The club have always maintained that their leading light is going nowhere but you always have that doubt in your mind that does there come a time with any player when the price is right for the club to sell? As with most of these rumours there does not seem to be much substance with the Hull one and nobody from either club has commented that an official approach has been made. And somehow, I cannot see Trundle meeting a chief executive from Hull in a London hotel can you?

The speculation has bought much comment this week from the Swans fans with some believing that Trundle could be sold if the price was right and others saying that his worth to the club is more than any transfer fee speculated on could ever cover. My personal view is that every player always has a price and if that price means the club gets stronger as a result of a sale then so be it. No player would ever be bigger than the club no matter how much I would want us to hold onto Trundle.

Meanwhile, rumours are surfacing in Southend that they are to make a move for Swansea target Grant Holt from Rochdale.
