Rodon 07:43 - Sep 30 with 3772 viewspencoedjack

What’s the situation with his contract?

The boy is class,needs to be given a long term contract.

Would be a massive kick in the b ollocks if he left on a free.

Same goes for Connor.

This is how I see it going.

Sign them up to a bumper contract for 5 years a week before the January window then sell them for a lovely fee.

If it wasn’t going into the Yanks pocket I’d rather that than see them leave on a free

Unbelievable.

Millions on the line here, ffs ....

Rodon knows he is talented. His family know he is talented, and they've (according to them) had firm interest before.

Perhaps Joe is being advised not to risk being stuck here for another 5 years just for an extra few thousand a week when he could get much higher wages and even millions in a signing on fee if he leaves on a free.

The blame lies firmly with whoever was handling contract extensions 12-18 months ago and didn't extend it then.

The situation according to Potter a week or two ago was that the club had started negotiating with both of them.

Fans or not they'll be wanting big pay rises. Signed their current deals when they were relative nobodies.

Has less than 12months I believe?

It is an interesting one, some plonkers on here think him coming into the team was always the plan, the kid is highly rated within the club.

Begs the question, why wasnt his contract sorted sooner if this was the case?
We need him to sign a contract soon or this could be filed with a lot of major mess ups by the club in recent years.

This is not a knock at the club, it is reality.

There's always two sides to a contract negotiation, and if the rumours are true the Rodon clan have been weighing up Joe's options elsewhere for a while (since it never looked like he'd get a chance to move forward with us in the PL, if nothing else).

Last January Eddie Howe was sending a minibus for them, supposedly.

So it was always the plan to play him this season with less than 12 months on his contract at 20yrs of age and the world expoursure of championship football ?

But we as a club and DOF think this is a sound way to protect our assets ?great stuff.

It pretty clearly wasn't always the plan. The decision to sell Fede and Amat was only made on deadline day, but since it was an possibility we'd sounded out Spurs over Carter-Vickers weeks earlier.

That one of the two quality u23s defenders Potter took on preseason might have to step in for a couple of games in the interim was an acceptable risk, and as it happened an inspired one. He wasn't much of an asset following his mediocre spell at Cheltnham last season. Now the same people who said we only had one centre half at the club are saying it will be criminal to lose him on a free.

Typical of the poor planning at senior level. The transfer window was more panic than clear plan and obvious management of contact renewals neglected. It’s fantastic Potter has managed to get so many players to step up. Let’s hope the Board pull their fingers out and reward these youngsters with decent contracts.

Exactly right, it wasn't always the plan.

Potter said as much in his presser yesterday,

Talk about twisting words by the way, I don't think anyone on planet swans said we only had one centre half at the club, we only had one senior centre half, much different.

So how do you know the decision to sell fede was made on deadline day ? He was obviously stripped of the captaincy in readiness for his move, seems a bit odd to suggest otherwise, pretty much sounds like nonsense .

Mr zero credibility.

Nothing you say is ever correct, potter yesterday admitted he had no squad and the introduction and good fortune of the young players means he know has a squad, so not some wonderful master plan but the board leaving him with no option as 90 % of swans fans clearly think .

I wouldn't call you an idiot, that's being far too kind, next thing you'll be saying siggy is a one trick pony who's not very good or Sam clucas is a fantastic player or Clement will have us playing like Barcelona ..oh, wait a minute..

You'll find plenty of people saying that word for word if you go back (including one thread title), whatever they pretend they said/meant to say now.

The decision was made on deadline day according to the owners and Potter. He obviously wanted to go but he wouldn't have played against Sheffield if it was a done deal as Newcastle were way off our asking price. But even if it was selling Amat as well was the big gamble (imagine wanting him over Joe now!).

Was it not clear that if an acceptable bid came in for any player on decent wages we were going to let them go?

For that reason alone we should have tied down any promising U23s to longer contracts in preparation for them being 1st/2nd/3rd choice. Even if we extended all contracts we could by a year it would give us breathing room. As it stands now we are a bit behind the 8 ball on the negotiation front.

We will never know how a player like amat would worknout in the championship, he couldve been superb so..

Ahh I see, they had no intention of selling him but they took the captain's armband off him, righio .

So we knew we were selling the family silver and yet never even bothered to make sure that our replacements from within were tied to contracts, sounds like us.

Like I said earlier, we give expoursure to young talent obviously by default but don't even tie them down to contracts, so if one or two do well their off for pennies to another club.

It's not surprising though, this is exactly how we've been run for the last 6 yrs.
Yet people think Huw Jenkins has planned all this for some weird reason, he planned it all but forgot to make sure they were tied down to contracts, thats just wonderful.

Which of our promising u23s wanted to be tied down just to give us breathing room? Byers and McBurnie needed convincing to stay, Rodon links to City, Bournemouth etc. When players hit their 20s they want gametime to sign new deals, but when they get it suddenly the club is running behind?

There was a very real chance no acceptable bid would come in for both Fede and Amat (even at the low threshold that turned out to be) and Joe would have been stuck for another two seasons, back out on short loans to the lumpy cow fields of League Two.

Roberts should have been sorted out start of last season and not sent on loan to Boro. The club's made mistake after mistake with him tbf, we're lucky he's such a big fan.

Well surely the logic of convincing Byers, a player who plays in a position we were never going to be short in, should have been applied to Rodon.

Why one and not the other?

So players in their 20's want game time, how is Rodon getting that at man city or Bournemouth?

If you were to say money I'd understand.

You were saying using these players was part of a master plan the other day, wish you'd make your mind up, if they were our plan why wernt they signed up on contracts ?

If they were an after thought because fede was sold at the last moment(even though he wasn't made captain because everyone knew he was leaving) then why not be pro active and secure the existing assets ?

Nothing makes sense apart from the same levels of incompetence seen at the club for years under Huw, and continued at an accelerated pace with the yanks.

The answer to all The above? Money no doubt.

"Ahh I see, they had no intention of selling him but they took the captain's armband off him, righio ."

Here's where your reading comprehension falls apart. There's a big difference between "no intention of selling him" (a clearly false statement) and "they didn't know for sure that he was going to leave" (which was the case right up until deadline day when the clubs came to terms).

Tying Rodon down to another contract was hardly a no-brainer when 1) we didn't know he'd get games until deadline day, 2) we didn't know he'd settle in well until he played (was no great shakes at Cheltenham), 3) we didn't know he'd be the player stepping up and not Cian until Potter made the call and 4) Carter-Vickers could have taken his place and he might get only a game or two more this whole season.

It's not like he's on an open contract. We've got him this season, and will get a new deal in the next month or so. We're not rich enough to be chucking 4 or 5 year deals at kids who might not even contribute (Maric got a 3 year deal and look how he's getting on now... at least his agent's happy).
