| Swansea Indepenent Poster Of The Year 2021. Dr P / Mart66 / Roathie / Parlay / E20/ Duffle was 2nd, but he is deluded and thinks in his little twisted brain that he won. Poor sod. We let him win this year, as he has cried for a whole year. His 14 usernames, bless his cotton socks.

| Have we wasted £9 million? on 11:55 - Sep 3 with 3522 views | RichardO | We pay a sum of money for a winger with pace and good body strength but he has had injury issues to hamper his development used last season in cameo roles trying too hard to impress, it took Eom two seasons to get to the standard he is at the moment helped by new players around him. Going out on loan provided he gets game time hopefully will hone his skills. Walta has a higher skill level but more experience game time would be of benefit to him. Wasted money now which could pay dividends in the future? |  | |  |

| Have we wasted £9 million? on 12:08 - Sep 3 with 3458 views | Whiterockin | Walta is on loan with an option to buy so we may cover our £3M? outlay there. Some don't realise that although the loan is season long its only until January (the USA season) and we will still have an option to sell in the window. I don't expect him to play for us again. Inoussa, who knows if he has a future but we have an awful lot of wide players now. I'm pretty sure we have currently paid less than £1M for Inoussa although we are committed to more, if we are able to offload him we can cover a lot of our costs. |  | |  |

It says in a lot of places that we paid €6 million for Inoussa. Hope I am wrong. |  |

We have but over the 5 year contract, its probably double what I said because the 2nd payment would have been paid by now. |  | |  |
| Have we wasted £9 million? on 12:29 - Sep 3 with 3332 views | GVJack | We won't really know until their futures are fully resolved. Both may come back into the squad and be with us for the next 7+ years. Both may sell for less than £3mill. Either way we'll recover some of the investment but unlikely all IMO. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads
| Have we wasted £9 million? on 13:06 - Sep 3 with 3228 views | RichardO | All we can say this year instead of filling holes as we have been doing for a number of seasons we have been building on top of a squad who had it's moments last season and done it early so we could start with a positivity. |  | |  |
| Have we wasted £9 million? on 13:13 - Sep 3 with 3191 views | PawelAbbott | They are both good players just not physically cut out for this division We should recoup most of the money on them.

| Have we wasted £9 million? on 13:26 - Sep 3 with 3140 views | raynor94 | We are paying for Walta over the length of his contract so he's off the wage bill for now and I can't see him pulling our shirt on again as for Inoussa I really don't think we paid over 5 million for him and can see him gone in January |  |

There is a different recruitment team in place now and appear to be more professional. |  | |  |
| Have we wasted £9 million? on 14:07 - Sep 3 with 3036 views | dobjack2 | I wonder if there is more to come out about the background to some of our signings made by previous recruitment teams. |  | |  |

Walta will probably not play much under Matos. We all like to see mangers to stay for years but they never do. If Matos bombs he is sacked .. If he carries on like this he will be poached at the end of this season unless Swansea are promoted which is a big IF. Walta is back in the squad when Matos walks away. Sousa did not fancy Leon Britton another skillful short player. He also sent him out on loan. Walta is a goal scoring midfielder. Innousa has had injury issues and might still come good. Changing possition to wingback of full back is n option. perhaps. |  |

The decision on Walta's future is currently out of Swansea hands as the loan has a buy option. |  | |  |

Surely that buy option has to be at a price that is acceptable to the Club or has that been set and agreed? |  | |  |

Normally set and agreed and part of the loan agreement. Otherwise the loaning club could develop and increase the value of the player to their own detriment. |  | |  |
| Have we wasted £9 million? on 15:05 - Sep 3 with 2892 views | JACKMANANDBOY | I've posted this before but in premier league football a transfer in success rate, measured in games played, of 50 percent is excellent. |  |

| Have we wasted £9 million? on 15:23 - Sep 3 with 2842 views | KeithHaynes | Around 3M as it stands. And the option to buy on Walta will clear up anything owed. Inoussa maybe the down payment, but as everyone knows the window in certain countries remains open for a loan. Believe it or not some clubs in the Championship signed players in the last week with a first payment in two years time.

Every player purchase is somewhat a gamble , takes time to settle , used to new manager training regimes etc , with the players mentioned , it’s not as though they were unknown quantities . |  |

Yes and 29% is normal in the EFL. |  |

Ever contract is different. Without seeing the fine print it is conceivable Walta could return whether he or LA wanted him to or not. Admittedly it is most likely that if he hits certain targets Games /goals etc the deal will be automatically done. One hamstring and that is down the tubes. Anything can happen. I would not put money on Matos staying for the duration of his contract. Martinez Brendan Sousa all bailed out. |  |

It's interesting that clubs are signing players that on balance will fail. We seem to be doing pretty well at the present. |  |
