Fry ‘ We are not paying that for a goalkeeper ‘ Russell Martin takes over transfer negotiations 26th May 2022 09:00
Swansea City manager Russell Martin seems extremely keen to get the players he wants in to the club this summer by any means necessary. The first obstacle is cash, but already Swansea City have been in dialogue with Peterborough United regards goalkeeper Steven Benda. 0

I think it is already on record that the club is looking for another keeper ?
I assume this is as well as Fisher.
As he is still our player for the foreseeable ( whatever his faults ), give the Fisher bashing a rest eh ?
After all he didn't force the club to sign him.
Maybe your anger should be directed to RM ?

Odd that we've priced someone out of a move.

If you listen to some we'll be selling all our players for a fiver and a couple of bottletops each.

Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

If we rate him that highly financially you would have thought a player in that bracket would be an excellent keeper for us.

Hopefully not, but unfair for Fisher to get all the mud slung at him.
His performances may have been disappointing, but as I said not his fault he signed for us.

It’s natural though isn’t it. Of course, Martin is to blame here but Fisher is always going to get criticised because he is a poor goalkeeper at this level.

As for signing another keeper, we will need to if Benda goes but I think I know enough of Martin the man to say he’ll be a back up and not replacing his marquee signing.

So who was the player Swansea are interested in? Presumably a young up and coming prospect PUFC do not want to let go.

Quite. How we can rate our third choice goalkeeper around three times higher than what we paid for our first choice goalkeeper is a bit bizarre.

It's a balance though. We have definitely in the past undersold players.

So in a way I am pleasantly surprised by this development, but I'm still a bit bemused that we'd expect a league 1 club just relegated to buy a player we very obviously do not want for around a million.

But it's early in the window and hopefully we haven't scared Peterborough off by holding out for too much.

We have in the past undersold players. Just not under current ownership.

Jenkins was the worst culprit. Left to his own devices he would have sold Sigurdsson for £30m tops. Instead we held out for £45m. OK, we then spunked that £45m up against a wall, but the point stands.

A lot of the criticism seems to stem from both the Dan James/Leeds situation, and to this day I'm not entirely sure why people are rushing to believe the "Huw Jenkins put his foot down" story, and the club selling Rodon for his actual market value rather than the fantastical £25m that some oddly seem to believe that he was worth.

Otherwise we've got top value for most who have departed under their watch. Considerably in excess of in some cases if McBurnie's subsequent travails are any indication.

£1.5mill for Lowe (scorer of 14 goals in the championship the previous season), under contract and to one the divisions most prosperous clubs was certainly an under sell.

Rodon was too. And people look on Rodon as not being worth more than what we sold him for because he's barely played for spurs but then disregard the relatively low amount for C Roberts despite his performances for Burnley this season. Out of contract I know, but the point stands.

Good question there buddy.

I reckon it is probably this guy. A developing 19 year old centre back Ronnie Edwards,

(Ronnie Edwards has been something of a breakthrough figure for Peterborough in the past year or so with some eye-catching defensive performances, that have seen him linked with some of the top Premier League teams. )

They're talking about fees far in excess for Benda+Ogbeta for Edwards. They'd have laughed their heads off if our offer was for him.
