The Gylfi thread.

... in which case there's no chance of a loan, surely.

eh? Why not? Swansea loaned him when he had even longer on his contract! I'd take a loan from beginning of season to January if necessary - just to get us some points and a safe-ish position!

That's the point, I figure he's less likely to go on loan - certainly a season-long loan anyway - now than he was then because, with less than 2 years on his contract his value (all being equal) will start to depreciate now. By next summer Hoffenheim's position will be considerably weaker - if they don't think he'll resign for them then they'll be looking to sell this summer or in January.

Loan him out for two years at £4m loan fee per year. No wages. Money back with a small profit.

Release /Sell him for sweet FA towards the end of his contract and they owe us 10% of nothing.

Swansea have had a bid rejected by Hoffenheim.

C'mon Anton....

Swansea have had a bid rejected by Hoffenheim.

Any idea on figures?

No, sorry.

Not even close to Hoffenheim's valuation. Swansea can't afford him, full stop

Babbel has said it was "unacceptable and far too low."

[biscuitman]

and expects him to return in the summer...

Probably around the £5m mark then, as that's a figure mentioned in the media. I can't imagine them starting any lower than that.

[Mike Hunt]

Well that is Swansea done then.

I am happy for him to go anywhere but Swansea.

[Royal Lady]

Saw this on twitter. Wales online reporting that babbel blasted the offer and said they believed hoffenheim were asking less than the £10 million that has been quoted and that gylfi had said he did not want to return to Germany.

.....if Anton wasn't already a hero for taking us back to the PL - think of how the press conference would go if he announced that the Prem had sanctioned the takeover and for starters, here's my present to RFC, Gylfi!!

The place would have no roof - and the team board would crash the servers!!

WE CAN DREAM, CAN'T WE??

(especially as Hoff value = £10m)

[loyalroyal4life]

According to papers Hoff are looking for £8.2m.


Come on Anton

[HoneyRoastHoax]

Swansea offered £4m!! http://www.walesonline.co.uk/footballna ... -30897619/ are you actually having a laugh!!

oxf*rd me,its easily double that, did they really think they would get him quick with an offer of £4m!

If thats what they're doing they won't get him.

[DOYLERSAROYALER]

..a key factor could also be the close relationship that BMc has with Gylfi's father ...they regularly meet and go fishing together...

..those things can help

[Maguire]

If we lose out on him then it surely won't be to Swansea.

Gylfi, come home.

[blueroyals]

LOL at Swansea's offer. Has he really decreased in value since proving himself in the premier league almost averaging a goal/assist per game?

[TBM]

No fanks - he was the passed, we shud be looking to the fewcher
