I've heard this today as well. 'Apparently' Power hasn't taken kindly to him saying that staying at Swindon would be a worse case scenario.
It could just be a rumour doing the rounds, but based on Power's previous with Branco and also the Adver there could well be some truth in it. Maybe Power thinks our midfield did ok without him?
Everything I've read of Luongo's public statements since his return from Aus I've thought were absolutely what a chairman and fans would want to hear.
While words along the lines of "at the worst" may have been used it was followed by I'll still be at Swindon playing somewhere I really enjoy my football, where I'm developing and with all my mates and that he's perfectly happy.
He's made it clear he's not going to be agitating for a move, but that if a big chance comes along that's great. Power has said pretty much the same thing. He's clearly not primarily motivated by money or he's be coining it in a desert somewhere.
Christ if fans can get their knickers in a twist over a player that has done absolutely bloody everything the right way there's no bastard hope for us and the fellah ought to just grab the first chance he gets to better himself because we might not deserve him.
