welsh bastards!

We'll take £400k though! :shock:

Get fucked Swansea, we're as good as down without him.

Swansea can fuck off! :fu:

for £400,000 i'd drive him there myself!

What a load of shite :-))( ,400 k,he's been great for us this season but he ain't worth that not in the current market anyway.But then if fat fucking Trundle can go to Everton for a million then i guess  anything is possible.

And we wouldnt see a penny of that £400k!.

He better not go to swansea  :shock:

with the final CVA payment coming up soon it'd certainly make things much easier on the club.

Hopefully Gurns will tell him they are a bunch of cunts and he'll tell them to get fucked.

And if he goes, were down and then that CVA payment wont fucking matter cos we wont have a club no more.  :evil:

no chance....

good point.

£400k for fallon is a rip-off though!

i just worry that his purple patch may end as soon as he signs a new contract.ok from what i hear he is playing well but when he is bad he is fuckin awful.its all rumours anyway but if it was 400k i would bite their hand off

Straight swap for Gurney knowing Town

Not 400k but a lot of money and it doesnt appear as though Fallon is first option.

I cant see our board refusing if they bid anything more than 200k.

I might be optimistic but i really think the board will hold out on Fallon and only accept a bid if it's too good to refuse bid (eg) £400,000+! It's all depending on whether they want to sell Fallon and there for pretty much accept relegation or try and fight for league 1 status and keep our top goal scorer!

But, would Fallon do the shit on us now. He's got to save us.

Fallon should sign a new contract with a Relegation Cause.

fuck off swansea. Even their fans were saying he's shit.

Me and Janaage were discussing this subject in the Winners on NYE.

The general consensus was thanks for the goals but fuck off  :D

We'd be mad not to accept £250k-300k for Fallon I think. 4-500% profit. Give Iffy £50k of that and that should be enough to sign someone just as good, that's all Parkin and Fallon cost.

I agree, although it'll be interesting to see if Iffy is as shrewd in the transfer market as King.....

It seems that Jon Parkin is being sold on the cheap by Macclesfield, though bids have come in for him already from Chester and Lincoln. But if Fallon was sold i'd imagine we'd be able to afford him (well!), though it would be a risk.

Sign Mikolanda! He's ace on FM.

it wouldn't be 400k for fallon, there chairman says it would be 250-300k for rory but most likely 250k

Says it all really. :?

Looks like we've rejected an offer.  For me, if we were offered £300k, then i would probably accept it.  At least we have Cureton who can do the business.  The team wil just have to adapt to his kind of play

one man does not make a team.

adapting our style of play for a player whose commitment to swindon town fc is doubtful is beyond the realms of logic, to be fair. it'd be daft to do it.

We are playing in a way that, whilst sometimes not pretty, demonstrates a certain commitment.

My only concern if we try to change the way we play in order to satisfy one player, we can possibly stunt the effectiveness of three or four.

Lets try and get that one player to play the way the remaining 10 can and have been (if thats possible).

If thats not possible then lets unload him whilst we can

why do we need to change our style of play, its working alright at the moment.

I can't help thnking (as much as I think he is great) that it would be very good business at £300K

Would ease some debt problems.....As long as Iffy gets one third of this to bolster the squad I think we could cope.....

Exactly DV85 !

agreed, anything over £250k for fallon is great business. however i'd have my doubts where the money would go, i'd like to think it'd go some way to paying off the cva and also to strengthening the squad but the money for parkin disappeared into thin air, so who knows?

Iffy wont see any of it.

Whether id accept 300k for Fallon soley depends on how much we actually got for Parkin. If we got a very good deal for Parkin then we should gamble and keep Fallon, if we got peanuts for Parkin then we dont have much choice with regards to flogging Fallon.

also, if he wants to sign his new contract get him to do it NOW!

If he wants to stay then there is no reason to drag this contract situation out any longer

We were indeed Davey.  And that was when we heard about a £100k offer.  At £200k plus I'd rip those welshies hands off!!

I'd prefer it if he went to Forest though, that'd be funny as fuck Fallon playing for them, their fans would rip him to shreds.

Yeah we'd be silly to turn that down.

This season is a one off for Fallon. Sell him while he has a value.

I'm going against consensus and saying we should try and keep him and tell them to shove their 250-400K.  If it was the end of the season then fair enough.

At the moment he is our only goalscorer and thus our only chance of staying up. I can't see where the quality supply for Curo to come good will come from.

I think it is too big a risk bringing in someone new now. It may take time to settle and that is something we don't have.

Of course financially we may not have a choice if the right offer comes in. Also if Fallon wants to leave then that is that  too.

At the end of the day, both Cureton and Fallon have different styles.  Just look at Parkin and Fallon.  Both players are good, but put them together, and it just didnt work.

Fallon gives commitment which any fan likes to see.  However if we got £300k for him,  then thats sound business.  I think Cureton could take Fallons place as the main striker, and he can score goals galore.  He's proved it with Colchester, and many other teams


The pros of Fallon leaving are

We get sat £250k,  which hopefully eases some debt, and can also potentially go towards bolstering the squad  (all be it free transfers with higher wages)

We have Cureton who could potentially do the same job for us upfront


The Cons

We are losing our top goal scorer

Fallon has a good presence in defence with his areial ability


What will probably happen is,   Fallon signs a new contract with us, including a get out clause of £400-£500k

He scores lots of goals for Swindon.  Then some time in the near future, he will be

Pro
- Board get money

Cons
- No one else fucking scores.

We'd be fools to get rid of him. Say we do get 250k, that wont all be upfront plus some of it will go to Barnsley. We will get peanuts, he isnt worth that much in terms of transfer value but if his goals keep us in this division, surely that would be worth more to the club that a low % of 250k.

if fallon goes we're as good as relegated. i can't see anyone else taking over as our main goalscorer. cureton will be gone by february & i cant imagine roberts will pull his finger out between now & the end of the season.

our whole style of play has been based around fallon since iffy took over. would be a shame to have to change it round again now its started to get results.

if he is sold we'll probably end up with another jamie slabber coming on loan as cover  :(

that would be typical swindon though. remember terry gibson as a replacement for duncan shearer  :disapprove:

To be talking in excess of 100k for a guy with 6 months left is very good money, when he's free in the summer.  Personally keep him, we need the goals too much IMHO.

Just said on Sky Sports News that we have rejected an undisclosed bid by Swansea for Fallon.

We need Fallon if we will stay up
