Rodon rumour may roll on a YEAR!

Hopes appear to be rising that Swansea central defender Joe Rodon may be on his way to the Hammers although as ever  its a scenario surrounded by ifs and buts.

First reported by Jacob Steinberg in the Guardian it was followed in some media by claims that a £30 million fee would be involved.

It came on top of David Sullivan’s controversial talkSPORT interview in which he made it clear that he was still waiting for the manager to decide on targets.

And then ExWHUemployee added that he had sent the name to Sullivan and published his reply about the player.

Ex reported: “Joe Rodon at Swansea. We had some enquires. I’m led to believe that we could get him for about £12-15m. Swansea are not in a good position financially and need to sell players.

I sent that knowledge on to David Sullivan. And the response that I got from that was: ‘We know the player well, in a year he could be very good’.”

That sort of comment from Sullivan coincides with many conversations we have had in the past with agents who have recommended players to Sullivan and been told the same thing.

“Ready in a year” appears to suggest “He’s not ready now”

Unless there’s a determination by the chief shareholder to appease the fans after his car crash interview yesterday this one may well go the same way.

We’ll see!
