The Bodde - Snatchers

Championship Swansea City
by RuberyRam (U8432267) 10 June 2008
comment on the article

When finally, Bodde becomes a Derby player, what can we expect from him?

What would you say are his best attributes?

We are really excited about landing this up and coming player and I don't think it will be too long before he gets a run outin the first team.

I think your board were a litlle foolhardy in allowing his previous owners a 50% sell on clause.

Your views please.....

Thats funny thought derby had offered nigh on £2m, and if we do sell him its because we have decided to sell him to your club, we don't need the money so if this offer suits us and our sister club in holland you will get him. And we are so stupid that we bought a player for £85k and will sell him for £2m if we accept, yes thats grossly stupid, our partners in holland will be very grateful to you for the money the same as us.

Hnag on, tapping up, breaking rules??...Nonsence!!! Derby made an offer, swanse publicly rejected it - cat was out of the bag, Derby made another offer, Bodde said he wanted to leave, Swansea rejected it again, Bodde said he REALLY wanted to leave, Derby offered deal worth 2 million. From what Ive seen Swansea have alway made the first move with the Media and Derby have made official offers. And for Swansea fans info ESPECIALLY the nutty chairman and manager - Derby haves said anything about a done deal....infact THEY havent said anything about the new 2 mill offer....that was Swansea again!!!!

also lets look at the websites - Swansea have publicised it, Derby havent. Oh and our so called "only claim to fame" isnt just the lowest Prem league points ever (although at least we made it there.....TWICE), we also have league winners under our belt and European football

Think its to be determined who made this public, either your stupid management (returning the comment) or bodde's blood sucking new agent, so until you know the facts I would keep quiet. Also the fact that this agent is probably also doing the press releases its no way confirmed that he does even want to come to your club, I think that sets of just be quiet and await confirmed comments from both clubs.

Just saying that if you look at all the quotes they are all/vast majority from Swansea...all quite aggressive and all "he's not going anywhere" which cant be helping. Im not saying Derby are blameless, they are bound to have made it known that they want their man........but thats not illegal or tapping up...no more than Rangers making no secret that they liked Kenny Miller (thank god!!!) or that Bradford are interested in Darren Moore (Thank god again) - its just the modern game, modern media and life. We arent trying to steal him - Swansea came out and said tehy wanted 2 million, we;ve aparently offered that amount. You dont browse a car showroom, buy a car then get accused of trying to steal it

True enough, but you talk to the salesman and agree a price that suits everyone. If the car is for sale at, say, 25K and you offer just over 9K for it, you'll be shown the door PDQ. And, unfortunately, this is just exactly how derby started going about business in this deal. I'm, nearly, convinced that Ferrie will leave for Derby this summer, but hope also that they will treat us with a little more respect in future.

I Think That Swansea Will Se Sence and Not Let One Of Our Best Players If Not The Best Go To Derby We Saw What He Can Do And Theres No One That Suits Swans Play Than Bodde. We Will Be in The Same Leauge as Derby Next season And Maybe If We work Hard We Can Get Into The play-offs

I've finally worked out how Ferrie heard about Derby! He as a Dutch man is mad about the Eurovision song contest and was mis-informed by his agent that Derby were the UK entrant....sorry to tell you Ferrie but that was Andy Abraham, and he got more points biggrin

Also I've heard on the grapevine that NASA are to sponser the Bluetits new 30,000 seater stadium at Leckwith, as they're the only people used to dealing with so much space on match days cheers
