But I don’t think there’s much of a credible argument that the Swans are a particularly stronger outfit. They’ve struggled badly the last few years. And of course a move to SE7 means EG wouldn’t have to relocate.So have we moved on?
I don't get this whole doesn't rate us narrative Orient fans are pushing with EG. Are Swansea with a first full season manager really that much more attractive than us?
Suspect we've moved onto other targets but I just find it all a bit puzzling.3 -

‘Doesn’t rate either’
Hahaha. This is either a salty Orient fan still bitter that we beat them and were ‘vile’ or more likely, Swansea are offering higher wages. That you can understand.11 -
Rich Cawley has also said Galbraith wants to sign for Swansea to be fair.ButtleJR said:

Think Galbraith fancies Swansea over us or Huddersfield, which is fair enough, more established and more money probably.
The “doesn’t rate” comment is just talk of someone who hasn’t gotten over a game that happened about a month ago.12 -
If Swansea do not come in for him, there is a risk that he will leave for a free next summer.3

It's entirely possible that Galbraith would rather join Swansea given that they are a good passing side who only finished 7 points of the play-offs last season. They're realistically a quicker route to the Premier League than recently promoted Charlton or L1 Huddersfield. The idea that Galbraith would sit around earning less money than he would after a move to stay with an Orient side that will struggle to replicate last season's efforts is just ridiculous. The fact is Galbraith would move to any other L1 team if they offered him more money than he was on now and they were the only team making an offer because that's what footballers do. These Orient fans are just trying to style themselves as the moral champions of L1 because they played some nice football but failed in the end and it makes them feel better. If Swansea pull out of a deal and we offer the transfer fee Orient want and the wages he asks for then there will be an Ethan Galbraith shaped hole in the wall before these fans remember their forum loginscarly burn said:

So this guy is saying "if we don't sell him, he'll stay". Not really sticking his neck out there.ButtleJR said:

And it's not always just about money...Galbraith from Northern Ireland...Swansea is a hell of a lot closer than Charlton if he wants to visit. Sometimes players (and people in general) have other priorities over money.3

If Swansea don't get him, he would skip to the Valley.
Leyton Orient who had a flash in the pan top6, or, a Championship side who will offer more money and play infront of bigger crowds, in a bigger stadium for a bigger club.

I think ourselves and Huddersfield are there or at least very close to what Orient want.
What Gailbraith, or more likely his agent wants are where we both probably come up short.
So if that's the case ,Swansea are welcome to him.

That's probably true. He could always drive to Holyhead and get the ferry! Who knows...might have nothing to do with a decision one way or another. My main point was that it's not always money behind a player's choice of where to play...ShootersHillGuru said:

His overall scoring rate at Stockport and Sutton was just short of 1 goal per 3 games .. in the higher division' IF he makes 1 in 4, that'll be 11ish goals for the season, not super prolific but not many Champ strikers are.MillwallFan said:
He’s a 25 year old who scored 8 goals at L1 level last season. That’s not to say I don’t think he’s a decent signing for you. But I don’t think he’ll be going for anywhere near 10 million any time soon. Or ever.Todds_right_hook said:
But what if we sell him for £10m then it’s not a bad deal.letthegoodtimesroll said:
So, if we’ve paid £1.5m and we sell him on for £2m the profit to us would be £500k, making Stockport’s 20% (?) worth £100k and Millwall’s 40% a princely sum of £40k. Yep, can see why the Spanner’s gave up 40% of Stockport’s £1.35m (?) profit….cafc-4-life said:
From what I can only assume is that it’s 40% off the sell on fee that Stockport receive. We could have given 20% sell on fee and then Millwall will get 40% of that fee?stoneroses19 said:40% sell on sounds very high, surprised we agreed to that during negotiation. Certainly a lot higher than a standard sell on clause.
as an established championship club, the £600k is small change and it’s easy money at low risk for them if we sell him on for big money in the future
I expect him to at least start the season with Godden and expect them to shake up a few defences. We have a tough start, good for character building and we'll know a lot more by the end of August lol2 -

Sometimes players (and people in general) have other priorities over money.The chance to win medals to show grandchildren, or taking a cut to play for a hometown team they support, can be motivation ahead of money, as could potentially a deep dislike for the manager (although managers come and go of course).But unless they've earned enough already to set them up for life (they are a long time retired) then it is absolutely all about the money.

Brad Hills was on loan from Norwich at (guess where ?) .. STOCKPORT last season
Norwich have signed 2 central defenders, Medic and Darling .. soooo Hills might be surplus again
He impressed me with what I saw of him, better in central defence than at left back, (make that right back !!)
IF he's available he'd do for me, signed or on loan, though I do not like loaning players unless it is essential4 -
Jones strikes me as the sort of bloke who would immediately close the book on it if Galbraith said he preferred Swansea.Which is the right way to operate.28

London to Belfast by plane is 55 mins.CafcWest said:And it's not always just about money...Galbraith from Northern Ireland...Swansea is a hell of a lot closer than Charlton if he wants to visit. Sometimes players (and people in general) have other priorities over money.
how would he get to Northern Ireland from Swansea? Ferry and a drive or a flight from Cardiff which isn’t overly quicker than from London.It’s not like he has to drive from London to Stranraer and then get a ferry.2 -
I’ll wager that you can get from London to NI quicker and easier than you can from Swansea.CafcWest said:And it's not always just about money...Galbraith from Northern Ireland...Swansea is a hell of a lot closer than Charlton if he wants to visit.
