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.

About twenty minutes less on a plane …

Are there direct flights from Swansea to NI….no.
It takes around 1 hour to get to Cardiff from where there are some flights to Belfast.
London City Airport has many more flights .

Living in Cornwall, I dream of 1 hour journeys from Cornwall to a major airport.

#London Gatwick ........ Cornwall's local international airport  

Was good when Plymouth had an airport

The way I'd look at this squad currently with the gaps we've got in terms of what could be done in terms of ins

RWB x2 (loan out Assimwe, cover can always be Ramsay in a pinch, I don't want to see TC playing wingback ever!) would love Offiah , wouldn't be surprised if the cover was a utility player who could cover 2-3 positions

CBx2 , 1 left footer to push Gilly , 1 cover for Jones (don't mind the Burke idea here if the fee is reasonable) 

LWB X1 - Edwards needs cover/competition, as much as I back him to make the step up with ease 

CDM X1 - Coventry needs cover , could be one to find an experienced free agent. 

CM X1 - nothing against Doc but we need competition in there , would like someone that's a bit better on the ball than Doc. Doc is still gonna have a big role to play. Potentially a high end PL loan? 

AM - luxury signing if the right player became available. Not entirely convinced it will happen and it might be Carey/Berry competing there 

ST - x1??? Tanto and TC seem to be competing for the same kind of role , think Tanto away from home with his physicality will be very useful when we're not going to have a lot of the ball. Not really sure what to do about where Leaburn fits in until we know fitness wise where he's at. Would sign another poacher that can learn off Godden who will still have a big role to play even if he's not starting every week. 

Ahadme can go , Kanu, Casey (think this was mentioned on the U21s thread it was agreed before the end of the season )and Mbick on loan . Dixon is a complete wildcard that I'd give preseason to and see what's what with his development.

40% sell on sounds very high, surprised we agreed to that during negotiation. Certainly a lot higher than a standard sell on clause. 

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?

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….

But what if we sell him for £10m then it’s not a bad deal.

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

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.

You can get to a few places from Exeter airport.

Not that I want to derail this thread but you do know Cornwall does have an airport? just outside of Newquay which actually takes about 1 hour to get to Gatwick?

Of course, I do. But you can't really go anywhere except Channel Islands, Dublin and Gatwick.
It's a sod to get to, except if you live in or near Newquay.

Not exactly an International Airport, is it? 

You can get to Faro, Malaga, Alicante, Zurich and Dusseldorf from Cornwall airport. That international enough for you?

Very disappointing if he signs there. Going for a very fair/cheap price and improves us. Can't say we weren't interested either as we bid

Unless I missed it that FLW doesn’t mention price other than our bid and the Hudds one at £2.5m which I’d say is the upper limit of what he’s worth I think

Worth every penny, he's class and Jones must want him. I think he would fit like a glove here, just have a feeling. He just offers something we lack similar to Tanto, that's invaluable.

I think it’s more the fact Galbraith thinks he can do better than us 

To be fair, we don't know that. The fact he signed for Orient in the first place and has consistently played shows he probably doesn't have an attitude. 

I would say it's more so Swansea have a bit more breathing room than us and have upped their offer.

If that is the case, I'd like to see us match them at least. It would be very difficult to find a player with his qualities that can also play about 4 different roles and only being 24. Players like this are proper upgrades and affordable. Would be nice to see.

Article has zero mention of Swansea upping their offer. It's just a fluff piece put out by a party with a motive to drive a bidding war.

It is speculation. Jay speculated it is the players attitude towards us why he may not sign, I have then speculated if he does go to Swansea, it will be probably be a financial issue or decision as we have shown confirmed interest. 

I listen to FLW a bit more considering they have had a few scoops this window.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

It is a rubbish click bait site.

It WAS a rubbish click bait site but this summer they have been getting a lot of exclusives right. 

Got to give them credit where it’s due rather than being ignorant. 

Will you give them credit if Galbraith ends up at Swansea?

My source at Charlton says the club is expecting a big season from Gassan and they rested him pretty much after his FA Cup heroics at Southend to save him for the Championship.
