CONFIMRED - John Swift

[genome]

Thanks for your post, I enjayed your insight.

I'd be pretty chuffed with a Glen Little MkII. Pace isn't everything.

Touches of class in the first half tonight.

Hit the deck too easily. Get the Chelsea out of him and he looks good.

I was impressed with Swift last night. Showed elegance and intelligence on the ball. An improvement on Evans, I'd be happy to have him starting based on last night's performance.

Swindon are a physical side. They know him from his time at the County Ground. Far stronger than when I saw him play here. Room for one creative player in the side.

Chelsea have a buy back clause on Swift ftr.

Chelsea have a buy back clause on Swift ftr.

how is that possible he was released..... once a player is released they cant put a buy back clause in place unless i am wrong??

They offered him a contract, he joined us instead so compensation must have been agreed as it didn't go to a tribunal, perhaps one of the terms agreed was a buyback clause.

[Nameless]

If Chelsea waived their rights to compensation we may have agreed to give them first refusal on him if we decide to sell during his initial contract period, there may even be a price included.
Wouldn't give Chelsea the right to demand to buy him though !

We really aren't!

He was known for going to ground easily in his time here. Won us a penalty on his debut up at Fleetwood, it got a bit frustrating after a while though. On a side note, he was pictured tucking into a big mac on the way back from that game. Can't imagine your new gaff allowing such disgraceful behaviour!

What. A. Signing. Easily the best piece of business we did this summer. Still only 21 and looks a class above.

Reckon we could get £5m+ for him next summer

Out for 4-6 weeks apparently.

[Royal Ginger]

That's a shame, he's quite good. Oh well, they'll get by.

[royalp-we]

Exactly. As Stam quite rightly said "Swift is not the saviour of Reading".

Don't get me wrong it is a blow. But I feel we have cover there - we would suffer if we lost Moore or McShane tbh.
