Graham £3.5m bid accepted

[hornetboy1]

The club have accepted a £3.5 million bid from Swansea for DG. I think this is very low, considering Leeds turned down £3.5m from Norwich for Snodgrass yesterday.

Oh well....at least this has paid off the £3.5m shortfall from last season.

[Darrenje]

Not good business this, he still has to accept terms if true.

Surely holding out for a bidding war would have been a better alternative, and selling end of this month, or are we in deeper shiite than is being reported.

[UHORNS]

Would be very surprised if we haven't got some decent add-ons added to this fee.

Good luck DG thanks for the effort!!

Will be looking forward to your interview on the Watford Legends website.

How much will Malky get to spend on improving the team...not much I guess?

Hopefully a fee paid up front rather than installments.

[hornetboy1]

Not good business in my book. Selling your prize asset at under market value. We had so many teams sniffing around him, now he will go for only £3.5m. I doubt he will go to Swansea though, as now Watford have declared their selling price QPR, WBA, Newcastle will all steam in. DG will go to any of these clubs above Swansea, I would expect. Probably QPR.

I'd be very surprised if Malky got a penny, as the figure exactly matches last seasons shortfall of £3.5m. We are now on an even keel going into next season, but dont forget there is a £2.5m payment to be made, as the first installment paying off the £10m bonds issue.

Why on earth would we accept a bid in June?

I can only imagine it is so we can get our own deals sorted early.

Definitely under-priced.

[TheDon]

What a *****ing joke.

[The Voice of Reason]

I'm not happy about this either!!!

However, I would like to think that we contacted the other known interested clubs and gave them the chance to put in a higher bid, and that they said they would not be willing to go higher?

At least I hope someone at the club did do that

Maybe but would anyone believe them if the club came out and said no-one else wanted to offer more?

Of course they aren't going to say they're willing to go much higher! The bidding clubs objective is to keep the price as low as possible, why in the world would they tell Watford that they would be willing to offer more in the future.

The only way we would have found out is by not bending over on the FOURTH DAY of the transfer window and accepting one of the first bids we've recieved.

I am absolutely certain if we'd held out until the end of July/beginning of August we'd be getting a mil more.

Bas probably needs the money NOW.

I think 3.5m is incredible business. The man has a unibrow for God's sake!

Without a doubt

[jonnyboy]

How can a league one striker be worth the same amount(makail-smith)?

[wfcmoog]

Is this confirmed? If so, it's ****ing ludicrous.

[Hornmeister]

Can't see how Swansea will be an attractive prospect for Danny.

Because Peterborough have a wealthy owner who does not want to sell his club's assets on the cheap, unlike our owner who needs the money.

Oscar -you had an opportunity to buy the club just like BBB who is a bankrupt -why didn't you?
