Some Swansea fans on social media are apoplectic at the reports that Tottenham’s deal to sign Joe Rodon was worth around £11m.
There have been contradictory claims made in the British press over the past week about how much a potential deal for Rodon was likely to be worth.
The Athletic initially claimed that Spurs were hopeful of getting the transfer done for a little more than the £7m fee that the club initially had in mind, while Alasdair Gold suggested that Swansea were demanding close to £20m.
It looks like the two clubs reached a midway compromise, with Spurs paying an initial £11m upfront with performance-related add-ons bringing the deal to £15m (BBC Wales’ Gareth Vincent).
Swansea fans are absolutely livid that their owners decided to let the 22-year-old go so cheaply.
While many said that they would not begrudge Rodon a chance to play at the highest level, they insisted that the club should have demanded a much higher fee.
