Back in Febuary this year there were rumours that Portsmouth were prepared to offer £1.5 million for Trundle, even Hartlepool were rumoured to be taking him for £500,000. The club simply could not afford to match any clubs valuation of Trundle - even if we did offer a decent amount and Swansea were willing to let him go then our bid would just open up a bidding war and every other interested club would totally trump our bid off the face of the earth eg. the Rooney/Newcastle/Man Utd scenario. I would guess that our wage structure is preety much solid and we all know what has happened over the past few years with smaller clubs that have bought big - a year later they've gone to the wall. Wiley, older professionals are the way forward, whilst giving some of the talent closer to home experience alongside them.
