My Swansea fan mate is doing his nut about Allen returning.
Allen left Swansea 10 years ago when he was 22 and on an upward trajectory. A decade on he’s on the slide and they’re looking to give him a 2 yr deal on obviously substantial terms if they’ve had to wait to get Downes out before signing him.
I think it’s beginning to hit home all the times I’ve said that he always looks a level above when in a Wales shirt.
I’m not an anti-Allen but glad we’re moving in a different direction signing younger hungrier players.
That said it’s Friday and we could well announce today the signing of a journeyman that the ITKs have missed….that would be very Stoke.

www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/joe-allen-travelling-swansea-city-24426148Joe Allen is set to undergo a medical at Swansea City on Friday ahead of a stunning return to his boyhood club.
The impending sale of Flynn Downes to West Ham United means Swansea are now in a position to re-sign midfielder Allen - who left south Wales to join Liverpool 10 years ago.
It's understood Allen will travel to Swansea on Thursday evening with a view to completing the formalities and paperwork ahead of a return to the club he joined as a schoolboy. It comes after the 32-year-old rejected a new contract at Stoke City. He could be in contention to feature in Tuesday's pre-season clash with Plymouth Argyle at Home Park.
Bristol City are among the second tier sides who showed an interest in Allen, although they were unable to put a suitable package together.
Spanish outfit RCD Mallorca are understood to have put an offer on the table for Allen, although he is now expected to sign a two-year deal at Swansea ahead of the 2022/23 season. Rejected a contract from stoke? Interesting, I thought we didn’t offer terms?

I think Stoke even were quoted in saying that a couple of weeks ago when announcing Allen’s departure?

It felt like we offered a contract of what he is now worth, without any nostalgia, or wage inflation, he didn't like it.

I don't think we will miss Allen, but we certainly need to bring in a couple of attacking players!
