Brendan Rodgers blasts Rory Donnelly transfer saga

Swansea boss Brendan Rodgers blasts Northern Irish side Cliftonville after missing out on striker Rory Donnelly.

Swansea City boss Brendan Rodgers has blasted Northern Irish side Cliftonville after he missed out on a chance to sign young striker Rory Donnelly.

Rodgers had agreed a £100,000 fee for the 19-year-old striker, but he now faces competition from Everton and Liverpool.

"I find it sad and disappointing that we had an agreement but now Cliftonville have decided the fee was no longer agreed," Rodgers said.

"Morally you would think that first agreement would stand but Cliftonville have played the game quite well.

"The two other clubs reportedly interested are fantastic clubs but it has to be about opportunity."

Swansea are currently 14th in the Premier League with 18 points from 17 games.
