Grantham Fox Posted 4 June 2017 Posted 4 June 2017 Now we're actually interested, we've got to get it done!

frany104 Posted 4 June 2017 Posted 4 June 2017 Signing someone like Siggurdson early will show the intent needed to other potential signings. Get this done early!
Chico1958 Posted 4 June 2017 Posted 4 June 2017 On the back of our season in total and that we still haven't sorted out the manager position that he will come to Leicester In fact how many will, also Everton have Europe to look forward to. It's a pity as he's a top player

Can't see him coming to us, but hope I'm wrong.

It's a pity as he's a top player In theory I agree with this. But it's also plausible Sigurdsson could be convinced that we have a more sustainable long term plan to be challenging consistently for Europe with the likes of Everton and that we are capable of playing much closer to the 15/16 level than 16/17 level. He's been content at Swansea for long enough to suggest he'd evaluate all options so I think we have more of a chance of landing him than we are given credit for.

Think the main reason he'll choose us is if we pay him a bigger wage than anyone else is prepared to ?

We'll see what happens but I genuinely think if we really, really want Sigurdsson and really sell the vision to him and give a him great contract he'd be all ears.
rn9013 Posted 4 June 2017 Posted 4 June 2017 This would be a fantastic signing, and a real sign of our intent. However I'm not sure he would come to us now, surely Everton would be favourites given they have European football.
Tuna Posted 4 June 2017 Author Posted 4 June 2017 G'won Vichai! Give him his own helicopter! His own racing stable! Buy him a Belgian second division football club! Just. Get. It. Done. Please!
Mickyblueeyes Posted 4 June 2017 Posted 4 June 2017 This deal is too good to be true. A 27 year old player with proven qualities in the Prem. fits in a position we really need to add quality to. Surely surely not?!?!

Winsum Posted 4 June 2017 Posted 4 June 2017 You can't sell your best players then expect to attract quality

LinekersApples Posted 4 June 2017 Posted 4 June 2017 Checking the betting odds, about 8 clubs have prices and are therefore classed as interested. Not always credible, but the market is based on a variety of intelligence. We are not one of these clubs.
ARM1968 Posted 4 June 2017 Posted 4 June 2017 This would be a major coup and a great signing. The guy is class. Would give us greater dimension in several areas. Get it done and show that we mean business.
LinekersApples Posted 4 June 2017 Posted 4 June 2017 Just checked again and we are on there. Apologies. 20/1 if you think this could happen
sphericalfox Posted 4 June 2017 Posted 4 June 2017 Siggy would be class, but it'll be a case of who can dish up the nicest package, and I think for £30m and silly wages, there'll be significant competition. We should certainly be looking for a player of his qualities, but cheaper elsewhere, as I don't necessarily think we'll be able to get it over the line should he even consider us.
Nick Posted 4 June 2017 Posted 4 June 2017 If we are to sign him we'll have to pay to pay the full amount and his 120k a week as we are not his most attractive option... only that he would start every week....
