Just now, lgfualol said: I'm not keen on Deeney anymore. All I see from Watford fans is that he is fat and doesn't try as much anymore. Nah dont see how he would benefit us anymore.

sk3since03 Posted 12 May 2017 Share Posted 12 May 2017 Need to get this done early doors if true I'd imagine there's going to be a lot of intrest in Sigurdsson this summer! Rightly so he's a great footballer! Would love to see him here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevosevic Posted 12 May 2017 Share Posted 12 May 2017 I imagine we'd be prepared to pay gifi 100k a week - I'm not sure any of the 7-12th placed clubs would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
An Away Move Posted 12 May 2017 Share Posted 12 May 2017 I imagine it will come down to whether Everton or us have the deeper pockets and which club of course Sigurdsson fancies most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want summer signings that improve the squad rather than utility fillers.... That's always the key, sign players better than what you have. the only caveat to that is young players with potential or cheap/free squad fillers. Last seasons signings couldn't have been much worse. Slimani, Musa and Mendy were expensive signings who aren't first XI. Zieler and Hernandez can be justified as they were both cheap and came as squad fillers. Both have looked sub standard but at least we made a profit on Hernandez and would probably get our money back on Zieler. Kaputska has not lived up to expectations but he is young and clearly talented and we will probably at least get our money back if he doesn't blossom here.

An Away Move Posted 12 May 2017 Share Posted 12 May 2017 Deeney over Slimani? I think that was clearly our priority last season. I'd like to see it happen as he is a grafter who would suit our ethos well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True - I'm still (without wishing to turn this into a Slim thread) thinking the jury is out on Slim - I think he's a 15-20 goals a season Prem striker but not yet in our team and style of play. I also don't buy all the sick note label rubbish - he wants to play and has had a frustrating first season - the only thing I really don't like about him is his wearing of gloves when its 12 degrees and dry out on the pitch!

Agree.. plus he wont go to a top 6 club (as the table stands atm) i feel its us or Everton. And he is worth 100k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say Everton and possibly West Ham will be the competition for Sigurdsson. Everton are probably in the box seat but if we can convince him we're realistically challenging for Champions League then that might change. After all we did win the Premier League last season and have had Champions League form since Ranieri so it doesn't sound complete lunacy. I guess if we keep our main players and have other ambitious transfer targets then we're worth considering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it isn't just about money with Sigurdsson. If it was he'd have left Swansea long ago. I think at this stage of his career, its about going to ambitious club & winning silverware.

Gerard Posted 12 May 2017 Share Posted 12 May 2017 I'm wondering where Shaky sees him fitting in? His main positions are AML and AMC. This seems overly attacking: Vardy Sigurdsson Slimani Mahrez If Mahrez leaves in the summer this would be excellent for Slimani with quality crosses: Vardy Sigurdsson Slimani Albrighton Or maybe Siguardsson replaces Slimani?

Palace pay Benteke £100k a week and if they sign Sakho they will pay him £105k a week. Edit: Just looked it up and there also reports that Cabaye is also on £100k a week.

Schmeichel Gibson Morgan* Benalouane* Albrighton Drinkwater* Ndidi Fuchs* Sigurdsson Slimani Vardy Presuming Mahrez goes. I put a * next to those I am unsure about.

Think Sigurdsson replaces Slim tbh, he's better suited to our Plan A. Really hope we keep Mahrez. Imagine how many chances Vardy will get with Mahrez, Sigurdsson, Albrighton & Drinkwater all supplying him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think we'll see 3-4-1-2 more under Shakespeare though, because it's a good option to switch to if we are chasing a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxy boxing Posted 12 May 2017 Share Posted 12 May 2017 would be a great signing for us and hopefully ther club can get it done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st albans fox Posted 12 May 2017 Share Posted 12 May 2017 As others have already said everton, West Ham or us all three would pay six figure salary I think he would choose Everton but only if Barclay leaves. West Ham have lanzini in that creative role. We really have no one and he would be assured of his place in the team. I think Barclay is leaving so that puts us in second place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CityFan 06 Posted 12 May 2017 Share Posted 12 May 2017 I mentioned previously how Shakespeare might be able to re-install that good recruitment system we became known for. I'd imagine he'd assemble a very solid, thorough set up. This article looks promising in terms of the ambition to push on in the PL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickelbyfox Posted 12 May 2017 Share Posted 12 May 2017 Would be an amazing addition - upgrade on Okazaki and could fit into our style of play, maybe we would actually be able to hold up occasionally in the oppositions half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
