FrankieADZ Posted 13 July 2017 Posted 13 July 2017 about time, least we can move on from the fact we thought we had a chance of getting him, which this season we didnt
woznotwos Posted 13 July 2017 Posted 13 July 2017 When you consider Chelsea are close to getting Tiemoue Bakayoko, 22, for £40m on a five-year deal from Monaco it makes me think Gylfi is overpriced . Matic anyone

thybluefox Posted 13 July 2017 Posted 13 July 2017 Mach Everton's bid and then offer him a deal. He's easily worth the same a week as Vardy/Mahrez.

If there's no point hanging on in hope of getting someone, the targets need to change. I'm not sure about Barkley though tbh (mentioned elsewhere).

A decent whack of money yes, but not a package of £72.5 million on one player. How would people feel if we'd signed someone like that and they'd been out all season like Mendy? The squad would have been thread bare. 2 minutes ago, thybluefox said: We did push the boat out, we just pushed it in the wrong direction. We couldn't even get Deeney or Keane to kick up a fuss about coming here. So I'm not sure why people think he'd have been so easy to entice.

He's constantly slating Mendy as a signing when the bloke has done nothing wrong. The point is any signing can get injured, would he be slating Sigurdsson the same as he does Mendy?

We already did (if you believe the papers... although I wouldn't be shocked if that was them just trying to get more money). The step up from Swansea to Leicester isn't worth kicking up a fuss about. The step up from Swansea to Everton is clearly, as he's not getting on the plane to go away with them.

Leicester_Loyal Posted 13 July 2017 Posted 13 July 2017 Honestly, for 40m, and at his age, I'm glad we're not signing him.

Leicester_Loyal Posted 13 July 2017 Posted 13 July 2017 According to Sky, Swansea have rejected the 40m offer?!

STUHILL Posted 13 July 2017 Posted 13 July 2017 So much for the £50million pricetag, but perhaps add-ons will get them up to that eventually. It's too much money, even in this day and age. Never felt that he was that keen on a move to us anyway. Everton are doing some good business. Obviously not enough to break the top 4-5, but definitely will be not far behind. For £40million, we could get two top players from abroad. Just hope our recruitment team are on it!

Looks like a straight two-horse race between us and Everton. He'll end up going for 50M at this rate. Credit to Swansea, they are using all of their eBay auction skills to jack the price up, and they should be. I think Siggy is our number 1 target and the club will back Shakespeare. I think he will go to Everton, but we will match any bid they make. In for a penny, in for a (50M) pound.

If they were say, 12th then the business they are doing would probably propel them up the table. But I'm not sure what they've done is actually going to move them up the table significantly enough to warrant the outlay. I can't see united being quite as bad again and they will be looking at getting mid 70's point total. So Everton are likely to need a 10/15 point shift minimum to move a single place. On the back of losing their top striker, If Sigurdsson goes his stats are marginally better than Barkley, so they are almost like for like.
