Wymsey Posted 13 July 2017 Posted 13 July 2017 It's very clear that Swansea don't want to sell him, but if Sigurdsson hasn't handed in a transfer request himself (as it seems at the moment), he is probably content to stay.

There must be something I'm missing if someone could enlighten me on this subject: what is the point of transfer requests? Interested parties will enquire either way. Arent requests unnecessary? Like Mahrez, if he hadnt made that statement it wouldnt have harmed his prospects

Someone content on staying at a club probably wouldn't refuse to go on a clubs pre season tour, imo that's basically handing in a request without actually handing 1 in
les-tah Posted 13 July 2017 Posted 13 July 2017 whatever Sigurdsson goes for Mahrez wont go for a penny less ...
AKCJ Posted 13 July 2017 Posted 13 July 2017 Would you swap Mahrez for Sigurdsson? I wouldn't. I think 50m is too much.

You forfeit that if you make a request. Doesn't really make a positive difference for the player though.

Depends if we ever set up to get the best out of Mahrez, we play another season where we don't support our attacking players and we'd probably be better off swapping him for someone a bit more boring and functional as sad as that might be.

We need a genuine creative midfielder/No.10 Don't think Deeney will come unless he is a starter and we crave some creativity, so unless Ulloa/Slimani leave, or we don't sign Iheanacho, then I would spend that £20m elsewhere He probably doesn't. But at last we'd have three PL quality strikers fighting for two places, plus (so it would appear) Ulloa &Shinji as back up. Though I for one would like to think that Leo & Shinji have given us all they can, and should move on...

City1884 Posted 13 July 2017 Posted 13 July 2017 This is getting tedious now.......... 1. Sigurdsson doesn't want to come here, people should be able to read between the lines, he doesn't see us as enough of a step up, whereas Everton, as much as we don't like to believe it, probably (just about) fits the bill. 2. We bid £40m, the maximum we were willing to pay, it got rejected, we gave up and moved on, Everton have bid slightly less than us because they hoped with his desire to go there they could have pushed it through, fair play to Swansea, they are sticking to their guns on the price. 3. Where do people think we would fit iheanacho AND sigurdsson into the starting 11 together? Both would have to have been virtually assured regular starts, Iheanacho is to partner Vardy, Sigurdssons position is just behind the main striker (number 10). Do people think he would have replaced DD in one of the CM positions? Because that isn't where he is effective, or where he wants to play! You either have one or the other, (iheanacho or sigurdsson) not both, unless you are looking to change formation to 3 at the back, which isn't the main plan! I'm of the opinion that £50m (part of it add ons) although overpriced, might have turned out to be good business for us, with the ambition it would show to help attract other targets going forward, but it is not going to happen now, can people please realise this!

HankMarvin Posted 13 July 2017 Posted 13 July 2017 EVERTON have had a £40million bid for Gylfi Sigurdsson TURNED DOWN and the Iceland international is not on Swansea’s pre-season tour of the United States. The club confirmed the 27-year-old “did not feel in the right frame of mind to travel due to the current uncertainty over his future.”
MIAMI_FOX Posted 13 July 2017 Posted 13 July 2017 Paddy pants down time for Everton. We can move on close the thread.

jayfox26 Posted 13 July 2017 Posted 13 July 2017 2 hours ago, RoyFox said: Boudebouz or Ziyech for less than £30m, younger, for just over half of what Sigurdsson's wages would be, are the best alternatives IMO. Or get both and still only pay about £50m
WigstonWanderer Posted 13 July 2017 Posted 13 July 2017 Move on and get Boudebouz or whoever more cheaply, but not before putting in a 45m bid just to screw Everton over by bumping up the price.

Possibly but it could be argued that a player handing in a transfer request publicly, could put pressure on his current team to sell for less as teams are aware of his desire to move. A player that looks content at a club who don't want to sell will normally command a higher fee than one who's obviously unsettled at a club who may not want to be stuck with an unhappy player He may be just being respectful to Swansea.
TrentFox Posted 13 July 2017 Posted 13 July 2017 Sky sports app transfer live section seem to be implying Everton's £40m bid wasn't as big as ours ?!?!?? ( and don't ask for a link - I'm 52 and it's a miracle I can use a teaspoon, never mind a smartphone)!! Have I misread that ????

Sky sources say the Toffees' interest has translated into an offer £10m short of the £50m Swansea are demanding for their goalscoring midfielder. And it is understood a rival - and more valuable - bid from Leicester has already been rejected by the City board.

Sir Shep Posted 13 July 2017 Posted 13 July 2017 Seems like he wants to join Everton not us, 97 pages without even a hint he ever wanted to come here! Want to lock the thread, just post pictures of a Rachel Riley, that'll get the mods swinging into action
