Babylon Posted 7 June 2014 Posted 7 June 2014 De Telegraf linking us and a few others with Sigthorsson http://m.telegraaf.nl/telesport/article/22712736/swansea-biedt-op-sigthorsson
crisp packet Posted 7 June 2014 Posted 7 June 2014 Swansea City has a bid on Kolbeinn Sigthorsson. Ajax calls for a transfer fee of about 9 million euros for the Icelandic striker. The concrete interest of the Premier League club is striking, since the employer of Jonathan de Guzman, Michel Vorm, Dwight Tiendalli and Marvin Emnes full for FC Twente striker Luc Castaignos seemed to go. Swansea City recently reached an agreement with the Enschede club in main lines. Castaignos Sigthorsson, who now gets so competition of ten goals in 30 League matches last season. For the 24-year-old international of Iceland, last week against Austria in a friendly international matches accurately (1-1) and Estonia (1-0), are still a number of English clubs in the market. Leicester City, Sunderland and West Ham United are already reported through an intermediary at Ajax. Sigthorsson contract with Ajax runs down the middle of next year. Wilfried Bony Swansea City, which finished twelfth in the Premier League this season, would like to respond to the expected departure of Michu. In addition, former Vitesse striker Wilfried Bony on the wish list of various clubs.
KFS Posted 7 June 2014 Posted 7 June 2014 It seems like every man and his dog are linked with this bloke.
Nick Posted 7 June 2014 Posted 7 June 2014 Never heard of him, though if anybody's got a youtube clip, by page two of this thread I'll be giving a critical dissemination as to what he would bring to our side like I know him as a brother.
Nick Posted 7 June 2014 Posted 7 June 2014 I'm glad I dont have a lisp with that name I don't think your in any position to be commenting on weird names.......
Nick Posted 7 June 2014 Posted 7 June 2014 Yeah I've been watching this fella closely for a while now - he's exactly what we need, strong, fast - provides good link up play can win headers from Kaspers long kicks and most importantly can play the lone striker role. Would be a fantastic signing.
CollinsLCFC Posted 7 June 2014 Posted 7 June 2014 I agree ^Looks like exactly what we could do with up front.
lcfcsnow Posted 7 June 2014 Posted 7 June 2014 Poor record considering most decent forwards score for fun in that league, including Altidore. I'd prefer Finnbogason.
Bluearmyfox28 Posted 7 June 2014 Posted 7 June 2014 Doesn't have the best goal scoring record in a poor league? Not to sure what to think on this one. However I won't judge a player I know nothing about!
Nick Posted 7 June 2014 Posted 7 June 2014 However I won't judge a player I know nothing about! Why not? This is what Transfer Talk was founded on.
MC Prussian Posted 7 June 2014 Posted 7 June 2014 Doesn't have the best goal scoring record in a poor league? Not to sure what to think on this one. However I won't judge a player I know nothing about! He looks the type of player we need up front, good shooting and heading ability, pretty quick and agile and wouldn't be too much on the expensive side. Also, he's played and scored in the Europa League with AZ Alkmaar, as well. So he does know what it's like to play on a slightly higher level than the Eredivisie.
Thracian Posted 7 June 2014 Posted 7 June 2014 Looks a really tough and determined livewire. No peace for defenders with him around. But is he just another Waghorn. Okay to a point.
Bluearmyfox28 Posted 7 June 2014 Posted 7 June 2014 Why not? This is what Transfer Talk was founded on. It really is amusing how some people on here judge players they know nothing about. See it time & time again. Someone will either say I think h"e would be great for us", or "he doesn't have the ability in the prem". Then at the end of the sentence finish it with something like, "however I haven't seen him play before"
Bluearmyfox28 Posted 7 June 2014 Posted 7 June 2014 He looks the type of player we need up front, good shooting and heading ability, pretty quick and agile and wouldn't be too much on the expensive side.

Very heavy price tag if we only have 10m to spend like reports suggest.
Fox Ulike Posted 7 June 2014 Posted 7 June 2014 Doesn't have the best goal scoring record in a poor league? Not to sure what to think on this one. However I won't judge a player I know nothing about! Errr there's a 90 second youtube clip to watch what more do you need? This guy scores with litterally every chance he gets, and is a battler too. The sort who doesn't go missing on a wet Tuesday evening away at Cambuur or Go Ahead Eagles. He's deadly with the ball played in front of him and just the keeper to beat. Easily worth £10m and we should slap our money on the table before anyone else sees the clip.

MC Prussian Posted 7 June 2014 Posted 7 June 2014 I will take your word for it. Very heavy price tag if we only have 10m to spend like reports suggest. I would take the £10m with a pinch of salt, though. Reported transfer fees are often inflated for the public and/or by the media. Add-ons also play a part in a deal. Plus, we'd have to pay him out of his contract that runs until next summer.
AKCJ Posted 7 June 2014 Posted 7 June 2014 Much rather have Finbogasson. Would probably be cheaper too.
MC Prussian Posted 7 June 2014 Posted 7 June 2014 Much rather have Finbogasson. Would probably be cheaper too. From what I gather, Finnbogason would cost even more than Sigthorsson.
Babylon Posted 7 June 2014 Author Posted 7 June 2014 Never knew we had so many football scouts on this forum.
