£40m Bid Made For Sigurdsson

[hktoffee]

Tapping up by Everton haha...

 

[Zatara]

I do get the argument that Swansea don't want to sell hence the £50m price tag.

But at the same time, it's just low enough that some clubs (i.e. us) might pay it.

If they really didn't want to sell why not say £65m+ or something ridiculous that no one will pay?

Think that's what they thought they had done with talk of 50mil.

Now probably wishing they asked for more...

 

[ad4amt]

has siggy son signed yet?

 

[Somerset Blue]

We need to pay up or ship out, otherwise this could turn nasty...

 

[Darth Toffeeman]

Oh dear, we have already turned into "those fans"....not much different to how we were to Chelsea over Stones a couple of seasons back.

Disagree.

Everton are a giant of the game.
I will never view any club as bigger than Everton.
We have just been badly mismanaged in the Premier era.
That is changing.

Everton haven't done anything wrong. Neither have Swansea.

But, the player wants to leave, we have offered £30-40m and it has been rejected.

We'll have gone (or will be going) back in with a better offer.

 

[Hantakun]

seems safe to say we're not just phantom bidding here like

 

[GwladysPhil]

Where's ciggy has he signed yet.

 

[Kev The Rat]

Swansea are probably playing hardball because it does appear that we have made some fairly cast iron assurances to the player himself.

 

[Groucho]

It's micket-taking, Groucho. I suspect he realises that, given the light-hearted exchanges we have indulged in in the past...

I've been accused of far worse, and you've done nothing about it in the past...

Not having that mate. If something been flagged we always act on it.

I haven't exactly 'done anything' here. Just asked you not to call a blue a kopite. End of matter.

 

[bluestevon]

Joyce came out and said only bid was 30m plus addons so far

 

[meagher94]

Paul Joyce a.k.a. God saying our only bid to date is a package worth £30m.

 

[Shibbywiggles]

Swansea: we want £30mil for Sig

Everton: Ok, £30mil. That's no problem.

Swansea: wow, that was easy. Erm... *whispers to each other for a few seconds*.
Yeah, we meant £50mil

You joke but it sounds like that's literally what happened!

 

[ijjysmith]
