£40m Bid Made For Sigurdsson

[ToffeeDan]

Swansea seem to have put the cart before the horse.. putting a price on a player before complaining someone wants to buy him.

Swansea want 50m , Everton are prepared to pay 30m . It is now down to the player, if he pushes for a move it will possibly come in at about 40m , if he says nothing it may not happen at all.

Having money is all well and good but we have to be able to turn round and say no and walk away from deals. Otherwise we will get shafted in every future negotiation.

Unlucky for the lad Sigs, but that's generally what happens to the nice ones, if he was a mug he'd already be ours.

Other targets out there - we shouldn't be losing sleep over their over inflated valuation.

Swansea have already reportedly knocked back £40m, they will want more than that.

This doesnt even look close currently to me.

I just want this to be over. Has he handed in a transfer request or just skipped the plane?

Let's offer Swansea Besic, McCarthy and £35m. Winners.

Seriously, I can't see Sigurdsson handing in a transfer request either. Which if he did, would make this whole thing easier. Or at least if he could do a Rom and start talking about his desire to play for FC Sexy.

Swansea. Cart. Horse. All mentioned in a non Ashley Williams thread. Wow.

If we've gone in with 30m so far MG and they value him at 50m I think this is a way off isn't it. Can't see us saying o.k here's another 20m all of a sudden.

Whilst this is dragging on we might as well tie up a deal for VVD and Modric

Personally I think we hold all the cards on this one, he clearly wants to come to us. Him pulling out of the tour etc is just going to end up forcing Swansea's hand. They can't replace him until he's sold and they won't want to wait until the end of the window... it reminds me of us back in the day... HA!

Why would we give Swansea a player worth in excess of 120m?

 

[Brisan123]

We got between 75-90mil, no?

75 m plus 15 m in add ons
Rooney who is worth 10 m of anybody's money for free
Half of Rooneys wages for the duration of his contract paid up , another 10/15 m so 110 m at least for Rom

Because imagine their faces when both players break down first game of the season and are out for most of it. We will have done them all ends up. Winners. Top negotiators.
