I'd say the definition on top class would be to make a significant difference to a team, at Swansea he was the difference almost certainly in keeping them up for the last two seasons, can guarantee you one thing, none of our midifelders over the past ten years could have done that for a team like Swansea, including Arteta, Cahill or Barkley.

Dismissing him as not top class because he doesn't run every game for Swansea is a little bit mental really mate, you could stick a peak Cantona in that side and he wouldn't run the game all the time either, a huge amount of games they where getting absolutely battered by the opponents and how is one player supposed to control a game in those circumstances?

What he did do is make the difference in pretty much every game they got a result in, and in the other games at least didn't go missing and put the effort in that a lot wouldn't have

You can't guarantee me that, you are making an assumption, it's a transfer thread that's what we are all doing, throwing words like guarantee around doesn't help any supposed argument. He didn't control games at Spurs either, I don't thin k he is that type of player, he will be a decent addition, and I rate the lad, but if we are hanging our hat on signing him as a playmaker, then I believe that's a mistake, Koeman is easily seduced by size and hardwork, we will need more than that

Koeman doesn't play with a playmaker mate, he didn't at Saints, he hasn't tried to here either, i've said it before but in the 80's we never had a playmaker, we had a team that worked well together and all could play a fair bit like.

We've offered £40m. Same as Leicester.

We would be able to better his wages.

I really can't see us losing out to Leicester on this.

Even Swansea fans reckon the whole Leicester story is just them trying to prod us into paying the £50m, a bit like the Viera to us story is probably Las Palmas trying to scare them/us trying to scare them.

We've offered 30 according to Joyce, not 40.
 
I don't think even Walsh or Koeman could say with confidence when it will be done but if EFC thought there was any chance Leicester or anyone else was ahead of them we'd be seeing far more activity. Instead what we have is EFC sitting back and planting stories that they won't go near Sigurdsson valuation & just happen to also be targeting a known Swansea target...
