£40m Bid Made For Sigurdsson

[Exeter Gently]

Totally the opposite , we got it in & done our business early before it started to go really crazy.

Mate soon as we put a 50mil price tag on Ross in May we snookered ourselves ....Other teams are using that as the barometer against us now.

You put it that we were responsible for teams overpaying by 15-20 mil....not the case.
Walker to City for 54 mil has set the barometer.
We had 5 or 6 in before that. Not down to us mate.

Edit.

34 to 36 mil for Salah.....yeah Salah !!!

And apparently Levy used Keane as a price barometer when negotiating with City for Walker...Everton have without doubt drove the market up this summer.

Not a chance....you'll find we have been very shrewd come end of window.

But I do think we will pay well over the odds for a player essencial to Koemans plans.

Also when you think that as a club we had to make a statement by wrapping up players early,there was always going to be some sort of premium on bring in players so early.

haha to right...but we also must accept that this current Everton set up is potentiality trying to brake the mould so without CL footy we've got to out bid teams around us for players that may not represent true value,thus distorting the market...
