£40m Bid Made For Sigurdsson

[Gwladys St. Glory]

I though Landon Donovan was somehow part of the Swansea ownership now...get with it, Landycakes.

Only when I have spare time mate.

lol Cryin here mate

 

[Abraders]

So at what point do we expect Siggy to play ball and chuck in the transfer request?

Not that we're in contact with him in any way like...

Think we'd be done for tapping up before that happens?

He won't need to as we will pay what requires his services

 

[blueboy1945]

Why are we spending so much on one player who we can't sell on when we could house every homeless person in the city for a fraction of the fee? We're losing touch with the people.

What a stupid post.

He will sign it's just a matter of time

 

[Armaghtoffee]

Just like the stunt they pulled with lukaku, with Drogba, lampard et al all saying how well he'd fit in at Chelsea now, cos he's the finished article. I bet they're still seething over him going to united.

I would think so even though I have reservations of how he would have fitted into their system.

I was angry at how Chelsea belittled us over Stones and would be disappointed if our fans treated Swansea similarly over Gylfi.

Ok minutes per goal or assist below.

Dele Belly - 125.6
Flabergast - 142.3
Bug Eyez - 152.1
Siggy - 168.7
Eriksen - 171.3
Stroppy Tits - 181.3

Think the point stands, very comparable numbers, in a weaker side and 50m wouldn't get you a sniff of the competitors.
Only concern for me now is team's probably built round him at Swansea and he won't get that here - like Rom when here compared to Utd.
Also isn't his best role as a 10 and doubt we're fixing to play one for a lot of games?

Swansea's system was 'Give it to Siggy' but that also means he was closed-down by defences the most, he'd get much more space for us as his movement is very good.

 

[blulouie]

From what I read, the addons wer really hard to achieve so unlikely to move by much at all. Not certain at all it's gona end up 90, but I suppose no one knows. I was just talking about initial fees.

75 in hard cash
Plus 15 add ons (same we had with Rooney all them years ago)
Valuation 10 mil Rooney.

100 big ones mate.

Or to make this work we agree to compensate him for what he would give up in loyalty bonuses - that's also how this kind of situation has been resolved in the past.

Again, this is the dodgy end of the tapping up spectrum.

How are we tapping up? Swansea have said a fee and stuck to it it's then down to us and them to sort it out. We don't need to get him to hand in a transfer request as they are willing to sell
Him

 

[Midnitemike]

This one's starting to really bore me now. Really wish they would move transfer deadline to the Friday before season starts so clubs can't drag transfers like this out over the first two or three weeks of the season

But we haven't got the likes of Neville Southall or Kevin ratcliffe two Everton and Welsh greats spouting off in the press or in television, about how perfect siguardsson would be for Everton or alternatively how perfect Everton is for siguardsson.

 

[Rollo Tomassi]

With all respect mate, you don't allude to that in your OP. You called him a one dimensional player, something siguardsson is clearly not, but something you could certainly level at bolasie.[/QUOTE

One dimensional or a one trick pony maybe but he is good at one thing which is set piece delivery and Bolasie is good at one thing I don't mind either but the fee for both is dead money.

Look at it this way the pair of them will cost the same as Lukaku yet will get nowhere near his influence
