£40m Bid Made For Sigurdsson

[chrismpw]

Anyway, this Siggurdson. On or off?

Siggurdson?
Siggurdsoff?

Christ you're doing alright aren't you?

Yes and if I sold my house it would cost me 600,000 to buy similar.
It's Monopoly money
It's the kids that will benefit
As to wages , food , beer , cars all cost a lot more now than in 1982

 

[matty1878]

That's why I said we're desperate for both. In fact we actually have more competent strikers than we have competent centre backs.

So what's wrong with getting sigurdsson in a striker then a center half? - we don't know we won't mate

Yes of course.

[blueboy1945]

Yes there is: we were promised we'd keep our best players by showing some ambition.

Fell at the first fence.

His first season here after that statement and Stones, Lukaku and Barkley (no doubt) all leave to pay for his financial "backing" of the squad.

Same old same old: just another carpetbagger.

Can't keep players who no longer wish to play for Everton. The 'carpetbagger' as you describe him has, for me, done everything I would have expected from him in the short time he has been here, and I think there's a lot more to come from him yet. Have a little more patience my friend!

 

[Brisan123]

To be fair I don't think anyone doesn't want us to spend £50m on a player. I think the issue is with paying £50m for this player.

I like Sigurdsson a lot. If we pay up and get him then I won't complain. To be honest though whilst it's still up in the air... I'd like someone a bit better for that much money.

Like who
A player that will sign for us obviously

 

[Brisan123]

Yes of course.

*cries in corner of hovel

600.000 doesn't get you a lot in Dublin

 

[BlueToff]

That's just making a virtue out of a necessity.

We didn't afford Kenwright that level of spin, why should we give it to Moshiri?

No David.

I'm putting forward facts. Evidence to support my argument.

 

[blueboy1945]

Yes of course.

*cries in corner of hovel

Pull yourself together man, and be thankful you have a hovel!

 

[davek]

I've come to the conclusion that you will never ever be happy with Everton mate.

I'll be happy if we win a trophy. Not too much to ask for at a club like this really is it? 22 years without one...who can be happy about that?

I just can't see us getting two quality ones in if we blow £50m of our money on him. As much as we want it to be true, we are not Man City with a bottomless pit of cash.

 

[davek]

No mate, his account is joint-owned and operated by the Sasquatch and King of the Molepeople.

?????????????????????

Think the answer might be a bit closer to him than that, tbf.

 

[Titus Bramble]

Negotiating is good. Great.
BUT THEY DONT WANT TO SELL!!!!!

How can you negotiate for something thats not for sale? You cant. The owner dictates " i really dont want to sell but give me this'insert amount' and you can have it."
So its clear the amount is 50 mil. We have wasted valuable time for the player to join and get settled in for the sake of haggling over a few million which darei say is peanuts in this league. So lets just pay the 50 now, today this very second or move on as like i said he could have been here already settled in, played a game in pre season etc .

If he wasn't for sale they wouldn't have put a price on him

After we sign gylfie it's then a striker mate so let's hope there's room for more

@davek is currently spot on about Moshiri;
a-- He stated as fact that our best players wouldn't be sold....
b-- He's not exactly thrown money around last summer when he should have done and also now
c-- Weve basically broken even and in @davek 's eyes we have sold in order to overpay on some players.

What I don't agree with him about is about all the transfer business in itself, I think we've made some good signings especially Keane and Pickford. These two will be lynchpins and top quality for us. Both will be starters for England before long.

If we come out of the window having spent anything under 50mil net then in my opinion we have failed in strengthening the squad in key positions or we have managed to land some real bargains.

If we drop 50mil on Sigurdsson then it makes no sense to me why we haven't gone for a superstar centre back for the same price...

Its all about opinions but imo if we don't go after a super centre back then I wont be happy....likewise if we blow 30mil on a soon to be 31 year old Giroud when Dolberg could be attainable....illogical moves.

Were not going to smash the top 4 next season so its best to go for the youth and build a team...not drop 80mil on a soon to be 28 and 31 year old.

It's bull Lukaku moaned for a long time and wanted to go what can we do? Stones was not even the best defender let alone the best player. A defender can't defend and we got a great price at the time.

Look how many U23 players this club has signed over the summer. And Pickford, Keane, Sandro, Henry and Klaassen are all under 24. This club has invested in youth in view of making money in the future. What's wrong if we spend to sign 2 proven PL players in Siguardsson and Giroud to mix with the squad? They will give us much needed instant quality.
