£40m Bid Made For Sigurdsson

[Milkman]

Wow, a quick double-indexing there @orly. Something weasely in the air this morning.

Swansea holding out due the 10% sell-on fee to Spurs i imagine.

Good player & i wish we hadn't sold him (so does Poch).

Still, hopefully we put the £5mn windfall towards a decent midfielder.......

Why mate, do you know of anybody ?

 

[Titus Bramble]

Not wanting to sound like you know who, but only Sandro seems like a find really, the others any of us could of probably picked and probably would of guessed a lower price.
Jury is still out on some of the younger players like Lookman, but other than Sandro, I'm a bit disappointed by Walsh, but I really hope he succeeds.

The youngsters we've signed this window?

 

[Professor Toffee]

Tomorrow, according to a taxi driver this morning, taps nose

Moshiri drives a taxi?

 

[formerly manx toffee]

To be honest I'm not sure he is overly bothered, if he wanted to come he would have put a transfer request in, but he is more interested about losing his Swansea lotalty payment

Couple of million quid. I might want to keep that.

Get a grip.

You really think that Moshiri has said to Walsh 'here's the kitty lad, go and spend what you like'?

The proposal to make an initial offer of £40m will have been discussed between Walsh, Koeman, Kenwright, Moshiri and maybe others. But the ultimate decision will have been personally sanctioned by Moshiri. Absolutely no doubt. And the increment to £45m, the same. And every other increment.

You really think that spending almost twice the club record will be down to just Walsh?

Have a think about it will ya...

Not what I meant, I said if we end up paying £50m because Walsh hasn't identified a suitable alternative to Siggy (e.g. plan B) then that would be a failure on his part.

Got a fella in mind apparently

Isn't viera the plan B? Or was that just a ploy by Everton to get Swansea to agree to the deal.

Has he just turned down a contract offer by any chance???

 

[BlueToff]

To put this deal into perspective - yet again - Leeds are wanting £20m for Chris Wood.

Twenty.

Million.

Pounds.

As if the playing at Wembley wasn't a big enough burden for you to carry, now you may have the precious RB to worry about as well.

Why are we mentioning him?

World has gone absolutely mad.

And to counter that - yet again - the fact that some players are overpriced does not mean there is no value in the market. Not sure about you but in my opinion, Chris Wood is probably not 4 times as good as Sandro, or better than Jermain Defoe or Javier Hernandez. So all that news does for me is reinforces that you can be fleeced but don't need to be.

Ignoring all the other players we've bought like

As was pointed out previously
Sandro Rooney ( with half his wages paid upfront ) and Siggy for 56m
Not bad in today's market.
These lads know what they are doing
I fully realise they don't play FIFA 17 and may not even own a PlayStation
But a lad who is worth a few quid thinks it's worth paying them a nice salary to do this.
