£40m Bid Made For Sigurdsson

[Charles Hawtrey]

If we don't get this one done this week we may have to put his arm in a cast.

Smells of another haggling for a few million as with Schneiderlin.
This needs to be done this week so the player can get back to training, before he "needs a month to get back to fitness" rubbish.

Totally agree.

 

[tommytowne]

Never mind "needs to be done this week" rubbish.
I have been sick to the back teeth with reports of a done deal, signing tomorrow poo and so on.
Should have been signed sealed delivered well by now.

 

[Bluebonic]

I reckon we have let it be known to (to the player or his agent) that are going no higher than we have already bid and it is now up to them to agitate for a move. The Swansea chairman will be starting to get the sweats if it goes on much longer as he wont have time to get a decent replacement, and that could cost them their place in the prem!

 

[billyblue80]

Why are we prepared to pay 45M but definitely not 50M - what Rubicon lies between the two?

Face saving, on both sides. You know the drill, we will report it as 45 million, they will report it as 50million , 40 upfront ten in add ons.

Let Sigurson/Sigurdsson make the next move. If he wants to join Everton, he will hand in a transfer request.

Wanted this done earlier so he could get game time against Sevilla. Only played 45 mins all pre season, i think that was against Barnet..

 

[TyphooToffee]

I recall Sandros' pre-signing thread running to about 470 pages. I think Iceland is going to surpass that

We're signing Iceland? What, all of it?

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

Getting a bit silly this now to be fair, just get it over the line Everton.

 

[TyphooToffee]

You can't lurk anywhere

I should be so lurky
Lurky, lurky, lurky

Mmmm, Kylie

 

[KevMirallas]

His own captain reckons he's off. Slap that SportPesa on his chest Walsh.

 

[madden95]

Will be happy when this is completed hoping it is sooner rather than later as he hasnt played barely any games. can see why it's taking so long he is swansea main focal point off the team in the past they have fended off interest. its just we have been more persistent this time.

 

[Soap]

This is done. Not keen on the signing but will get behind him.

I live just a few miles from Swansea and have a few friends there telling me they've been told Siggy is going to Everton 100%.

 

[BlueToff]

What about the possibility that we're just simply negotiating over how to structure our record-transfer deal (at the very least £15m more than the record we set earlier in the window) and that's why there's a hold-up...

Instead of all this "we're haggling over a few million" stuff, which we don't know is the case?

But how do I figure out who to be angry with if I don't make up things that people did wrong?
