£40m Bid Made For Sigurdsson

[matty1878]

£40m turned down according to SSN

Sky are useless now days they will come later or tomorrow with "improved offer accepted"

I know its all relative to other signings in this current market, but if you think about it £40m for this player is way over the odds.

Not really.

I mean, we're going to be overpaying yeh, but not by too much.

Contributed directly to 23 goals last season. He created 77 chances. He's brilliant from set-pieces and his all-round game is superb.

Lacks pace but makes up for that in power and vision, and can play anywhere behind the striker.

Proven Premier League quality. Maybe £30m is more his value, but Swansea don't want to sell, so that's where the premium comes in.

40 plus 10% extra in add-ons. Seems fine, seeing as we paid nearly 30m for Bolasie!! Probably end up "undisclosed fee"

Don't remind us

 

[Zatara]

Too old for you ain't it lad.

Where's the excitement?

Give them Niasse and £40m. Sell one get one free.

 

[nsno-chris]

I'm bored with the new Ev throwing money around for fun. Give me the days of transfer deadline day garbage

 

[BlueToff]

We'll get him.

 

[ad4amt]

fair play to Swansea for not budging

 

[BlueToff]

Walk away blues, walk away.......I love our new attitude, but let's not be silly......

If Koeman wants him, we're getting him.

Just accept it.

We'll pay what's required and what we see is right for us.

Seriously we've waited years and years to be able to do this people need to chill and enjoy the ride!

 

[AsiaAsia82]

£40m on a position we already have filled, then how much are we going to spend on a striker?!? Wow, hold tight!!

 

[Nymzee]

Where's the excitement?

Out of those 6, playing in a 4-3-1-2, what would you ideally change to line up against Stoke?

How many direct free kicks has he scored since 2012/3 ? any ideas?

 

[hktoffee]

Come on Sigurdsson, put in a transfer request to force the move. FC Sexy is waiting.

If Ross is off, we need it.

If Ross stays, we've got one hell of a squad.

You think Pickford at £30M and Sigurdsson if he came at £40+M would be reasonable and justifiable?!

Looks like West Ham are going to have to go at least as high as 25-30 Million for Arnautivic, with Stoke already turning down 15 and 20 Million bids for him. So yes, the market is out of control and is certainly a contributing factor. It's not just us over spending

That being said, 30+ for Sigurdsson is indeed above his value because of his age IMO

What I will say re Pickford is this. If he ends up coming good then 30 Million will be fair because he's still young and we'll probably get years out of him. It's all dependant on how well he does. We've taken a risk there, but I guess Walsh and Co really think he's the real deal

We'll get less out of Sigurdsson due to his age, so immediately that raises questions about the fee

Then again, I was the one banging the drum demanding we pay 50 Million for Butland, so yeah, the system is broken
