Thank god the ITK's are around to provide us with fully sourced cast-iron updates during these stressful times.

Rest easy Mike, Watched Toffee got this for us now and is keeping us right up to date with the developments only him and a select few others would know about.

Gotta be one of the worst out there to lol

We are paying what it takes to get him here, fine. If the manager wants him then hope we get him.

My concern is whether him being our record signing is going to be too much of a burden on him. By all accounts he is a boring type of player, just gets on with the job and doesn't stand out in a good team. I get the feeling some fans will put too much expectation on him based solely on price tag

As long as he scores 20 and has 30 assists mate I don't think any one of us will be on his back

I don't know what accounts you've been reading, but he's nothing like that...

I agree though. People need to get a sense of perspective when it comes to anybody's price tag, though we should expect Gylfi to be hitting higher numbers than Ross assist/goals wise...

I have an issue with all this "Sigurdsson moving closer to Everton", "Progress being made", "Transfer nearing completion". How much progress can be made before the signs. I know he is in a different country but he could have walked to Liverpool and back a couple of times.
This transfer saga is definitely of Icelandic proportions.

In 10 Months time, who will have a Champions League Winners medal ROSS or Gylfi ? It certainly won't be Gylfi.

Stating the obvious. Well done, you'll probably win the Predictor League with that sort of insight

Is ROSS an acronym for something?

So would Siggy if he was joining one of the top 4....but he's not.

A little update from my friend at Swansea last night, the deal is on, talks progressed yesterday afternoon (no surprises!). The interesting part is that they enquired about James McCarthy as part of a deal. They have also gone and bid for the midfielder we were after in France (Seri?) in the last day so they are already starting to spend the money.

How's the £65m bid for VvD going?

 

[NCLBlue]

The ridiculous prices when I visited Reykjavik in December reflect in this price. But it was worth it to see the Norhern Lights - and Gylfi will be too, come on home you Icelandic God of War and Set Pieces.

Very honourable of you to self-index like that.

Announced tomorrow.

A much needed boost after our European exit.
