Lol couldn't make it up. Didn't think I'd say it this summer but it's Everton that.

If Barkley is sold then we magically sign sig then that will tell me everything about our on field ambitions.
 
Oh the fume in here will be immense tonight
I don't know if it will.

Like me, I'm sure folk want the player but are a little shocked at the size of the fee thrown around. I'll be glad if it happens but I won't cry over this one as I'm still not sure there's much point to him without a target man to supply.

That said, The Telegraph have run a story that is more than plausible. We've been known to renege on agreed deals and try to renegotiate before.
 


Seems like one of the clubs has leaked this as an ultimatum. The story says we had submitted an offer and revoked it after a few days. Does that mean we offered what Swansea wanted and they sat on it and did nothing or we didn't offer enough but they didn't reject it? All a bit odd

BREAKING NEWS

It is understood talks have broken down between Everton and Swansea over a deal for Gylfi Sigurdsson.

We understand a deal is now in jeopardy after more than five weeks of negotiations.

One source has suggested a verbal agreement was reached between the two clubs, only for Everton to withdraw the offer 48 hours later and refer back to a previous offer, understood to be around £40m.

There’s now a fear at Goodison Park that soured relations may scupper the process completely, seriously hampering Ronald Koeman’s and Paul Clement’s planned transfer dealings over the next three weeks.

Sky Sports News understands that the two clubs are less than £5m apart on a fee, with Sigurdsson’s wages not expected to be a problem.
