£40m Bid Made For Sigurdsson

[Pejic300]

Mahrez showed last season how much hunger he has left.

ZERO.

Perhaps he needs to share his secret with Ashley Williams.

£40m+ should be buying you top players from top teams who have proven themselves at the higher levels, not from a team that barely escaped relegation.

That said, I still want Sigi. Make it happen, mosh.

It should, but people have to get used to this new market.
Wolves have signed some no mark for £15 million. Huddersfield are paying £11 million for a player I've never heard of.
Maguire of Hull went for about £17 million.
Nothing is as it was.

Us being ruthless and utterly professional is quite nice to see.
I'm 98.4% sure that Siggy will sign for us.

A big barometer for me was realising how unconcerned I was with (former PL champions) Leiecester's interest in Sigurdsson.

To a point.

Until the Swansea supporters trust thing sold up to the Mericans, they were doing sound, even a pot. Their season was shot cos of the idiot they bought in as manager, after they booted Monk.

£50m is nuts for Sigs imo, but if thats the price, and we want him, well, thats the price. #stones.

But they won't sign for us yet

Kyle bleading Walker is going for £50m+.

I also totally don't buy the whole 'premier league proven' thing, just about every best player in the league came from abroad, you just have to be clever with it. I don't think we're being clever with our money, that's all.

I don't think anyone is claiming players from foreign leagues can't be a success, that would be insane. But it is much less risky buying a player that has already proven they can play in the premier league as loads of good players from abroad fail to adapt. Buying a player from abroad is like betting on an outside bet rather than the favourite.

 

[Woolly Blue]

Could you be more specific, I'm a bit worried about that remaining 1.6% of doubt

I have concerns about him slipping in his lovely kitchen and breaking his leg mate.

FFS don't mention Stones
The guarantee hasn't run out yet and City still have the receipt.
I'm surprised Moshiri hasn't been charged with obtaining money under false pretences for that transfer

Kyle bleading Walker is going for £50m+.

He's come along way since moyes refused him as an extra in a deal to sign Kyle Naughton hasn't he?whatever happened to him btw

If you don't know Bros are you're way too young

I appreciate that is what most people think but I wonder if it holds up statistically.

For example we've signed plenty of players (James Beattie, Andy Johnson, Simon Davies) who haven't replicated their form with us for various reasons.

Wrap him up in bubble wrap.

Wolves' signing is one of the best of the whole transfer window, Ruben Neves for £15m is thievery, and to a Championship club as well. It's a slightly dodgy thing cos of their manager/the agent, some weird backscratching thing going down

 

[Woolly Blue]

Wrap him up in bubble wrap.

Bit kinky, but yea, why not.
