£40m Bid Made For Sigurdsson

[davek]

Wait till Sept Dave and then judge
If you are indeed correct I'll be the first to say you were right and I'd hope you would be man enough to come out and say you're wrong with no ifs buts or excuses if I'm proven right

There's little doubt we'll see no major net spend this window once all that are leaving leave. There's, imo, another probably (conservatively) £50M-£60M to come in from Barkley and McCarthy and Niasse. We, in fact, with McGeady's sale are now £15M in the black. So we'd have to see another £65M-£70M spent to just have zero net spend.

Time for people to just accept this is our familiar churn when all is said and done. The reason it's a lot of big prices is because this club is throwing good money at less than stellar players and we're selling a lot of the squad.

Kenwright could have sanctioned that too. Anyone could.

We have an owner who doesn't spend a red cent; just as we had before he arrived.

Davek demanded all last season that we signed Iceland cos he was soooooooooooooo good, so just when we are about to sign him he complains that hes gonna cost too much.

lollollol

It is a bit baffling like. Coupled with the fact he wants us to spend the green, and we have an owner that doesn't dip his hand in the pot

Davek, where do you sit at the match? Just out of interest.

He switches the light off and prays for something to moan about.

 

[davek]

But you cant even find fault with any of the players, your only complaint is that "We paid too much", its laughable really.

Im curious who you even blame for this?

Really? Pickford and Klaassen look bog standard to me and I said so from day one.

 

[PITA]

We're actually 4th favourite for the Europa.

Is that to get out of our group?

To be honest if Koeman is right and we only go for 1/2 more then it's hard to disagree with your post.

People are complaining about this window? Wow

Are they really lol,one of the best windows ive ever seen Everton have in my life

 

[helpimonfire]

The market is insane

But Siggy is boss dudes.

Why is it? It's perfectly logical to rate someone like Siggurdson and still think it makes no sense to spend £40 million + on him.

£250k.

I hope it keeps you up at night.

 

[ilikecheese]

Probably want Everton, Moshiri and Koeman to fail.

Nah...Dave's a blue through and through.

He's great...I was just teasing with that remark.

He wants what's best for the mighty Bloos just like we all do. He just has contrary views on how to get there.

 

[davek]

But if we buy Sigurdsson for anything between 40 - 50m that takes our spend to 150m pounds. That's quite a sum over the 108m taken in Dave so that negates your arguement surely?? Its not just player recycling. Yes there is an element of that, just like at every football club going but there is also funds available to strengthen the squad as the manager sees fit over and above. If that means obscene amounts of money at players, then that's what it is. Enjoy spending some cash for once...

No, we will see Barkley + Niasse + McCarthy all sold.

My estimate for player sales this summer is £165M-£175M.

 

[davek]

Not really. I know I'm right on the cash overspend; and I'll eventually be proven conclusively right on how bang average some of these players are.

I sleep the sleep of the righteous.

 

[davek]

Where on earth do all of these midfield players fit in?

It's like Spurs under Redknapp. They must have to lock some up in cupboards.
