£40m Bid Made For Sigurdsson

Status
Not open for further replies.
This is getting annoying this. How hard is it to sort this deal out. Swansea want £50m, we bid £45m.... so meet at £47.5m.

We are going up in small increments until they accept the bid, unfortunately FA rules dictate that an official bid can only be made every 24 hours, hence the hold up until we eventually reach the figure they want..

would you prefer we overpaid?

The bid was rejected 21 days ago - It's become a pathetically dull affair

Upping the offer by 240k a day. Come 'ed Bill.
 
Daft amount of money for Sigurdsson. At the moment we have Rooney/Davies/Klassen/Mirallas and possibly Barkley who can all play that position. Yea he's a dead ball specialist but really, 30m tops. Take all that money and plough it in to replacing Lukaku
 
I don't pretend to know anything about transfers but something is not quite right here.

Are we just not agreeing on a figure and payment method/terms or is there some other reason.
Both clubs seem fine to bide their time. I wouldn't be surprised if there was some totally different reason for the delay and both clubs have agreed to keep stum.
 

It will all come out in the wash in Bills memoirs this.

Swansea..........don't want to sell and don't want Clement to get his hands on the proceeds either at all, or until its too late.

Everton.............never wanted to pay £50m and can't afford the down payment until Barkley is sold.

Conspiracy theories abound.

Gone beyond tedious this. Talk about waiting to see the guy holding up the shirt. Can't believe anything you hear/read on this, even Koeman appears to be mostly in the dark.

Transfers and player contracts are worth so much there could be so many reasons for a hold up. Each club is well within their rights to squeeze as much value out of the deal as possible (it's been suggested that swansea want us to pay the sell on clause value to Spurs which we don't want to do as a potential example), and that's before you get to the player contract with image rights and sponsorships etc.

It is a frustrating wait, but I don't personally think it's anything to worry about yet

Or he's holding out for say AC Milan to bid... I mean like you say conspiracy theories aye? Nobody knows nothing but I can bet my house he signs this week.
