he's not 28
and it's not a poor investment.
Like Bolasie, he improves the side in an area that needed improvement. Simple.

he just missed a free holiday to usa
Do you, like me, wish that he could get a manager gig like Gary Neville and then come back suitably chastened? It might reduce that amount of wham he posts.

There is no harm in having different opinions, that's all fine and debate makes things interesting.
What is very dull though is hijacking every thread with negativity just because he still has a stiffy for Martinez so takes that out on everything the club are doing, even throws constant venom at Baines who clearly sussed Martinez out as well.
You know this to be the case, don't play possum and pretend you don't see it.
Our model appears to be following the Chelsea, then City model of spending significantly larger amounts on PL players.
Chelsea spent £20mill on Duff, £11.5mill on Parker, £8mill each for Bridge, Cole and Johnson then followed it up with £26millon SWP. Those fees were back in 2004 -2006!!!
City spent £24 mill each on Adebayor, Lescott and Tevez, with £15mill on Kolo Toure and £18mill spent on Santa Cruz! They folloewd that up with £18mill on Milner. That was back in 2009 - 2011.

So rumours this is done?
Get in the bin lad. You show me one single post in all his history that our lemon headed one ever made where he was open minded and listened. You've not a leg to stand on.

One part of me is fuming at the thought of us paying 50m for him.
Then I think about it, and begin to realise maybe for once we are actually minted, super stuff.

Well done.
The money being reported is just crazy, you cannot deny that.
I get the idea, he's "PL proven" and as close to hit the ground running as one can be but at that price tag this just makes absolutely no sense. He had, what, 3 assists from open play all last season?
Think about this way, where he is playing in the PL, he's never been 'THE guy' in a big team. With THAT price tag, he's going to be expected to be one. Big fish/small pond vs big fish/MASSIVE pond. Thats a massive amount of expectation being put on him simply because of the money involved.

@davek main concern is not siguardsson's ability but more so the price. I too rate siguardsson highly and I believe he would be a good acquisition to the squad. However I'm guessing a minimum 40m fee and wages in excess of 100k a week, is an outlay by the club of 60m pounds over the duration of a 4 year contract. In effect it's costing us 15m a season to have him here, with significantly reduced resale value due to his age. I think any supporter is within their right to question that sort of outlay.
I can't speak for Dave mate, I'm sure he would admit to plenty he's got wrong over the years, everyone has mate.

Can you all stop talking about him FFS? Jesus christ.
I think Gylfi is an excellent player, and I really like that Everton are being aggressive with our money. Aggressive is what we need to bridge the gap.

Oooh, all serious. Sometimes irony/gentle piss-taking is totally lost on some people...
