£40m Bid Made For Sigurdsson

[mill]

Remember when loads of people thought £24m was silly for Schneiderlin?

I reckon by the end of the window £40m+ won't seem so expensive.

We will be a laughing stock of we pay over 40 million. Who else will pay this? We need to walk away asap

No.

We were a laughing stock when we brought in Mcgeady. We were a laughing stock when we brought in Beckford, and Strac, Alcaraz et all.

Now we'll be a laughing stock by bringing in a decent midfielder ? Get a grip

When was the last time we actually took a good free kick or corner?

Btw I wouldn't even expect Silva or De Bruyne to create chances in that Swansea side.

What else is he meant to do, except aim for head's of big lumps?

Posted this last night.

Apart from Puncheon, Kolarov and Toure, I'd say people would be more than happy to spend £40m on every other player on that list.

I do think we are overpaying, probably by £10m at least, but it's what Swansea are demanding and he's a prime target.

We don't mess around now.

I'm nervous about this deal. Tbh he not worth 40 million nevermind 50 mil.

His age is a concern. He could have an injury like Boalsie. There got to be better value abroad. Isn't this why we signed Walsh.

Yes mate. And we now have Lookman, DCL, Sandro, Gueye, Bowler, Onyekuro...

Stop fretting fella. The management team has got this.

10 mil in prem money is like 20 quid for me and you mate.

So many people stuck in the moyes era on here. The same posters probably restrict there partners spending to £2 a week and then scrutinise what the £2 was spent on..

Hmmm, no sign of Barkley in the elite there I see

 

[Bally8]

The simple fact is he

Scored more off corners than Swansea last season I believe

 

[bluestevon]

Will add something to that list of stats mate, which IMO is important and no ones commented on it.

Swansea averaged 48.1% possession

looking at the rest of the players in that list and their teams

Spurs - 57.1%
Arsenal - 56.7%
rs - 57.9%
Chelsea - 53.6%
City - 60.6%


Common sense would say, the more you have the ball as a team, the more chances you are gonna be able to have a chance to create with that possession?

We may have to overpay a bit but when Jack Cork costed £10m Kyle Walker costed £50m then £40m for our prime target is ok. The market has inflated. A lot. £10m is like £2.5m 2/3 years ago.

I am slowly coming round to the idea of signing Sigurdsson after spending most of the window praying we didn't sign him. I believe the club are just waiting for my blessing before they make a move.

Yes. And £30-35m is like the new £15m!

Well said. Exactly what I was thinking. It's not our money get it spent Mosh. The lot of it. COYB.

 

[TheBigIguana]

Not adding much? really?

Sky sports, oh I see now. Ha Ha

My favorite thing from this is the graphic showing expected assists that says he has a big gap between expected and actual while Eriksen above him has practically exactly the same gap
