Gylfi Sigurdsson Deal Agreed

[Jamiednm]

...why passively sell him to a team who are going to compete with and generally why sell your highest quality player.

I really dont accept he wanted therefore he should go argument.

Loosing him weakens us and makes a closer rival stronger, if as i said Utd finish ahead of us then we have ourselves and our decision making process to blame.

I agree with your sentiment about selling to a rival and that we should have added a premium for selling to them, but if players want to go, they will go - that's the reality these days whether we accept it or not.

And we haven't finished buying......

Naughty

Player sales

And the 60m bank credit we have

Barry has gone for about 1m. You think McCarthy, Robles, and Niasse will get you 29m?

I will have some of what you're smoking thanks.

Not that I agree with the posters argument, but the 3 players do in turn get you over £30m in todays market.

McCarthy will go for around £18m
Robles will go for around 5/6M
Niasse you will get 6/7M

Plus the 1M from Barry.

£20m, £5m, £4m respectively? Don't think it's that crazy a suggestion.

Apparently this guy is ridiculously fit. Never even noticed him run before.

433km (or something) last season. More than any other player in the Prem.

 

[Neiler]

Nope, im pretty sure we finished below United WITH Lukaku.

Utd finished about us without Lukaku also works. Exactly my point is wan unnecessary for us to strengthen them with our best player.

Based on recent sales, McCarthy himself could command close to that...mad...but true

 

[Toffeeslam]

Well ffs we are bankrupt

We can just flog Elstone's supply of fake tan bottles and sunbed tanning vouchers mate.

Will make a huge difference

It's because he doesn't run. He glides.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

The excuses will be flying in thick and fast from the usual suspects.

We took Uniteds record goalscorer.

It's predictable as day and night. Something else negative will occupy their mind until then.

you know what, you're not wrong. He reminds me of Federer in that he never seems to rush or hurry to be in the right place.

 

[Connor]

His announcement video is literally going to be him stumbling into Koeman's press conference in 20 minutes and going "Sorry lads, wrong room"
