Even that's a bit steep.
Unless we have unlimited amounts of cash to spend, £50m (double'ish the price of Morgan) would mean he'd have to be the final piece in the jigsaw. He isn't, so like you say, around the £30m range would be about right. Still don't know where he fits in though?

It's the going rate I don't get how people aren't grasping these new ridiclous fees lol. It's a squad game pal he will fit in Somewere ;)
 
I don't really blame Swans for shooting for the moon with an insane price tag. However there are what 10? clubs in the world who could afford that kind of money (unless he's keen on playing in China). Just hold your ground at 30M as there doesn't appear to be anyone else interested. I'm also sure if the transfer falls apart there are definitely a few good players out there who could be bought for 30M.
 

The club should have signed all the main targets before we sold Lukaku. Ok maybe they have tried.

Now all these clubs want our Lukaku money.

He's worth more to them than he is to us though. Without him they'll probably go down. But I agree that we shouldn't pay much more than £30m for him.
 
We have paid 30 million for Keane who had 12 months left. Sold lukaku for 75 so sig will be in the middle around 50 million but he 28 so take 10 million off so I come to a fee of 40 million.
Is he worth this
 

This lad is too limited at £32mil for me but £50mil is getting to our level of highway robbery. Please just move on blues.
 
The limited player tag with Sigurdsson is unfair. Spurs fans still love him and do not remember him as just a dead-ball specialist. Put him in a team with better players he will have more options and can reasonably be expected to perform better in open play whilst still being ace at set pieces and working his bollocks off to press and track back.

The fee won't be £50m but nobody can blame Swansea for trying. We're doing the same with Ross who is younger but who also has only one year left on his contract. More TV money always brings higher fees and higher wages. Ultimately if Koeman really wants him, and he does, I'd hate the Board to miss out on him over price. We'll pay near £40m with add-ons so Swans can claim mid 40s I expect.

Some will fume, others will shrug. It just feels worse because the deal will be after not before selling Rom so it feels more like half of that fee reinvested.
