Transfer Rumour Gylfi Sigurdsson

[allen]

The rest of the league will absolutely hate us if we drive up transfer fees by paying £50 million for him.

But I think I can live with it.

 

[Kev The Rat]

Sure £50m would buy probably better players, but would they want to play here?

I do think that we have changed our strategy in that regard from last summers farce by targeting players we know we can get.
As it happens I think it would be accurate to say that of all our signings Gylfi would be the highest quality so perhaps worth the extra outlay.

I have openly stated I really like siguardsson, but I'm sorry he is not worth 50m. For that amount I'm expecting a world class player, but as you said would they come to us.
I really think you will see some departures away from the club in the near future:
Niasse, McCarthy, Miralles, Robles and Mori could well be surplus to requirements and claw back some of the money we have spent.

Ya I know that's the issue for quite a few, especially those already playing their trade at the top of their respective leagues. But there are plenty one or 2 teams down aren't there that might be tired of playing for 2nd in Germany or 3rd in France and would like to earn some Pounds.

 

[Thomasc]

Bear in mind due to the sales out we haven't spent anything thus far.

Get it spent Mosh

 

[AaronTheBlue]

Its very unlikely Swansea will receive 50m for him. And they know that, they are playing the game, they know the player wants the move and they know they could use the money.

They are just trying to get as much as possible.

I think we might be able to get him in before the end of next week for around 35m. But we will see.

For me the Swansea stance already has holes in it because they aren't ruling out a sale fully, just making themselves look strong before finally giving in.

I think until FC Sexy is regularly competing in CL football we will have to overpay for talent to come here. Once we are a more attractive destination with a shiny new waterfront stadium with the prospects of winning stuff then the potential WC type players will come.

35m + Niasse ?Deal or no deal Swansea?

 

[beachy]

Rom price = £100m. They paid £75m.
Sig price = £50m. We pay £37.5m.

Fair?

 

[helpimonfire]

I think he is deffo coming to us. Not 50 mil though.

 

[JammyP]

Rom price = £100m. They paid £75m.
Sig price = £50m. We pay £37.5m.

Fair?

Rom + Rooney
Sig + Niasse

Fair?

 

[The binman chronicles]

35m + Niasse ?Deal or no deal Swansea?

Their response will be along the lines of if you drop Niasse from the deal they'll think about it.

 

[EveBlue]

Time to walk away. we can get almost any one for 50m from the continent

 

[Moomin]

They are not in the position to reject our big offer I am afraid. If Koeman and Walsh want him they will sign him although we will overpay.

Oh god, its started.

We are starting to be like Chelsea and Man City fans.

 

[Goat]

Imagine if we pay £50m for the Sig.

Ell Bretland's head would pop.

Even @Connor would struggle but I think he'd make it through.

davek would find a way to say it wasn't Moshiri's money. And I reckon @MorgsGoat would probably be alright with it.

God help us all.

Pay the 50m, get him in and move on to the next.
