Transfer Rumour Gylfi Sigurdsson

[davek]

Agree. Gylfi isn't worth the money being mentioned. Dave, Everton are far from from becoming a laughing stock - quite the opposite.
C'mon mate, I accept you're a glass half empty kinda guy, and the glass is dirty, but this is a seriously poor effort at wumming.
I want to take your arguments seriously, but comments like this leave me cold.

You think Pickford at £30M and Sigurdsson if he came at £40+M would be reasonable and justifiable?!

All our signing so far will turn out to be value for money although Pickford is the biggest gamble.

It's just the market.

However we shouldn't be spending silly money on players over 25.

When you think we got £100m for lukaku and have signed 7 to boost the squad you can't complain. Especially when it's not your money

Just the market?

Can you tell me who else are paying drunken sailor prices consistently like we are in this league right now?

I find it all quite seedy, tbh. And I think a lot of people will become VERY uncomfortable and wary if this Sigurdsson robbery takes place.

And even with this spending - such are the talents we're getting shut of - it still will be either a negative net spend or small net spend.

We are selling our jewels here and getting back for the same money a load of tat apart from Keane.

No mark clubs are taking us up a blind alley and mugging us and laughing as they run off with the cash. It's embarrassing.

What jewels Dave?

Lukaku who painfully clearly wanted out, your honestly want to keep a player that determined to leave?

Deulofeu? Couldn't stop that mate as it was a buy back clause given the nod by Bobby.

Who else? Cleverley, LOL he

So its not the players you object to, just the fees paid?

In that case, you might wanna give the footy a miss after this season, cos fees are only going 1 way.

Anybody who knows even the slightest thing about football can see that the starting XI is being strengthened more by each window.

In January it was Schneiderlin, now it is the goalkeeping position, Keane to replace an ageing Jags, Klaassen to give us more goals from midfield, Sandro to give us more mobility up top.

100m in this market looks a bargain for Rom. They will get 7 or 8 years out of him.

 

[davek]

Fair enough but what would you personally value a lad who scored 14 goals in la liga at 21?

Haven't seen him. Seems good value at £5M or whatever. We wait and see. As said, I commented on those I've seen.

Swansea boss Paul Clement admits the "business side to football" means the club may have to sell Gylfi Sigurdsson.

The Swans have set an asking price of £50m for the midfielder after rejecting a £40m bid from Leicester.

Sigurdsson has three years left on his contract but, having sold Jack Cork to Burnley, Clement says he cannot guarantee the Icelandic playmaker will remain at the Liberty Stadium.

"I've made it very clear I want him to stay here," said Clement.

"The fans want that, the owners would like that but, ultimately, there's a business side to football as well.

"We had that situation with Jack Cork. In the summer there was no thought of moving Jack on but it got to a point when another club came in with a really good offer.

"That might end up being the case with Gylfi. We don't know yet."

Sigurdsson captained Swansea in the second half of their 1-0 friendly defeat at Barnet on Wednesday.

Goalkeeper Erwin Mulder and midfielder Roque Mesa made their Swans debuts as their League Two opponents won thanks to a first-half goal from John Akinde.

But all eyes were on Sigurdsson, whose future Clement wants to be resolved as soon as possible.

"You don't want to be in a situation where it's dragging on through July and all through August, when the season's started, with the situation not being resolved. The sooner the better," the former Bayern Munich assitant manager added.

"I don't know how people are going to behave in the future. I know the kind of character I worked with last year - someone who's very professional.

"He's come back, he's got his head down and he's doing his work, so I hope that continues.

"He's one of our most valuable players. He showed that last season with his goals and his assists, and he was instrumental in us maintaining our Premier League status."



Welcome to Everton Iceland.

Barkley and Lukaku. They join the sale of Stones last season and tell you all you need to know about this current regime that came in promising to keep all the club's best players.

First three windows of them in place = a massive exercise in churn.

I find it appalling that so many have simply gone for the big swoon over paying ridiculous prices that;s come out of the players sold so far.

Sigurdsson at £40M or so would just be an outrageous step too far.

Get out of this thread now.

I like this game. We should actually have sold Rom for £150m and then gone and bought Messi, Suarez and Neymar for £50m each. Maybe you should identify the players that you think are of equivalent quality to the ones we have bought that have gone for less money elsewhere and would have been willing to join us. I'm all ears.

A step too far for a significant upgrade to our squad?
