Transfer Rumour Gylfi Sigurdsson

[ultra]

Just seen this on Swansea City Forum

Simon Davies‏ @simondavies45 36m36 minutes ago BBC radio wales reporter

Just had a text from source at Swansea that "no deal has been agreed" with Everton for Sigurdsson. BUT paper speculation is intensifying

That is standard response when clubs are in negotiation and considerably softer than the "we don't want to sell him" from the last few weeks.
Recent press reports have suggested that Gylfi is now "open" to a move to us: I imagine our purchases so far have indicated our ambition to him and he probably fancies it now, whereas he wasn't bothered before. Hopefully just a matter of time now...

I will set up a blockade around Greggs. He'll not last the hour.

They said the same about a day before we signed Williams

Ross is leaving. Get used to the idea.

Forgot about this. It took about 12 hours to convince Swansea to take the money

True that, we also said a few days ago "no deal has been agreed" in regards to Lukaku, I think this is on

Gylfi Sigurðsson would be an amazing signing. To score 30 goals for a desperately poor Swansea team in just 3 seasons is no mean feat.

And his all-round game is far superior to that of Barkley.

This would mean we'd have Barkley, Lookman, Sandro, Mirallas, Rooney, Lennon, Bolasie, Klaassen, Niasse and Sigurdsson all capable of playing in the " supporting forward/winger" positions?

It'd suggest a bit of a clear out in that position is on the way, which I'd be all for. We've been pretty average there for a couple of seasons.

Just had a look on their fans forum. They are resigned to losing him, 30m being the fee mentioned.

Would rather spend the money on another c/b or forward,I don't think he is needed especially when Ross signs up.

Hi mate how did the laser eye surgery go?

I've already got my phone set to big writing mate, so your post has gone off the screen.

Wow, genuinely forgot he was still at the club. Traditional wingers seem to be out of fashion under Koeman so for a front 3 that's actually not too many players with the amount of games next season.
