We wouldn't pay that much for Siggurdson imo, it'd be between 30-35. But he's twice the player of tadic, who I wouldn't say is proven at all. Don't know his stats, but he's been here a few seasons now and done nowt. Is he even a saints regular? A prime example of a creative player who looks brilliant on the sub continent, but finds the prem a lot tougher. Something we know wouldn't be an issue for Siggurdson vs someone from Europe.

He's 29. Big fish in a small pond who failed in a big pond (Spurs). The fee and the wages to me don't seem justifiable when you could probably get a Fabregas for eg.

I like him. He's worth buying. But not for the figures branded. No way to be the top earner and our biggest transfer for a few corners and freekicks.

Even IF Barry, Besic and McCarthy all left we wouldn't need two cm's.

We'd still have Schneiderlin, Gueye, Davies, Klassen competing for 3 positions and judging by the inclusion of Walsh on the bench for a fair few games late last seaosn he may very well figure for next season at least in cup/eufa dead rubber games

At Most we need another 1 - someone who can play more than just central mid ideally, hence why Dendoncker and Blind would both be good shouts (but probably not at the prices they'd cost as neither would start for us)

We have WAY more concerns atm in the squad rather than looking to add another centre midfield -christ it's by a mile the best part of the team

If we are going to play with 3 centre mid players we will need atleast 5 if not 6 to provide cover in case of injuries and suspensions. If we have good cup runs we could be playing 55+ games next seasons.

Which is why I said if we sell Barry McCarthy and besic we'd need to buy one mate, atm we have 7.
 

Love Siggy me but agree that 40m is madness.

Tadic would be cheaper but would also not be an improvement on what we have, he is ok but not more really.
