Player Valuation: £70m
Have to agree with this.
Siggurdson is a very good player.
But we need better than that to muscle in on Chelsea, Spurs and City.
Unfortunately if him/Rooney/Hart are the level our fans want us to aim for in the summer then we will only finish around 7th. (For what it is worth i don't think any of those players will end up here in the summer)
Whilst I agree that our 6 rivals wouldn't sign him, I'd disagree that he won't improve us beyond 7th. He'd be a very good player joining a set of largely good-very good players. I think we need to reach that tipping point first where we've got great depth, then one or two worldies needed to kick us on to the next level will actually consider us. Right now I'm not convinced they would sign for us. Chelsea and City certainly weren't signing top players this early on.
