The Times are running the same Gylfi story. Seems wages are the only hold up. Encouraging.

Everton are understood to have agreed a fee of £25 million with Swansea City for Gylfi Sigurdsson — but the midfielder has rejected the Merseyside club’s offer of £100,000 a week in wages.

Sigurdsson scored nine and created 13 league goals as he helped to steer Swansea away from relegation. The Iceland international earns about £80,000 a week at Swansea but is holding out for an increase to £130,000 to join Everton.

Swansea accept that their 27-year-old playmaker is certain to leave and have had interest from other Premier League clubs, including Southampton. Sigurdsson was voted player of the year for a second consecutive season by Swansea supporters last week and also won the award for the players’ player of the year."

So much for being loaded. Thought we were billionaires?
 

Ross ? Rom ? Rooney ? and all the other rumours..... TBH I just want our business done early for once.
We will know a lot more about Moshiri / Koeman after this summer's window.
 
We should sign Pickford asap...no messing around, they have no manager now so will be more eager to do a deal to entice a new manager with transfer funds.

Koulibaly or Sanchez
Van Dijk or Lemos

Two 50mil rated players or their two 20-25mil rated junior clones. Power and Pace.

Dolberg. If Koeman is saying we need top players then this guy is going to be world class.

Then bring in a couple of u21 players ready for the first team.

But we need to act now.
 
I still say Sigurdsson and Ross would do well together. We will see about Ross maybe tomorrow.

If we got either one of VVD or Koulibaly, I'd be stoked. I also really like Lemos, but if we are also going to pull in a Pickford who isn't really dominant in the air, we simply need a CB that is. Lemos is not. Doesn't mean we shouldn't go after him, but we aren't dropping 200M, so we can't sign everyone.
 
£130k p/w for Sigurdsson?! You having a laugh you Icelandic void. He's pretty good but at his age expecting a £50k p/w raise is absurd. Swerve.

Also, talking to the Spurs lads in my office, none of us can even see why they'd go for Barkley or why he'd consider them. Not a single player in their starting XI he's better than.

I think it's very high wages, but if we are aiming to be a big team we are going to have to step up by paying higher wages, that's just the way it is nowadays. I think he would do very well here, also he seem decent sort of bloke which would mean it's likely he would come in and not upset things. Come on Everton get him signed up early.

I don't mind the idea of signing him but £25m and making him by far our highest earner would upset the balance. Fair few more players in the squad would expect a raise as well.

If we've agreed to pay £25m without the usual protracted negotiation that follows our initial low offer then I think it's a big step in the right direction.

I reckon after last years debacle with Bill and Bob in charge Moshiri has kicked a few backsides and told them not to mess around and get Ron what he's asked for

Fans expect that some of those players will be shown the door.
