BREAKING NEWS

25/07/17

Well that was a swift response.

Sky sources understand Swansea have rejected Everton's improved bid for Gylfi Sigurdsson.

Paul Clement's side want £50m for the Iceland international.

We understand Everton's rejected offer was worth £40m plus £5m in add-ons.

They have to sell him as his head has been turned.

If they price him out of the market they end up keeping a player who is not motivated to okay for them and miss out on 40mill as well.

Everton's transfer activities really don't look great, I mean £80m for Pickford and Sigurdson just seems crazy! Why don't they just keep Barkley anyway, he's better than sigurdson?

Football at its stupidest. He didn't stand out at Tottenham, had a poor to average Euros at best and doesn't do it on a big stage.

What price is Gunnar worth compared to him ? :roll:

Everton should pull the plug on this deal, Swansea will be stuffed with a player who does not want to play for them, he will be bitter that Swansea didn't take the £45 mil for him and he will probably be sold in January for circa £25 mil loosing Swansea £20. Mil into the bargain :bluebird:

No idea where Swansea got that price tag from, to think if Swansea sell him they would have enough money for big money players. Unfortunately they are doing this to stay up. :roll:

Where did they get that price tag from?
They've made it up as they know Everton are desperate for him and they don't really want to sell.
Even in today's inflated market, he's not worth anywhere near £50mill.

The yanks will be loving this, made there money back already and now another load of cash in. As long as they can just keep them up they will be happy selling players and raking in the cash.....

It should be us guys. Our club should be in the prem. Our club should be selling players for 50million and the club further west should be valued at just 30 million.

Maybe if you do sell Sigurdsson, you'll finally start thinking about paying back the 92% of creditors you ripped off all those years ago? Whatever Swansea achieve, you'll always have to live with the fact you didn't do things the honourable way. :wave:

Goals in the past three seasons from midfielders, Alli 28, Sigurdsson 27, Mahrez 27, Coutinho 26, Eriksen 24 and Toure 21..

Assists in last three seasons Fabergas 27, Ozil 33, Eriksen, KDB 27, Sigurdsson 26 and Silva 25..

Goals involved in last three seasons Eriksen 54, Sigurdsson 53, Ozil 51, Fabergas 50, Mahrez 44 and Alli 44..

The prices are inflated at the moment but in supposedly the most toughest league in the world he's in that calibre of names for stats.. He is only 28 and obviously getting them sort of stats in that team I think he values 30 million easily.. 45 is a high amount but the fee he is attracting with them sort of stats you can't really say the price is bad for what the market is currently like.

Said it a few times, he wants away now....Swansea run the risk of this deal collapsing.....players pissed off and next summer not even worth 10million.

Re: ' Breaking News Gylfi Sigurdsson '

Wed Jul 26, 2017 9:23 pm

That's the problem for the jacks they sell him they wont be able to replace him even with that kind of money he was their life line last season so they want to keep him

Personally couldn't give a shit about them as someone has said what they did to their creditors and many small business around the area was a disgrace a vile club with vile people running it without a care who they ruin

Re: ' Breaking News Gylfi Sigurdsson '

Him wanting away and potentially being there come September won't make a difference, you get players like Payet who will make a fuss and that.. then you have people like De Gea who was seconds away from joining Real Madrid who is still there now and playing to the best of his ability.. because a player may want a move away doesn't mean he won't sit down and talk and get on with things if he doesn't get his way.

Football transfers are crazy.

However he is absolutely worth 50mil to the jacks. He will go down as one of their greatest players.


I heard the investment has to go to improving toilet facilities and all flushes need to be upgraded to accomodate people with six fingers, an oversight when they designed the liberty.

Good post and my thoughts exactly.
Not all footballers are the same as you've already mentioned.
You're much too sensible for this forum mate!

De gea isn't approaching the latter years of his career he can afford to stay at man utd and still make the move to Madrid if he sees fit, he also never dropped out of a pre season tour with United.

Siggy is wanting out and wants his big day (and big pay deal) before he finishes.

I think you need to take your blinkered glasses off and take a look closer to home. Remember your feeling of hate towards clubs with owners such as peter ridsdale and managers like warnock. There is a reason why people like that are drawn to clubs like yours. Clubs that no one likes. Associated with hooliganism, controversial off the field decisions such as club colour changes. Always associated with financial problems. Isnt it funny that clubs like these always blame other clubs and fans as being vile. Leeds are another club that come to mind

Get facts straight risdale was chairman not owner!
Yes have been financially skint but unlike a club like yours we did not screw local businesses we are getting out of it slowly the proper way! As for hooligans take look at last years figures not 20yrs ago and who's been best family club over past 3/ 4 years and best away experience for fans? Not your club that's for sure. You pride yourself on well run club with fantastic chairman the same one that sold club out to the yanks at massive profit to himself! Unfortunately your halo as slipped off past 2yrs. :thumbup:

Ah, you mean clubs like ours, which has constantly resisted the easy option of simply going into receivership leaving local businesses unpaid for services. Take a look at yourselves mate.

Football isa joke these days to fans you used to go when there was terraces, culture and atmospheres, it's all about money now and it's really un appealing to lots of people less of course you watch sky sports and listen to talk sport, then the world is just the premier league.
