HK85 267 Posted August 8, 2017 Author Share Posted August 8, 2017 Hopefully just a move by us to panic Swansea into a sale quicker. They need the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Gonzo 8,177 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 This is one of the slowest moving transfer sagas of this silly season. The move has been on the cards for months now - where Everton (on paper) and Swans (financially) would both pretty much benefit. Yet somehow it's not progressed and now stalling. On the one hand, it could be a tactic from Everton to get the fucking move sped up. On the other hand, Everton might be tired of haggling when they're already offering a lot of fucking money for the player. The market is ridiculous now, but I think Everton will find they can probably make a signing from abroad that on paper is just as good and save money in the process. With the season so close, I think it's reasonable they might end this interest and look for alternatives. It's something I'm a bit surprised with a bit, maybe it's because of all the money in the league right now - but teams seem very reluctant to go for players other than their top targets.

Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,644 Posted August 8, 2017 Subscriber Share Posted August 8, 2017 Swansea have no incentive to drag this out. I think the ball is probably in our park, just pay the fucking asking price or move on to other targets. Sick of this saga about three weeks ago.

HK85 267 Posted August 8, 2017 Author Share Posted August 8, 2017 Not on Swansea if that story is true. Says £45 million was verbally agreed then we decided to go back on that. Dirty tactics from us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toony 95 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 From a selfish point of view I hope he goes to Everton because it'll severely weaken one of our biggest rivals. I think it'll happen eventually, they usually do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah though someone else said 35m was verbally agreed earlier in the summer and they went back on that so hey ho. Depends who you believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burning Gold 599 Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Have to assume Swansea have a few signings lined up for this money, because otherwise they're fucked. Without properly replacing Sigurdsson, they simply won't score enough to stay up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Storts+ 2,424 Posted August 16, 2017 Subscriber Share Posted August 16, 2017 One of the worst value deals of the season if this comes off and struggle to see how he really improves them. Still the same player he was when he was with us, and for £45 million it's a bit of a joke. Good luck to him though, always liked Gylfi and wish him the best.

Mustn't have seen us for the majority of last season and thus far this season if you think he doesn't improve on what we have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFCMadLad 2,080 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Fee aside, I think this a great signing for the bitters. Massive upgrade on Barkley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but you've signed Klaasen and Rooney who play very similar roles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm - doesn't seem particularly balanced to me. Then what about Gueye and Schneiderlin? Where's the width coming form? Just seems like too many cooks at this point - especially one that ultimately isn't much better than the position you're in. He's a good player for a 7th placed side, but with aspirations to be higher I'm not sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a good player for a 7th placed side, but with aspirations to be higher I'm not sure The way I think (cos, of course, I'm not privy to how we're going to set up in any game) we'll do it is essentially a 4-3-3 when it's read out. Gueye, Schniederlin and Klaassen as the three in midfield. Davy at the tip of it. There is no width from the attacking players, that'll be full backs role when we have the ball, Rooney and Sigurdsson will tuck in leaving space. Without the ball, Rooney and Sigurdsson will pretty much be wingers. Just got to wait and see if it's balanced or not. Likewise on whether he as well as all the others, can push us higher.
