London Blue Posted August 10, 2017 Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 I'm firmly in the camp of - if the manager wants him then go and get him. If we really are 5 million off agreeing and it's his No1 taget then fuck it- just get him. This. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hafnia Posted August 10, 2017 Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 Koeman still saying a deal is "close". Aka Swansea still haven't signed a backfill for him for an agreed fee tgat isn't gonna be extortionate because they have £40m burning a hole.

Still unclear to me why everyone is in favor of haggling over 5m when the season starts now. because it will snowball if we prove to be pushovers. do you just take on extra work responsibilities without being compensated? it's helping your employer right? i don't. you want more than my job description, pay up.

I still maintain that the market is the market. A team will take what a team can get. There are better times to make a statement and strike a bargain than 2 days before the start of the season.

Newty82 Posted August 10, 2017 Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 Ha! No ones trying to strike a bargain. We're talking the £40 - £50 millom price bracket here. There's no bargain going to be mentioned by anyone! He's going to come to us. No doubt. It's just behind the scenes muscle flexing to sort out.

Newty82 Posted August 10, 2017 Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 Clement has called for a compromise to be sorted now. He's been cool and realistic throughout. From his point of view, he knows Sigurdsson wants to leave. He wants him out so he can get new players in. It's an unwanted distraction for him and his players.

Sparks FC Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 Only thing better than watching this drag on is the Coutinho drama. According to FM, squad list for Europa qualifying rounds closes 2 days before the first leg, so we would need him in by Tuesday to get him on the list for the 2 Split games. Hopefully he's here by then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddock Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 Even if he signs in 5 minutes he wont be fit enough for Split, the home leg at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shukes Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 Don't think we should be buying a player that isn't training. Just because he isn't in the squads should t mean he isn't training hard to get ready. If he isn't, then he isn't professional enough for our team. Likelihood is that he is fit but not bit match fit. That shouldn't take too long to get into shape. Most of our team have only had 90 minutes total. London Blue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course he'll be training and fit but fit and match fit are completely different things. He wont be picked over players who are match fit for such an important game.

Shukes Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 But haven't we a few matches before? I mean if we can get him in very soon, he might be able to get a few appearances under his belt. But we need to wrap this up urgently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
