£40m Bid Made For Sigurdsson

[Stephen Gibson]

They are Welsh mate. Easily offended.

If Swansea think Siggy is worth £50 then surely only a few more mill will buy Swansea. Just buy them & sell them for parts.

Leicester City were bought for £39m.

Madness these fees.

I'm not sure what bullying we've done.

We bid for a player. They rejected it.
The player heard about it and fancies the move.

That's about it isn't it?

Spot on. We've bid and it's been rejected m. We're well within our rights to do so and they can reject it. Hardly bullying

 

[canuckblue]

Swansea seem to think they are being bullied.

With fans like Brian Swan, can you blame us?

 

[Midnitemike]

One thing I forgot about; Siggy likes to have a target man to aim at, but right now we don't have any target men. So we really need Giroud as well.

I think sandro will surprise a few with his prowess in the air. He may not be an out and out target man but he has a decent leap and is very brave at sticking his head in Tim Cahill-esque

think you're getting your welsh and your kopites mixed up there

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

I mean, maybe we have tapped him up and Swansea are justifiably angry about it?

Dirty pool on our part that if it's true

 

[FTY]

Can't believe how patronising some of yous are being

We've been there, fair play to Swansea

Well there are degrees of tapping up, aren't there?

We've certainly unsettled him - but I think the stories of our interest in the media alone were enough to do that.

Swansea are desperately trying to cling on to Premier League status. That's what Sigurdsson means to them. They'll use every trick in the book to try and do that, including throwing accusations at us.

It's a dirty game, but fair enough.

Possibly, but considering they did similar last year with Williams, changing the price, claiming the bid was got millions more than it actually was etc. It seems unlikely that we are, and that it is expectation management by the Swansea board.

Tapping up is tapping up

Tapping up is tapping up

Not if it's via the media it isn't.

We haven't though have we?

We've bid. He's fancied it. They've rejected the bid.

That's literally it.

That's all it seems to be to me, with some media briefing sprinkled in.

Nothing unusual. What literally every club does all the time.

I don't consider that tapping up, and I doubt Swansea would be this agitated if that was all we'd done
