Because we’re absolute morons who left it until August to address a priority position, and have shown our hand with 3 bids in 24 hours. They know we have the money and they’ve bumped the price up by £10m seemingly overnight. This ridiculous strategy of waiting until the last few weeks of the window has fell flat on its face, to the surprise of nobody who actually has a clue.
Change the record you’re so boring

No one in world football would agree to a deal like that for Tyler Dibling. No one.

Southampton playing a risky game here. If they price him out of a move completely I doubt the player would be very happy about that..

They are. That's their prerogative, but could easily blow up in their face, yes.
 
Stinks of the Swansea saga with our record buy **inserts** Icelandic 🇮🇸 international name.

Disagree.

Sigurdsson was by some distance Swansea's most important player - he was directly involved in something like 50% of Swansea's goals the season before. They were always doomed for relegation when he left - it's why he was so important for them/commanded the fee he did.

We paid what he was worth to them - they'd have kept him too, if he didn't go on strike.

I often joked on here that if we take away Sigurdsson's goals/assists and their points, we'd be in a relegation fight. Not long after he went, we were...

They'd have kept him if he didn't go on strike though. They confirmed as much. A lot of Evertonians think we caved, we didn't. Swansea knew they couldn't replace him - Sigurdsson had to force that move.

I don't see any comparison to the two.
