Alberts Mustache Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 £45m for Siggurdson is absolutely fair enough within this ridiculous market like. Still. Three assists from open play last season. Why would you exclude his 10 set piece assists? They're buying him for that and his goal threat, not his assists and goals from open play. Even then he's still a clever player in non-set piece situations, so it's not like he's the free kick version of Dean Whitehead or something. With Lukaku still in the side I would agree it's a good signing, but with Sandro and Rooney? Most of those set-piece assist last season was to Llorente - won't be as easy this season. In open play he had 26 key passes last season. Barkley had 56. Not worth the fee imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll see though, fair point about about Lukuku, Rooney, Sandro, and Llorente as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

M4 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I know that PSG have to balance the books, but Matuidi shouldn't be the first out of the door imho. That does seem like a strange one and especially at the price. Thought he was a favourite there too. Would be losing an asset and losing value on him too.

Stottie Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Drinkwater over twice the price of Matuidi Sigurdsson going for more than James Rodriguez. :lol: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

duo Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Brighton have moved a step closer towards completing the signing of Colombian winger Jose Izquierdo from Club Brugge. The fee is believed to be worth an initial £13.5m, potentially rising to £16m. We can't even compete financially with Brighton Where's the money gone Mike? Where's the money gone?? !!

Foluwashola Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Solid defender, probably not too expensive and homegrown. It's an odd one on paper but he would have certainly been a better option than some of the shite they had there last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

timeEd32 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Not surprised they rejected it, think that's low by today's standards. He's worth more than that to WBA. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I received a fair bit of stick for suggesting Evans for us a few years ago. Not a top defender but a good solid all-rounder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
