SIGURDSSON

They haven't managed to offload the players needed to finance the deal yet

 

Your looking like amateurs now, you really need to cough up our price, or you can forget any agreement you have with 'our' player, Siggy will go nowhere otherwise you will be at risk of tapping up one of our players.

You need to either pull out or suck it up pronto .............

 

You've dug your heels in, and we'll bide our time thanks all the same. If you're being completely intransigent then this will drag on longer than it needs to, there's always a compromise.

 

Not good for either Club the longer this goes on although the compromise could be 49 squillion

 

Tapping up? All the club have done is make a bid. Swansea made it public

 

Yup Koeman has been nowhere near Blackpool and thats the tapping up capital of the premier league im told...

 

Swansea have come out and said they won't be bullied.

So the ball is in the court of big spending Leicester

 

Same applies

 

I hope that a Leicester bid will also be classed as tapping up.

 

I considered Everton a class above and Leicester well lets leave it at that

 

Nothing to do with 'dug our heels in', we have a value on him of £50 Million, you either meet that valuation or move on to another target, there will be no dragging out, we simply won't sell him, we have been here before, with Derby county when they attempted similar tactics under Pearson/Paul Jewel, when they tried to turn our Dutch star Midfielder Ferrie Bodde, the Rams failed miserably, they tried everything, the Bodde saga lasted 12 weeks, they failed to meet our valuation, and we kept our player............

Then in the end both clubs involved will be happy.

But as I pointed out before. Everton slapped £100m price tag on Lukaku.

We got £75m

 

We got £90m mate, as the add ons basically rely on him maintaining a pulse for 3 years

 

What are the add ons?
At OT we tend to cut our losses if players aren't performing to expectations and leave them on the bench which is why Monaco will never get the add ons for Martial if he doesn't pull his finger out.

 

Performances and goals, and the bar isn't high I'm told. More of an instalment plan than a true 'add on' challenge

 

Apart from the Balon D'or clause the Martial add ons weren't tough like

 

Didn't seem it after the first half season but are now looking dodgy (I think time limits were involved). If he gets his act together he should still hit the mark though.

 

Won't be surprised if Rooney outscores Lukaku this season

With Bolasie, Sigurdsson & Barkley, Rooney has impressive supply chain for goals tbh.

 

Liverpool echo made it public mate in their dawn edition the night after Siggy captained the side in a pre season game. That means the story was written the night before, and before Siggy announced he wasn't going to the US in the morning, the morning AFTER the the report was written.

Don't take a computer genius to work out what happened there does it?

 

So Everton tapped him up?
