But Viera is close to agreeing a new deal with Las Palmas.

There is a problem with us signing Viera or any Siggy replacement right now though. To sign Viera or any AM now will be very costly. In Vieras case his agent is looking to max out on any deal due to Vieras age, 27, and will be demanding big big wages for him. But what if we bought him and any Siggy deal falls through what then? We'd be paying Viera or any replacement AM a ton of money and also we'd be obliged to up Siggys wages too, that's how it works. We could end up having two highly paid players playing one position. It could interfer in selection as Clement would be firced to pick both players as starters which could make anyone left out to make way very unhappy, Narsingh, Carroll, Ayew, Fer, whoever.

Why we wont be signing any one to replace Siggy until we know for sure he's leaving.

Clement must have contacts in Germany and I know there are some untouched gems playing in the Bundesleaga in all positions. I hope PC utilises a few of his contacts and looks there.

Means not much nowadays though does it, what it does mean that if we want to sign him we will have to pay more, didn't Siggy sign a new contract last year.

He had a buyout clause of £30m euro. Las Palma's will probably double the buyout clause which means he's out of our reach.

We'll then waste £25m on Chadli <grr>

In Vieras case his agent is looking to max out on any deal due to Vieras age, 27, and will be demanding big big wages for him. But what if we bought him and any Siggy deal falls through what then? We'd already be paying Viera a ton of money but we'd be obliged to up Siggys wages too, that's how it works. We could end up having two highly paid players playing one position. It would force Clements hand to pick both players as starters which could make anyone left out to make way very unhappy, Narsingh, Carroll, Ayew, Fer, whoever.

I'd happily have Vieira and Gylfi in the team. Narsingh, Ayew and Fer are average anyway.

Why not sell Fulton, Ki, Grimes, and Sicknotero and buy Viera to play with Gylfi. That would improve the squad.

I know but we don't know how deep the grumblings would be and all because we shot our load too soon. We have to know Siggy is definitely on his way before we replace him.

Leicester offered £40m plus add ons. Should have sold him to them, 4 weeks ago.

My point completely, though I can see us not replacing Siggy until January, nothing surprises me anymore with this crap board down the Liberty. Valley is also under the misapprehension that Siggy might stay, the truth is there is not a cats chance in hell that that is going to happen!.............<ok>

Me neither Phil, he's a star for them as Siggy is or was for us, but we can hope. Cant see us forking out £20+m for any player, regardless of what we get for Siggy.

Just underpins how useless Jinx has been these last 2 or 3 seasons!...............<ok>
