    The best?

    I'd be very disappointed if he is our marquee signing. Plenty of much better players out there for £20m.

    A very average midfielder - would prefer to play Hayden and Merino

    I rate him like ****, we've talked all season bout how this player and that player would make our summer, this guy would be perfect. **** the AM spot off and have 3 CMs of him, Merino and Hayden. Would be pretty ideal for this season's counter attacking philosophy.
    At least we won't have to crap ourselves when Shelvey somehow gets a red by blinding a player with the reflection of the sun off the top of his bonce

    Think if he is a replacement for Colback fair do's but for £20m, not a chance, wouldn't touch it even with Cashleys Bargepole. I'd rather try and install a sky dish at Cap's.

    I get ya mate but do you really think we'll pay 20 mill for any other player?
    I only reckon Charns would OK this because we been chasing him since January and Benitez clearly wants him. The Townsend transfer went tits up, Charnley could only really redeem himself in Benny's eyes with this one

    We may get him for £10m tops. Agree that we could then look to go 3 across the middle without the No.10 and go 2 up top, or 3 more narrow. 3-5-2 looks preferable and would explain the attempt to bring Kenedy in.

    We are clearly looking at another CM if these transfer rumours (Wilshere and McCarthy) are to be believed.

    Personally would love to go 3-5-2.

    Just seen that Barry could be going to West Brom - would much rather have him for a season!

    Anything that prevents us having to play Hayden is a plus. This deal won't happen though.

    We won't be paying anything like 20 million.
    If this were to happen at all, it would only be because Everton had secured Siggardson and would let him go at a reduced fee.

    Depends what you rate him as. Premier league footballer is a massive stretch, but he may have a hidden talent for baking or something.

    He's an athlete, but he seems like he's **** at football when he plays near someone remotely talented.

    Good job he is surrounded by players like Ritchie, Knobber (Shelvey), Atsu. Gayle, Perez, Manquillo, Dummett etc

    Apparently Everton have agreed a £45M fee for Sigurdsson

    Oh our squad is championship quality for sure. Ritchie and Shelvey have the most ability by quite some distance... which is just scary.

    £25m? <yikes>

    Wasn't he going to leave Everton last year for about half before Everton pulled plug because he was "part of the family"?

    Solid enough midfielder, but he's another one of those that doesn't really excel in any aspect. Won't create you plenty of chances, won't score you many goals, won't win you loads of tackles. Jack of all, master of none
