Gylfi not going on US tour on 11:21 - Jul 13 by jack247
We don't sell our best players to rivals though. Everton are very unlikely to finish below us and if they do, neither will be relegated.
If we were being bullied by Burnley, West Brom and Huddersfield, then I'd be worried.
You didn't address the point about the 4 points we took off Everton that won't be coming our way this season. A lot of the discussion today brings back memories of what certain posters said after we sold Ash and Ayew - and we couldn't have had a narrower squeak.

Nice to see teh club standing firm, we have been pushovers for far too long. No doubt that he will go but it will be on the clubs terms. Good luck to him by the way, i think he has earned the right to move based on the fact he has kept us in the prem 2 seasons running. Thanks and Good luck Gylfi

Selling Ash and Ayew didn't have that much impact once we got a competent manager in. Would you have Ash back now instead of Mawson for example?
I don't think we took 4 points off Everton before last season. Our record against them previously was appalling. Perhaps we'll return to our usual form against Arsenal and take at least 3 points off them instead?
No offense, but arguing against selling Gylfi to Everton because it means we lose 4 points this season (although you have no way of knowing that is true) is a ludicrous argument.
You know, Hobbes, some days even my lucky rocket ship underpants don't help.

£40m seems like a fair price. We should just take it and give ourselves as much time as possible to bring in a replacement. If we wrangle another £5m out of them in a month's time just to make a point we'll be shooting ourselves in the foot.

Who ever we bring in to replace Siggy had better be able to strike a dead ball. At the moment we have no-one capable of taking a decent corner or free kick. As a mid-fielder he can be replaced without too much of a struggle.

What is ludicrous is your amnesia about how things looked before Hull lost to Sunderland.

I agree with you in principle, but we have no idea how the £40m bid was structured. It may have included lots of conditional add-ons that may never be triggered, or installments over a long period.
For the first time in a long time, it's looking like the club isn't pulling it's pants down and bending over at the first sign of a bid from another club. I'm taking that as a cautious positive.

Not at all. We had a lucky escape last season no doubt. I'm confident that a full pre-season under Clement means we'll steer clear of danger this year, but obviously that's just my opinion.
But if you can't see the lunacy in your argument that selling Gylfi to Everton somehow starts us on minus 4 points, then I give up.

Selling Ash undermined the defence for most of the season, although even he wouldnt have been much use in the Bobbly system. Selling Ayew meant we were chronically short of goals, Ayew had the knack of finding the net when we werent playing well (which was most of the time TBH). .

The second half of the season was very competitive and the new signings did a lot to improve Clements record. Lucky him.
I wouldnt be surprised if the move is not orchestrated. We know Gylfi has had an offer. We can trot out the spinters on your arse rhetoric.
Its only money and plenty more fish in the sea.
Let him go. Move on.
Watched the sigster at reading since he was 17. When we played at reading leon britton came on as sub i think and siggy scored a free kick just before half time. Anyway all the reading lads wanted leon to play with Siggy. We were fortunate enough to see them paired at our club. Quality players.
The era has changed, new owners, in need of an overhaul. Lucky to still be in the epl.
This is a set another set back.

Behind the scenes the club have known all summer that he'd be gone, was always going to be a lot of posturing from all parties.
The job in hand from the end of last season was to improve the squad to the extent that we would be looking at mid table security with a run in a cup competition.
As it stands at the moment, we appear to have made an excellent signing in Messa, Abraham may be an inspired signing, however as it stands we are nowhere near what or where we should be. It's an unfair statement, however we haven't progressed at all and are highly likely to be in an almighty relegation scrap again.
It amazes me every season that teams who play with relegation don't seem to learn lessons and end up back in the same sh it the following season.
All this could change, however the club faces an almighty challenge in the coming weeks. If Gylfi had stayed we should have been far more active in the market than we have been and seem to be heading the same way as the afore mentioned type of doomsday clubs.
Now Gylfi appears to be going you can double the intensity of everything....have we done our homework etc? It's going to be a hell of a few weeks!
Little doubt that overnight developments have meant that he is off to Everton and we have considerable transfer funds available for Mr Clement to sign a couple of players of quality, probably from the overseas market, but who, that's the million dollar question.
