Time for the Trust to step in re Siggy. 16:07 - Aug 2 with 4828 viewsTheResurrection

Clement wants him out.

Clement needs to prepare for the season and get replacements in.

The Americans are stubbornly holding out for £50m

But this is having a major wider implication.

The fans. The 21% owners have spoken. The Trust MUST deliver our message immediately.

GET THE DEAL DONE.

I wonder if the trust their "good working relationship" have any idea what is going on and if they have any say in the matter. As 21% shareholders regarding a possible deal worth about 25-30% of our annual turnover I certainly hope so. I wait with baited breath for an answer. Not to what is going on, only to if they are at all involved. Because if we are not involved now as sure as hell we won't be if we sell half our shares as advised.

So these transfer decisions are not taken at board level (the trust has a board member) when it involves 25-30% of our annual turnover.

Seeing as they weren't consulted when we were sold to the Americans.....I doubt very much if they'd even expect to be consulted on a transfer issue......mushrooms see.

Yes the trust should absolutely step in and demand that our players are sold for much less than the clubs valuation of them. It's a disk race.

The hyperbolic negativity can get pretty tiresome around here sometimes. We already spent more than twice that on a DM FFS, something we've never done before this summer.

It's about time the club showed some testicular fortitude in the transfer market. If we'd accepted the first offer and let him go on the cheap the same people would be moaning.

Market inflation so maybe £10 is the new £5m as we sold a second rate midfielder for roughly that and hopefully replaced with an upgrade at slightly higher value.

Still means we have no experienced cover at CB or RB and likely to start against our premier league season with a kid leading it attack and Fer as our Siggy replacement.

Our DOF is so out of his depth in transfer market it's embarassing when our activity seems to be very low offers for players that'll never join us, then we'll end up buying the remaining dregs for £5m or £10m in new market. Sadly I suspect our only saviour maybe another dabble in loan market so we can cash/ pay shareholders the £60m from Siggy/ Lorrente sales.

Being outdone in transfer market by likes of Burnely, Bournemouth and Huddersfield shows how low our DOF and so called scouts have sunk.

People keep banging on about CB and RB as if they're the most critical weaknesses in the side. Our problems going forward if as likely we're going to be minus the creativity of Sigurdsson are far, far more pressing, and will need fixing quickly.

As for likely spending, the relentless "We only sign £5m players! The Americans will pocket it all!" shit is getting a little tiring. Thus far they're roughly breaking even on transfers. If selling Siggy potentially gives us a better range of targets then holding on until that deal is done is understandable.

Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/aug/02/everton-gylfi-sigurdsson-swanse

Deal by Monday, according to the Guardian.

Swansea City’s head coach, Paul Clement, has said Gylfi Sigurdsson’s proposed move to Everton could be completed “in the next couple of days”, with the clubs finalising the details of his £50m-rated transfer.

Everton have had club-record bid's worth up to £40m and £45m rejected for the Iceland midfielder, who took part in an open training session at the Liberty Stadium on Wednesday. Following the session Clement revealed transfer negotiations have progressed and a deal that could see Swansea receive their £50m asking price for the 27-year-old, possibly including a player exchange, is close.

Clement said: “He [Sigurdsson] will not play [the friendly] against Sampdoria on Saturday. Talks are still going on and hopefully we are going to get some news the next couple of days the deal needs to be the best for all parties involved, we have got a very, very important season coming up.

Swansea have rejected a £40m bid from Everton for Gylfi Sigurdsson but the midfielder is expected to move to Goodison Park before next week.

“We know what happened last season if you don’t make a good start and we don’t want that to happen again. We want to make a good start and everyone wants to know what our squad is going to be going on to the first game of the season.”

Swansea are keen to avoid a repeat of last summer’s transfer dealing with Everton, when the late departure of their captain Ashley Williams to Goodison Park disrupted the defence and contributed to a relegation-threatened campaign.

Clement is keen to strengthen at full-back this summer and Callum Connolly, a promising 19-year-old defender who was part of England under-20’s World Cup winning squad, could be part of Everton’s latest offer for Sigurdsson.

The Swansea head coach said he would be open to a cash-plus-player offer: “Assuming it is the right player coming our way and it is someone we are interested in and fills a need in our squad. Those deals will always have potential. I hope it is done today, either way, whether that is selling or not, but we need a quick resolution.

A deal for Sigurdsson would take Everton’s summer spending close to £150m. Ronald Koeman, who is in Slovakia preparing for the Europa League qualifying return against Ruzomberok on Thursday, is also keen to sign a striker and a left-sided defender before the transfer deadline.

This. The OP is also deluding himself if he genuinely thinks the fans want Siggy gone. Siggy goes, we can't replace him, and we are in big trouble.
