Sigurdsson to Everton then?

Get in the phone to Shakey.
Get back to Gylfi before he goes to Everton and offer
him a house in my area so he can sample ther delights of downtown Coalville.

We could offer him Gary Mcallisters old house. Then
he could be a redular at our pub, like Gary Mac was.

He could even get a lift to away games on Benbos bus

AFC Telford? Hee Hee! I guess my big sausage fingers must have clicked on them too by accident. Good luck to them too next season.

There's many things in this life I can't afford, a big flashy super car, a swanky apartment, one of those high class ladies that offer their services to name but a few, I just get on with life and what I can afford - It looks like Top is doing the same

we cant compete with Everton----they will move him straight into one of Robbie Fowlers many terraced houses to make him feel at home. We cant offer him an outside toilet and a damp cellar so lets give up

Still looking to hijack this according to some papers, might depend on if he really wants the Everton move or fancies more money:

Do we think this would be dependant upon Riyad moving elsewhere?

We don't seem to be generating much interest in our players and, therefore, generating any revenue from elsewhere.

Apart from 150 million approx from Sky etc.

Nothing wrong with making them play for their places and having to give everything week in week out, you can do that with a strong squad.

It would probably be too late by then, Joby. Although I still suspect that the latest reports linking us with a gazumping move Sigurdsson are actually fake news and more to do with his agent trying to nudge Everton into action.

I'm not suggesting that we couldn't afford him if we really wanted to.

With Iborra, Maguire and (the as yet confirmed) Iheanacho signings we'll have spent the best part of £55m. If we did spend anything like £50m on GS that would be over £100m. Add in the massive wage bill the people usually conveniently forget and that's a serious outlay - even before you factor other areas of the team that we might want to strengthen. We're rumoured to still be interested in another CB.

Losing Mahrez might help balance the books a little. As would losing a few of the peripheral squad members like Mendy, Musa, Ulloa (why a new contract?) and James/King who might still have some value to other clubs.
