So true, it's simply to slap a fat £70m or whetever on the back page of the Sun. The lukaku '£100m deal' was ridiculous, Jim White calculated that we were paying Everton £10m to take Rooney off our hands£39.8m. So pathetically desperate for it to be known they paid under £40m. If United signed him they'd lump in all of the add-ons and his entire wage and the price of his Grandmother's antique clock and announce "United have agreed a £71m fee for Bakayo..."
When we sign a player the add-ons are part of the headline fee. When Chelsea sign one it's the actual fee plus mere mention of unspecified add-ons in brackets.
I agree , it will defo cement 6th or seventh place next seasonSigurdsson to Everton is a match made in heaven, it is the perfect club for him and he suits them excellently.

I'm not overly enthused by the possible signing of Perisic but my god, Costa is shockingly overrated. I wouldn't have went near either, personally.

no. he's "Portuguese"Does Dier count as home grown? If he is then he is making more sense to me. English and can play in defence.
About LB, I so much want to see Mitchell tried there at least as a back up.
Cheers, thats what i wanted to know.You can check official premier league squads, Eric Dier is not considered as home grown player.
Sigurdsson and Cork both going is bad for Swansea.
They can't. And we're apparently gonna pinch Llorente off them as well for our backup striker role.I really do not see how selling Sigurdsson at any price makes sense for Swansea. How do they replace what he gives them?
They need to be looking for the next Sigurdsson, and investing the £40-50 million wisely. It's what any club of that size has to do (or pretty much any club of any size...)I really do not see how selling Sigurdsson at any price makes sense for Swansea. How do they replace what he gives them?
