Swansea now saying they are looking into Siggerson being tapped up by Everton, strange saying they have turned a bid of £40 Million down by Leiceste, as far as I can see Everton submitted a couple of bids that Swansea came out in the press saying bid rejected, not sure what part of tapping up they mean, any idea Eds.

it appears that swans are over exaggerating the situation to me gylfi wants move efc want move and swans are being ridiculous claiming we have tapped him up this is so they can save face like i said earlier this club cares not for the player or any other aspect of what's going on just they're own retarded valuation which has risen twice in this window this is a player who's value is around 25 mill mark when the player wants the move and a team is waiting to buy you do your self no favours with this kind of stuff other swans players are probs watching this situation thinking this could be me next year. one thing is for sure they are making sure gylfi is going to have a bad start for us the price and the weight of expectation on him to perform at efc will be growing by the day and no one can live under those conditions. as i understand it they told him last year they would not stand in his way if they recieve a good offer for him well they have had several good offers for him his head must be in bits as he realises the club have always intended to to play with his career to there own ends there has to be a cut of point to this pursuit he just isn't worth the money. he will never have played under this kind of weight before and it could find him out.

You would make a good sensationalist Journo Bazwil212. All they did was warn Everton they would have to pay the full 50 million and they would not stand to Gylf being tapped up. Just a negotiating stance. Personally as I have said before looking at the prices going around, Sigurson is worth every penny of 50 Mill in comparison.

To be honest I have only seen one official bid and that was us £40m I think Leicester was paper talk.
It's just a matter of time now to deal is done, especially after he was omitted from pre season tour. He is our next signing. Over weekend or early next week.
It's going to perfect all these player in already with plenty of chance to work as a squad.
Definitely best summer as a Everton fan who would of thought we would be where we are now a season and half ago.
The structure of club is great now new money stadium on the way just need to get rid of kit bag deal.
I'm from Bristol
Season ticket holder so only cause I'm up there a lot I can visit store otherwise I'd have to buy online.
My family don't even know how I become a fan but as I keep saying EVERTONIANS ARE BORN NOT MANUFACTURED.

It has also sparked a response from Kaplan and Levien, who have released a joint statement on the matter where they have warned the ruthless Toffees about tapping up the player.
“At this time we have not received an offer from any club which represents a fair valuation of Gylfi given his importance to our club, ” said the Swansea owners, as quoted by WalesOnline.
“As we have stated, we will not be bullied or forced into a decision until a club meets our valuation of the player, no matter whether they believe they have an agreement with the player. Any such agreement would obviously be in contravention of Premier League legislation.
In my book that's as good as accusing Everton of trying to tap Siggy up.
We want £50 Million for Barkley, not for one minute would Everton accuse Spurs of tapping Barkley up if they offered £30 Million, it is called negotiating.

you are deluded mate first off barkley will not be sold for 50 mill cause spurs won't pay it saying we want 50 mill is neg. what spurs will pay is neg. saying we want 100 mill for rom is neg. taking 75 is neg. over inflating the value is not neg it is greed pure and simple they could sell gylfi for 100 million but that money will go to america not to south wales. we are trying to buy a player from sports owners that usually deal with franchises if you read between the lines this is what is going on gylfi has been paying attention to the inns at efc and thought i want some of that he has handed in a transfer request cause he was given assurances when he signed extension that they would listen to serious offers for him. well its not serious offers they want it is the most money they can get despite whatever promises made to the player. the players agent has approached the club to say its a bit much all this and then the club accuse efc of tapping him up and refuse to talk to gylfi's agent and so the player stops traing and statement to the press is made saying gylfi isn't in the right frame of mind at this point these american owners no they have to sell they have broken the bond between the club and player but yet they continue with a very unrealistic valuation that is pulled out of thin air and when we met their first number they changed it and subsquently will not neg. until they're valuation is met this is not a neg. stance it is a ransom demand for a player who is not that good in the world game yeh he suits the prem his energy is always good but at this point there is better players and value out there and gylfi knows it that's why he is not in the right frame of mind, gylfi is paying the price of showing loyalty to a club owned by people who have no idea what's going on in s/ wales and don't understand or care the promises made between a manager and player in fact they probs don't care about swans football is a business after all . keep americans out of football, real football imo . ask the fans across the park see what they think.

Good post floats. The American investors see the PL as a cash cow just like their own baseball and football franchises! Greed is the best word to describe them. We now know GS wants a piece of the blue revolution so we should wait until deadline day and offer even less than 40 mil (just like Spurs will offer 25M for RB) . Those greedy Yanks will rather pocket 35M for GS on deadline day than get nothing and end up with a player who thinks he's been badly treated by Swansea. Failing that we will get him for a more realist price in Jan window.

He is, with out doubt, a good player, but his club are now well and truly taking the piss. Even in todays market, 30-35mill is all the money.
Now with this nonsense about tapping up, the time has come to tell them to do one, report it if you have proof, except there is none.
Keep the player, then, when you have been relegated, we might, if your lucky, come back and give you 20m, and you will be glad to take it.

The only American owner I am happy to continue at his club is Kronkiar. The longer he stays at arsenal the more likely Usmanov jumps ship and joins up with his mate Moshiri.

Toffeeace: A few months I was listening to Talk sport and they were chatting about the Kroenkes. His personal wealth is in excess of $11 Billion and they then said his wife's personal wealth is estimated to be at least double that. Basically the point they were making is that its not about money, its a status toy and why would he ever give that up. they never need to sell. Usmanov is clearly a Arsenal fanatic and if he ever got hold of the club, he would fund them all the way. I think he will be a couple more years yet before he gives up. Hopefully throwing his hat into the EFC ring.

Thanks Blue, good info mate.
