Dr_Pangloss Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 1 hour ago, striker said: Sigurdsson is an excellent goal scoring midfielder who can also create and he has done his consistently in the Premiership over several seasons. Is he worth 50m? Nope but he will certainly not be a waste of a transfer fee. I understand what you mean, he will slot in, score goals, create goals, and be a good player for Everton. But £50m would make him like the 6th most expensive player in the history of football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 I like Jack Cork, good solid, decent player, honest player...but when we enter the realms of £10m getting you a Jack Cork, this for me is worse than any of the Glyfi talk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sums up what inflated prices there are in the Premier League. Sigurdsson is a good player but Douglas Costa is better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus he's a **** class footballer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno, Sig is good but he's no where near the level Costa. Every time I've seen Costa play he's looked excellent. There's a reason why one of them is playing for 2 of the best teams in the world, and the other is at Swansea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodgyknees Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Fwiw, I like Sigurdsson. My issue is not with his ability (wanted him here a few years back) but the price. One reason I loved Football Manager was the way I could find bargains, I like that. Now in real life, an average player costs 10m+, a good player 25m+ and a very good player 50m+ I don't like or enjoy that when there are people living in poverty.
