Speculation Motown's hysterical and annoying, but traditional, totally unfounded Summer 2017 rumours thread

Interesting read about Sigurdsson's asking price.

The article is spot on we should be scouting a lot better than this IMO can not blame Swansea here, sadly there are some good players sat in the championship and below that are not getting looked at. I would be wary of Signing him for even 20 million he is now hitting the approach to his early thirties

Pat Nevin thinks differently.

Weird one:

"Leicester City are winning the race to sign £2million rated former Coleshill Town winger Marvin Johnson.


Johnson, 26, is currently playing for Oxford United but, according to the Sun, Leicester boss Craig Shakespeare is closing in on signing him.

Johnson has in been watched by Everton and Liverpool in the past while Aston Villa, Wolves and West Bromwich Albion have also recently been linked.

But the Sun claims the Foxes lead the race, especially now Johnson's ex-boss Michael Appleton has joined the coaching staff at the King Power Stadium."

Mr Appleton's first bit of scouting?

We were linked with him in March - https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/3208545/marvin-johnson-manchester-city-leicester-oxford/
The Sun called him a full back, but wiki says he's a winger.

2 main things for me...if you're buying him you're unlikely to be looking at his defensive qualities. Also, his assists from open play are dependent on his teams strengths and not just his own. They're a shower of shite and it's not surprising goals come from set pieces as most of the Swansea team would be hard pushed to string 4 or 5 passes together.

Leicester City are facing the prospect of last summer's six major signings leaving the club.

They spent more than £60 million on Islam Slimani, Ahmed Musa, Nampalys Mendy, Ron-Robert Zieler and Bartosz Kapustka, but Leicester could offload them all as they streamline Craig Shakespeare's squad.

Odd wording to say "facing the prospect" which implies it is something being done to us, whilst the headline is clear we're aiming to offload them. Or perhaps it's just me.

They have not cut the mustard

Siggurdson pulls out of USA Tour so obviously set for a move, probably to Everton

Why would they accept £40m from Everton if they rejected it from us?

No chance of us getting him now though it seems.

Need to fill that position though so need to find an alternative.

Its pretty obvious that he's made it clear to those that matter that he's not interested in us.

Absolutely. Given that he has only done reasonably well at Swansea and achieved nothing at Spurs, I don't see what the fuss is about. We (and Everton) could do better looking elsewhere, especially at that price.

Nothing is obvious.

They've rejected the Everton bid too.

This should free up the treatment room a fair bit.

That's another £4m we can use for Sigurdsson...

 

[Robin127]

If Sigurdsson is worth 50 million James should be worth at least 10 million.
