Everton have apparently just upped their offer for siggy to 45m so maybe could improve our chances of speeding up the barkley deal.surely they cant keep them all.

Swansea City have rejected Everton's second bid for Gylfi Sigurdsson. They believe it was £40m in total. They want £50m

It is but it isn't. It's over the top but you'd expect that seeing as they're selling to another prem team and he still had a few years on his contract.
In this market, Gylfi's set piece delivery alone is worth £30m. He'll probably get 3 or so free kick goals and at least 7 assists from corners/free kicks and that's a conservative guess imo. To Swansea the contribution he makes to those 10 goals could be the difference between staying up or not.
It is a lot of money but it just keeps getting more mental every year so in a sense it's normal. I must admit, though, If I was a Swansea fan I'd be looking at £40m as a minimum, tbh.

If Swansea get relegated as a result of losing Gylfi then that's £150m worth of revenue gone each year until they get promoted again, you can see why they value him so high.

I hope Everton don't give in to Swansea's demands. Paying that amount for Siggy will fuck it for everyone. Any 7.5/10 player will suddenly be worth 50 mil and that's not going to be good for anyone.

He's a very good player for sure but yes, it's indicative of the way that the market has gone mental. I guess that its similar to the housing bubble in London: house prices are mental in terms of what you get but people are prepared to pay the money.

Hope Levy inserted a sell-on-clause when we sold him
We're complaining here because Swansea want £50m for Siggy who is actually a very good player for his club like we didnt pay £30m for Sissoko who was utter shit for Newcastle(a move quite a few on SC defended). Stop bitching about a club wanting an exorbitant fee for a very good player.
