So the Evening Post are reporting (with no quotes or sources) that Gylfi for Ben is a straight swap and will be completed in next few days, while Vorm is going to join Spurs for £2.5m:

So it seems Ben and Gylfi have both been valued at around £10m. What do people think of that (if true)?
Personally, I don't think we would have settled for a straight swap if Pablo was still here. I think the need for an AM is so great that the club felt they had to compromise.
Vorm for £2.5m seems a little on the cheap side. How long was left on his contract? [Post edited 21 Jul 2014 10:52]

No but it may come close to his loss of earnings, ie the difference between what he would have earned at spurs during the next two years minus what he earns with us | | | |

No it won't nothing like it.he might not get anything off Spurs just a signing on fee off us. | |

This. Say that worked out to 20K a week over 2 years, just over 2 million. Seems about right. | | | |

Wouldn't that be deducted from his loss of earnings? | | | |
| Evening Post on Gylfi, Davies and Vorm on 16:18 - Jul 21 with 2412 views | Darran |
Not necessarily IMO,the days of earning ten bob a week have long gone these players are not short of dosh. | |

"The 30-year-old Netherlands international has been granted permission to speak to Spurs via his representative after the Premier League clubs agreed a fee over the weekend, thought to be in the region of £5million.
The proposed deal is complex and dependent to an extent on a separate agreement for left-back Ben Davies to join Spurs and for midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson to move in the opposite direction."...................£5 Mill sounds more like it, whichever way all three sides add up! | |

Are you deliberately trying to be dull?dinner his injury at Man City he was out and has been mediocre at best since his return, is it that difficult to understand? | |

But they would be obligated if the deal didn't go through and he stayed there, hence the need to 'sweeten the pill'...................you really do remind me of a kid in school when I was a kid..............no matter how many times he was told and it was explained to him, he couldn't grasp things, 'course he couldn't see that either!  | |

You fail to take into account the possibility that a third party might be interested, which is not at all academic since Palace are widely reported to have had an £8m offer for Gylfi **accepted** by Spurs.
That said it still sounds like he is on his way back to Swansea, but according to your own analysis our negotiating position is just fairly weak. | |

I'd say you should focus every ounce of your concentration on your battle of wits with raynor, a fascinating contest between two unarmed men. | |

Shaky, you're losing. Again. Lisa's right - again.
Siggy would reject any move that will give him less than his reported 50k a week and Spurs are happy to "pay" (ie value him at less) the 2m he would lose in wages if he joined us. It's really, really simple.
Swans end up keeping their wage limits in place (although in equally a gray way as they did when signing Gomis!), Siggy's still getting 50k a week (30k from us, 2m from Spuds over 2 years paid in advance possibly) and everyone's happy.
If you don't believe me, ask your mates at "Goldman" :) | |

Hardly mediocre at best, no doubt that injury affected him, my neighbour mentioned that he had noticed his inability to dive low to his right since the injury. Admittedly he's not been great but hardly mediocre..................poor at times would be nearer the mark.................and what does dinner have to do with it? They not fed you in that home yet? | |

I hate to do this but .... either could be right. Or wrong. Thing is we don't know.
No one on here knows the financials of the deal. The fees might be a straight swap or they might not, Spurs might be funding some of his wages to smooth the deal or they might not ... and who knows what's the deal with Vorm is, although personally I reckon we're happy to swap him for Fabianski let alone get some cash in.
This thread seems to have been split between those who see positives in the board and those who don't. Not sure there's much more insight to it than that.
I wouldn't have replied but frankly I'm disappointed the chief protagonists only took this to page 3. Not good enough. | |

I fear you are talking to what us financial geniuses would refer to as a special purpose vehicle there, Uxbridge.
As for the substance of your post I agree with you. We don't even know for sure whether there will be a deal involving Gylfi, and certainly not the terms.
All we can say with certainty is that the most recent reports from the press suggest a straight swap, whereas Lisa's proprietary mystical techniques have enabled her to form the cast iron opinion that Spurs are contributing a large wodge towards Gylfi's wages.
We shall see. [Post edited 21 Jul 2014 20:35]

I'm not sure this is the place for such terminology old chap.
Might just be me, but I'm not one who'll put much store in a couple of journo's getting the correct details on the sums either. Not really in Spurs interests to advertise or ours. Would certainly look like Gylfi is happening. I'd welcome him back as fills a hole but big price to pay with loss of one of our crown jewels.
We shall see indeed. The truth will turn up soon enough, or at least a version of it. | |
