can ye all stop with the Barkley v Sigurdsson nonsense... they are 2 very different type players...one has more pace but the other is smarter and covers more ground and 'but ok, this is what we like' Barkley leaving has nothing to do with him arriving it has to do with him not signing a contract... as for the price we are asking 50mil for Barkley with a straight face... Siggy is worth 40mil in the current market no question... he'll turn some draws to wins and some losses to draws...he kept Swansea up ffs

You just compared the stats of a guy playing as a holding midfield with much better players around him to a forward. The fact that Sigurdsson created almost as many chances while having the ball much less is not an indictment of Gyfil, it's actually EXACTLY why Koeman wants him.OK, even if we use that parameter, Barkley is the superior player. Involved in much more of any given game with a higher pass completion rate.
And it's not even close. The fact Gylfi has more assists is more to do with a shocking lack of movement due to a gimped attack 'led' by Lukaku than anything Barkley was doing, as evidenced by the above.
Not necessarily mate. It's all a bit sketchy still but reports are saying he only informed them this morning he wouldn't travel.
I'd say that's a cue for some extended talks before there's any permission given to do anything...

His stats are up there with players from the Top 4 clubs, all whilst playing for Swansea.

Yeah it's difficult to look at those stats and see it as endorsement of Barkley tbh.

You wouldn't be sat round moaning about spending 100 on the new one and disregard the 50 back in your pocket

Very strange.. that is the exact opposite of what I said!?
"As an attacker, at Swansea he is given time and space because teams tend to leave themselves more open. At Everton, he will have much less time and space because the opposition will sit deeper".
Awkward.
He got 13 assists last season with Llorente in his team. Without Llorente, the season before, he got four assists. The season before that, with Bony, he got ten. So basically, he got a lot of assists in his seasons playing with an aerial threat, and got a very average number of assists without such a teammate.
He averages an assist every 343 minutes at Swansea. At Tottenham, he averaged an assist every 587 minutes.
Also, why do you keep comparing our transfers with Liverpool's? That isn't a barometer for us to be successful. We as a fanbase really need to concentrate on ourselves.

Swansea will look for a replacement and we will get this done soon. I'll be glad if this doesn't drag on.

Swansea had Fernando Llorente up front on his own like. Your mate Lukaku scored a full 10 more than him but ok.

At least Swansea did not say hes not flying out because of a groin injury - it's a lot of money if we do sign him still need a top striker though!
