No of course not. But people are still saying they'd prefer Gylfi.
I'm hoping it's a reflex thing as it's mental to say that.
No, he didn't. He was often played as a winger or deep.
He stills cored 7 goals and 6 goals respectively - better than any of our players bar Rom last year.
And...

Tottenham were too quick to sell "perfect" Swansea talisman Gylfi Sigurdsson says the London club's boss Mauricio Pochettino.
Pochettino took over in the summer of 2014 and allowed Sigurdsson to join Swansea in a deal that saw Ben Davies and Michel Vorm move in the opposite direction.
Spurs host Swansea on Saturday.
"I think after he moved to Swansea and we saw his development he was a perfect player for us," Pochettino said.
"But in that moment it was the club decision and his decision to move to Swansea and find another way."
Sigurdsson has five goals already in the current campaign and Pochettino says the Icelandic midfielder is still well thought of at White Hart Lane.
"Every time we meet him and see him he shows his quality not only as a player but like a man. All the people here talk very highly about him," he said.
"It's a shame but sometimes in football you never know what will happen in the future."
So yeh, Poch disagrees with you.
Oh yeh.
I mean, I'm not convinced Rodriguez is all that, but he's better than Gylfi.

Him and Giroud for 60 be good business, we can get half the back with McCarthy and Ross
we'd get £50m for Ross and McCarthy, minimum.
Remember the days of Dithering Dave?

James is better no doubt, but reading a lot of comments on here it's obvious they have never watched Sigurdsson except when he has played for us. He is exactly the type of player we need I think.
As for the fee: yes it is overpaying but so what? We got £50m for Stones, if we pay £10, £15m more than expected, I can live with it. It only seems a few windows ago that we were linked with Dickov and couldn't meet Birminghams valuation for a certain Robert Savage.
Embrace the new "getting things done" Everton.
We have;
10 mill for Del
8 mill for the Clev
4.5 mill for Mcgeady.
Wide or central attacking players who made little or no contribution and who were effectively binned last season.
22.5 million that is effectively half of Gylfis fee who will actually play games and be contribute double figures goals and assists.
Its a no brainer.

He'd laugh about it know, I'm sure he would.

So we should just stump up the coin for the 2 targets and be done
But does he run around in circles?
Funny you mention liking him playing up and I get your point. Instincts should take over but i don't think it happens enough.
While I 100% agree that Ross has shown flashes of instinct that are beautiful football. I don't think it happens often enough in the final third. Too often he holds it too long, and the chance goes away. Maybe I'm wrong but that is what I feel like when watching him.
I want him to stay because he has that potential and I want him to achieve it. But at the same time he is not a consistent difference maker and has playing first team football long enough to be.
I genuinely think he has all the physical/technical skills to be a box to box midfielder like Lampard, but he is too much of a liability defensively.
