A lot of those things can be applied to Barkley too.

Messi is great, but he's terrible on his right foot, incompetent at heading or defending.. His penalties statistics are bad and his free kicks and set pieces are not on Gylfi's level.

Messi is a better striker, winger & attacking midfielder. But can he play CM or DM? Can he score from long range on both feet? Will he provide crosses, through balls & passes equally on both feet anywhere on the pitch?



When did I slate you? I might dislike one or two moderators and about 3-5 people on this thread, but overall I have faith in the community.

My biggest pet peeve is the fact that I cannot even post a Pulp Fiction meme without getting a warning from a moderator.

But clearly there are people here interested in learning about their soon to be record signing. A few rotten apples wont discourage me or them.



The day I realized Gylfi was better than Eidur was the day that I realized Gylfi was already Iceland's greatest player of all-time. Everything he does from this point on is just extra.

Sure he hasn't won trophies, but that can change with Everton.

If he has another 20-30 goal/assist season, what's stopping one of the top 6 from paying £50+ mil for him next season?

I watch loads of Spanish footy and Messi is fantastic with either foot, he's scored plenty with his head. So to put it bluntly, Sigurdsson isn't fit enough to lace Messi's boots, if he was as good, then Sigurdsson would be playing for one of the top clubs in Europe.

Not that I don't like and appreciate Siggy, but to compare him to Messi is like comparing Prosseco to Champagne. One is perfectly acceptable, if not a little over-priced, the other is untouchable and beyond doubt the best there is.*


*Maybe not at Aldi.

Money well spent.

Better than Messi and Kroos apparently. Bargain.

Really? Wow, I didn't realize he is better than Kroos!

I take it back, gladly would have spent 200m!

Well, he signed for Wigan from January until the end of May, during which time barring injury he was eligible to play 23 games in total.

He made 14 starts and had 3 sub appearances mainly as right back. Warren Joyce I seem to recall said he was a decent performer and he has decent ratings for his time there averaging 7.06 being their 5th highest.

If we were signing him from Wigan, people wouldn't be wanting him anywhere near the first team and would be saying he isn't ready. It's only because he is leaving our U23' that people might get a tad upset about it as he could potentially be a good player in the future, but you just never know in these situations.

Do we believe from this that he would be behind Kenny for establishing himself in the future ?

Have you ever been more enthused to spend 50m?

haha, that is a tremendously fair point! I guess the appropriate response is 'I have never been less enthused or more enthused to spend 50m as I am here'.
