Hopefully at another club

Sadly, we won't sell him and his value is so low now that nobody would even come in for him.

We'll have to suck it up and try again next summer.

He’s done well in an underdog Iceland side though. You would think there’d be interest somewhere. Italy, USA, China....?

If Brands manages to ship him out this window, we should build a statue or the man!

If he wasn't on stupid money, yeah, maybe.

That's all you'll get. Decent. Then the odd toey from 20 yards.

We spend £30+mill for Richarlison and see an instant impact and the skills he'll show.

Not seen that with Siggurdson because he's very limited, one paced, and clocking on to 30 years old. He looks like he doesn't have a role to get the best out of him in the first team under Silva.

Squad player is all he'll be.

Which is fine at the moment. We have about 15 players who even fit that description. Can't afford to ship him out same as Tosun and unfortunately Schneiderlin

I think he's been appalling, tbh. It's shown up how limited he is when he's got to work without a big target man to get on the end of his crosses. That said, if we get such a player in you can put him down for at least 10 assists this season.

Oh, I’m sure we’d have to take a loss, but better than him sitting on the bench, which is where I think he’ll be if Silva gets the 3-4 he wants in.

Thanks Hamburglar, you big fat sweaty Dutch mess.

He really isn’t pal, check the facts

Facts? Its an opinion.

Facts? If you think Sigurdsson offers more than Barkley, you need to check your eyes.

I know one of them has scored and assisted more than the other in the last two seasons.

Totally different types of player.

Also one is a model pro, the other a busted flush at a very young age, oh and a massive rat.

Cling onto the Barkley myth all you like, pardon me if I don’t join you.

LOL! You cling onto the Gylfi myth.

He just kind of ponderously wanders around and looks decent while not doing much. Still not sure what he brings to the side

Which part of the above I wrote isn’t actually correct? Very interested to know.

I think we've already established certain individuals here don't understand stats very well. So we concede 3 goals on pure mistakes or bad individual play that has nothing to do with Sigurdsson, yet somehow he gets blame.

It's good to see that he's playing up higher so that his abilities in the final third can be taken advantage of. Looking forward to a bunch of goals and assists from him this year.
