2018/19 Gylfi Sigurdsson

IMO given he had no resale value and he does restrict the way the team is set up I think he is worth £30 million top. What I mean by restricting the way we play is he is like Cahill you can only really play him as a "10" as was proven last season. Don't get me wrong in this system he is very effective but I do feel that Silva has been forced to change his plans slightly so he can accommodate him. If he got injured and we changed system so there was no "10" he might struggle to get back in.

Thats not true. He wasnt good on the left wing, protecting Cuco, but he was at Swansea. He can also play as an 8, which he’s done some for us and a lot for Iceland. He can also play as a striker. Gylfi is one of our most flexible players.

I disagree but it's all about opinions. At the minute he is key to how we play in this 4231 system and if we keep winning long may it stay. He is pretty much first name on team sheet for me but if teams figure us out and we have to change system I think playing him as an "8" left winger or striker would be him as a square peg in a round hole.
 

Not messing but i dont get all this number 10, number 8 garbage.... talking like american football/rugby.
Does this do anyone elses head in or is just me.

Sorry pal it's just my best way of separating the 3 central midfield positions. I think Mourinho was the first person I heard doing it and I've just ended up doing the same.

This is so wrong on just about everything.

He "restricts the way we play" ?????

Without any shadow of doubt our best player this season.He's been pivotal for everything good we do going forward and a workrate second to none.
He really is Top Quality.

Thank christ we have a manager that can see this....you obviously cant.

Obviously didn't read all my post as I said at moment he is pretty much first name on team sheet. I used to think the same about Cahill and also Fellaini. Some players are only suited to certain systems. Silva has even admitted in interviews that Sigurdsson form has made him change what system he wanted to play.

I knew you weren't it's just me being lazy I nearly typed "11" for left winger in Richarlison thread yesterday. That could have confused things as our number 11 is our only right winger!!

Thats what gets me, with the amount of formations these days i dont see how a number sets the position, for example whats a number 6? 5?

It makes sense when every one played 4 4 2, but even then i only really heard it used to describe your striker 9.

Going far too deep into this, i need to go for a run or something.

So we have a manager that has the faith and conviction to play players in their correct positions yet you make out Siggurdson is lucky because the system suits him.
Dont you think that applies to ANY player in ANY system.
Or should we just go back to signing a load more no 10's and stick Siggurdson back on the wing.
Cant see the point you are actually trying to make.

And what has resale to do with it ?

Yeah... the god dam player of the season, ruining things by being to good to drop
