Found this quite interesting really. Yes stats are only good to an extent but everyone on this forum would probably say they want Eriksson instead of siggy. But the stats reflect that it's crap strikers that cause the issue as siggy is still achieving the same expected assists etc as when at Swansea, so is doing exactly what we wanted when we bought him. And is actually doing better than eriksson in most aspects but Eriksson has good players around him.
What an absolute load of tosh that article is.

"Sigurdsson still managed to return a satisfactory four goals and three assists in 25 Premier League starts."

That's satisfactory for a 45 million pound player? That tells you all you need to know about the bias that article was written with.
 

It was a great career move for Stones and Lukaku. You know, good players.
Stones, yes bought into the U23's and progressed well but do you (or they) see this as a career enhancing stepping stone for
Bolasie
Shniederlin
Walcott
Rooney
Tosun


Perhaps there are a small number of players that do join us as a stepping stone and then some that do but it doesn't work out like that
Klassen
Vlasic
Lookman
DCL?

and then there is a group that perhaps see us as a chance to 'reset' or 'restart' their careers
Mina
Digne
Gomes
Bernard
As usual its more complex than it first appears.

Richarlison will be next out the door. As long as we make a profit hey Farhad, Bill?
 

Our play has become poor for a while now, give Lookman a run in the middle, instead of Sig. He is capable of doing much more there IMO, but may never even get a run playing there. Only time will tell, why not find out in the next month? Could it be any. worse than recently? Sit 2 of Davis, Gana and Gomes behind him and give him a chance! Sig can warm the bench for. 3 games!
 
Hit and miss. Some of his passing can be overly ambitious, especially for the prem. Not sure what that has to do with Siggurdsson being crap, but hey.

Just usually a lot of people who bash sig love gomes even though he offers very little going forward. Anyway different strokes and all that, at least you haven't called for Lookman or Bernard to play number 10. Now that is a braindead shout.
