2018/19 Gylfi Sigurdsson

[blueblue]

We did overpay for him, I think that is without doubt.
However, he is a good player and an important member of the squad and team. Not every player can be bought at a fraction of his value and compared to some of the other purchases in that window and allowing for how prices continue to rise then he was far from our worst signing ever.

 

[Billysgingham.]

He's going to start every match he is fit for. Let's judge him at the end of the season.

Why do you need another season of him?

 

[Goat]

The main problem is that hes not a player Silva would buy, hes 100% not a Silva player along with a few others in the squad.

But the biggest problem is that we will not be able to ever sell him, no other team in the league would be stupid enough to buy him.

Thats not to say I personally dont think hes a good player, ive always liked him as a player and he will contribute for us, but if Silva can get the midfielders he really wants to play 4-3-3, his time will be done, but its going to take at least another 2 or 3 transfer windows for us to build a squad Silva wants, in that time who knows if Silva will still be in charge.

There`s always some mug team, like West Ham who`d have him.

In January, if someone offered what we`d paid for him, I`d bite their hands off.

Be very fortunate to get 25m.

Desperation around January and scarcity of half decent players who are available pushes prices up massively.

i have took that in to consideration mate, 25m is his ceiling.

 

[HeadieTwo]

he is poor mans özil

one day he plays like de bruyne another day he plays like seb larsson.

we paid nearly 45 million euro for swansea glyfi not this glyfi but still he can be useful from time to time

Never seen him play like de bruyne if I'm honest,.

What matches are they? I hope you’re not going to say Southampton, even though he did play well in that game, MOTM has to go to Walcott for scoring and assisting to win us the game.

The Garth Crooks method of picking MOTM.

Or maybe it’s because he had the biggest individual impact on the game.

I'm looking at Leicester as a side we could convince to take him off our hands for a decent fee in January.

We wouldn't get any more than 25m for him and would Leicester be willing to pay that after getting Maddison for the same position?

imo we won't sell him in Jan and wouldn't get anywhere near as much as we would want if we were to sell him

West Ham will be crying out for a saviour in January and they seem to like wasting money more than us.
