2017/18 Gylfi Sigurdsson

[Connor]

No shift whatsoever

Does absolutely nothing

For a player who 'covered the most ground in the Premier League' last season, did anyone check if he ran or just moped about?

 

[Woolverhampton_Blue]

I think he will come good eventually, but as it stands blowing £35 million on Andy Carroll would have made us a better side.

 

[Walken]

I don't actually blame him for tonight, but make no mistake, if that was rooney he would have been utterly slaughtered by our 'fans'

 

[CRIMHEAD]

It's amazing how much he has regressed when he was bossing around England in the Euros last year with a team from an island of 330K and keeping Swansea up singlehandedly.

How someone could lose his first touch, his free kick ability, his work rate (ignoring objective measures of course), and his passing abilities in such a short time is amazing, isn't it?

 

[davek]

He was knackered after 2 minutes.

What sort of athlete is this when he's blowing for tugs after two minutes?

£45M.

Unreal.

I'd hunt that clown Koeman down and tip this feller on his doorstep and demand the cash back on him.

 

[jceverton]

Just looks so slow and his touch doesn't look great either. Can't judge him on his time up front but when DCL came on he didn't look any different. Koeman has blown basically £100 million on him, Klaasen and Schneiderlin.

 

[Timak]

Nobody could have seen it coming

Pathetic is spending £50m on Gylfi Siggurdsson. Would be possibly the worst value for money signing in football history.

Hyberbole? No, I genuinely can't think of a worse one from anyone. Any suggestions? Hindsight not allowed so not Torres to Chelsea for example.

Absolutely spot on, found it bizarre at the time that we were buying him and it looks an even worse decision now.

 

[Osamabindiesel]

He took three brilliant free kicks, but he was absolutely terrible. He doesn't have the strength to play up top, and Unsworth really is tossing hail mary's in hopes that something sticks. He hasn't impressed me in regards of performances.

 

[eurosrees]

Seeing him trying to live up to his price tag is tragic, he looks absolutely shot to pieces.

Me. I checked.

I said all this in the summer. He runs but doesn't touch the ball, win it back or intercept it. Basically does laps.

I think he's waiting for Jeremy Beadle to appear...

I can't see it. I didn't see it when we were linked.

I hate him more than any Everton player ever.

Imagine we had a competent striker who GS could provide ammo for - as is his role. Like most of this hugely-unbalanced team, he is playing against his natural instincts.

Imagine we hadn't blown 70 million on him and Klassen and signed a good striker and a class centre half. We'd be in a hell of a better situation.
