2017/18 Gylfi Sigurdsson

I am going by my own judgement rather than stats. Sigurdsson for me is far more creative than Ross will ever be, is much better at corners, free kicks and deliveries into the box and he was surprised me by how hard he works.

I am sure you are aware of the saying... there are lies, damn lies and statistics.

I am but I also like the phrase "a man sees what he wants to see and disregards the rest"

DCL has put up as good numbers as GS in just about every category and he is a £1m signing 20 year old from League 1 who gets dogs abuse for being "limited".

A £45m midfielder is Bernardo Silva / Leroy Sane / Raheem Sterling level. Not Gylfi.
 
He was out for 4 months with a hamstring injury. Played about 100 minutes and reinjured the same hamstring.

Rat or not he was vastly better than Sig.

They are totally different players. Both attacking mids but as polar opposite as you can get for that role.

Would be nice to have both of them but Barkley being an utter snide kind of ruined that prospect.

The three you mentioned are all in the same midfield with De Bruyne and others. How would they do in our midfield and good luck with signing Sterling and Sane for 45m each they would now be closer to 100m.

In the great words of Simon and Garfunkel ;)

How much glue have you been sniffing exactly?

If you seriously think any one of those would go for less than 3 times that amount then you are simply bang wrong.

This isn't 1997.

They've all signed for that amount in the last 2 years - Silva this summer.

OK, how about Mo Salah and Saido Mane - both less than Siggy, one this summer.

Point is we paid a ludicrous amount for him and you can still buy better, younger, players for similar amounts.
