Versatility, as in being able to play any of the supporting positions behind a striker, does seem to be a prerequisite for attacking midfielders now. Makes sense given how long it's been since the death of 4-4-2.

I think that Sigurdsson is a perfectly serviceable player, but for the money spent we should have been able to find much, much better. I've been disappointed by his lack of craft or guile, and, like Williams, it seems as though his leadership skills just don't translate at a bigger club.

The annoying part is that he has the technique and skill, just no balls or heart to see it through

At least he has that stat on Jonjo, other than that 90min averages are virtually identical

All praise Gylfi Shelvey of Icelandicville

Not BS signings tho...

..he’s fine, the least of our worries.

Respectfully disagree. Can think of at least 3 players before him and then a bunch of ??'s about what he even is good at.

He's a decent player, nothing fantastic but he's better then Rooney at the moment I feel. And anyone saying if he had pace he'd be a world beater is a bit of a nonce honestly. If my aunt had balls and all that.

We would have won this with Gylfi in the team.

He seems to be our only player to score on them in open play, doesnt he?

KaiserEFC · April 7, 2018

He’s injured so he’s suddenly going to become a world class player and he’s going to sort all our problems when he gets back isn’t he?

We miss him, in my opinion.

sageyefc · April 15, 2018

Still bang average

I like him and think in the right team he could be a quality player. Not sure how much we miss him in the current set up though. He's not great at challenging for 40 yard balls in the air.
