2017/18 Gylfi Sigurdsson

[BlueToff]

Covered 11km of grass on Saturday - more than any another Iceland player. He most certainly is an athlete.

But yeah... stuff like this doesn't matter anyway because he's 29 and we chose to spend £45m on him, according to GOT experts

He's also 28

 

[msb]

He's a good player.

But £45m for a player on the cusp of 30 years old is lunacy.

I don't understand this. It's not your money, why do you care? No-one can say currently that we lack funds for transfers or that this replaced some other buy. Until we know for certain what the club spend this summer, anything else is speculation. We do know there is no endless pot of money and that we have to trim the squad, but I think we all knew that anyway.

 

[BlueToff]

He won the running.

Get in.

He won the running.

He set up the goal.

He generally stopped Argentina's midfield playing at all until Banega came on and pushed them up the pitch.

He created some really good chances. He had four shots - Icealnd's highest total. He had the most touches and won the most 'duels' (20). He made the highest number of successful tackles (5).

He won the duels too.

Get in.

Bet he is boss at Rock, Paper, Scissors as well.

I care because I fear in 2/3 years time we won't recoup half of that fee for a 30 odd year old player.

Haha.. in two years time.

We wouldn't recoup half his fee tomorrow mate.

Well yeah, exactly.

 

[Toast]

Just to add, I don't actually mind Siggy.
He's alright.

If only he could do any of that in an Everton Shirt things would be peachy creamy.

Some players are better for club than country. Some players are better for country than club. Some players are better as a "big fish in a small pond". Some players are better in a "small fish in a big pond".

Gylfi is 2 of these.

Some girls are bigger than others,

Some girls mothers are bigger than other girls mothers.

 

[COYBL25]

I will give him this much, he`s deffo better than William " the Tractor " Carvalho.

 

[Thomasc]

Another player not good enough for Everton.

The list gets narrower by the day.

Some of you are proper, boring agenda driven bells

I was actually defending us buying him and my point was that he doesn’t rely on pace so losing a yard with age etc. wouldn’t really affect his performance.

It’s called putting a shift in and working for the team.

But because of his price tag which isn’t his fault, you choose to try and make it seem like nothing.

What on earth are you even gibbering on about?

I was merely celebrating the fact that Siggy ran round more than anyone else playing for Iceland.
Cos when I've seen him play for us, you know, the team who pays his wages.. He's ok.. only ok.. not great.
