[Foot Long Hot Dog]

Who was that bloke who caused us issues when we played 'Boro?...Traore??

Yes, a headless chicken with 0 goals and 0 assists all season.

He's crap

 

[jinkyali]

Siggy doesn't have the pace which puts me off .

 

[PhilM]

I'm not 100% on Sigurddsson.

Not sure why.

Personally, I think Gylfi would be an ideal addition to the squad to work alongside Ross rather than a direct replacement.

 

[a bell maul]

Good athlete, no end product.

oh, ok. I'm not au fait with other clubs' players really (outside the top ones). But I do recall that Traore bloke ripping up our midfield. I'll defer to your greater knowledge re his end product (mind you, 'Boro's woeful Goals For column suggests you're right!)

 

[BlueLlama]

He's also supplying lukaku... I think both are decent... but he's not superior in every way which is what was said... for a start he hasn't got as many goals...

The flip side is that Swansea do little else except get the ball to Gylfi and hope he does something with it. Rom is our focal point not Ross.
Not much point going round in circles but I'd never want Gylfi at Rosso's expense

 

[Neiler]

Siggy would be my first target this summer to be honest, wonderful player and done it different leagues and at top international tournaments.

If he was French or German he would be worth 50+ mill.

 

[CairnsToffee]

I'm not 100% on Sigurddsson.

Not sure why.

Same here, think because he was a flop at Spurs and couldn't raise his game to a higher level

 

[Kenshin]

Probably a bit of that. And that he doesn't always do it for Swansea too I think.

There's factors in both though. When he was at Spurs, it wasn't the Spurs we see now. And at Swansea he's surrounded by Angel Rangel types which isn't good for anyones health.

At the right price then maybe, but I can't help but think there's maybe a few better options for that role?

Think he will be a gamble personally. No-one else has ever came in for him which makes you question why if he is as good as he is made out to be in this thread. Plus if no better team than Swansea has ever came in for him since he last moved back then why would he necessarily be an improvement on what we have? Or at least as big a improvement as we need to go from 7th to 4th in the league next year?

Neither would I .. just pointing out he is not superior "in every way" goals scored is just one area he isn't

Swansea focal point was Llorente before he was injured. IF I'M NOT WRONG llorente and Sigurdsson has one of the best partnerships in the league based on assists for each other

He's a playmaker.

Llorente has zero assists this season so you are wrong.

 

[Niapper]

My mistake then. But Sigurdsson has provided 4 assist for llorente

Would rather have Rooney than Sigurdsson to be honest.

But rather have Brahimi than either
