Summer Transfer Window 2017

Lads stop it. It's February and you're playing that cringey scout game. None of you earn a living from football as you're biffs. Wait until the summer and stop confusing FIFA career for real life. You're behaving like geordies.

What do you think of Siggy as false 9 though?

Something tells me that for the most regular contributors on here, Valentine's Day doesn't really register.

Maybe flawed logic but did you see his pass for swansea's second goal today? No one in our team is capable of that. He undoubtedly offers something we don't currently have.

Yup mate I did watch their game today and that pass was sublime, think is saying we have no one capable is wrong, I've seen Barry, Barkley, lukaku and a fair few others play absolutely superb passes at times.

Funny thing is though I also saw him yesterday try lots of passes that if they'd come off have been brilliant but they didn't, and if that was Barkley doing the same he'd be and has been slaughtered for by some fans.

Don't get me wrong I do think the lad would be a good signing, but I don't think he'd be a magic fix for all our attacking problems against teams that sit compact and deep against us.

We equally or perhaps moreso need a second striker in the mould of big dunc or Gray, someone great in the air who if twamsxsut compact like that we can get on and bombard them with crosses.

Noticeable that west ham battered them with Carroll when they did that at the riverside.

think we missed out badly certainly on loan was a no brainer

Anyone like myself who has watched him a lot, will tell you he is no more consistent than Delboy.

I checked siggursdon's goal stats out 3 pens & a free kick which leaves 4 from open play barkley has 4 one a free kick so only one more open play goal yes he plays in a worse team but completely agree with you he is not the answer to our attacking issues. He would help but I think we need someone to help knit it all together & then we need to sort the defence so we can play more attackers.

Not sure on siggurdson assists as couldn't get data on set pieces or open play on them. I would definitely have him just don't think he is going to take us to another level he will add depth.

Hopefully Calvert lewin aerially can offer the aerial threat you speak off particularly once he fills out he certainly has the height & gets up well.

DCL may be the long term answer indeed, although hard to say really as hardly seen him and was out wide mainly when he was played.

If we are aiming to push the top 4 and better though, need better than our second choice being this lad up top, pelle even though I'm no fan would have been a good solid short term option if he hadn't taken the lure of the chicken fried rice. As for who we could get to play that role, got no idea really

Siggurdson is a weird one, his value to Swansea massively outweighs his value to those who may want him as a squad player etc, and he's not good enough to displace his equivalent in any top 6 side, and that was shown at spurs.

Ericksen, Mata, coutinho, hazzard, Silva/de bruyne, ozil/cazorla.

All are better options which top 6 teams already have. Personally think Barkley is a better player myself and if not will certainly go on to be.

As a squad option for 20m then yeah, but doubt he'd do that as he moved from spurs in order to start games, and Swansea will want a lot more than 20m.

Your insults have clearly declined over the past 12 months.
