For once, just forget that you need to be the club's financial advisor in relation to players' valuations and resale ok?
Give me one player, literally one, who goes an entire season playing well week in, week out.
They are so few.
If you've got one, ask yourself, would they play for Everton?
Example- KdB had an unbelievable season last year. Would he played for Everton right now?
Absolutely not.
Gylfi is absolutely worth his place here. Haven't most of our goals this season been shared between him and Richarlison?
Hold on a second...lets look at Gylfis performances since signing...
33 games last season
18 games this season
Of those 51 games how can you suggest im being unfair to say that the majority have been below par with only a small % of top class performances?
Youve alluded to a comparison with some superstar players who also have a few off games.
The reverse is true with Sigurdsson. Since singing the majority of games have been below the level required.
Even if we just based it on stats, in the premier league last season his rating was 6.88 on whoscored.
This season it is 7.17 which is fine. Not amazing but fine...
If we look at the consistency this season over the last 8 games.
7.03 united
6.85 brighton
7.56 chelsea
7.98 cardiff
6.68 liverpool
6.26 newcastle
6.11 watford
6.1 city
Lots of views could be taken from these ratings alone...but i think theyre fair scores having watched the games...
Not the ideal numbers you want from a key player, no consistency.
