2018/19 Gylfi Sigurdsson

[catcherintherye]

His strength is his versatility and teamwork. Yes he has quality on the ball, great at set plays, can strike shots at goal and is probably more creative than he showed last season, but he is also very versatile, intelligent and can fit into a number of different positions and systems.

I think it has 2 advantages for Silva. Firstly it allows him to change formations within game quite easily. Secondly he can give him a central role and know he can use Gylfi's game management to help the team. He used Cleverley for this last season who also had a real football intelligence. Sigurdsson can do that role and a fair bit more for me.

I feel that if he plays that inside left position he needs a pacy, left footed fullback to overlap to allow him the space. Obviously wasn't getting that from Cuco last year which I don't think helped. Hopefully with a new left back in he can show more of his form from Swansea.

 

[Walken]

I hate him now and never want to see him again but god, he was genuinely world class.

I've only love for him and his perfect hairline

 

[sageyefc]

You know very little about football in my opinion.

Back at you

 

[sageyefc]

Would love a proper baller for the centre of the park like mikel, I'd spend the entire budget on one

We've never replaced him or pienaar

It was all downhill after they left.

Say what you want about Moyes, but he had an eye for proper quality on the cheap.

 

[AmericasToffee]

Bad part is you really can't sell Sig. He's an above average players but no way you get anything close to a return on him.

I’d rather he was played central anyway.

 

[Goat]

I like the boy Iceland, but comparing him to Arteta should carry a prison sentence.

 

[Rugby Toffee]

Expecting big things from him this season , especially now that Rooney has gone.

I wonder could he play a Kevin De Bruyne role mate.

 

[PhilM]

Hoping it isn't another slow start for Gylfi due to his World Cup appearances and lack of pre-season as we're in need of his creativity.

I don’t think so.

He'll be back in training on Monday I think. Same with Gana.

 

[Stutheblue]

He's decent. Nothing more in my opinion. He's not going to carry us to the top 4 but he's a good player on his day. Needs to be at his best regularly to justify the ridiculous fee we paid. Don't see that happening, but he can be of use.
