Probably more effective than Gylfis dead balls
You do know where I sit on it. I don’t rate him and unfortunately continue to be backed up by what I see every week.
Every player creates chances that aren't scored.
We measure that by a stat called expected assists which is worked out by looking at all the passes made and how likely it was that a similar pass resulted in a goal. So a pass to a player right in front of goal with a tap in might normally result in a goal 80% of the time. Whilst a pass on the half way line might result in a goal 0.001% of the time.
These passes are then all added up and players are then ranked by how many assists they would expect to get in a normal side. This means you can make fairer comparisons between playing alongside Messi and playing alongside Anichebe.
When we do that we find there are 42 attacking midfielders with over 1000 minutes played this year.
Out of those 42 listed by open play expected assists per 90 we find Bernard 17th, Gylfi 26th and Walcott 27th.

But the players around him aren't good enough. If he had better strikers, better midfielders and better defenders and a better goalkeeper, his expected assists would be so much higher.
I mean, you might have looked closely by looking at expected assists, but if you look even closer at expected expected assists, where you consider wider concepts, like, if someone needs better players around them, or a very specific position created for him, or slightly warmer/colder weather conditions, or decreased speed and desire of opponents, Gylfi is 1st in that list.
Not Walcott though, those stats dont apply to him for some reason.

Clearly not a bad player, just not a top 6 player & absolutely not what we need.
Koeman did a lot of damage.
Pound for pound Gylfi has to be the worst signing in the club’s history.

I know. And you are still wrong.
Klaassen cost like £25 million and played 250 minutes for us in the Premier League, this isn't even an argument.

And gylfis probably going to cost us the best part of 70+mil (fee and wages) while he's here
To be fair to Gylfi he does have the highest expected assists in the league from dead ball situations. Though most of that is down to volume.
Come on mate. You aren't telling me you agree that he is the worst signing in the clubs history "pound for pound"? That's massively over exaggerating.

He's up there just for the sheer waste of money

Which is weird because since he's been here he's one of the worst set piece takers I've seen in ages

what's an expected assist? how is that a thing?
that's like saying we should play DCL up front because I expect him to get 927 goals this season???
