Gylfi Sigurðsson


Recommended Posts

Not happy with £100k a week. That's a bloody good offer. He won't get more than that at Spurs either due to their self imposed salary cap. So unless he goes to City or somewhere that will pay him £250k a week then I don't know what he expects. Maybe an extra £25k a week to match more senior, more experienced international players like Schneiderlin.

 

It amuses me that players insist they would play for minimum wage due to their love of the game then refuse to sign £100k a week contracts.

You've no idea what is in that contract. Only speculation. It might not even be the salary, it could be terms of release, it could be loyalty bonus.

 

So because he loves the game he shouldn't expect parity with his equals?

 

Ever worked with anyone you know you are better than but get paid less?

It is a bloody good offer. But, to play devils advocate (what? Me?! Never) - he's seeing all these players coming in on wages on par or even more than supposedly offered to him, a born-n-bred Evertonian who's been at the club for years.

 

I don't think money is the issue though, I think the years of abuse and OTT criticism he's gotten have made him seriously think about changing scenes. Trouble is, he'll get stick wherever he goes in England and I'd be surprised if he moved abroad.

 

Confident he'll stay and take part in the team to raise the Europa League trophy

Without reading the whole thread, I'm guessing this is Barkley? If not, apologies.

 

But 100% agree.

Ross is a confidence player. A good manager can bring out the best in him.

His qualities? Close to any player in the premier league for OPEN play assists. Better forwards would give him more stats...... not a dig at Rom... Rom is one of the best finishers in the prem.... and Ross would be much more appreciated.

 

I really believe we are about to let go a really special player.

If he was what you say he is Koeman wouldn't let him go, he was playing like this five years ago, hasn't improved and never will.

Flatters to decieve and will never hit the heights people thought he would, don't think he will be missed.

You will be proved right or wrong mate.

Hope your wrong, I really do.

 

But i honestly believe we are letting a very good player go.

Leicester supposedly only want £30mill for Mahrez. There's a good player in there.

 

Can't see how Sigurdsson comes out at £20mill more.

I'm not a huge fan of Mahrez, but I'd take him over Sigurdsson (especially at that price), because IMO we have a greater need for a player in his position and he offers more in open play.

I'd be much happier paying £40m for Mahrez than Gylfi

 

I wouldnt.

 

Mahrez couldn't be arsed to move himself this season. He cant press.

 

It confuses me that people call Vardy a one season wonder, but not Mahrez. He had a worse season than Vardy this term.

 

Sigurdsson was one of the best players in the league last season. He is less of a risk than Mahrez and suits our playing style much, much more.

 

Lets not get blinded on how good Mahrez was 2 seasons ago, because it's likely he will never be that good again.

How does Sigurdson suit out okay though?

I am serious. He is slow and a dead ball specialist.

 

We have fast pressing players who rely on open play.

 

I don't understand how Koeman is so interested in him? He is by far a better judge than me, so I'll trust him.

I just don't get it though. Looks like the total opposite to what we're building.

Possibly because he does do a fuck tonne of running. He is a busy player. Doesn't he put in some of the highest KM's per game or something???

 

Koeman seems to like his runners.

Shukes...Statistically Sigurdsson covered more miles than ANY other player in the PL last season.

 

I've just looked it up. Even 17 more miles than the machine that is Kante.

 

So I guess that's why Koeman might put him above other players in his creative position.

You just can't let it go can you- what has Lukaku got to do with this transfer?

Read what I said rather than just seeing "lukaku"

 

My point is that if a player is worth top dollar for what he does.... if he is known to be available them far more than one club will be interested.

 

As far as I'm aware we are the only genuine suitors for gylfi. If he was a genuine £50m midfielder there would be more.

Beat me to it!

 

If you Google it, there are articles from several sources...this man comes out on top each time.

 

Surprisingly mind.

Amazing how so many articles and people can be wrong at the same time isn't it.

 

Errr .... ohhh Sigurdson.. not Stigurdson!!!!

Makes sense now.
