Sev Posted August 16, 2017 Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 Let's welcome him to the club and *cough* hope... that Koeman can get the best out of him. And that he'll fit into the team and Koemans *cough* tactics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibdane Posted August 16, 2017 Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 I'm excited by this one. I can't wait to see how he fits into the team and I'm much happier about 40mil price tag rather than the 50mil that's been thrown around. That extra 10mil will more than cover his wages for a year.

Hafnia Posted August 16, 2017 Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 some interesting opportunities.... 1. Gylfi corners for Keane headers 2. Rooney and Sandro winning free kicks..... already they seem to be getting fouled a fair bit. Prime opportunity for Gylfi 3. Shooting from distance - who does this for us at the moment? Barkley used to but messed about too much before pulling trigger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barkley used to but messed about too much before pulling trigger This is presuming that Gylfi takes corners and freekicks. I expect he will but it's not guaranteed when you have the set piece takers we have. I wouldn't get your hopes up on shots from distance as I don't remember him scoring many.

markjazzbassist Posted August 16, 2017 Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 koeman at the presser "we worked a long time to get this deal in, he was one of the key players to bring in" "we will lose lukaku for the season and we need players who will bring in productivity to the team, we lost lukaku 25 goals, we need more players than 1 to get the goals, he's that type of player with that prodcutivity and he knows the premier league. in my opinion he's one of the best in the league at his position" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shukes Posted August 16, 2017 Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 (edited) Going to admit. I just haven't saw him enough to be able to make a proper judgement. Praying he is our missing piece. Watched a few vids of him today. He does seem to enjoy a shot from distance. His free kicks seem to generally be right on the corners. Much more of a hard worker than I realised. Looking forward to seeing him in blue. Oh, and his middle names Thor... how cool is that haha! Edited August 16, 2017 by Shukes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjazzbassist Posted August 16, 2017 Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 (edited) “I’m really happy because the Board and especially our Chairman, Bill Kenwright, did everything to get him. It took some time but finally we have signed the player,” Koeman told evertonTV thought that was interesting. high praise from everyone recently for Bill K. welcome gylfi i can't wait to see you play in Blue Edited August 16, 2017 by markjazzbassist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to burst the bubble, but his wiki page says he did make one senior appearance, so the only first for Gylfi will be first Icelander to play in the top-flight of English competition for Everton, which sounds marginally less impressive.

Bailey Posted August 16, 2017 Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 Great article on Sky about Gylfi. 71 players registered more chances from open play including 4 everton players. He registered the same open play chances, 25, as Barry and Gana. Ross created 54. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good spot, the AZ away game when we'd already qualified from the UEFA group (and still beat them).. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/europe/7145803.stm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
