Whatever anyone thinks about Siggy he has played his part in some of the best away days of recent years during his 2 spells with us.
Especially the away day goals that will always remain in my memory, some
of the best away days ever:
-Fulham away 0-3 masterclass, the most complete performance I have ever witnessed by a Swansea side
-Wigan away , kept us safe & condemned Wigan
-WBA away - goals in the snow & the orange jerseys
-Villa Park - what a free kick
-Old Trafford - first ever league win, set up Ki then scored the winning goal -
not the start Van Gaal was expecting
-Anfield - the winning goal & history our first league win
-Old Trafford free kick, vital draw last season
Probably many more, these are just the games that I went to that I can remember
Not to mention the goals at home especially v Arsenal, Villa ... never missed a penalty either |  | | |  |

Gower better get himself back in shape first |
Nice bit of cash back for the yanks, got their cash back already so not much matter now, even if we go down they still get a fair wack for 4 years. Plenty of high 5's going on at board level tonight.... |  |

Is Lukaku 'worth' £90 million?
That's the football market for you. |
Yep. At these rates I must be worth over a hundred quid. |  |

The best player to ever have played for our club.
Interesting to see a stat on the BBC today that he covered more distance than anyone else in the PL last season, 433km. Thats over 200 miles ffs, yet not good enough for some who demand loyalty, but cannot return it with appreciation and respect.
Yet theres some on here who will tell you he should have gone in January, was holding the team back or was 'bang average'. Laughable. The guy was running his bollox off all over the pitch because he gave a s**t about keeping the club up.
The irony of human life is that we dont know what we have until its gone, well we'll certainly know we dont have Siggy this season, thats for sure, that 45m or whatever it is is already looking scarcely enough to replace him.
All the best Gylfi, the educated will miss you, the short sighted will miss nothing until its too late. |  |

He's a very good player, no doubt about it.
Not worth £45 million, but if someone wants to pay that, then great for us. |
I suspect it won't be great for us, but we'll see. Big shoes to fill and the replacement(s) have got to be spot on. No Borja style mistakes or we could struggle big time. |  | | |

'The saga' isn't over yet for me. The money we have got for Gylfi is great, but will mean nothing unless a decent chunk of it is reinvested. We need 2/3 players at the minimum before the window closes.
The cynic in me says that we will bring in 1 player (Chadli?) and miss out on the other targets. |
I can't see anymore than one either tbh, stranger things have happened though. |  |

Well you can say that but about Siggy but as much as he contributed to the teams goals and assists I don't think he was the most integrated team member with the Swans.
Andre Ayew scored quite a few goals but didn't quite fit in.
I don't think we're gonna miss Siggy as much as the likes of Ian Wright make out.
What we lose at the swings we'll gain at the roundabouts with the correct replacement. |  |

A player who scores goals, provides assists (doesn't count any less if its from a set piece) and covers more ground than anyone in the whole league, keeping in mind hes not exactly playing in DM, like a Kante.
Aye we wont miss that, as long as we can get 5 players in to make the short fall up. | |

With respect, you can only possibly say that if you've been watching the Swans for a relatively short time as he is genuinely nowhere near the quality of players like Robbie or Curtis or Leighton. Nowhere near.
I personally don't think he is anywhere near the player that Michu was.
The older generation would say that none of them could ever get near Ivor, or Cliffy.
I agree that he's been a great player for us by the way. I also think £45m for him is good business for a club of our size, with the proviso that we spend it rather than keep it. | | | |

Impossible to compare though really isn't it? Times change, boots change, balls change, fitness becomes a science. Would Siggy have hacked it in those days ? | |

Whatever your opinion, he's in the conversation.
Leighton James or Siggy would be a real headache for any manager though.. | |

The first sentence of your post has just blown any credibility you might have had .
A great free kick taker but not much else really. He was far more creative under Rodgers and can't even take a decent corner.
We've just mugged Everton for £45 million. He is not going to get them top 7 let alone top 4. |  |

I've got to say I'm gutted, we can't afford to lose players of that class, but in the modern era where money talks, it was inevitable.
I have very little confidence in the club using the money well to bolster our league survival, and if it wasn't for the Clement factor, I'd say we were nailed on for relegation. As it is, I'd say it's 50/50. |
Excellent post, Hereford.
Siggy is irreplaceable.
But, that's the task at hand now.
We'll see if the club are up for it. |  | | |

Gylfi Sigurdsson's Premier League record for Swansea:
124 games

34 goals
28 assists |
And now it's up to the club to replace that, Robert.
Gulp. | | | |

" fantastic servant to the club for so long. "? it's Gylfi, not Leon. 3 years he was here.
A great player for us and instrumental to keeping us up, but he's gone to a rival now, so why wish him all he best? |  |

A fantastic servant who always thought this club wasn't good enough for him. It's like some people have only started watching the Swans since 2011. Some unbelievable comments on here.
Irreplaceable??
When he left the first time Jonathan DeGuzman certainly replaced him adequately . Didn't cost the earth either. | |

As an out and out Siggy fan, I've really enjoyed seeing him play, the goals he's scored and created.
I'm also really grateful for his massive contribution towards our PL survival over three separate seasons.
I wish him the best for his future (except when play us or Wales)
On the flip side I really think the transfer business has been handled badly by the Club and may leave us without time to get in adequate replacements. |  |

Curtis, Robbie & Leighton played for us a different era. They were all local boys so may be you are looking back with the rose tinted ones on. Siggy has been every bit as good as any of those over a longer period.
Michu was a one season wonder who wanted out as soon as Laudrup was axed.
Siggy is up there with our best ever and the transfer fee we got for him backs that up.
I cant wait to see us playing this new fast dynamic game without him with Carroll, Ayew, Fer, Mesa, banging them in and creating chances for Abrahams.
We need to recruit 2-3 players just to replace what Siggy gave us | | | |

So let me get this straight. Siggurdson has played for the Swans for 3 seasons and Robbie for 12 and Curtis for 10. But yet Siggurdson has played for us over a longer period?
No rose tinted specs from me. Robbie played up front, across the midfield and even qt full back in his latter years. He had a shot like a rapier , was a hard physical player who could tackle and could read the game superbly.
Michu may have been a one season wonder but had more impact than Gylfi in any of his three seasons here.
And by the way, he's been itching to leave since he got it into his hread that he was a top four player. Which he most certainly isn't.
As a matter of interest, were you born at the time when Robbie and Curtis playyed for us? Did you ever see them in their heyday? | |

Siggy was quite genuinely not as good as Curtis, Robbie or Leighton. Nothing to do with rose tinted specs,
The transfer fee has nothing to do with it and everything to do with the insane market in the premier league at the moment.
I liked him a lot, but people talking about him as though he was world class and irreplaceable need to get a grip.
14 teams finished above us last season, and not one of them had Siggy playing for them.
We may not replace him properly, but irreplaceable he ain't. | | | |
