Can anyone tell me how "Super Garry Monk" also known as Mr Blobby, picked Gylfi out of position to accomodate that useless sack of s--- shelvey? I'm taking my credit card up to St James's next week to buy all the geordies a drink for taking the useless sack of c***. Thank God he has gone.;-) |  |

50,000 pints at £2.50 that is £125,000 you have a good credit limit with that card. | |

I agree Gylfi is God .... I wish someone artistic would make a decent song up about him |  | | |

I agree. Gylfi has been a performer of legendary proportions this season once JJS had moved on to better things (?). I often wonder how Spurs could leave him on the bench. To be fair to them watching Christian Erriksen put that cross in just now for Alli's goal, answered it for me. Gylfi and Erriksen are similar players but Erriksen had the chance to establish himself first - fortunately for us.
Gylfi is one of the best players ever in a Swans shirt, and I go back to the great Ivor Allchurch with that estimation. I sincerely hope we can hang on to him, but there seems to be some conjecture that with Leicester almost certainly in the Champions League next season, he'd be a great fit with them. And who could blame him, if that opportunity came along? He's definitely good enough for the Champions League. He'd leave a hell of a hole in our team though. |  | | |

Although my support does not go back as far as Ivor Gylfi is up there with the best players I have seen in a swans shirt.
Don't like your 'Leicester fit' probably because you are right.... 1 player we cannot let go. | | | |

He was outstanding at Reading but failed at Hoffingheim, came to Swansea was superb, then signed for Spurs and failed to establish himself, returned to Swansea and became awesome again.
Footballers are happiest when playing well, i know money also talks.
I honestly think with the Euro's in the summer Gylfi will be focused on that and a return to somewhere he knows after it, the only nagging thing i have is that i can honestly see a return to Spurs to suppliment their champions league campaign being an option.
Easy for both parties, by all accounts Poch had to cut players and was reluctant to sell Siggy, with champions league football in the bag, it would be an easy fit for all concerned.
Other than that i think he will do another season here, what we have to do is match his ambition with top quality players .
Outstanding top notch player, shameful he was sat on the bench for us and moved around to accomadate monks pet project shelvey. |  | | |

It's not always a given that brilliant players will leave, especially when they have had their fingers burned once.
Next season we could build a team around Gylfi, get a Bony-type player in (Wilf perhaps ? ) and with a couple of additions have a really successful season.
If we are to grow (and especially if money is injected as has been discussed since yesterday) then it's important we hang onto all our players.
We saw what a negative impact selling Bony had. | | | |

Remember this is the amount we got for Joey.
Siggy is 3rd in the PL highest scorers list this season, behind 'Arry (YJB he's one of our own!!) Kane and Aguero.
I'd be inclined to be looking for a lot more than £15 million unless your minimum has an awful lot of add ons Penc |  |

well first of all, he needs to sign an improved contract before he jets off to the Euros. and then a striker needs to be brought in who will play to Gylfi's strengths. i'm not suggesting Bony, but someone with similar qualities. |  | | |

I am a bit blinkered when it comes to Gylfi so thought my 50 million price tag would be scoffed at Dewi.

I think that stat is in 2016, rather than all season. Still awesome though. |  |

Gylfi is a better footballer with a Graham/Paloschi type doing the running for him than a Bony. | | | |

There is a surprise jasper disagreeing
I think a lot of Swansea supporters thought the Bony Siggy partnership was pretty decent. | | | |

It was great for Bony, and worked very well as a partnership, but Gylfi himself is better when he doesn't have to cover as much ground alone.
If the plan is to "build the team around Gylfi", that's the archetype we should be looking for (with Paloschi ideally as able backup). | | | |

That's pretty much irrelevant. The reason people want to build our team around Gylfi is he is our best player and has easily overtaken Ayew as our biggest goal threat.
In the unlikely event we were able to bring Bony back, or the slightly more likely event we could sign someone in his mould, we would do what was best for the team, not the individual. A Gylfi/Paloschi partnership may work better for Gylfi, but a Gylfi/Bony partnership would be better for the Swans. | | | |

You are right
In Wilfs last season
Bafe 10 goals
Wilf 9 goals
Gylfi 9 goals

The thing about "Super Garry Monk"? The guy came across as being too egotistical for his own good to ever change his mind because it would make him look wrong and not the 'Mr Managerial-Genius' he was in his own mind. If he'd had the modesty to work with a more qualified, capable and respected back-room-team e.g. Curtis and had played Gylfi the chances are he'd still be here! [Post edited 10 Apr 2016 21:16]

No one is arguing that Gylfi can't play with other strikers. He's an excellent footballer who makes everyone around him better because even when things aren't set up for him he works his socks off.
But to get the best out of our best player we should look for someone that's going to help Gylfi as much as the other way around, doing their share and more of the grunt work, as Paloschi did so well against Chelsea.
Gylfi sacrificed some things to help Bony, so unless we're actually able to get Wilf back (and he's got the right mentality to drop back down a level) it seems obvious that we should aim for that workhorse type to complement Gylfi once Gomis is fired into the sun (Qatar/China). | | | |

I was a massive Bony fan and would welcome him back, however I was all for selling him at the price we did.
However, I really can't put a price on Gylfi at the moment. Not just because he almost single handedly secured our survival, but because he is the only player we have which makes me feel excited when he is on the ball. He is in the same category at Trundle, Bodde, Michu.
I think the only reason he will be with us after the summer is because his time at spurs haunts him. If it is true that we are being taken over by the Americans this summer, I am sure their faces would light up when one of their advisors tells them that they could sell one of their players for £20 million in their first week of ownership.
Also, Eder scored again today and got an assist, so they will be looking to re-coup at least 80% of what we paid. [Post edited 10 Apr 2016 22:25]

This is the 2nd time he's been pivotal in our staying up - arguably, he was even better during his loan period |  | | |

Assuming Gylfi stays, which I think he will, there are two broad striking options
Someone in the Bony mould (I realise he has a fairly unusual skill set and there won't be many like him available) in which case he becomes the main man and Gylfi supports him like he did with Bony.
Someone in the Danny Graham/Paloschi mould (I know they have different strengths but both are willing to drop deep and do a lot of the running, creating space for Gylfi) Graham had a good partnership with Gylfi, potentially Paloschi could too.
Whichever type of forward we bring in, we do whatever is best for the team. If that's also best for Gylfi (Graham) then great, if it's not (Bony) still great. | | | |
| Gylfi is god on 11:34 - Apr 11 with 3117 views | jasper_T |
The risk is that we might end up with another Gomis who superficially resembles Bony in some ways but ends up completely mismatched with Gylfi.
If Paloschi can replicate his Chelsea performance regularly for us then I'm willing to eat crow over the signing and praise Saint Albert as our true Number 9. Sell Gomis, keep Eder and Ayew, invest in full-backs etc. | | | |
