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 |  | | |  |

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 |
Absolutely laughable, you were obviously not old enough to have seen that trinity, Gylfi was very good for us and we were good for him, but come on 2 or three to replace him!  |  |

I think he must be aged between ten and sixteen |  |

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? |
You forgotten how long Toshack's team played at the top level ? | | | |

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. |
Curtis has always been my favourite player of all time and IMO he'd have walked into any First DIvision team of his era.
As much I really enjoyed watching Gylfi and personally I wish he hadn't gone, I don't feel the same is true of him. To say he needs three players replacing him is crazy.
We need players in a few different positions to improve the squad, one of which should be a replacement for Siggy |  |

Or didn't play for any other clubs at the top level
Both played for seven seasons each at the top level. [Post edited 18 Aug 2017 0:17]

But only 2 seasons at the top level for the Swans. One of those a hopeless relegation season - age affecting your memory ?
Sigurdsson has had 6 already and a contract for a few more seasons yet in a much more competitive era | | | |

Did you actually see Curt and Robbie in their prime? | |

Indeed I did sir. From the 4th to the 1st and back again. I can remember being devastated when Curtis left us for Leeds. Just the same as I feel gutted that a player has left us now due to the lack of ambition shown by the club.
I think we were promoted without Curt to Div 1. Will we survive without our latest sale? The manager says we need 2-3 players. Will we get them?
As I said I can't wait to see us play this new fast dynamic game with all of our midfielders chipping with goals & assists ... but I will not be holding my breath | | | |

In fairness, I don't think this is a lack of ambition by the club, Gylfi has had a massive pay rise, and will be playing in Europe, and also in a new 50.000 stadium, we just can't compete with them.
He was good for us, but we were good for him, and also this is the second time he has snubbed us | |

You don't remember the 2012-2013 season then when we not only won the league cup but had goals coming from midfield by the bucket load? And not a Gylfi in sight.
And Raynor is right. This is the second time he's f*cked off. | |
