KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Siggy says Swansea deal is off. He would love to play 4 reds

i think gylfi sigurdsson will be a great player for us to sign especially at 7mil or so he is a young gifted midfielder who also knows how rodgers expects his players to play and that can only help the players around him having someone who already understands rodgers plans

i think if played right could be a great signing

Did BR sign him/sell him when he was at Reading?

not sure mate

the lad has got one hell of a right boot on him too. seen some of his goals for reading and iceland. breathtaking some of it. you could almost compare him to steven gerrard during the gerard houllier era.

anyone who disagrees with this signing needs to give their head a serious wobble.

with markus babbell in charge at hoffenhein, an ex player of ours of course. he would not have any problems accepting a bid if we match swansea's surely?

really hope we make a move for him. can't wait for next season already

It looks like a no brainer to me too. Based on last seasons play we have a very average (at best) midfield excluding Gerrard, at least 3 of them (we all know who they are) are not LFC quality so why would we not sign this guy and move some of the deadwood out before they cost another manager his job.
Having said that I can see Snakeye's point, we need a RW and a goal poacher as well, so my call would be sign this guy along with a top class RW and a proven goal poacher. If FSG won't provide funding for this minimum requirement to continue the rebuild, then their ambition is in question as far as I am concerned.

i believe rodgers brought him through the youth set up he signed a academy contract with them in 2005

for any new manager they are likely to make funds available. i hope so anyway. they backed kenny with a lot of dosh when he took the job on

i think they might well back rodgers financially more than we think i mean they supposedly didnt want dalglish and bowed to fan pressure in appointing him and they backed him well,
so if rodgers is more there choice maybe he will get the same level of backing or maybe thats wishful thinking also

Interesting write up here on Mr Sigurdsson:
