Shame he didn't score that many then, which, you know, is kinda why we bought him.

Fair point :ross:
Link up play, assists etc are just as important than goals to a #10.
Modric THFC
Jimmy McCormick
Who did though?
Look at our goals at white hart lane last season (excluding penalties)

He weighed with more than his share for the amount of minutes on the pitch he got.
As another poster commented, we buy players who are decent investments
Siggy/Davies will not likely be a swap on paper (two deals), but may just end up almost cancelling each other out in actually paying.

Same here. The amount of times he'd hit the woodwork with a beautifully curled long shot was unreal. Would have scored two or three times as many if not for that.
I already have plans to sign him on Football Manager next season.
That is what counts. He was good value, I hope he does well at Swansea.
Think people miss the point, it was never that Siggy was a bad player, he just wasn't good enough to keep other players out of the side.
Kranjcar was a good player for us, goal scoring record probably as good/better than Siggy, but he was never good enough to keep either Bale/Modric out of side.
Like Kranjcar, the only way Siggy was going to get a proper run in his favored position was through injuries.

Who would you have dropped to give him that 'proper' run?
Think Siggy was unfortunate that Bale moved centrally almost as soon as we bought him - if it hadn't been for that he might have flourished as VDV's replacement in the no.10 role. Instead he virtually never played there.
I have a feeling he'll do very well again at Swansea - good move for all parties. Wish him all the best.

The intent of my question was whether he was given a chance to show what he could do given the chance to play regularly in his best position (which I don't know). If we knew his best position perhaps we could suggest whom to have dropped.
Chadli is more powerful, whilst having good technique - something we dont really have. Plus Id suggest you havent seen the best of Chadli yet....

Maybe if Swansea were interested in taking Chadli in exchange for Davies and Vorm he would be crossing Offa's Dyke right now.

Erik Edman
imo he never ever looked good when he started. He had some decent matches when he was a sub.
Gylfi thrives on confidence. He seemed to lack it a bit at Tottenham. I will never forget his goal against Chelsea on Stamford Bridge. Lost my voice on that one.
He will always be a superb player on an average team, but an average player on a good team.
