ashley williams is a good defender.
diame is reportedly on the way and if he can add players like bouedebouz and affellay then we would be a much better attacking outfit and they wouldnt cost the earth.

Mate, 90% of the Premier League players are "good players". Williams is no where near Agger or Skrtel or Carra. We have no need for this guy.

Ashley Williams is nowhere near good enough.

What i want is some pace in the side.
We dont have anyone with genuine pace bar Bellamy.

Mates just text me saying Sigurdsson has come out and said he wants to play for us.
Probably off twitter so not sure how credible.

Anyone else heard this ?

A twitter rumour was saying he now doesn't want to sign for Swansea but didn't mention us

You're just as desperate as lakes for news 

Gylfi Sigurdsson: Admits the departure of Brendan Rodgers has 'changed the situation' at Swansea
Gylfi Sigurdsson does not see himself signing a permanent deal at Swansea and he would be interested in joining Liverpool but he has not yet spoken to Brendan Rodgers regarding a possible move to Anfield.

After arriving in January, the attack-minded Iceland midfielder took the Premier League by storm while on loan at Swansea from Hoffenheim and he seemed set to agree a long-term contract at the Liberty Stadium.

Swansea have agreed a fee with Hoffenheim but Rodgers, who was the manager to bring Sigurdsson to England while in charge at Swansea, has since moved to Liverpooland is ready to hijack any deal.

Sigurdsson, 22, has not put pen to paper on a contract amid the uncertainty in Wales following the departure of Rodgers at the beginning of June and the player is thinking about Liverpool.

"It's just unclear at this moment where I will play," he told Icelandic newspaper Morgunblaoio. "I'd like to play on with Swansea since I was really happy there.

"But after Brendan Rodgers left the club for Liverpool, it changed the situation."

Glorious history

Sigurdsson, who scored seven goals in 18 Premier League appearances, added: "I have said that my desire is to continue playing in the Premier League and Liverpool is completely considered.

"Liverpool is a big club that has a glorious history. The English Premier League is the platform that I want to be on and hopefully I continue to play in that division.

"I expect not to stay at Swansea as the uncertainty going on there and it is not clear who is the boss."

Liverpool transfer talks have yet to take place between Sigurdsson and Rodgers but the former has wished his ex-Swansea boss good luck at Anfield.

Asked if there had been contact, Sigurdsson said: "No. But I got in touch with him when he was appointed Liverpool manager.

"I wished him congratulations and thanked him for a great time at Swansea."

Ah right, honestly dont know too much about him but his goalscoring record was great.

Looks 2 footed as well, by the goals he scored last season.

I don't know much about him as well mate

hve always been impressed by sigurdsson, going back to when he played against us for reading in the cup.

Gerrard replacement?

How come if the lad was good enough for Swansea he's suddenly good enough for us?

how about because he scored more goals in 15 games than our midfield combined last season?

That'd do it.

I saw that he ha 7 goals and 3 assists last season, and I thought that's pretty decent for a midfielder.  I had completely forgotten he was on loan for only half a season.  He went straight into the starting 11 because BR had worked with him before and knew he was a talent.  He doesn't get yellow cards either which is nice.. He stays on the pitch.  You compare him to Charlie Adam, Adam played almost twice the games as Sigurdsson, took less shots with a worse shots on goal %, Adam committed about 4 times the fouls, and only suffered a few more, he had 4 yellows and 1 red card, twice the assists but only 2 goals (1 a pen and he missed a pen as well).  Sigurdsson seems to do a lot more with the ball.

I don't know that much about the lad , but he's certainly a much sought after player .
