Do you agree with this assessment from Paul Abbondonato comparing Shelvey with Sigurdssen?
[May I suggest you rate your agreement in terms of a percentage -- 100% if you agree completely, etc.]
Sigurdssen is " a very similar player to Jonjo Shelvey,"

They both have played in the same position for the swans
Both fancy a shot
Thats about it |  |

20% because they're both classed as midfielders and both can score from distance.
Abbandonato is being as dull as ever in questioning buying Gylfi when we have Shelvey as they will be playing in different positions. We have no-one to play AM at the moment, hence why we're probably paying more for Gylfi than we would like. |  |

I saw that earlier and the same though crossed my mind. I don't agree as it happens. It could be argued that they are both attack minded midfielders but to my eyes their games are very different.
Shelvey is very direct from deep positions where as Gylfi is a busier type player who will occupy a much more advanced position. |  |

I don't think we've had a Gylfi-type midfield player since Gylfi left. The closest may be Pablo when he played in the middle, but that's a bit of a stretch. I'm looking forward to getting Gylfi back! |  | | |

Shelvey is more prone to silly passes he's also got brilliance in his locker ,Sigg is a steady Eddie type of player
so no [Post edited 22 Jul 2014 17:30]

I said on a thread somewhere yesterday.....
Gylfi = A Rooney type number 10.
Shelvey = A Gerrard type midfielder. |  |

We have slightly different recollections of Gylfi - I see him as a skillfull AM, far more dynamic than steady Eddie, don't you think? | |

Gylfi more intellectual and better temperament. MAYBE not as explosive but also less likely to be sent off/
I may be wrong |  |

Both can score from free kicks, although i think Siggy will take them from now on.
Both can play the defence splitting passes. Sigurdsson the most cultured player of the 2.
Shelvey unpredictable.
Both very valuable members of our squad.
35% similarity. |  |

I think he is very positive
Nice comment about Ramsey
Playing for Reading, Siggy popped up all over the park
Playing for Charlton, Shelvey did the same
When you get into the likes of Liverpool or Spurs territory so your qualities start to be dissected
Both these players are still young and will develop
Let them play their socks off in similar roles
Who's to know
Exciting times |  | | |

It's subjective but personally, from a Swans way, Gylfi is a better player. For our system like. | |

I value them both in our system. Both can get goals, both can be creative. Siggy is probably more creative but Shelvey will get more tackles in.
I think they balance each other out. | |

There's bits I agree with and as Dav loves his stats, I'll go with 40%.
I hope this bit is true
"As for Davies, if he does shine for Spurs and nets another big money move in the future - entirely feasible, given his ability - my guess is that the Swans will have negotiated hard to secure any percentage of a sell-on clause."
Hopefully our board have managed to get add-ons past Levy, although Levy and HJ negotiating must have been fun to watch!
"Unlike Cardiff did with Aaron Ramsey, who left for £5m and must be worth £40m-plus these days. That’s what you call poor transfer business."
Sorry, just thought I'd put that in as well, because you just have to laugh at the unfortunate.
Although, they chose to follow a sh1te team so fukem. |  |
| If you wake up breathing, thats a good start to your day and you'll make many thousands of people envious. |

Just read this and while I disagree with his assessment that Gylfi is similar to Jonjo, this may be the most positive article I've ever read from him about the Swans! He's obviously unwell.... | | | |

For a split second, I thought you were referring to me, and began to wonder about your "wellness" or whether you had moved over to the dark side.
I caught on almost immediately, thankfully.
Whew! | |

no, I always feel that Mr Abbandonato is in his unbiased commentary about the Swans rather similar to Leighton James in his equally unbiased commentary on all things Cardiff  | | | |
