Tottenham midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson spent a second consecutive campaign on the fringes of the first team squad but while others might complain about their lack of first team football, the popular Icelander has simply got on with the job.
In total, Sigurdsson made 32 appearances in all competitions in 2013/14 although a significant proportion of those would have been from the sub’s bench. He also found the net six times, continuing a habit of scoring important goals – none more so than the winner in a 3-2 victory over Southampton.
Conceivably, new head coach Mauricio Pochettino may see Gylfi as one of those players he needs to offload but for now, the 24 year old is looking ahead to the new season at White Hart Lane.
“If you look at the final points total, we’re only three off our record haul and yet we only got one point against the top four teams, so if we can change that, we can push on again next season,” he said.
“The results against Liverpool, City and Chelsea away make it look a lot worse, even though we admit it wasn’t the best of seasons.
“The new lads have all had a full season, they are settled in now and that’s good for the club. Let’s hope we can kick-on.”
Speaking to the club’s official website, Sig went on to say that he was happy with his overall contribution although he acknowledged that it was something of a ‘stop-start’ campaign.
“I was happy with parts of the season, probably until around November time. I’d scored four or five goals by then,” he added.
“It would have been nice to have scored 10 goals, that’s what I look for every season. Next season, I’d like to play more regularly and help the team with a few more goals and assists.”
Pochettino’s old club were on the receiving end of one of Gylfi’s best strikes in a Tottenham shirt but should the new boss give the Icelander more responsibility in 2014-15?
i hope so. he deserve it. Done well for us the few chances he has got in the team and with his mid-season injury.
Plus it’s hard to get in form when you are in and out of the team like Sig has been. Start one game and on the bench the next. But 6 goals and a 3 assists are alright considering.
COYS!
squad player at best
Get rid of the siggy…
Your team is crap with crappy players. Glad you notice that as well.
and you are a cunt 4th place club now fuck off back to south london prick
And your club is far worse than the said “cut 4th place club”. So then, what does that make you? Lol.
we know what we are you retard now fuck off back to your own website prick,another mouthy gooner wanker the herd i;ve shit em
Yes mr Gav, lets get ridd off everyone. You have no facts, no points, only tslking shit about this guy. I love players like Siggy. He choose uswhen he could choose liverpool. He always fights. He always scorrs even if aint got time. Never tslks shit, everytime siggy tslks he talks about helping the team. If you remember last years moral we nedd people like him in the team. Good guy. Coys
Good guys get no where unfortunatley in life and hes a squad rotation player im afraid. Im happy to keep him but he could do much better elsewhere if im honest!!
Sorry gav, but I have to disagree with you on this one. Siggy is a top player and, when given the chances, he has played very well. Actually he has scored more than most for Spurs last season
gutted jake has left a real superstar lol
I like Sigurdsson and I think his style may suit Pochettino’s attacking midfield trio.
