    That was posted by someone on Twitter <laugh>

    Here's a positive - we're more likely to stay up with him than without him.

    Why on earth do you give this fool the time of day let alone any respect. To call a Swansea player who has been a loyal servant and saved our bacon many times a twat is wrong. It is just plain to see who the real twat is. If Siggy wants to go then good luck to him whatever the fee he has been a great player for us and I for one will miss him. Football is a money game there are very few players who will stay at a club for their entire career. So thank you Siggy and thanks for the memories.

    Listen here son if you have given a quarter as much service to the Swans as i have then that would be good......You say siggy is loyal <doh> Where is his loyalty now ? <doh> He is a money grabbing TWAT and always have been and if i want to call him a Twat then a Twat he is end of story,,,No debate needed as that is my view..<ok>....He is a ok player that has shone at a poor club so lets see how he does at a bigger more talented club and i bet you it will be like he was at spurs <ok> Siggy has had more poor and mediocre games than good and some fans think he is a super star up there with the elite <laugh> He is nowhere near that standard and never will be so stop kidding yourselves.....He is a good player sometimes and only with small clubs like us punching well above our weight.....
    When you or anyone wants to really talk football then come back to me as i have forgotten more than you will ever know....So ditch this green eyed jealousy of what i know and who i know at the club as i can rip you to shreds with facts i get from my ex colleagues players and staff still at the club most of which i never put on here because im asked not too......Im well respected down the Liberty and i earned it with my long association and financial help i have given to the club.....If you can match that then good on you.....A Fool i am not and if i were then for a fool i have done a hell of good for myself from a working class background....<laugh>

    Everything that's put in the media , be it social media , or news print has to be taken with a grain of salt . Where's all your proof that the Americans want to sell him and Siggy's happy to stay , but it doesn't stop you from printing the Ameicans want to cash cow him .

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/39956535

    From the BBC link,

    "I signed a new contract in the summer and I've got three years left.

    "It's down to the club if they want to sell me."

    "I'm not trying to leave or want to leave," said Sigurdsson, who is in his second spell at the Liberty Stadium after re-signing from Tottenham in July 2014.

    "I'm very happy here.

    Wasn't that the day after he got his award . What's he suppose to say . Williams and Allen used the same kinda excuses to deflect away from the fact they wanted to go ( Williams ) and didn't want to come back ( Allen . It's the oldest trick in the professional athletes book , make it look like they want to stay when in reality , they want out .

    Can you Roof, provide any real evidence where Gylfi or his agent or a source has said he wants to leave? And I'm not talking about crap off twitter either.

    Fully agree. If Gylfi isn't in the squad/team v Southampton then it's obvious the board are desperate to cash in.

    Time to tell Everton to **** off.

    Anyone watching Pogba v RM here? Gylfi is worth at least £100m if you compare his ability to Pogbas.

    The PL tv monies and Chelsea/Man City owners are to blame.

    Psychologists vie to enumerate the facets of sociopathy. Joseph Newman argues that the sociopath has an attention bottleneck that allows him to focus only on one activity or train of thought, to the exclusion of others. Researchers, including Howard Kamler, say that the sociopath lacks not "moral" identity but self-identity altogether. Yet nowhere do I recognize myself more than in Hervey Cleckley's clinical profiles. In The Mask of Sanity, published in 1941, Cleckley distilled what he believed to be the 16 key behavioral characteristics that defined psychopathy. Most of these factors are still used today to diagnose sociopaths/psychopaths and others with antisocial disorders. (Psychopathy and sociopathyare terms with an intertwined clinical history, and they are now largely used interchangeably. The DSM excludes both, in favor of antisocial personality disorder.)

    • Superficial charm and good intelligence
    • Absence of delusions and other signs of irrational thinking
    • Absence of nervousness or neurotic manifestations
    • Unreliability
    • Untruthfulness and insincerity
    • Lack of remorse and shame
    • Inadequately motivated antisocial behavior
    • Poor judgment and failure to learn by experience
    • Pathologic egocentricity and incapacity for love
    • General poverty in major affective reactions
    • Specific loss of insight
    • Unresponsiveness in general interpersonal relations
    • Fantastic and uninviting behavior with alcohol and sometimes without
    • Suicide threats rarely carried out
    • Sex life impersonal, trivial, and poorly integrated
    • Failure to follow any life plan
