    I think we could still be in with a chance of signing Siggy after all.

    I've a sneaky feeling he'll persuade Sigurdsson to sign...

    Only if Sig fits into Laudrup's plans , it's not just Sig's decision anymore!

    Granted! Surely Laudrup will have been told what the "Sig-uation" is? (Ha!). If anyone can improve the technical aspects of our forward lineup, it's got to be Laudrup. He could surely still go on the field and skin any one of our players time and time again - if I was Siggy, Sinclair, Dyer or Graham I'd be in dreamland right now.

    I was having the same conversation with a mate last night. If we don't sign Sigurdsson, he can't be far off being better than any player we can afford, even at his age!

    Maybe Laudrup has a better player on his mind than Sig for cheaper maybe swantastic .... Maybe , like some on here , Laudrup won't like the way Sig conducted himself since Rodgers announcement . Couldn't care less if Sig comes or goes frankly , although I'm leaning go !!

    Now that we have Laudrup, it's a bit shocking to think that GJ could have been our manager.

    Why do you think he's taken 2 weeks to decide. It was a tougher decision than we realise. LOL.
