He can definitely strike a ball

Seems to find the net everywhere except here

I think he will come good, I hope we don't sell him. Have to get that team balance right.

No he can't be.

Lampard is an obese who's nailing that scrawny northern Irish bird who's trying to fool everyone with that mahogany ronseal tan that she's off on holiday all the time - siggy can't do this

He wasn't that amazing up until the Abramovic era. Steady and solid, but not the scoring beast he has become.

He only really kicked on past his 25th birthday

Really doesn't say much other than any player who starts off well early can eventually become Lampard. Its just isnt a common thing.

It's not just the goals, although he has shown he will score them.

I find them quite similar in style, and physique. Neither being a typical skilful #10 but having an eye for goal and a good dig.

Frank was pretty unloved by West Ham as a jobs-for-the-boys pick, never appreciated there. A little like Siggy now at Spurs

Its more than Lampards eye for goal but his ridiculously great sense of timing in his runs.

Would Siggy then have to leave to become what Lampard became....making him someone elses Lampard?

From the comments made by AVB when we signed him, it looked more like Paulinho would be the one he was looking to take that Lampard style role

No chance! Siggy is a good player playing in a team with better players. He is not top 4 team material.

Going forward, players like Holtby and Eriksen will be our play makers.

He scored goals for Hoffenheim, Swansea and Readung though Hugo. Playing with better players hasn't turned him in to a goal scorer, in fact he has scored less.

Who said anything about being a playmaker anyway? Lampard was never that in his early days

Lampard has been pretty much one of the best complete midfielders in the Premier League IMO. Siggy is looking nowhere near in getting to that standard. He's a decent squad player and I wouldn't want us to sell him, but he's far down my pecking order.

Being English counts for a lot.. Lampard almost certainly wouldn't have got the games, or the goals he had, had he not been at Chelsea when Roman took over. Siggy is at risk of our other imports surpassing him..

Lloris is our Cech though - top class keeper that will ensure we take home more points than we deserve at times.

Obviously not in the same position yesterday, but showing promising signs. Great touch and finish for his first, good run for his second.

I hope Siggy makes people eat their words this season

I cant believe how many posters have written Siggy off on this article?
