James Henry having a ball at Aldersh0t, 5 goals in 6 games thus far.

Got nothing out of the Dale who had Ryan East in centre mid. Josh Barrett came on for Aldershit in last 20. Showed that potential, but was blowing after 2 minutes, looked like a pub footballer and moved at that pace. Shame, as there is a decent footballer under all those layers

Article by Daniel Taylor on Gylfi’s late-career resurgence in Iceland.

Extract:

But there are good reasons why Sigurdsson, who turned 35 yesterday, has preferred to go back to Reykjavik, the world’s most northern capital, after his absence from the Everton line-up for the year before his contract expired in 2022. That absence has never been publicly explained.

Where, for instance, would he be better received? “He’s by far the biggest name in (Icelandic) football,” says Halldorsson, the long-standing chairman of Fimleikafelag Hafnarfjardar (FH for short), the nearby club where a schoolboy Sigurdsson came through the junior system. “Everybody here was happy to see him back in football.”

That, he says, includes the Icelandic media, which feels important given the scrutiny on Sigurdsson. “They are very supportive of him,” Halldorsson explains. “They always have been. The only thought, because he hadn’t played for two and a half years, was how difficult it would be for him to come back.”

(that’s as close as the article comes to salacious, for obvious reasons)

He has six goals in nine league games for Valar, but after finishing second last season they’re currently in third, eleven points behind the leaders.

I don't disagree that his fitness is lacking, but thought most stuff went through Barrett after he came on tbh. But agreed on East - looked very tidy. Rochdale looked a class above.

I am glad that he has got back on his feet, with the obvious caveat that whatever the 'situation' was did not involve him doing anything illegal.
