Very true, good point, interesting quote here as well, looks like Swansea move fallen through.

According to Icelandic media no contract has been signed between Hoffenheim and Swansea.
"Gylfi Sigurdsson is still a Hoffenheim player and we expect him back in training on the 18th of June" Holger Tromp Hoffenheim's director.

muzza Liverpool have an agreement not to sign any players from Swansea in next 12 months as part of the package for Brendan Rodgers.

So Gylfi not going to Liverpool this season!

"We've done all we can with Gylfi agreeing terms and a fee, but he's gone away on holiday which has delayed things a bit. However, we are hopeful of getting things tied up next week"added Huw

Just to say, Reading are keeping the bid a secret. Siggy will sign for Swansea in the end.

Fordham said this on Apr 27 - but can't see where McD has said he wouldn't try and get him back or that rumours we'd try and get him are "wide of the mark" - that's just Fordham's interpretation. :|

But reports linking Royals with a move for their former star Gylfi Sigurdsson, currently on loan at Swansea City from Hoffenheim, are wide of the mark.

McDermott said: “I would think that Gylfi would have his pick of the top four clubs in the country. There is no doubt about that.

“Could he not play for Barcelona? I think he could. I believe that. He has such a fantastic mentality and nothing would faze him. He could play at any club in the world. He’s as good as anyone I’ve seen.”



Everything McD says above is true - but no where does he deny they'd we'd at least try and get him! :wink:

Yep - he actually denied we were after Alf, he hasn't denied we're after Sig, just saying he would expect the big 4 to be after him - except they don't appear to be! :wink:

Reading FC on red alert over Sigurdsson deal
By Jonny Fordham
June 01, 2012

Reading are on red alert after Gylfi Sigurdsson’s proposed transfer to Swansea City hit a glitch.

Swansea released a statement on Monday declaring that they had won the race to sign the former Reading ace for £6.8million from Hoffenheim.

However, in a bizarre turn of events, the Bundesliga club have issued a denied any agreement has been reached.

Hoffenheim spokesman Holger Tromp said: “Gylfi is a player with a regular contract in Hoffenheim and we expect him to be back in training on June 18.”

With Swansea boss Brendan Rodgers heading to Anfield, Merseyside has become 22-year-old Sigurdsson’s most likely destination.

However, Royals will be keeping a close eye on the deal, with fans desperate to see the midfielder return to Madejski Stadium.

Anton Zingarevich’s takeover at the club will allow manager Brian McDermott to access instant funds to bring in new recruits.

And there would be no better way for him to show the fans that he means business than by bringing back the man who scored 20-goals in the 2009/10 campaign before being sold for a club record £7million to Hoffenheim.

Sigurdsson scored seven goals in a 19-game loan spell at the Liberty Stadium this year, and ironically his last game for Swansea was against Liverpool in a 1-0 win on May 13.

Reading FC Legends take on a Luther Blissett Celebrity XI at Madejski Stadium on Sunday (2pm kick-off).

Former Royals midfielder Lawrie Sanchez will be in charge of a side that includes Michael Gilkes, Mick Gooding, Ady Williams and Simon Osborn, while Ralf Little, Iwan Thomas and DJ Spoony will be among the opposition. For ticket information, visit www.readingarts.com

There have been very few players in the history of RFC where ALL supporters love them - Gylfi is one of those. I hope Anton has someone monitoring this site!
