If Tottenham accept a bid, and we stay up - with at least a little dignity, I'm sure he'll sign.

Always plays well with the little time he gets for Spurs, and must be getting annoyed. Sigurdsson > Holtby

He has always looked poor for spurs from what I have seen, they play him out of position but he hasn't made much of an impact when he plays

Hardly played out of position; he's in the middle of the front three in a 4-2-3-1. Why is no-one admitting that he's just off form or not quite Champions League quality yet? It's not Tottenham's fault.

thought he had some nice touches last night, you can see what a difference he would make to a team like ours

Reading is the best solution to revive his career and hopefully it will happen in the summer.

I would argue that Swansea would be a better option for him. We don't play the right football for his style.

Because there's no way a professional football team would be able to change the way they play to suit their personnel.

I mean it's not like we've switched formation in the last couple of months or anything either.

I really do not get why so many people are so obsessed with players who have left coming back to the club....Doyle, Long, Kitson, Sigursson to name but a few!!

They left an old job an are now at their current one - how many of you have gone back to a job you left a couple of years previous??!! Not many of you I suspect.....

Just please get over these previous employees and look to the future rather than continually looking back at the supposed good old days :roll: :roll:

No, they usually play him on the left of the 4-2-3-1, he looks lost out there becauase he hardly has the pace to beat anyone

In Sigurdsson's case it's because we only got one season out of him and he was the most talented player we've ever had, possibly bar Friday - who never made at the top level. And he's genuinely just about in the very top end of our range for signings.

Bit of a special case.

Woah, chill out spaztards, i'm not saying he couldn't work here, i'm merely reacting to the assertion that Reading is "the best solution" for his career. Slotting into a mid-table team playing some lovely football that suits his style would probably be better then joining a team hanging on by it's fingernails and playing hoofball.

Wow, you've put Spastic and Retard together to make Spaztard. That's really clever.

Would coming to a club that he knows, who developed him as a player and who would build their team around him like they did when he played for that club before not be a good move? Then again Swansea invented football because nobody passed the ball before.

Again, not saying it wouldn't be a good move for him, just that Swansea would probably be better. He'd fit with less changes and has a better chance of playing at a higher level come next season.

Until very recently, that was Gareth Bale's role. For most of the season Sigurdsson has been in the middle. Only with the arrival of Holtby has he become something of a substitute winger.

Not forgetting that Sigurdsson broke into our side on the left and looked pretty great.

Royal Ginger Again, not saying it wouldn't be a good move for him, just that Swansea would probably be better. He'd fit with less changes and has a better chance of playing at a higher level come next season.

When Swansea inevitably sign a decent striker, Sigurdsson would be competing with Michu for a place in the side.

At Reading, he'd be competing with... Jake Taylor and Craig Tanner. With all due respect to those two, they aren't Michu.
