Gylfi Sigurdsson

[Ian Royal]

Yeah it would have been an absolute no brainer to reject a team where he would have been guaranteed first team football whilst fit, when it was also one he knew well and had thoroughly enjoyed his time at.

[redscot]

Unless they pay was bad....

[Sanguine]

He's hardly doing a Scott Sinclair at Spurs, he's made 34 appearances this season.

[Terminal Boardom]

Hmmm. Let me think.

Do I stay at Spurs and have an opportunity to play Champions League next season or do I play for Reading who are likely to be in the Championship?

All irrelevant as he is under contract to Spurs and no bid has been accepted.

Exactly lol. He isnt going to come back anytime soon so stop dreaming. I think he will come good for Spurs, and by that I mean start showing more and more of the top player he can be. He has done fairly well for them so far, obviously its not that easy for him to get in the team, but I think he might just start rivaling Bale when it comes to curling in a few beauties like he did for us and Swansea. Lets hope he does, I like seeing ex RFC players doing well

[melonhead]

thing is, sig is never going to come away with a discussion with bale about who will take the free kick near the area with the ball in his hands

[ZacNaloen]

Unless it's his ball. And he wants to go home.

My reading of the Evening Standard article was that Gylfi was just being sensibly diplomatic.
He would have been daft to tell Spurs that he wished Reading's bid had been accepted, but at the same time he significantly did not say that he was delighted to be staying at Spurs rather than returning to Reading.
Not burning bridges with either club.

It's the only real way he could respond after January. Just a shame the Damiao deal didn't go through. Back to square one.

[melonhead]

tbf, hes looking like getting a 3rd place finish and champions league football next year
id stay if it were me

Likewise. Plus the ££ is good going.

this. no other way to read into it, he acted as a footballer must act in the situation. at least he didnt pull an odemwingie.

[maffff]

What do you mean? ....he's joining our next car park protest.

[akranes]

Gylfi is given a proper chance, and now has 2 goals and 2 assists in 3 games?

Should shut some of you up.

[@sonkimarsson]

And that, IMO is the final nail in the coffin for this Sigurdsson dream.....

Yep. and Long. Close thread. Delete.

[Divvy]

Relegation was the nail in the coffin. Both are far too big for Reading. Even if we stayed up, Liverpool would very likely have rivalled us for him and you don't pick us over them. We're years, quite literally, at best from competing with those sort of clubs - if ever.

[genome]

Bring him back as manager

Agreed. "We move on" for real this time.

[Ian Royal]

I remain more convinced than ever that Gylfi will be returning home to Reading in the next transfer window

Weekend at Church's pad?
