bigmikeElm Park Pastybigmike I did name someone in the previous thread when I said when the takeover would happen i also said that there was a deal being worked on for Gylfi. To which I was told that I was full of it as the deal with Swansea was done... Now it seems that Hoffenheim got pissed off with the way Swansea had been informing the press and effectively pulled the plug. Now it seems that Reading are in with a very good chance of Gylfi coming back.
I was ripped a new one for naming Gylfi by my reliable source. Who has since been less than informative recently. I do know that there is a player who is being looked at that would be a significant signing if it comes off.
Time to put my wellies on and wade in!! I do recall that Big Mike did actually mention two names on the 'other thread' (I am presuming this is the TSI takeover thread). I remember it quite well simply because it seemed to be missed by a lot of people posting afterwards. Engaging my dull memory, I think this was mentioned as a sounding out about the chances of a year long loan? I think the name mentioned was Jermaine Defoe. However, I maybe wrong. I have slept since then. And RFC have been linked with just about any player with a pulse.
I did mention Defoe but I think it was in the manner of I dont think it will be him as wages would be a problem. The person I know of is on International Duty at the moment so I suspect that nothing will be heard of untill after the Euros. So that rules out the person being Scottish . He is also not English.
Mariappa it is then!
