This is simply outrageous. Gylfi was the one thing that made us anything other than mid table to relegation battle fodder. This he has already proven in the games this season. We would (and most likely will) be Bottom 3 without him, he really was a class above this league and we needed that. At least he's left us with a sublime goal on Saturday.
I don't think it matters who (if anyone) we bring in - they won't make up for this loss. Madejski has clearly decided that he's missed his chance to sell on the club, the parachute payments have gone and his cloth is lower league. We're cutting and I don't think this will be the end, in fact he'll happily take us back to where we came believing he's left a legacy in the stadium and our premiership memories.
What bugs me is that cynical old me says the contract signing in the Summer was a pure sham to secure season ticket sales and now they're done he's off. Disgraceful.
