sandman I'd rather be in the position we're in now than the one he got us in.

sandmanswansea jackIcelandicStokie I feel a bit guilty here as Swansea came into the discussios of Gylfi when the heard of Readings discussions with Hoffenheim. They stole him!!!
Pleased with this if true.
I know why you're pleased but I'm not sure it will be that good for you.
It was only when McDermott came in and built the team around him that Gylfi prospered. He'd shown flashes of what was to come before that but the manager at the time, you might know him from somewhere, displayed no inclination as to how to use him properly within the team. I hope for Swansea's sake and the sake of Gylfi's career that Rodgers has learnt his lesson and is more than just a profiteer from Roberto Martinez's work as many suspect.

peterroyal76 To be fair Rodgers has done a good job, but they were playing the same formation and style under the previous two managers. I didn't think at the time we should have got rid of him, but it was the right decision.

Libertine Here is how I think it went down...
Hoffenheim: Hey Reading. We're looking to loan out Gylfi to get him back in form and he said he would love to come back there, where he has had success in the past, for a spell.
Reading: Really? We're interested but can you pick up some of his wages?
Hoffenheim: Hmmmm....
Swansea: Hey guys we'll take him and pay his full wages.
Hoffenheim: Deal!!!!

Any idea of his Hoffenheim wage?

swansea jack Not so sure we're in that different a boat to the one you were in regarding wages paid in the Prem. Believe Graham is on a total package of 30-35k pw inc. all bonuses etc... and this is above all others so doubt we'd be paying Sig's full wage if he's on over, say, 25k...?

lol
Seems Rodgers was the one to nurture Gylfi...do you know anything about your own team? But you're right, it's going to be really difficult to slot an attacking midfielder, with top long range / dead balls skills, into a 4-5-1 in a team that plays a little more than just hoofball
Sousa took us back a number of steps whilst Rodgers has taken us past where Martinez would've been with us by now. Look at how Wigwam are doing...
Just a little jeaLOLous that your ex-manager and ex-best player are now with us eh?
