Gylfi returning on loan?

He's also got a pretty low opinion of your d1ckhead fans the way they behaved after the Play-Off final btw.

Care to expand on this?

Ask STAR for the transcript of the last fans' forum. Let's just say that they were more concerned with the Reading players coach leaving Wembley than celebrating their promotion.

I was not trying to be confrontational just giving an honest opinion and have made a strongly worded post to defend myself after being accused of things that were not my aim in the original post .

I'm afraid Royalee that you are the one that accurately portray's most of "the tossers on here". You are arrogant, condescending, pig headed and you abuse people for comitting the cardinal sin of disagreeing with. I'd like to think you're just Trolling but sadly I think you may actually be serious.

Told you all at the time that the club were making a mistake and some of the remarks at the time were ridiculous. While it's a shame we didn't go up last season, it's justice in a way that Rodgers has done so well to stick two fingers up at our board and some of the numpties on here. Wasn't some of the criticism that Rodgers lost the dressing room and the players didn't like him? If that was the case, why has Gylfi signed for him today?

Typical thick HNA posters clutching at straws knowing nothing about football - the same ones who said Pearce was shit and couldn't pass the ball to save his life.

Apparently our manager doesn't know anything about our team either because Brian just made the same point about Rodgers inability to play Gylfi in the right position when he was here on the radio ("I just hope the manager there plays him in the right position this time"). He's also got a pretty low opinion of your d1ckhead fans the way they behaved after the Play-Off final btw.

I didn't hear the interview with McDermott but I'd be very surprised if it wasn't a tongue in cheek comment at worst. It doesn't sound like the kind of thing he'd say, unless he was led into it by Dellor that is.

Sigurdsson wasn't ready to run the game from the middle of the park to start with, in fact I think it took McDermott a couple of months (and I think perhaps an injury) to switch him inside after also playing him on the wing to start with.

It wasn't entirely tongue in cheek. All Dellor said was that Gylfi had gone on loan there and Brian came up with the comment and then expanded on it with "if he's played off the striker he'll do well and score goals there". Brian said at his first FF that he knew as soon as he came in as manager that the team needed to be built around Gylfi.

I get the feeling that Rodgers is one of the few people Brian doesn't get along with.

Realities of losing the play off final. If we won we would still have Mills, Long bought Graham, Gorkes, would be signing Sig and Kebe would be staying. Instead we are selling everyone buying a load of div two crap, and slowley sliding towards division one.

Have I been misreading the league table ?

It wasn't a couple of months for Dellor, it was pretty quick. I think there might have been a delay moving him central because Kebe wasn't fit.

Rodgers did briefly play Gylfi centrally, but the midfield behind him was Matejovsky and Howard. Good passing football, but only Howard could put a foot in.

LOL @ Rodgers being the one who developed Sigurdsson. Lampard did more, and he was barely at the training ground.

Errr Matt Mills, Shane Long who was the by product of BR's lack of regard for fitness training (for which we have always exceled in this division - snowball im sure you will find some stats here) thus turning Long into a vastly overweight and unhappy footballer during his tenure (case study has to be QPR away). Tell you what Royalee though, i think its time to stop using BR as a stick to beat your all time fave Steve Coppell (how excruciatingly annoying must it be for one of his close troops to actually now be in charge at RFC and not break that link). Better still it would be nice to properly recognise the ability of our current manager who has managed to turn water into wine with a much maligned decreasing transfer budget than any of his predecessors (yes i include Coppell!) and a squad that has thus far defied many fans and myself included in terms of league position, irrespect of the financial position that Madjeski holds at the helm

I'm assuming by Dellor you mean McDermott?

I think the Kebe factor may have delayed changes yes, and you're right that Rodgers did try Sigurdsson through the middle but, like McDermott didn't quite have the team around him to make it work at first.

Rodgers played a big part in getting Sigurdsson up to speed in the Championship and there's no doubt in my mind that playing him in the middle from the off wouldn't have been as successful and that he needed a more gentle introduction into the side. You can LOL all you like at it of you want but the fact is that Rodgers was the one that rightfully put him in the side and gave him his legs at Reading. Not diminishing the job McDermott did in getting the most out of him but there has been some serious mis-information around the subject going on here.

[peterroyal76]

Royalee its time to move on and take off those RTG, Brendan has gone now. As I've said before I didn't want us to get rid of him, but we did and its turned out ok.

[swansea jack]

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.

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?

You just missed out on the Play-offs under Sousa so he didn't do too badly. Do you actually know anything about your team?

I hate your manager but don't dare suggest I'm being negative towards that lad. I wish him the best of luck and hope he can get a move to a bigger and better PL club after his loan move. If not maybe you can sign him and give us the 40% that we're owed for his next transfer.

You were actually a good and fair poster on here last season but it seems mixing with the big boys has given you a smug sense of superiority. Good luck for the rest of the season you play good football and I hope you stay there.

P.S. I'd much rather have a good honest man like Brian McDermott managing my club than a big head like Brendan Rodgers.

You have been chewing a wasp today! Some rather odd comments.

1. Please explain the rather odd comment Re: our fans at the play-off final. Not heard a word of this so called 'behaviour', there has certainly been nothing posted on here, and I suspect you're still crying over the loss. We have some nutters as do you, I've seen both, and I suspect it's little more than a little post-match teasing. Grow the oxf*rd up man.

2. BR even seems to be a little jeaLOLous if he really said that... Grow the oxf*rd up man.

3. Finishing out of the play-offs with Sousa was a complete failure under the draw specialist Sousa. One of the reasons he left but perhaps you didn't notice this with your head up BRs ass. Grow the oxf*rd up man.

4. No smugness. Just a retort to your sad on-going hatred of BR. Seriously confuses me why there are still so many of these on here...? A Reading man failed, made a number of mistakes, was a bit too cocky but IT WASN'T AS THOUGH HE DID IT ON PURPOSE a la Burns, McGee etc... Grow the oxf*rd up man.

Long has always been borderline overweight. Very surprised about the fitness comments as our guys usually dominate the running stats each game.

Heard Gylfi wanted to come back but wages / insurance fees meant that this was never going to be a viable option

I can back up the comments about the Swansea fans if you want. I have some notes from that Fans' Forum somewhere, but I remember him getting angry about their behaviour.

Obviously this is Reading we're talking about

[sandman]

I suggest you're the one who needs to grow up SJ but I'm not going to get in a slanging match with you. I gave you an honest assessment of Rodgers and his dealings with Gylfi whilst at Reading, I'll continue to be honest and rational and if you don't like it that's you're prerogative. I also detailed some of the things Brian did to change the team when he took over although I can forgive you for not understanding them as they weren't in the wider public domain.

Eamonn Dolan and others were the people who nurtured Gylfi thorough our academy and Brian McDermott brought out the best in him for our first team something Brendan couldn't do. You only have to look at the amount of players Brendan used as manager to see that he didn't know what to do with several players (including Shane Long and Jimmy Kebe) or what his best side was.

I think I've seen enough of our "ex best player"s move to other clubs in recent years to worry about any petty jealousy.

Well done on your team's first away win today and good luck for the rest of the season.

[TBM]

We dont need Gylfi though, we could do with another winger and defender first

Think you were the one spreading the h8 about our fans, manager and a random assertion that Sig will fail under BIG WATCH without being able to back up any of it m9. Honest and rational

[TBM]

Ignore him SJ - i for one wish both Gylfi and Swansea luck for the remaining of the season.

If he is given the freedom to wonder then you'll see the best from him
