The Gylfi thread.

Not as good as Gascoigne, but might become as good as Le Tiss.

Le Tiss is a really good comparison actually IMO. Just a thinner version.

It was easy to see why he converted from being a striker to a defender. He was an absolute donkey up front when he played for the England U15's in the mid 80's.

Don't think this has been posted anywhere yet: http://www1.skysports.com/football/news ... Gylfi-deal

Looks like Liverpool is all but sealed then as Swansea don't have a chance anymore...

This is interesting though, looks like Gylfi certainly will be used in rotation: http://www1.skysports.com/football/news ... eds-chance

[Isaac Hunt]

He'll get plenty of games at Liverpool, even with a bit of rotation. They're in the Europa League - they'll go further in cups - he'll be good enough to hold down a regular spot if he keeps injury free.

[who are ya?]

Of all the clubs to go to I'm going to struggle to look him in the eye on MOTD

It's the bit that reads

Up until then Sigurosson hadn’t fulfilled his expected potential having had an unsuccessful spell at Reading before being loaned out to Crewe Alexandra and also Shrewsbury Town

Nothing like a quick glance at Wikipedia 'Career' section before writing an article is there

I love all the comments on the blog from Reading supporters blasting him for that comment The idjit obviously never heard of Glyfi before his swans loan...and yet he has a BLOG?!? Can any old Tom, Dick or Harry get one of these? Jeez.

Er, yes.

[Avon Royal]

If Gylfi ever pulled on a Liverpool shirt he would be dead to me.

[PieEater]

I've no problem with him going to Liverpool and I wish him well. Him going to Swansea however would grind my gears.

[Friday's Legacy]

Close to an £8m move to Liverpool according to Ben Smith, BBC.

Reading's sell-on clause is not based on profit alone, and is thought to be somewhere between 10-20%.

Sky Sports now picking up on other 'clubs' than Swansea and Liverpool in talks with Gylfi Sigurdsson... Reading not named, but we are one of them.

I'd be as happy as the next fan if we have made a bid. But as it stands, we can only rely on your words.

Gylfi Sigurdsson is holding talks with Liverpool, as well as other Premier League clubs, despite appearing to be set to sign for Swansea.

Having spent the second half of the 2011/12 season on loan at the Liberty Stadium, the Swans made the acquisition of Sigurdsson's services on a permanent basis a top summer priority.

A club record £6.8million fee was agreed with Bundesliga outfit Hoffenheim, with then Swans boss Brendan Rodgers prepared to spend big in order to get his man.

Rodgers has, however, since left his post in South Wales to take charge of Liverpool.

Doubts were immediately raised regarding Sigrdusson's deal with Swansea, with it expected that an approach from Anfield would be on the cards.

Rodgers announced on Friday that he would not hijack any deal that had been put in place, but he is prepared to pounce if the 22-year-old becomes available.

It appears that is now the case, with it understood that transfer talks are being held between Liverpool and Sigurdsson's representatives.

The Reds are not the only side in the running, though, with a man who netted seven times in 19 appearances for Swansea last term generating plenty of interest.

Looking every more unlikely...

Tommy Smith mk2!

I couldn't argue if Sigi went to a top 6 club.

[Ian Royal]

As long as it's not Swansea and we've given it a go, we can't have any complaints.

[dogzbollox]

Man Utd anyone...?

Very decent passer, poor tackler, shot like a bullet - sounds like a perfect Scholes replacement to me.

[tomrfcurz]

If United go in for him, he's theirs. Even if they offer less money - they are arguably the biggest club in the country and above all else Gylfi is a Man Utd fan therefore even if he sits on the bench there and won't at Reading or Liverpool he'd probably still consider them as the preferred choice
