Ambition in question

[brendywendy]

i do question that highly spun statement
thats not my memory of it at all.i thought hed said he was sad to go, but it was right for him and his career and the club to accept the move

and i think its ok to question when someone says, in an argument, well i have a very good source, that i cannot reveal to you, that proves i am right.
think thats fair enough

You lot are clueless. RFC have no ambition and will be found out this season. If we go down I don't give a shit. It's what we deserve. The only positive is that the Madman may **** off. The soon the betterrrrr

Yes, you said that last season. Now fvck off.

And regarding sig. Random reasoning>>your sources at the club

Actually there was more than supposed sources at the club. Or did BBCRB completely fabricate the interview they broadcast with the Sig after he left the club, during which he stated that the club had persuaded him to leave, as they felt it was in the best interests of him and the club?

My recollection of the Siggy move - which came directly from people intimately involved in this transfer - was that the expectation everyone had was that he'd leave at the end of last season (i.e. 9 months later than he did). This was all tentatively mapped out and agreed as part of GS's career planning.

But Hoffenheim - who had been in regular contact about him checking on his progress for several years - made an offer which was considerably higher than anyone could expect - especially as it was cash up front. The club and GS then sat down and discussed this, and both parties decided it was in everyone's interests for the deal to be accepted. Once of the major factors for accepting this deal was that Hoffenheim had been such regular enquirers about GS, whereas there had been NO contact or interest whatsoever from any Premier League clubs. And the club certainly didn't "force him out" - they didn't tout him for sale, it was the culmination of Hoffenheim's long interest.

I'm not sure he was actually "persuaded" to leave as is being suggested, but under the circumstances it was no surprise he went to Hoffenheim, the only surprise was that they made their offer 9 months earlier than suggested an the size of the offer. At the time everyone agreed it was in everyone's best interests, including GS - which is a quite different what i being suggested.

Last season? How about every season for the last decade. Incontinent ranting while the transfer window is open followed by months of silence while Reading are winning on the pitch. I suppose we should be grateful for small mercies.

Certainly makes me feel better about being so sure he'd stay 'til at least the January, probably all season, at the time. If that's what the club and Gylfi thought, then I can forgive myself for also getting it wrong.
