Gylfi is leaving Reading

[General B]

Even worse than the Hot Dog, Sausage Roll song?

That is a brilliant song, and is up there with the Ray Ranson one in terms of lyrical content.

[rhroyal]

Decent fee I guess.

[rabidbee]

I've heard it's 7M plus add-ons.

Could go up to 9M.

No, no. £9m is the basic. Could rise to £11m.

Get your facts right... £13m basic rising to £15M

Is this how hyper-inflation works?

[Millsy]

I've heard Madejski is releasing 100k of the Gylfi funds for new players.

Falling to 80k if he can get away with it.

[Kitson12]

LOL, even though I know you've made it up it just sounds so real! Oxf*rd old coot.

ive heard its closer to 50k

[Ferris]

Don't start this shit again

[Millsy]

Don't start this shit again

Actually a source close to the club has told me it's 30k, possibly falling to 10k.

Didn't Noel Hunt just tweet that?

[Millsy]

Oh don't worry about losing Gylfi, after all the club has just signed Ian Harte

[loyalroyal4life]

So was the final fee potentially as much as £7m or is that the EP just making numbers up?

[IcelandicStokie]

The Hoffenheim manager says Arsenal were also after Gylfi!!

Also confirms they watched Gylfi in training at Reading last week and it was the managers 19 yr old son who is in college at Reading who kept telling his father about Sigurdsson.

SOLD WAY TOO SOON!!!!!!!

[andrew1957]

Well I just wanted to apologise to the club for my earlier rants. I have now realised how lucky I am to be a fan of RFC. After all we now have Ian Harte in exchange for Siggy. Wow we really have got the best end of the deal. We now have a 33 year old left back who can play CB. This is brilliant news and I could not be more happy. Cardiff have Craig Bellamy but we have Ian Harte.

I am now really content that Sir John can pocket the £6.95M in change after he has shelled out the princely sum of £50K. He deserves it.

Brilliant news - what a transfer window and we now have a much stronger squad than last week. We should walk the division now - what can stop us.

[juanpablo]

not sold to soon imo as the money was decent

however Gylfi jumped ship to quickly from a personal point of view surely the prem was the place to go

[LoyalRoyalFan]

Forced out rather than a personal decision.

[Platypuss]

Forced out rather than a personal decision.

Although Gylfi himself said exactly the opposite.

Agreed. Gylfi's greed will be his downfall.

Lost in the barren wasteland of the Bundesliga from an early age instead of getting more of a name for himself here either with us in the Prem or going to Arsenal or someone infinitely better than Hoffshite.

Good riddance to him.

[TFF]

someone infinitely better than Hoffshite.

Welcome back Spacey

He is 20, spending 2-3 years in Germany potentially playing in Europe will do him no harm. As others have mentioned previously the Bundesliga is on the way up and i think it will be a good step for him before a possible move to Premiership

well he aint exactly going to tell the truth is he, how would that make the squeaky clean RFC look?
