Spurs interest I'd imagine is what the new information is.

As for Brendan and his comments regarding Gylfi and Swansea. Maybe that was to appease the Swansea fans after saying he wouldn't leave then leaving.

Arnie_Pie The Spurs rumour must be bs. I hate it when a club without a manager gets linked with a player. Who actually wants to buy him at Spurs? Surely they wait until the new manager is appointed and ask them?

It is Liverpool or us.


Levy, he's pressing ahead with Vertonghen.

Can't see Tottenham getting him without a manager.

Gylfi has a big decision to make soon.

Does he join Liverpool, a famous club with a rich history, but play a bit part in Gerrard's shadow for a season or two; or does he come to Reading on an eye watering contract, eclipsing what we have offered Pavel Pogrebnyak, play every week, and help us realise Anton's vision for the club?

I can't even believe we're in with a chance, but we most certainly are. For the right player we seem more than prepared to compete with a club the size of Liverpool. Of course Liverpool must remain favourites, but if Gylfi wants regular football, on big money, at a club where he has a real connection with, then we do have a chance.

The only thing I have to add on top of what FL has said is that we had initially offered to match the contract offer Swansea made. In discussions this week, with McD/Anton, we have increased that and would be willing to pay him more than Pog with bonuses too....... our 'wage cap' appears to be in the region of just over £40k p/w...... We have offered a higher weekly salary than Liverpool.

I'm not doubting you, but I find that last line oh so hard to even comprehend.

All I can say is that Anton is very serious about making us a top ten PL club. We are very lucky to have him as our owner and as a genuine fan. Long may it continue.

You and I both mate. This isn't the Reading that I know...... That's not to say he won't go to Liverpool and say "I've been offered this, if you want me match it". It's not as clear cut as all the Liverpool fans seem to think, they are still favourites, by a long way. But SERIOUS intent is there, we've had our eye on him since they day we went up (and nearly had him in the bag in January), and once Rodgers moved on things moved quickly to try to get him in.

Arguably Sigurdsson would be a much more important player to Reading than to Liverpool or Spurs, so it's not inconceivable that we could be offering him more per week than them, he obviously wouldn't be going there as one of the higher earners.

Also he has less than half a season's experience of playing in the Premier League so he may not get that much playing time at Liverpool. Better for him to play for a team like Swansea or us for a couple of years before making the big jump to a top four club. (OK top eight in Liverpool's case)
