Reading did come close to a big spend in January trying to get back their former midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson. And Madejski reveals that it was not money but problems at the Tottenham end that scuppered the deal.
“What happened was Tottenham were trying to buy somebody. If they had, then they would have sold Sigurdsson to us. It went right up to the wire but their deal didn’t come off.
“I don’t know who it was, it is none of my business but I think it was a guy from Brazil.”
This was, almost certainly, the Brazil striker Leandro Damiao whose move from Internacional broke down on transfer deadline day.
Reading’s bid, says Madejski, was: “Anton [Zingarevich, who Madejski sold the club for £25m last year] trying to be ambitious. Arguably, if we had got Sigurdsson it might have improved our chances.”

Rumpole I remain more convinced than ever that Gylfi will be returning home to Reading in the next transfer window
If you are right I will download and eat this page...with witnesses.

Gylfi would have been a McDermott (re)signing.
Adkins will want to break from the past and do his own thing/signings.
Gylfi will not be coming back.

Have you heard this directly from the club?
Because I have a mate who went to Southampton Uni and he knows Adkins, and he says Adkins IS interested in Gylfi. Not saying this is gonna happen but Adkins DOES like Sig and DOES want him back. Now we'll see whether Anton is serious or not. Also Gylfi IS interested in coming back.

Because everyone from Southampton knows Adkins intimately.

Of course he is. Why wouldn't he want to swap a starting place in a top 5 Premiership Club for a newly relegated Championship Club.
Silly me.
