Reading manager Brian McDermott has revealed the club failed with a deadline-day bid for Tottenham midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson.

The Royals said they made a club-record bid on deadline day thought to be in the region of £10m with McDermott later confirming Sigurdsson as the player.

"We sat around last night, we tried to do a deal and we couldn't do it," McDermott told BBC Radio Berkshire.

 

Yeah, made 3 bids for him apparently :/ absolutely gutted by that. Gylfi would have come back too, if only Spurs had accepted the bid. I would have been sure that we would have stayed up had we got him. With him, Carrico, Le Fondre, Kebe and Karacan etc, I'd have been sure we'd stay up. As it is, I have a lot of hope, but there is obviously still some doubt.
