Sigurdsson: Spurs better than Reds

July 13, 2012

New Tottenham signing Gylfi Sigurdsson has revealed he snubbed a move to Liverpool because he believes there is more chance of success at White Hart Lane.

It was widely expected that Sigurdsson would follow Brendan Rodgers, the manager under whom he flourished on loan at Swansea last season, to Anfield when the Northern Irishman replaced ousted boss Kenny Dalglish.

However, Spurs swooped to hijack the move with an £8 million bid for the Hoffenheim midfielder, who explained his u-turn by pointing out the differing potential of the two clubs.

"Liverpool are also a fantastic club but if you look at where Tottenham have finished in the last few years, they finished above Liverpool," Sigurdsson told The Sun.

"Everything about Tottenham just felt right for me. With a new manager, a new training ground and plans for a new stadium, I believe there are exciting times are ahead.

"I think everyone expected me to follow Brendan. But I had made my mind up to come to Tottenham and I'm happy with my decision.

"Brendan's a fantastic manager, I enjoyed my time at Swansea with him and hopefully he will do well at Liverpool. I spoke to him briefly after I had made my decision.

"What I said to him after I told him I wasn't going to Liverpool is between me and him. Obviously I owe him a lot. But in that sense it's a new era for me."

Bloody liar! If winning trophies is your main reason, why the hell did you sign for Spurs when it was managerless? Why will a team which is trying to win trophies be about to sell away their best player Modric? Just say Spurs pay you more lah...

Not sour grapes..... nobody wants to come to Liverpool now so they are giving all sorts of excuses.

doppelherz · #**16625** 13-07-2012, 11:56 PM

well Sigurdsson is a Manure fan so not surprised he would make such disrespectful comments.

Some transfer news...

Borini fee will be 7.9 million plus add ons..WHAT A DEAL!

As for Dempsey, Fulham want Downing or Carroll as part of the deal but Liverpool are only willing to offer Charlie Adam

I never smiled so wide in a long time when I read the club wanna sell Adam

Maxi Rodriguez has officially left Liverpool for his boyhood club Newell's Old Boys..

http://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/late...maxi-departure

His open letter to fans..

http://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/late...letter-to-fans

Personally, I feel very sad that yet another great player has left Liverpool after not having enough playing time while at the club, similar to Dirk Kuyt..

On a more positive note, Liverpool is close to signing Fabio Borini from Roma..

Interesting to read that BR was Borini's former boss, which he had played under him for Chelsea and Swansea. No wonder he managed to nab him so easily.

Where more italians have failed in d EPL than succeeded, hopefully Borini can follow in d footsteps of Zola and R Di Matteo and make a great impact!

This is a blow cos BR wanted to keep him. If he and Bellars leave, we will be light in the attacking department, again (tho we have signed Borini). Hope Cole and AA can step up, but that remains to be seen.

Anyone has thoughts about the Terry verdict? I wonder if Suarez had gone to court, the result would have been different? It's very clear how difficult it is to prove words spoken in a football match.

It's a WTF to us and Suarez.

Maybe but if we look at who are Suarez are dealing with will know what is the outcome

Terry ( former England captain ) vs QPR one will easily know who they are favour with

I don't think there was an option to go to court with Suarez's case as no police report was made. Plus, it's a huge risk for Suarez to go to court. Suarez isn't British, if he had lost in court, he would have a criminal record and his work permit might be revoked. We will then have to sell him at a huge loss as his subsequent buyers know he can't play in British clubs anymore.

Congrats to Fabio Borini on becoming our latest Liverpool strikier. Hopefully he can do much better than AC.

There have been rumours that AC could be on the way out if Fulham agrees to the swap of Demsey and another payout of $9 million for AC .

What I hope to see also to see some changes in midfield . we need someone who is a good playmaker and who can control the middle of the pitch . Sadly in recent times SG seemed to be not performing up to par as he is always injured.
