Re: Ho(ut)we

For him, it is a good move which will help him in the future. For us, a bad move, I feel that in a few years (or less) we will view him as someone who we wished we had kept. he's 21 will nearly be 22 by the start of next season and still nowhere near displacing first-team players. he's played what?...

Re: Liam Moore to Brighton

This whole thread must be a wind up. How is Moore replaceable? He’s pacey, good on the ball, a warrior at the back and gave his all every game. Sure his form dipped this season but every player's did. You try playing in defence alongside the hopeless Gunter, Blackett and (at the time) Ilori and see ...

Re: Undisclosed

I'm pretty sure it's something the FA recommend for all transfers under 10m. Hides our true negotiating position anyway, if not a little frustrating anyway. Why do the fans need to know? The transfer fee would give an indication to what really happened with Kebe. £2m would suggest the bid may have ...

Re: Kebe has gone

Anyone happy about this is sorely mistaken. On a side right now that is in desperate need of quality one of the few players we had who fit the bill has just flown the coop. This is a big loss for a team. A happy, motivated and healthy Jimmy Kebe was a big part of why I felt we could/would go right ...

Re: Next Reading Manager: Press Conference @ 9:15

Somebody remind me what the point of sacking McDermott was and getting another manager in from a promoted team so late in the season is? I realise most of you are probably of the same view as me. I agree. If they wanted to take the club in a different direction that's one thing, however to replace ...

Re: Next Reading Manager

But Saints at least played good football - and were outside the relegation zone when Adkins got sacked. I wouldn't say Saints played good football, but they did have a better style than us. Not that it's much of a compliment to say that though! Personally I think we need something different from th...

Re: Next Reading Manager

Ok Adkins has a completely different style of play does he? Seems like an attacking style much like ours has been. I would hope that any decent manager would be able to make the most out of the players available. So you and Adkins bashers are looking for a manager who has the exact same style of pl...

No they were booing how shit Ledge has been all season

No, they were booing the substitutions.

Re: BFTG villa

Pearce at fault for second goal - was literally picking his nose as the initial cross game in and miles away from his man! Marriapa was bullied. Ledge gave away the first goal with an outrageously cr@p hoof in the air. I really can't see what Ledge offers that Jem, Tabby (sent off to Ipswich??) and...

Re: NO LONGER A RUMOUR - Gorkss out on loan

Maguire Good luck to him - class last year and should be guaranteed a great reception from Reading fans whenever he returns


Exactly this ^.

The team improved significantly the moment we signed Gorkss last season and I thought he was hard done by not to get the player of the season award.
