We are interested in Hiram Boetang

Under 24 so some compensation payable. IMO a bit inconsistent, but capable of these sort of moments. A number of clubs interested and we are one.

New winger + possible new striker

We are closing to raiding Swansea's reserves for winger Dyer. Fee of about £350,000. Player in advanced talks. We have also scouted Exeter City's Jayden Stockley a few times. They spent 100k of the incoming Watkins to Brentford money, and will want a healthy return. Norwich and Birmingham also inter...

Re: Carrico Watch

Brayson must be past 250 goals now, and earns more than a lot of L2 players do. He played for England C, Cardiff, Cheltenham and York. He is a non league legend in the NE and actually parks arses on seats. And the ball hit the inside of the post V Forest and trickled along the line. My then wife cri...

Re: Rumour - Le Fondre To West Brom

If the club has any sense, they will give him a moderate contract increase, as if we go down, he will (should) be one of the first picks. He is the 5th top English scorer in the prem, and has scored more than so called many 'names' from abroad. He will end up with 13/15 goals mostly from the bench i...

Re: New manager, split decision.

Half a dozen at best. Frequently less. Point being, Adkins could be seen as a sideways move.

New manager, split decision.

The 'old guard' JM, NH and NH favour Dolan until the end of the season. AZ wants a name, which won't be Adkins, who has had Southampton leaking goals, spent a fortune and has been half a dozen points at best above us most of the season. Expect PDC or a continental manager with a middling profile, al...

Re: Potential managers to replace mcdermott

1) Keep MD until Jan then see where we are. 2) If we are being brave, Tisdale, Bashir, Dolan, 3) If we are being more conservative (or sensible) RDM, Solskjear (sp). For crying out loud try Pog and Alf (I love JR but he has never set the pl alight) Guthrie, Pearce and Morrison together. Tabb and Leg...

Re: Kebe's replacement will be O'Kane.

He tends to play more inside right when Danny Stevens (v.small winger mentioned in youtube post) plays, but better out right. Having watched him a number of times this season, I prefer him to Ritchie at Swindon, who is valued at double. A typical Reading signing, and my info is strong (as it was wit...

RUMOUR - Kebe's replacement will be O'Kane.

If Jimmy goes this month, his replacement will be Euanan O'Kane from Torquay. Speedy, consistent, eye for a goal, and has improved greatly over the last 18 months, far too good now for L2. Expect a fee circa 250k, and an outgoing loan to Plainmoor.

Re: Where does Simon Church fit in now?

Bignall back now after knee injury at Exeter. Saw him twice, not very convincing sorry to say, but in his favour, Exeter have had a desperate start to the season, and didn't create much for him.

Adam Le Fondre. So says a local journalist friend of mine from Rotherham. Mind you, so are Derby and one or two others. Plymouth failed with a 500k bid this window, as the player wants to move to the championship. He is expected to move in January. At 5-700k, wouldn't be beyond the realms of possibi...

Re: The old school RFC terrace tunes thread

Spent about 3 days trying to remember the chant we had away at Bristol Rovers (Twerton Bath era, 1990?) It got some singing, as we had a couple of replays and a league game around the same time..I think Martyn made one of the best saves in front of the away terrace I ever remember from Keith Knight?...

Re: Back from Plymouth

I would go back 10 years + for anything as uncaring, inept, and clueless as that. Plymouth have slightly found there legs since Mariner came, but they are not good at all. We made them look an upper mid table team. Which obviously they are not. I'm not prone to knee jerk reactions, either for or aga...
