It’s the same injury Obita had wasn’t it?

Puscas got crocked with Romania didn’t he?

Meite’s injury happens. Guess they are looking at some of the recurring ones - Swift, Yiadom etc. Those were certainly disappointing

FFS Desperate news that

Excellent stuff. 2 good results this evening

Why is everyone saying we have a good start?? Have you forgotten we won one of our last 11? We will have a weaker team and parno was clueless to stop the rot. Won’t necessarily have a weaker team. Depends on which loans etc we can get in. Hopefully have Swift fit as well We should be selling him as...

Can’t see Swansea being much good this year tbh

Happy enough with the cup draw. Normally cheap tickets and nice summer evening to go and watch for the home tie

Were there lots of people leasing cars when COVID first struck then?

pretty sure not signing joao would have dramatically altered our performance Joao certainly the obvious standout difference maker, but Puscas may well have stepped up more last season if there was no Joao. And I doubt we'd have been in a relegation fight either season without him. So basically - sa...

I can't see no fans being allowed in, at least unless some new variant pops up and we start again

Agree the bus is far more likely to be the source of spread than the stadium itself. Guess still a lot of uncertainty, but hopefully we'll get at least 50% in

maybe, he had some quality. But the fact he hasn't really shone in scotland or at sunderland suggests he probably wouldn't have been too hot in the champ.

very much doubt it was £5m to be fair I don't think anyone would defend keeping hold of Loader. And few keeping Moore in retrospect. Keeping Swift rather than selling for £3m. Purchasing Ejaria, Joao and Puscas weren't necessarily poor decisions. To be honest if the EFL allowed us to bring those 3 i...

I suppose 3 million does count as 'millions'. Coz thats all shelf utd offered

doubt Loader was more than 2 mil tops

It's hardly a new thing Nameless. There's no setting of precedent. And no, you almost never see players arguing about penalties. And the ones you do, possibly not the sort of players you should be keeping in your squad. I'd suggest the players are probably arguing over penalties because they back t...

Gillingham have signed central defender Max Ehmer from Bristol Rovers leading to new speculation about Reading signing Mr Tucker. To be honest unless he is obviously better than Moore, Morrison, Holmes or McIntyre I can’t see any point in him signing. MM prob one season left in him, potentially sti...

Welcome to him

not exciting but saw these chaps advertise on SSN this morning

Which is absolutely the model, the "problem" is if/when more clubs move to follow it, then you likely have a lot more clubs uncovering similar players, so the pool of players who are good enough and available at a decent price gets smaller as there are more vultures circling - it also bec...

You do have to acknowledge just how insane the Championship is and the levels of spending involved. There is no 'sensible' way of turning a club like Reading into promotion candidates. Either you throw a ton of money over a few seasons and hope you get promoted before FFP hits or you basically just...

yeah agree with that pretty much ^^

calling him an 'idiot' does ignore the plenty of good things down - the super low ticket prices, free bus travel away, spending money on the team, definitely more recent steps to getting more local businesses involved
