RoyalJones Nah, Cooper is never worth 5m

Nicky Hammond would have got £10m for him.

Probably, and that is the main reason why we will miss Hammond, because of his outstanding negotiating skills

How long are we stuck with Kermie ? I'm on the fence with Kermorgant at the moment, I feel he hasn't done too badly and has created chances but it's clear he is far from his best and mentally shot (not as much as Vydra but is still recovering from his rejection at Bournemouth) I could tolerate his ...

Being linked with this french striker: http://www.getreading.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/arsenal-transfer-target-anthony-koura-11283297 Supposedly going to be loaned out to us by Arsenal. He looks decent with a lot of pace which is what we need up top running off Kermit, not a fan of the loa...

their only hope to make money is to build infrastructure, do enough in the transfer market to keep us solvent and keep us in the championship, and hope that our academy can eventually propel us to the premiere league.

I work with some of Aaron Kuhl's mates and by the sound of things, he'll be off this summer. Apparently he's only been offered a one-year deal here and a longer deal elsewhere. That's a shame because he was very promising, however, I don't think he'll fit in to the high tempo game that McDermott wi...

He was sold. However, even without Sa still being here we could generate quite a bit of income with player sales with the likes of Cooper and Williams likely to head out the door amongst others. Don't forget we still have Blackman's money and Hector's to play about with. Pointless though if the Tha...

Team as it is for next season: Ali Al Habsi Gunter McShane Cooper Obita McCleary (Stacey) Tshibola Norwood (Evans) Quinn (Fosu) Kermorgant Rakels (Samuels) Very good individuals in there, but not good as a team, need hungry young players like Tshibola in the team. So this year we really need to buy...

To sign St- Glenn Murray/ Bradshaw Cam - Bradley Dack Lw - Gudmundsson/ Hammill Cm (backup for Tshibola)- open to suggestions Lb (backup)- Taylor CB- Mariappa CB- Holding Out Norwood Williams Hurtado Cox HRK Cooper Id like to see 4-2-3-1 like we did when sig was here, with Dack/Tanner in the 10 rol...

Nah, Cooper is never worth 5m but I just based it on what I think Eddie Howe would pay for them if he come in for them both. He'd be stupid to come in now for 5m with Cooper. I think Howe will pay a hefty amount because of his age.

Starting 11 could include: 4-5-1 GK - Al Habsi LB - Obita CB - McShane CB - NEW DEFENDER (if Cooper goes, maybe someone Mariappa who is reasonably faster than Cooper) RB - Gunter (Or Whittaker) CDM - Quinn (if Norwood goes) CDM - Tshibola CM - (someone more advanced like Piazon but slightly more de...

Youth Players for next season:
Stacey
Kuhl (if he signs contract)
Tshibola
Fosu
Tanner (bench)
Samuel
Barrett
Moore (bench)
Keown

I wouldn't put them all in to the lineup straight away except Tshibola and Fosu but slowly integrate them in to the squad

Norwood (I'd accept 4m for him)
Obita (I'd accept 3m for him)
Cooper (5-6mil)
Cox (Free)
HRK (Free)
Hurtado (I'd accept 500K)
Kuhl (Free)
Williams (I'd accept 2m)

I would think that a lot of players you mentioned will be out the door: Norwood (Big fan but doesn't suit the reading way with the high tempo that we used to play a number of years back and be successful) Obita (I don't think he will be even though he is linked with Bournemouth) Cooper (He'll get be...

Who will stay and who will go this summer? This also includes coaching staff and directors as well as the players. Do we include a lot of youth next season? What budget do you think we'll have? Who will be in the starting eleven come the first league game of the season? Who deserves to stay? And one...
